I already have a Zen altar in my house and it's stacked with Guinness.        

Down 1.90 with 10 days to go.....we're gettin' there.

< 1% behind now... have to keep the pressure on.

Slainte, you can keep the altar, I will take the Guinness.

Oops... It appears that my account has been blocked.
Now why would they do that?

Tell the truth Slainte, you'll drink his and mine, LOL.

Why is your account blocked? What did you do?

Welcome to the club ZEN!

These fine upstanding folks blocked mine also. I have another one. My vote yesterday counted. Last week I did a test from two different computers and IP addresses. The vote for IL budged the tally by nothing. The vote for a different site moved it a full percentage point. So I still call bullshit.
Still voting and my cats don't want a pony. /////////8888888888888888888
That last bit was the kitten agreeing with no pony ;)
I guess the complaints made them undo whatever they did and now they are blocking.

My "other account" (the wifes) has also now been blocked.
I guess that we were getting too close to leading again.

Will they stop at nothing to deny us our ponies?

Got blocked also tonight. They are really sore losers.

OK, new plan...
We let TOB win, and when they are not looking we rustle the ponies away.
Wait.. these are imaginary ponies.
Anyone know how to rustle imaginary ponies?

Serve them / then diversion......grab your horse!

What does "blocked" look like? Do they tell you that you are blocked, deny access or what?

The infidels do not believe in the ponies so they will never get them.
I hope it will not come to this, but, if need be, the ponies will come to us because they rightfully are ours. They are the ponies of the true believers, and we are the true believers.
Pass the tequila and keep on believing.

Lady O, I can prove the vote is tainted!   Since this poll started, Jeremy and Debbie sign in, and they can't vote, says thank you for participating....blah blah!.....I had already posted..

Jaysus  Jim.....I hope gringal doesn't read your post as I'm trying to redeem my reputation.  

Just tried to vote and it said I had already voted today, even  tho' we are only 2 minutes into the day.  Maybe they are on mountain time.

Dave, Gringal saved my ass many times. She even sent me the 1st breathalyzer / keyboard made. I don't need that anymore, thanks to her!

The "poll takers" can block your vote, thereby controlling who gets to vote and who does not.
Kinda like most elections in Chicago.

Zen, I said it earlier......I can prove the cheating from my computer.

1. My son Jeremy, Debbie, Me tried to vote yesterday. My vote went thru. Theirs were denied.

I forgot to mention they are members of board.

You can only have one vote per IP address per day. If they are at your place then it is all under the same IP address. To get rid of the "IP maskers" they have made people sign up so now it is a combination of the IP address and the sign in name.

We are only 0.71 points behind.  Let us all bow to the great Zenwoodle and pray to the Virgin Gringal for success.

You are right Bob. The security key is a combination of your log in and your IP address. I discovered that yesterday. However after you log in you can change your IP address using Hola and it still lets you vote. You can then vote from as many countries as you want without having to re sign in. Until they wake up and block you. It amazing that they seem to have administrators monitoring the poll continuously.

Do we know when this poll ends? I'm loving the group euphoria but I'm really ready for the ascension.

This was posted on FB this morning

"Best of Lake Chapala
UPDATE: It appears that requiring a member login has eliminated most individuals who had found a way to exploit the system. However, today several Best of Lake Chapala members were linked (with documentation) to irregular voting activity. For this reason, we have had no choice but to block access for these members. If you feel your membership has been blocked in error, please contact us.
Also, be aware that in trying to maintain credibility, integrity and objectivity, we are scrutinizing all site activity very closely. For example, it is pretty fishy when, in a 30-minute period, only ONE potential voter is online and the tally for a single finalist jumps up 15 votes. We allow one vote per household daily and ask that you honor that.
We realize there will always be hackers, bots, and IP blockers out there, but this poll was designed to be a fair and honest salute to the outstanding business people in our community. They deserve that! Please do not allow a few individuals, who are afraid their favorite finalists cannot stand on their own merits, to jeopardize this poll for everyone."


So, some accounts have been blocked. Please contact the administrators if you feel it was done in error.
These are the best people I know, seriously. They are not trying to scam you.
