Hello SF:
Long time no see. How have you been? How's the wife and kids? Good to hear it. It's been to long.
Here is my sitation. I hope you will be able to help me out.
I am entering an online songwriting contest that is not songfight. The lyrics for my song are going to be about how I totally need you to vote for my song, and list suggested ways for you to vote for my song multiple times. I have no idea why I assumed that the voting structure for this Other Contest would be the same as the one at songfight, but I did. BIG MISTAKE. I finished writing my song last night, and currently it contains inaccurate lyrics that suggest that listeners could vote for my song multiple times by either 1) going to multiple computers or 2) using proxies.
The voting structure for the Other Contest requires to register online by providing an email, and then clicking on a link in said email to activate their account. What ways can you come up with for hacking the votes for a contest such as this? I already have "register a second account". Is there something more hackery that might be done to game such a contest? Note: I am NOT actually looking to hack this contest. I am hoping to win honestly by singing about being dishonest.
Thank you kindly for your time. Let's get a beer sometime, songfight.
---Erik

Break into your love interest's house and vote on their computer. Not only do you get a vote, you also get to show your love interest how into them you are by turning up in their house!

I wouldn't vote for a song that references the competition it is being written for. That is pretty dumb.
