I'll definitely have to make a throwaway Facebook account just for this contest and also put in an entry for for my lady (and one for everyone else in my family...lol no I kid, I kid  ). Assuming no one tries out your algorithm idea, about how many entries do you think there could be by the deadline? Just over 500 at this point. Hopefully it stays reasonably low, and any cheaters would be found out if there were suddenly thousands of suspiciously similar posts.  Best of "luck" to you too bud! lol! |
Yeah, they posted the 3 different options to vote for on the FB page for the cards earlier today. They do a lot of voting -- that's actually why its a signature card in the first place I believe. They wanted to do something to reward those who still made ordering right away a priority (like they used to with the limited run sizes) but not make it such a big deal that those who ordered within the original 2-week run later had a drastically different version (like with an additional "exclusive" statue piece or something).
And yeah, nothing wrong with getting your friends, family, and such to chime in for ya -- its just when they're not legitimate people that it becomes an issues. My suggestion to them would be simply rule out anyone whose account was created within the last 24hrs or something, but then I suppose that'd rule out your account which obviously isn't trying to take advantage of the system.
I suppose there's a few thousand people that are fans on facebook of both their regular page and their CC club page, though only about 500 or so were on the livestream, so its likely a 1 in 2500 or so chance (plus friends/family/etc.) I'd imagine.
