in a number of the past tournaments we did the voting in threads on RM, so you couldn't really tool around with second accounts. Not as easily, anyway.

?
Instead of having a poll people would just post their votes. It was done that way specifically to make sure people couldn't use second accounts as easily. But I don't have the time to tally all that shit anymore. It took forever.

Just checked: I voted in the Immortality/Insignificance match yet didn't for Corduroy/Tremor Christ as I was happy for either of the latter to advance.

Perhaps, and it's stronger than ever this year.
The mods may have a better idea but I find it hard to believe that anyone would bother.
there were nine more votes in the insigificance/immortality match than there were in Tremor Christ/Corduroy. It's a bit odd.
I really don't think it's that odd. The Tremor Christ/Corduroy matchup wasnt nearly as close, so people may have ony voted in the one where it seemed their vote would matter.
If you were going to use a second account to vote, wouldn't you vote in both matches so as to avoid this suspicion?

It has a sense of sour grapes about it too; "I don't agree with the result so there must be something questionable about it."
Unless there's actual evidence of dummy votes, I think the whole conversation is kind of absurd.
