Well really, destroying the game by using all the flags is easier than with restart, because you only need the vote to pass once, and you get other people's errant flags to help you sometimes.
There were other moderators doing it as well. I'm not defending what was going on, but nobody thought the reaction to what we considered "in good fun" was going to look like this.
@KevinStricker yeah. they even claim that they are not running their bots for winning the game but for defending restart bots. They have just 1 person restarting vs 9 bots
I'm surprised I haven't had one validated on me yet.

Assuming Anime are the only ones botting you and downvoting you is a little bit unfair to them, considering the number of negative responses you got on MSE from non-Anime users.
@Runer112 I know for a fact that our users aren't the only ones automating, because we have the same single vote for restart in the past 12 hours or so
Let me precede by thanking everyone from Arqade and PPCG for putting together the metagames which attracted attention to other sites and set up some spectacular drama that made everybody's time worthwhile.
FFS i'm staying up at 2am clicking buttons (instead of watching anime which I usually do at this time) and my night gets ruined by people from anime.se
I got crashed on three different sites before I was able to peacefully vote my way to an Internet on Sustainable Living. What's funny is that these people were honestly trying to help by voting for the lowest stat.
They want more BF over on CR, you just need to write it good, with reasonable comments. Golfing isn't allowed, because golfed code isn't optimal for production environments.
I think you've uncovered a conspiracy. Here's the theory: since 2008, Joel and Jeff have secretly been feeding nothing but good, positive questions into Stack Overflow users' question feeds. This went on for a couple of years, and everyone was happy.
Then, the Stack Exchange team did a switchero...
lol... no Rainbolt is the opposite... he picks your statements apart as literally as possible and refuses to acknowledge anything that was more or less obviously implied once the argument gets heated ;) (no offence, Rainbolt :))
The answer is counter intuitive. You would think the literal guy (me) would be easier. But in reality, when have any of you ever had a lengthy debate with Ismael?
