ESPN Tradition Battle

[Atbone95]

Man ESPN is deleting alot of the comments. Someone even posted how to do a bot and it was taken off within a minute.

Yeah I copied it before they deleted it, he posted it multiple times.

Modified for Nebraska of course. Save it as a .vbs file in windows and click it. I'm not certain it will work though, but it won't harm your computer. You won't be able to see it running, it'll just pop up alert windows at you.

xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false

next

Click what? I'm not anywhere close to a programmer, but I'm taking some interest in helping Nebraska out here.

I don't think that it is a real Bot and if it is, I believe it would be for Michigan.

Well I didn't paste it here as he had written it, I modified it so votes would go in the Nebraska pile. Assuming it works, which I have no clue about and would have no way to test unless there was a fresh espn poll to fire it at.

You would create a new text file, copy that code into it, save it, then rename it to whatever.vbs (instead of whatever.txt, so you'd have to be able to see filename extensions) and then you could just doubleclick it to start it.

You won't be able see anything running, but you would see wscript.exe in task manager's processes tab. Which is how you would have to stop it if you wanted too (well that or rebooting).

If you are not comfortable with any of that, don't worry about it, we have plenty of votes going in right now as is.

Michigan is catching up and our lead is down to 10%.

 

[husker_hurdler]

there's no way that the general consensus of college football fans think touching a freaking horse shoe vs running under a blue banner is a cool enough topic to vote on over 1 mil times!!!! let's be real here ESPN all of the other polls up to this point combined haven't generated than many votes. obviously something shady is going on. so lets go ahead and banish nebraska and bring back anyone that they beat!!!!! Go Noles!!!

pretty funny comment from the ND/FSU thread

 

[redblooded]

Lead down to 6%...

Watch this.

I think i just got it running, so would you just increase the "10000" to make it go faster since we're losing?

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Does that say over 3 million votes? :corndance

 

[okaive]

Damn they are catching quick. An hour ago it was 2.7m and we were up at 57%

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

For comparison purposes, the ND/FSU vote has just over 130K votes :LOLtartar

That code doesn't work, and I wouldn't bother.

FSU has a bot too, they just haven't ran it much. Yesterday when I was working on making mine better (but I am not about to distribute it like Michigan apparently did). I was testing on the ND/FSU poll a bit with it, just to the point where there was noticeable movement if it worked, FSU pumped about 30000 votes into their poll in a hour to counter it.

 

[Haspula]

Lets see your bot

 

[okaive]

Damn, we are losing big. 58/42/ hahaha

 

[Hercules]

The michigan bots are working fast. We're losing a percentage point every 10 minutes.

 

[redblooded]

Lets see your bot

The one we started the week off with is a bloated mess of a perl script in the woodshed. The one we finished the week off with, no, no one will be getting that, its bad (or worse) hacked together code and I'm not done with it yet.

They are going to be increasing the lead, I stopped. There is nothing short of distributing it left to do to keep up on my end and there's probably like 2 husker Linux users besides myself who could actually run the thing...
