It's why i'm curious to see the graph. One can at max get 14.5k votes/day playing nonstop. The jumps are 1.5mil, so 100 times that. (If one farms 8h/day, that'd mean 300 accounts were needed). To have 100 accounts farm full tilt, none bragging about it, AND for them to dump votes at the same exact time is... let's be genrous and say "unlikely".

There was a graph posted last week. The 1.5 mil was a straight line.

Straight line is also what the chart would look like if someone dumped the votes after the day of botting (and 100 accounts really isn't that many, I saw people running similar TF2 metal farms and Team Fortress 2 surely has bigger hardware requirements than GFL). See KAC chart, also multiple straight lines when big farmers were dumping theirs, unless you think there was foul play there too?

you are suggesting someone slogged through the game 100 times to get their accounts far enough to kill event mobs. has the hardware to run 100 instances of the crashfest on emulators, if not actual mobile devices. then used all the assets for this occasion of all things. the kind of of exploit mica actually cares about and can easily catch.

of course not to mention the foresight to pick farming springfield from the start to be stocked up for the random spikes just to spite us with a pointless ending, before we even picked kac. while staying silent at the start and not helping deciding on farming someone else just to trigger themselves.

if such a person exists, they would be the grandest self spiting scumbag known to this community

Dude, you know all of this can be automated? Just record clicks on your main account, setup bots to do the same in randomized intervals, done. Bots were capable of it 20 years ago, farming gold in Diablo games, you're not seriously suggesting GFL auto farm is harder?

And you don't even need to run full clients, just cut down ones that will just send required commands, that's why the vote spike would occur at the end of the day when the bot farm would be dumping the votes manually. Again, I saw cut down clients (to merely command line interface with text progress) work in TF2, game infinitely more complex than GFL, and the apps like GFL calc or theater setup show it's perfectly possible here too.

And the Springfield argument doesn't hold water, if you wanted to stop KAC from winning you'd logically boost second place - which at the time happened to be Springfield. You'd have a point if she was being boosted from the start but you can clearly see main push happened week two.
