Phil recently announced that the long-awaited Vote Tab is now finally reformatted to show how the different users voted in each debate, which many users hope will essentially eliminate (or at least diminish) vote-bombing. This has also revealed to the members of DDO the numerous vote-bombers that already existed.

Frodobaggins first started a thread to idenfity “friends” who voted together, to avoid debating them.

However, as Volkov predicted, mongeese used this opportunity to identify the vote-bombers that he suspected to exist for so long. Mongeese had originially planned to use what he found to prove himself innocent to theLwerd’s accusations in November. He and mongoose concluded that JBlake, comoncents, and SaintNick had all vote-bombed them about 2 months ago, with the theLwerd banning controversy. Mongoose even set up a photo album to incriminate the vote-bombers.

However, the most surprising discovery was made by mongoose, mongeese, TheSkeptic, and MistahKurtz was the voting habits of Vi_Veri and her wife theLwerd, who currently tops the leaderboard. Mongeese cited numerous debates in which both Vi_Veri and theLwerd 7-bombed him (this being perhaps the most extreme example), including some debates in which theLwerd also voted with Lwerd, her puppet account. Why her puppet account’s indentity was even verified to allow for voting is beyond mongeese.

 Mongoose and mongeese were rather upset by the apparent vote-bombing after theLwerd had falsely accused the Geese brothers of having vote-bombed her back in November. (Currently, nobody has taken up mongeese’s offer to investigate the accusation.)

Other debaters, however, were more wary, with some users calling their actions overly ridiculous, including a call to impeach theLwerd from the DDO Hall of Fame. Numerous threads were created about the previous threads, leading mongeese to fear over-cluttering in the forums. Some debaters wished the Vote Tabs not to have been revealed due to the controversy that inevitably followed.

Since the discovery, Vi_Veri posted one comment on one debate. Other than that, neither Vi nor L have made any comment about the current issue.

comoncents apologized for his own vote-bombing, and JBlake claimed to justify it through the banning controversy. Both agreed to neutralize their vote-bombs. SaintNick has yet to comment.

In happier news, mongeese commemorated Kleptin for his votes that were biased against himself, and the Democrat supermajority in Congress was eliminated with the election of Scott Brown.

Hopefully, the issue will be resolved in the near future when theLwerd and Vi_Veri explain their actions.

UPDATE: Vi_Veri has been on, posting numerous comments concerning the rap battle tournament, but nothing relating to the issue. TheLwerd has not been on. Mongoose theorized that theLwerd may have fallen off the face of DDO, but Vi claimed that it was because her own laptop broke, and she had to use L’s.

UPDATE 2: The Lwerd has been on and posted the following comment concerning the issue on mongeese’s profile: “The Lwerd responded by saying: “First of all, not that it’s any of your business but Vi and I have to share a computer now so I’ll be on a lot less considering she actually needs it a lot more (for school) whereas I don’t. So, while your conspiracy theories about why I haven’t been on are full of lol and entertain me to no end, it’s simply not true.

Second, the only reason I ‘vote bombed’ was in retaliation. I used deductive reasoning to figure out who I thought v-bombed me (LM and you) time and time again based on who I thought I pissed off or whatever — It seems I was 100% right about you and some others before your pussycatted out and changed your votes hehe but thank you, I appreciate it! Better late than never I always say.

Anyway I was never part of The Cleaners and I have always accepted and spoke out about how v-bombing was a natural part of this site. Hopefully not anymore! But as you know, I have been bombed over and over and over again and it means little to me so you can take any type of “punishment” you want for me (LOLOLOLOL) and suck it. You mean nothing to me. Your accusations mean nothing to me. Your judgment means nothing to me. Have a nice day!

Ps. I find your obsession with the matter more than slightly disturbing and chalk it up to you being 15 and living in Texas lulz”

UPDATE 3: Logical-Master called theLwerd out on her lack of evidence, citing the fact that votes are generally timestamped, so any changed votes would be noticed. TheLwerd claimed that she and Vi_Veri could testify to a mysterious change in her win record (but as we all know, testimony requires integrity to be believed), but she didn’t cite any debates in which votes were recently changed.

Users mostly became upset over theLwerd’s debate with leet4A1, in which theLwerd claimed to have voted for leet4A1, with leet complimenting her on her integrity, while she had actually given herself all seven points. TheLwerd has yet to justify this deception.
