2009 Podracer Challenge: Special Pit Stop Sabotage Poll!

[Solo]

Two laps down and one to go, not a whole lot of position changes in the second circuit... but now's your chance to help your favorites in a different way - by sabotaging the competition while they make a pit-stop! This special poll is all about dirty tactics and trying to knock the competition out of the race - or into a rocky outcropping for a nice big explosion.

In this poll you are voting to take points away from other racers!

(Now you really don't want to be voting for yourself!). You've all got three votes to dish out the pain! Pick your least favorite pods and these votes will be subtracted from their progress before they start the final lap... Here are the current rankings:

1: 2: 3: 4:

5: 6: 7: 8:

9: 10: 11: 12:

13: 14: 15:

Crashed in lap 2:

(There was a tie for 16th place and they actually ran into each other... so we had 8 drop out instead of 7!)


This is a special one day only chance - The final lap will be voted on Saturday and Sunday.

(*Please don't take this round of voting personally, it's just a fun way to spice up the polls and make it feel more race-like. Maybe your pod just looks like it will make the biggest fireball! )

Here's the leaders as they rank at the end of lap 2:

I won't lie. I want to see #5 get it Quadinaros Style.

[Gold_2]

^No! No! No!

I got "banned from the contest" by sticking up for the Ben Q-style pod. Its unique, and was difficult to do well. I'll stand by it again and again.

Ahh, what would a chariot race be with out a little skullduggery!

[Kyle]

Crap, I forgot that one of those was Juns' when I was picking sabotage targets.

[meeotch]

Has anyone else been allowed to vote more than once in any of the polls, because I have.

[Solo]

OK honestly... do you even read the posts or do you just go "ooo, a poll!" and start picking numbers?

[meeotch]

I certainly hope that isn't directed at me, because I do read them all. I know that I have had the opportunity to vote for one of the laps twice, and I was on here shortly after midnight last night, and I was the second person to vote (3 votes total had been cast so far) and I voted, and I just voted again after posting that last comment about being able to vote twice.

[Turkguy19]

Oh, that's because Don redid the poles, so, only one of your votes counted.

[Solo]

OK, I get it now. Your wording was very misleading... everyone is able to vote multiple times in every lap. Last night you managed to catch the initial thread with visible results which got delete and replaced with this poll that you voted in. But since I just copy pasted the post and title you thought it was the same thread. No way you would have noticed unless you spotted the number change from 1000 to 1018. Don't worry, you only got to vote as much as everyone else.

[R(k)]

Nice twist! Watching this race is almost as fun as being in it.

[meeotch]

Ahh, that makes sense. And I did notice that the results are not visible now, which in retrospect is a very smart idea for you to do. Keep on keepin' on! I guess I would just recommend for the future that if you end up replacing a poll like that so someone would have to revote, make some kind of announcement because I almost didn't catch that I needed to revote because I was just clicking the "Jump to new posts" button and thus skipping ahead of the poll.

[Solo]

Only three people managed to vote in the first one, including myself, and I figured it was just the dorks in chat with me at the time. Next time I'll make a note of it though.

[Solo]

Looks like the poll's over... expect lap 3 to be up soon.
