Title: I have a problem with this... Post by: - on November 15, 2010, 07:37:11 PM ...A big &*(#ing problem.
This is unacceptable that whoblitzell was allowed to submit this map after the election. This map needs to be removed. Once maps are scored, his is almost assuradley going to be #1. As someone who had a good shot at getting #1 (every state correct), I submitted my map before the election, not after. I did my prediction fairly. He didn't. Remove this map! https://uselectionatlas.org/PRED/SENATE/2010/pred.php?id=4578&action=indpred Title: Re: I have a problem with this... Post by: Miles on November 15, 2010, 07:46:04 PM I second that.
Everyone else had to make educated (or in some cases, not-so educated!) predictions. Its only fair that whoblitzell's map be thrown out. Title: Re: I have a problem with this...

Not that much will come of your request, Dave isn't the most active administrator (with good reason, I like the maps he provides us).

Title: Re: I have a problem with this... Post by: - on November 16, 2010, 07:55:00 AM How the hell did he do ? ??? He did pretty %^&# well. If everything goes as it's looking like it will in AK, he'll have 100% accuracy, or very close to it. Title: Re: I have a problem with this...

If everything goes as it's looking like it will in AK, he'll have 100% accuracy, or very close to it. The point is that he cheated. So either there was a bug on the Altas that allowed him to update his prediction, or he managed to hack the site. Title: Re: I have a problem with this...

So either there was a bug on the Altas that allowed him to update his prediction, or he managed to hack the site. My suspcion is that he opened up the selection menu before the election, and hit "generate maps" after the election after he had finished selecting numbers/states from the vote totals. |
