bobbyake Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 I went ahead and created a picture of myself holding a sign for Zippy, whatever it's worth, I hope it helps. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Posted September 12, 2014 As best as I can tell, nobody is is actually voting for Joe Bruin on social media. It's a mystery to me that this contest is as close as it is.If you're going to the soccer game tonight, there might be an opportunity for Zippy signs. If we get a couple dozen people that do that, we can blow this thing open. Quote

If we get a couple dozen people that do that, we can blow this thing open.Unless they're voting straight votes...and we're staying in it by the very fact that we are doing the 50-100 point challenges. I find that disturbing if that were the case. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Posted September 12, 2014 It would mean that they have 20 times more people voting for them. Vote bots don't work since voting is tied to a Facebook account. Quote

Balsy Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Then again, i do see a fair amount of Twitter chatter. They don't seem to be posting as many correct sign photos as we are though...perhaps that's our advantage Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Posted September 14, 2014 Joe Bruin is making a last-minute push. Vote! Quote
Balsy Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 I am sending in my photos!Zippy BACK ON TOP (before I start sending them in) Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Posted September 14, 2014 I read through the rules. They are moderating the Facebook posts and Tweets. Only the ones that actually follow the challenge are getting counted. Just spamming the hashtag or saying something like "You need to vote" with it will not get counted towards the vote totals. Quote
Balsy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Exactly which is why all you need to do is add "is what my sign would say" after. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Posted September 15, 2014 They also disqualify anything that badmouths the competition. Quote
K92 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Zach, where are you getting these rules from? Quote

K92 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks for the link, Zach. Everyone needs to read the rules. Judging from my Facebook news feed, we had a lot of participation that counted for nothing. Joe Bruin is now in 1st place. That would be Zippy had she won because she was ahead of Joe before this round started. Quote
Balsy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Focus folks. Retool and get ready to beat Buster Bronco. Quote
Balsy Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 Alright folks, don't fall asleep now. Zippy's still 3-1 and we're narrowly losing to That dumb SEC team that our basketball team lost to TWICE last year! Exact our revenge, and beat them now! Quote
zipsrule Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Zippy is up 51 to 49. Let's make a strong push this evening! Quote
Balsy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Alright folks. This was an awfully quite thread this past week. Zippy Won last week and is sitting at 4-2. Though initially wins are important here, there will be a tournament style where our voting will become that much more important. Keep up the pressure Zips fans!I wonder if we should try sabotaging a few of those above us if we're able to get a big enough lead? Quote
Balsy Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Zippy ahead of Iowa State's mascot: 91-9. Make sure to keep up the pressure folks. We need to make sure Zippy gets to the top 8. Top 8 will move on to an elimination style tournament, and that's when our participation is even more important. Quote
Balsy Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Alright everyone. Make sure to keep up the pressure, Zippy is in 4th place with a 6-2 record. This we she's facing Minnesota's Goldy the Gopher. We're currently up 92%...We need to keep the wins coming so she can get a good seed in the final tournament.Crunch time will be if we have to face Auburn's Aubie (who we have yet to face week-to-week), UCLA's Joe Bruin or South Carolina's Cocky (both of which beat us).We need to pull out all the stops next week because Zippy faces State Ohio University's Mascot. Week 11 though is huge (two weeks from now) because we face that Auburn mascot.C'mon Zips nation, lets make the repeat happen! Quote
K92 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 92-8 stomping as of now.https://capitalonemascots.com/matchups Quote
Balsy Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Zips fans should shift gears and start voting for Wilma T. Wildcat, try to get him a loss Quote
