Obviously you guys can enter yourselves as well but it would be awesome if you guys could help me a bit. Marshall Music CT are having a competition to win a Tanglewood acoustic and Gator bag. Simply post a comment and get as many people to like your comment. I've already gained a nice share of "Likes" but another commenter is always managing to keep a bit ahead of me. Please "Like" my comment (Gavin Wiener, 2nd from the top) on this picture and help me win a nice guitar to replace my busted up one. You don't have to like the page/share/etc, simply the once-off "Like" on my comment and you're sorted. P.S. If you are also keen to enter the "ring", let me know which is your comment and we can do a trade of sorts! Edit: Left out my name, now in bold! ------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: Added forwarding message "Please "Like" my friend Gavin Wiener's comment (2nd from the top) on this picture and help him win a guitar to replace his current one which is in very poor condition. You don't have to like the page/share/etc, simply the once-off "Like" on the comment and you're sorted. Thanks P.S. Forwarding this message along to a handful of friends would help massively, pyramid it up!"

@Alan, this is becoming like a war! That is a really good idea but I see there is also a guy shooting up from 0 - 60 in 2 days and I'm scared if the other guy doesn't back down, he might get a 50 vote lead and then I might struggle quite a bit to rally votes with a few days left.

Alan Ratcliffe wrote You should maybe get 10 - 20 votes from friends and hold them in reserve, just in case your rival runs ahead of you towards the end. Let him think he's winning and you are tapped out and he'll relax, then get everyone to vote on the last day and he won't have time to respond. ?

Sneaky. ?

I'd rather say "strategic:" ?

Until the 29th? Goodness, you have a lot of work ahead of you. I can probably get 2-3 votes put aside for the last day "push" ...maybe a couple of other guys can do the same?

Im expecting a NGD thread soon after the comp ends ?

An everone who 'liked' is allowed around for a beer and a spin on the instrument they helped win

What if we introduced him to his girlfriend?

Then he might gget a bit jealous ?

@Sean, I am definitely willing to give the "hail mary" idea a spin. I am only a bit worried because I've used up all my friends votes it seems, it's now friends of friends of friends.

@Giggsy, I think that could end up costing more than the worth of the guitar ?

I have been speaking to the guy (Stefan) and he claims he is running out of contacts, could obviously be a ploy though.

Still, it's a small price to pay for all the friendships you've gained ?

21Fretter

We seem to be neck and neck pretty much. I am starting to quite like Alan's idea of storing up our votes and unloading near the end. Would require some work from you guys though. I've found that I gain the greatest vote jumps when I quite literally inbox message my entire friends list. I prefer inboxing because it won't get buried in the news-feed. Would we be able to co-ordinate such a thing?

Mannemarak

You could always create alternate email adresses and then alternate facebook accounts...but then you must REALLY want that guitar ?

All the best!

21Fretter

@Mannemarak, that might not be the worst idea at this point! (nah, that is pretty crazy).

We are leading, woop. The initial crazy inflow in votes has definitely slowed down considerably. My nearest opponent has only gained 3 - 4 new "Likes" in the 3 days it looks like, meaning every vote counts at this point. I am still liking to stock-piling plan but try get a few more "likes" from friends and family if you can to simply keep the momentum and keep the lead.

When's the cut off?

21Fretter wrote Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Ends 29th May :O Going to be a long one but fortunately "Likes" are a once-off unlike some other comps where you can vote every day, requires minimum effort, which I think leads to a lot more people willing to get involved.

Hump de bump

P.S. What are the bumping rules like on GFSA? I obviously don't want to be technically spamming.

21Fretter

This is it, final 6 days. Still have a solid +-25 vote lead but the nearest competitor's votes have been eerily quiet in the last few days, there could be a last minute "vote attack" in the works.

This should hopefully be my last post until after the competition, if you've managed to rally some friends, get those votes in if you can over the next few days and take this competition down!

Thanks for all help guys and girls!

singemonkey

Will try to rustle up some support today. I think a competition by popularity sucks (you have no friends, that's sad. Hey! More bad news. Now you can't win competitions either!). So I feel a win for 21fretter is a win for GFSA. They want comps like that, we'll game 'em.

Psean

Done. Vote 249

Vote rigging at it's finest... done!
