Ok so i suppose most of you know that the king (Rick Astley) has been nominated for a European Music Award, the Best Act Ever. In the Terms of Service you may vote as much as you would like, they encourage it. So some people took this a little (read: lot) more seriously and without a doubt rick will win, and not by a little. I have when writing this voted about 120,000 times with a modified python script that I’ve been running for about 16 hours. (Image and link below.)

What this script does is basically send one vote for each loop it does. Because there’s a lot of strain on the server and it can’t handle a huge amount of votes at the same time you do get a pretty high failure rate, mine is around 45% but it sends really fast.

If you’d like to run it yourself, the source code can be found here and the file here. To run this on windows you need to download python from here install, double click the .py and press F5 to run it.

This might be silly, but think of the lulz. Log in to see images!
