...after examining the voting in the match between Patrick and myself, and seeing some unfamiliar names pop up in the voting, it appears there was 1 person who voted for me 4 times under different alias'. (And no, it wasn't Dozer ) It doesn't appear to be a regular user here, and I have no idea who this person really is. I guess maybe someone was testing to see if we really checked to see if multiple votes by the same person would be counted.
This is the only match I have found this to be the case for. All other votes appear to be legit. Someone is screwing with me.
Therefore, I must declare Patrick the winner of our duel. Those 4 votes will be subtracted from my total.
I also must declare that you people have no sense of humor! Thanks for all who voted for me.
Anyway, congrats Pat! It sucks, but you were the better player.
