Lots of talk in that vote about wives and suspicious activity.  Turns out the conspiracy theorists were correct.

You battered Trend in the final by the looks of it.  Must've ran out of wives.

Man, I hadn't even read the thread yet. It's mad reading it back now. The balls on Trend to keep chatting shit all the while knowing he'd manipulated the vote. Funny seeing him try to duck out of the penalty shoot-out too. Guessing guilt got the better of him.

28 votes in that semi-final. The next draft we did got 17 votes in the semi as was normal around then.

That was one of the most inevitable draft results there's ever been. Trend should have asked people to vote against him to save the thrashing. I mean, look at Nick's attack -

Oh man, this is insane! I kind of never really believed it despite all the wife jokes and the odd voting at times. This explain A LOT.

Judging by the dates, the draft match in question is this one -

10 cap split semi-final

https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=348645.0

Looks like Trend got the vote he needed to level it (you have to assume he PMed multiple RAWKites) and then won on a penalty shoot-out. He then lost the final. But still, he should never have got there in the first place.

Also interesting that the other semi which was running the exact same time as this one had 7 less votes in it. So were all those extra voters put-ups by Trend? This has mad reprecussions. How many other draft results were skewed around that time.
I always had a good nose for fishy situations, as this thread attests.

If any of you suspect your wife of foul play, and you want me look into it, I accept credit cards, PayPal, and crypto as payment.

Well, this makes sense. Now what about all the other drafts?
