Anizone Best Moe 2011: First Two Rounds REPLAYED!


From Maglor of Anizone...

"There recently has been string of surprise upsets accompanied by sudden increase of total number of votes by about three hundred. Even more troubling is the fact that the total vote count usually go down by the same three hundred in the following matches. Foul play and illegitimate voting was suspected, but without hard evidence, the Best Moe Tournament Staff decided not to change the results based only on suspicion. If these questionable votes were from action of few people trying ballot stuffing from same IP range or from abuse of 3G network,  theses should be blocked by the extended vote wait time and uncovered by the ip address check. Despite taking various countermeasures, the problematic votes could not be blocked nor filtered out, and initially, the systematic limitations made it not even possible to discern which of the votes should be questioned.

As more upsets occurred, we have accumulated enough evidence to discern general trend of these questionable votes and confirmed beyond reasonable doubt, that there is someone orchestrating a massive block voting with intent to manipulate the results to their liking. Furthermore, we have reasons to believe that their intent to be malicious, seeking to ridicule the participants of Best Moe and causing as much anguish among the supporter of popular characters as possible.

It should be noted that Japanese Saimoe, the inspiration for the Best Moe Tournament, is being ravaged by anti-Moe-tournament factions. These factions repeatedly attempt to defeat the strong, or in other word, characters with large number of supporters, deriving satisfaction from the sufferings of the normal voters and disruption of normal tournament progress. The voting pattern of Best Moe tournament’s mysterious voting group, likely to be a single person or a very small number of people, has much in common with voting patterns of Japanese Saimoe’s anti-Moe-Tournament factions.Although we now know what to look for, we felt that the these votes may already have accomplished most of what it set out to do, thus not addressing the questionable upset is more like giving into the demand of these 'terrorists.'

Please understand that we believe it to be not proper to declare a vote illegitimate without hard evidence. It was this lack of the ‘smoking gun’ which prevented us from voiding the votes in question. As tournament progressed, however, these suspicious behaviors have not stopped, and we have reached a point where we feel it is imperative that drastic steps be taken to restore the integrity of the Best Moe Tournament.  Therefore, the following steps will be taken.

 The current 2011 Best Moe Tournament Otaku Division matches will immediately stop.
 A new Moe Tournament will start with top 96 from the current Best Moe Otaku Division.
All voters will now need Anizone.net Member ID in order to vote.

With additional information supplied by Anizone.net registration, we hope to stop these malicious votes intending to create havoc in the tournament . We regret the fact this means that we have to give up the principle of allowing non-member votes in Best Moe Tournament, but we felt this is the best way to restore the credibility of Best Moe Tournament. We apologize for whatever inconvenience this may bring, and hope you continue to participate in Best Moe Tournament.
