Update 1:20 p.m CET/7:20 a.m. EST:
The blog which dropped to number four is fighting! Right now they regained their share of 21% and have 183 votes, exactly as Scenic Boys do!
And another update 10 minutes later:
Oops! 10 minutes, 4 more votes and 22% share for the fighting blog? There's some mischief going on, folks! The boys now dropped back to number four! Seriously, mischief alert. The fighting blog received 16 votes within three hours. As you can see from the statistics recorded so far, this bends the voting trend right out of shape. So far, we have seen 2-5 votes cast per hour for all contesting blogs combined. There's either some serious lobbying going on on behalf of the endangered blog, or we are witnessing a mass automated voting the organizers predicted would occur.
2o minutes later:
It's getting better by the minute! 20 votes in less than 4 hours, all for the fighting blog, they now have 191 votes and 22% share. I have to leave for work now.. Boy, will I be dying to know what's on the results page throughout the evening :-)
P.S. By the time I edited the post, they're up to 193 - their votes keep coming. Guys, you better think of a strategy!
Update 11 p.m. CET/5 p.m. EST:
And the surprise votes keep coming! By now, over not even one day, the formerly endangered blog has received ca. 6 times the number of votes they used to receive when the voting trend looked more or less the same for all blogs. Its share of votes grew to 24% and the blog moved up to the second position. Right now the boys have 193 votes and 21% share, which places them at the fourth position.

Wow! It sounds so exciting when I read it. :) I just tried to check the stats and the page is down. I wonder is the fighting blog crashed the server with all mysterious votes...
D
I was so surprised by st3 action yesterday that I entered data in the wrong column of my spreadsheet and the statistics I was looking at were a bit higher than actual. But those were statistics I am not publishing, so I only had to fix one number in my yesterday's post (st3 number of votes per day was not 7,5 but 6 times higher than it used to be).
I re-checked everything this morning when I got used to the thought that you dropped back to no.4 :-) Unfortunately, the mysterious votes remain listed..
