I consider myself in first place because the person that's in first place at the moment is so obviously a cheater. No one is going to get 60 votes within a 5 minute span unless they're cheating, especially if they've already gotten over 100 votes. What's more, the design SUCKS. This is what I'm talking about. Within about 5 minutes it went from about 137 to 200. Did I do anything about it? Oh yes, because this has been bothering me since yesterday afternoon, when it only had 48 votes (first time I saw it).
So what did I do? I called TI. Oh yes, and they were quite nice about it too. To sum it up, I'll just quote #tcpa from when I came back from the call:

So I waited for a few hours, didn't get a call. I should probably stay off the internet a bit more often though just in case, although I did give them my email, so they might use the email incase they can't get through. Hum.[01:04:31pm] * Rejoined channel #tcpa

[01:04:38pm] <@efneTI86> [DarkAuron] We called it Sin.
[01:04:38pm] <DarkAuron>
[01:04:42pm] <DarkAuron> ti DOES care
[01:05:07pm] <DarkAuron> holy
[01:05:11pm] <DarkAuron> 205 votes
[01:05:14pm] <DarkAuron> yeah..... that guy is cheating for sure
[01:05:19pm] <DarkAuron> I told them the whole thing
[01:05:29pm] <+_AnyKey_> what'd they say?
[01:05:36pm] <DarkAuron> and apparently I'll be able to talk with the head of the entire graphiTI contest O-o
[01:05:44pm] <+_AnyKey_> duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...
[01:05:56pm] <+_AnyKey_> that's good!
[01:06:01pm] <DarkAuron> well I called TI CARES and told the guy the stuff, so he checked it out (and commented on how cool mine looked)
[01:06:05pm] <+_AnyKey_> that guy HAS to be cheating
[01:06:17pm] <+_AnyKey_>
[01:06:19pm] <DarkAuron> and he transferred me to the graphiTI department (or something thereof)
[01:06:26pm] <DarkAuron> and I apparently have a Case #
[01:06:32pm] <+_AnyKey_> nice
[01:06:37pm] <DarkAuron> so like.. yeah
[01:06:49pm] <DarkAuron> I'll be getting an email and a phonecall from the head of the entire contest x.x
[01:07:04pm] <DarkAuron> asked me what the rate of that guy's votes are
[01:07:18pm] <DarkAuron> and I said sometimes it doesn't get any votes at all and other times it gets about 40-50 votes within minutes
[01:07:39pm] <DarkAuron> and I acted pretty innocently, saying I'm concerned that he may be using an automated system to get free votes
[01:07:57pm] <+_AnyKey_> way to go DA!
[01:08:02pm] * _AnyKey_ does a dance
[01:08:04pm] <+_AnyKey_> \o/
[01:08:05pm] <DarkAuron> then he asked about mine and I said I was getting steady votes, here and there, and I know most of the people that have been voting for me
[01:08:15pm] <DarkAuron> so yes, I worked this out quite well
[01:08:22pm] <+_AnyKey_> you shure did
[01:08:27pm] <DarkAuron> I should be getting a call though
[01:08:31pm] <DarkAuron> so I probably need to get off the internet

I've all but lost all hope on winning the grand prize because from the looks of it, a few certain people are more than obviously cheating and rocketing ahead of *everyone*, but TI doesn't seem to really care. So in my last attempt of this contest, I've started a petition that you can sign.
I have not cheated, I have no desire to, and I have a pure heart of winning this, but if I lose against a bunch of cheaters, I will be emotionally destroyed. They do say the good guys always win though, so.. I'll just hope for a bit longer. No telling what the next 2 1/2 months will hold for me.
