LC7: PHENOM (#1) vs. Doink (#6)

[The_King]

Don't worry, Andy and I are already on it because it's definitely suspicious haha. We're not jumping to any conclusions, but I sent a PM to Ben earlier asking him to check the IPs/emails/etc before we take any further action.
If Ben doesn't get back to me by tonight, I'll try another admin.
We have every intention to make sure there's no cheating in the league. It'll ruin the fun.

So this new guy called Adampunk signs up, votes for Phenom twice on the gfx league as his only posts even though there are more threads open and then goes off without doing anything, and right after that Phenom comes on? Bit suspicious. Screams alt to me.

I agree with Doink here. Looks suspicious to me too. It'd really suck if someone just weirdly pops up to vote for Phenom, especially when he's losing..

Derrick - Forgot to add when he was losing as well.

 

[!PHENOM!]

look like i losing my respect.... but not a match which is not a title match as well......very suspicious......

 

[Ben]

Tough choice but I went with Phenom here, overall it's pretty even but I like the text on his better.

 

[The_King]

Ben got backed to me, and the IPs were completely different so the votes will count. My hands are tied in this case despite the suspicious circumstances.
Apologies to -PHENOM-, Doink, and Andrew, and we'll be instituting a minimum post count to vote to avoid situations like this in the future.

 

[Doink]

Surely the votes can't count if someone comes on, makes 2 posts straight into the gfx league and then goes off.

 

[Lub]

With or without this cheating affair. Doink gets my vote here, I like his piece better.

 

[The_King]

We've decided that due to the suspicious circumstances that we will not count Adampunk's votes for the Alpha Dog and this battle.
Apologies to all those involved for the confusion and good luck for the remainder of the battle.
Since all the battles have been open for a few days, THE VOTING FOR ALL BATTLES WILL CLOSE AT 12:01 A.M. ON MONDAY MAY 21, 2012 (A MINUTE AFTER MIDNIGHT- roughly nine hours from this post). Good luck!

 

[Andy]

The battle is now closed.
Doink (6) def. -PHENOM- (5)
Congrats to Doink for winning a narrow victory!
