No, Frankie jumped up 700 in the past 30 minutes and is about to overtake the other dog.

EDIT: Actually, Frankie's in 3rd now! Way to go!

No their not. I've been keeping an eye on it. They are getting votes fast but not as fast as frankie. Frankie has made up 1,000 votes on them in about 20 minutes.

Frankie is now in 3rd!

Something tells me JJ is going to be dead last when this is all over. :D

Is this true? Maybe using anon DNS servers would do something?

Just found out from my wife that Lucy was on the news this morning! :)

We had been told they might, but weren't sure it would run. We dont' get up quite that early, but recorded it and I didn't have time to look for it before coming to work. She is home watching it now. She said it was a really good little segment :D Not sure how much that may have helped, but is exciting. My dog was on TV! :D

OK, someone who knows something tell me if im right or wrong...

im using The Cloak to view the vote frankie page... so in theory, if the real site cant see my IP, it cant limit my votes, which means i could refresh faster than every 10 seconds? How do I edit the vote HTML to go faster?

The cloak might just be using the same IP every time. I would suggest opening multiply windows. One with out it. and maybe 2 or 3 with it.

"Just keep refreshing your screen. I was away for less than one minute and they went up 100 votes. Why can't people play nice. I am still pulling for you Jerzy and will continue to vote with the click of the mouse, not some macros. Good luck"

Guess some people refuse to admit when they are beat. Maybe when they are in third place tomorrow and fouth the next day...

I would like to thank everyone at fishing buddy for their support. Unfortunately at this time I am going to quit voting. You can do what you want. In regards to cheating I believe that cracker jack could have run a better contest only allowing one vote per e-mail address. Unfortunely they didn't and technology took over. I do not know if what was going on is cheating because the rules did not specify against it but I do believe that at sometime ethics and morals should be realized. Macro's are being run on both sides and yes even by me. I am really impressed with the way you at fishing buddy come together. You should be proud of that. The Bismarck Tribune article generated some good support and the rally on Sunday was all done without the use of macro's. I beleive that without the support of computer brains this could have been a fun competition but unfortunately a select few of us has turned it into more. Now this is starting to cause hard feelings on both sides of the fence and that shouldn't be. I will no longer support the negative path that this is following. I beleive we at fishing buddy did an excellent job and the offer to get together on the ice still stands. I will keep you posted on that. I apologize for any hard feelings to anyone on both sides I may have caused. Thank you.
