all fine my end too!

I have been running the old program since this morning as i can not install the new program on my machine due to admin issues (work computer)

I haven't spotted the WA program yet either....but their numbers spiked last week, suggestive of the fact that they have a program running too

I don't understand what the monopoly website is doing...

One day you visit it and there is one percentage figure displayed, the next day you visit it and the percentage is lower than the previous day.

Now either the tallys are adjusted per capita, or they know that some states are using auto-voters and they remove that percentage component of the vote that is generated by the bots!

does anyone have any clues?

The reason why the percentage is lower is because some other state has had more votes therefore increasing their percentage. The total still equals 100%. It shouldn't have anything to do with per capita because it's a nation wide vote and people are allowed to vote more than once (although not the same day).

I know what was wrong with my side!

The voting won't work if you go to short link such as monopoly.com.au, the proper domain should be http://www.monopoly.com.au

Now we can't see the live results. Not until the end period which is 5 days time.

Sounds like the results won't be available until June when the boardgame is released.

even though the results aren't showing... phx from valhalla's reported it's pretty tight at the moment between WA and SA. So get voting people!

Here's the script again :

I just went to the site and the live stats came up as NaN (not a number) so I voted for Adelaide and then these were the new results:

By the way Howie, that link you posted this morning doesn't work anymore - I think they've caught onto our automatic bot voting

Okay, looks like it was just a glitch - working now - but I got a nice screenshot there!

Yeah, it's very very tight now, just heard on the radio earlier that SA is leading WA by only 3% now!
