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?

Agreed. Insignificance and Immortality were neck and neck till the very end. It doesn't seem strange to me that there would be more votes there. The thread itself was probably more engaging because most people considered it a tougher choice.

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.
For sure.
