Morning from Germany, thanks for monitoring - but I'm missing the exact downvoting numbers, sob.
1927-1938 were 12 downvotes
and the other numbers? Ah, well I'll just write the end result then as a mail.

Dear Kiya,
Please take care of yourself first and relax.
Most probably this whole funny poll shall be deleted.
Rating a game for quality and/or design is one thing and wanting it is another.
I shall fill you in with more details via PM.

Now that tothegames.com has seen data clearly indicating systematic down voting, I don't think we really need quite as much precision. A daily update, or so, should be fine; the web site has all the raw data. Unless we want to monitor for a change in pattern, it doesn't really matter exactly how any future spam down voting is done, just whether or not it happens.
So, Kiya and Rincewind, you can probably tone down your efforts and sleep/eat properly, take a walk, go to a movie, etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Hello Tomas,

here's the Riftrunner fan community again, sad to say, with further bad news. The unfair downvoting continued,

German time:
9.37 pm 1927-1938, 12 downvotes in 6 min, rating 6.28
9.56 pm 1941-1944, 4 downvotes in 2 min, rating 6.27

The rest was monitored differently by forum members:

6.28 of 10 based on 1947 votes. (3 votes more)
6.26 of 10 based on 1954 votes. (7 votes more)
6.26 of 10 based on 1956 votes. (2 votes more)
6.24 of 10 based on 1964 votes. (8 votes more)
6.23 of 10 based on 1968 votes. (4 votes more)
6.22 of 10 based on 1970 votes. (2 votes more)
6.21 of 10 based on 1975 votes. (5 votes more)

1. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time 7,01 - 3052 = 26 votes in toto
2. Speedball Arena 6,98 - 1385 = 6 votes
3. Armed & Dangerous 6,65 - 1653 = 6 votes
4. Half-Life 2 6,60 - 2105 = 10 votes
5. DOOM III 6,54 - 3945 = 8 votes
6. Beyond Good & Evil 6,42 - 1460 = 7 votes
7. Duality 6,42 - 1036 = 7 votes
8. Breed 6,41 - 573 = 6 votes
9. Strident 6,41 - 1013 = 13 votes
10. Riftrunner 6,22 - 1975 = 59 votes

As you can see, nothing has changed. Please, tell us if or what is going to be done by the site - or if your site has decided to leave it as it is. The attacks started after 9.37 pm and went on during the night. Even the toto amount shows that Riftrunner is the only game under constant attack.

A handful of members have decided to play fair and put in their regular votes again, because the day was very calm and I had hoped your site was able to detect where the attacks from and stopped them. We had boycotted votes from 16th Aug. on to have a clear picture and give your site the possibility to investigate.

About 10 votes were from our members, if I read our monitoring in our thread correctly. So the majority of votes from 1927-1975 on are very questionable. If your site decides to leave the conditions as they are with this spam alert, not helping those who vote fairly, but giving spam-downvoters a clear advance - then please, inform me. This situation is very unpleasant for our fan community and further procedure on our behalf depends dearly on the decision of your site.

Thank you and looking forward to an answer, yours sincerely,
Kiya

PS: A copy of this mail will be sent to the admin and manager, too

don't worry about me, I slept a few hrs and will be working now - looking forward to the horror movies my office has for me in store - the walks in fresh catacomb air to chuck out old books - eating unruly members <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> . As you see, another perfect day for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks all for monitoring and only laughing very secretly about my futile dream of fair play and diplomacy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Don't let the unfair voting get you down - after a good night's sleep even this is starting to become very humourous <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Have a wonderful day, all of you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

All in the spirit of fun, the game we choose.
The runner of the rift cannot lose.

I’ll sharpen my wizard and fire my cannons.
I’ll kill their dragons and hem my rift.
It shall for all of you be my gift. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

@Kiya,

but you need to REST.

You don't need to end up like this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

OUCH!!! I hate to say, but RR is off the list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
