[QUOTE=Wheaties;30161349]It annoys me how Contag Contagious is winning. If you couldn't tell by his name that hes trolling, then look at the fucking message. Do you honestly think he'd leave the fate of his kids on the small chances that he'd win this contest?[/QUOTE] ...We're all aware, it's probably 4chan trying to fuck up the contest.
I'm going to turn on my macro and set it to vote and re-open my browser once I head to sleep tonight. Hopefully it might help. :unsmith:
[QUOTE=Elspin;30161486]...We're all aware, it's probably 4chan trying to fuck up the contest.[/QUOTE] I know you all know, it just bothers the shit out of me. There's a point where trolling isn't funny, and who ever made Contag Contagious went way past that point.
So I decided to make a bot to vote your mom, happy? [editline]31st May 2011[/editline] And now she is winning [editline]31st May 2011[/editline] I think I will vote for her about 200000 times.
I don't think she needs any more votes :) [editline]31st May 2011[/editline] Garry, stop breaking my automerge
Voted. I think its safe to say she's going to get that job.
Voted as well. Hope she enjoys her new job.

151,405 votes, let's hope she doesn't get disqualified for something.. :smith:

There's a point where trolling isn't funny, and who ever made Contag Contagious went way past that point.[/QUOTE] You know, I bet he think he's awesome, but really he's a dick. [editline]1st June 2011[/editline] lol, I've been taken out. Cool. Cool cool cool cool.
She was removed due to constant votes, people voting more than once. Anyways, I just want to thank you guys. It really does mean something to me to know that people in this world still care. :unsmith: Hopefully she has a opportunity like this in the future, other than that, there is nothing I can do.
It appears she's been removed... The person at the top only has 16k votes. Looks like a lot of people have been removed "/
[QUOTE=JonVX;30186432]To clear up the 2 Teri-Lynnes; I think my mom put her name twice by accident. Or someone is copying her name.[/QUOTE] Someone made it to disqual your mom, it didn't show up until she reached 1st place. Ask her to contact microsoft and have it removed.
It's so easy to get a job at a fast-food place, they're always hiring. Why does she have to win in a contest to get something that she gets easily?
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30186536]It's so easy to get a job at a fast-food place, they're always hiring. Why does she have to win in a contest to get something that she gets easily?[/QUOTE] I don't think everyone wants to work in a fast food place...
Just asked her to sign up again. If you see a Teri-Lynne on there, [b]only vote once, or she will be disqualified again.[/b]
Shit sucks that she got disqualified man. I'm sure your mum will find a good job eventually. Oh, happy ninja :unsmith:
[QUOTE=Mikeyspike;30186577]I don't think everyone wants to work in a fast food place...[/QUOTE] It's still money. If your mom is complaining she can't find a job and earn money, she's just a brat.
Fast food places aren't always hiring everywhere.
[QUOTE=Pascall;30186681]Fast food places aren't always hiring everywhere.[/QUOTE] yeah they kinda are. each and every one in my town is hiring, and so are the many other towns i have been to out of state. and if they aren't hiring now they will lose people soon.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30187114]yeah they kinda are. each and every one in my town is hiring, and so are the many other towns i have been to out of state. and if they aren't hiring now they will lose people soon.[/QUOTE] I want proof from every fast food place in the world before I believe this. Also not to be a dick, but I'm not surprised she got disqualified. Did you expect them not to do anything about it and let the whole contest go like that?
Regardless, this contest deal is an opportunity to maybe get a chance to do something else. I don't see the harm in looking into outside options. At least she's being proactive about it and signing up for it. Maybe she is looking for other jobs on the side too? You don't know that.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;30186661]It's still money. If your mom is complaining she can't find a job and earn money, she's just a brat.[/QUOTE] Maybe she wants to try and focus on this, rather than wasting energy on a job, in which she doesn't earn alot of money with, she could be entering things like this and trying to get herself somewhere, rather than a dead end.
[QUOTE=JonVX;30186611]Just asked her to sign up again. If you see a Teri-Lynne on there, [b]only vote once, or she will be disqualified again.[/b][/QUOTE] That's really dumb: tell this to the owners of the contest It is not fair to disqualify someone based on over-voting for two main reasons. For one, it could turn into a game of "Let's spamvote on people we DON'T want to win!". IE, give your mom like 6 legit votes then get everyone else disqualified. The second reason is you have no control over who spamvotes or not, and anyone could do it to grief someone. Please send them something like this, I'm sure they'll see the logic in this and if not we can always send them numerous strongly worded letters.

[QUOTE=Plattack;30187926]Because letting people spamvote themselves to victory isn't just as bad, if not worse?[/QUOTE] Wow :downs:. I wasn't saying we should do that, I was saying it's a stupid idea to disqualify her for spamvoting because it's so easy to right now that people could disqualify anyone they want.
let's spamvote everyone so NOONE gets it..
The only good fast food place where you'll earn shit loads of cash is becoming a manager at In-n-out, earn over $100,000 a year. Anyways back on topic.
