This person has been putting in his dirty dirty lies!

Yeah, that's what I meant.
You can even see how they altered correct answers into wrong answers from the quiz.
Talk about low, eh?
Now I wonder who 76.191.168.91 is...?

Wow, I loved that quiz. Since I think I got all the correct answers. (probably not since I checked incorrect Wikis) Thanks to all the video game podcasts I've listened to for the past 2 years. XD

Also... some idiot is trying to get the answers by posting the questions on yahoo answers.

Should have made it harder questions... =/

Wow, what an asshole. Seriously, what a dickhead!

WTF? I'm glad I used other sources..

Now seriously, this person should be disqualified and banned

I believe the admins have ways to find the user name of the person who uses that IP.

I'm 76.191.168.91, and I suggest you remove the link you posted to several answers. Why are you using a wiki for all of your answers, anyway? Also, editing a web page is not against the rules of this competition. If the admins would like to make it one that's fine, but I think people should be more creative than using wiki's for every answer

It was a hard one, but I hope I'll win, last time I won in my life, was when there was a drawing competition in the supermarket:P I won a keychain!

And I kinda lol'd about the fact that someone was changing the wiki pages. xD

I shouldn't have posted the wiki page, sorry.
But seriously, you were trying to rig the contest, I hardly think it's a problem to research your answers.
I was able to answer a great deal of the questions myself, I didn't use wikipedia for a good deal of my answers either.

Even so, it's damn low!
Now I did all my answers before the edits, but still... It's just not good sportsmanship!

I've suspended Warm Woolly Sheep for 10 days. We'll decide what to do with him after that. What he did was very low and it goes without saying in the rules: 'Thou shalt not try and rig the contest'

Editing an other web site with false information for a contest is considered a raid.

Wow, that IS low.

But, I especially like the judging rule of: Staff's decision is absolutely final.

They will bring justice, tasty justice.

i took a look at the quiz ans about 6 of them seem really hard. Anyway im going to probably take it tomorrow, but i doubt im going to win.

Edit:Warm Woolly Sheep changed the right answers in the wiki to the wrong answers.
