Scenic Boys need your vote - Sunday update

During my routine morning peek at the results page 30 minutes ago, the voting trend looked identical as it did last night. That is, throughout Saturday, the boys received the highest number of votes, 17, then the leading blog (2guys) received 11 votes, and the remaining blogs only 1 vote each. Consequently, the boys' share grew to 22%, while the amtr and gHtv blogs lost 1% each. But that was 30 minutes ago. Right now I am seeing 3 new votes cast for the st3 blog! Can you believe it? What are they up to now?




Update 3 p.m. CET/10 a.m. EST (the US switched to daylight saving time last night):
Sunday. The US East Coast is slowly waking up, while most of the West Coast is still sound asleep. Since this morning, 8 new votes appeared for the st3 blog (the first 3 are actually listed under yesterday's date on the above charts because I hadn't taken a screenshot of the results page when they still weren't there). All those votes were cast in a short period of time before noon. This seems to be an emerging pattern for that blog. Might the st3 guys be travelling from one internet café to another? LOL.

3 new votes for the boys, 1 for the leading blog (2guys), 0 for the others. In other words, voting is happening normally for everybody except the st3 people, who appear to continue their lobbying and/or generating extra votes for their blog.

P.S. I've just discovered that the announcement on when the voting will close states that March 20th will be Wednesday. Dang, every way I look at it, it seems it will be Friday! I checked the computer calendar. What's up with that?


I think it's a typo, and it should say Friday. If they plan to hand the prizes on the 26th, people will need more than one day they would have left since Wednesday March 25th to take time off work and book their flights..

OK, I've checked. They told people to book March 26th in SF back in mid-February. Obviously. They are actually giving themselves time to award points and calculate the blogs' scores, and voting will close on the 20th. Which is a Friday.
