There was definitely some bots on our side 😅 I kept checking in and voting over the course of the day while I was working, and there were like 3k additional votes in two hours at one point. That being said, we were already ahead before that, if only by a couple 100 votes at the time.
I was lowkey paying attention to the numbers while voting and at one point both ed/stede and a/c numbers dropped by like 2k so I think both ships had bots and got caught lol 😅
considering all the shouts of FRAUD HARDER I do think it is fair for people to be suspicious lmao. but also I'm in ofmd and go circles to some extent and the ofmd side was boosting the poll a lot and I heard nothing from the go side, so.
even if someone did bot (which i honestly feel like people were just going in hard with voting knowing us) we were still around 200-300 ahead of them last time i checked and it seems like they kinda just gave up, so we still would’ve won. 🤷🏼♀️
they were, and in total fairness there were ofmd votes that were eliminated too. but their fandom went from nearly 7k to like just over 3k. and their votes were going up so fast that it was physically impossible. so they were 1000% botting to get ahead at one point.
Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean there are a good 1-2k of us regulars round most weeks if Bluesky/Tumblr/Reddit posts are a good gauge. If each of us voted once a day on a phone and laptop and/or had a friend/roommate/partner do it too, that's easily 12k.
We needed this win and we love a vote I’m just sorry the GO guys were our rivals. There’s a lot of fandom overlap and they’ve had a shit year with all the NG everything.
