do you vote with a sock puppet to increase the number of votes your choice gets?

of course i register multiple fake accounts to vote in polls. i register as many as it takes. it's a lot of work, but once you see your perfect choice at #1 with a comfortable margin and you've lobbed some final references to lurkers to throw everyone off your scent, it's so worth it

I created 415 duplicate logins for this express purpose. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the passwords for all of them.

remember 'taytay fan' >:/

the best way of doing this is to have a partner with a similar taste to you who is willing to vote in the polls B-)

maybe 'taytay fan' was an ilxor o/h tho

Unless you're a) posting about something so incredibly personal and embarrassing that you don't want it permanently associated with your regular login or b) a troll, I've never really understood the point of socks.

Until now.

eh I can barely remember to vote in polls once, this all sounds like a lot of effort to me

ouch

but more than I like to see the distance by which something wins, I like to derive little shards of schadenfreude from things getting 0 votes

thus it is important to spare things I like from the same fate

usually zero votes just means it's no one's favorite, it could still be everyone's #2 pick

Number of times a poll has accepted my vote, even though I'm fairly certain I have voted before.

Mark G, Friday, 6 January 2017 21:44 (seven years ago) link

xp I'm happy to agree with that logic wrt food polls or w/e but for some reason when my 17th favourite song from 1996 has 0 votes on a poll it is a grievous insult against the universe
