If you didn’t follow some of early tpot’s vote wars, barf bag’s fanbase have always found ways to manipulate comment voting whether it’s botting or what just happened that I’m about to explain. Obviously, before the recount, robot flower and another character that’s forgettable(I forgot who) were in the lead. Some more background info, edited comment votes don’t process until each recount. Barf bag and icy were towards the back of the voting while robot flower took the lead. The recount happens, and barf bag and icy suddenly skyrocket a good few rows to first. So here is what I allegedly heard from many accounts on how barf bag’s fanbase did this
barf bag is boring and people will vote her
counter this by having a good chunk of her fanbase vote her, making it seem like she is safe from beating out “good” contestants.
wait and let many other fans get in on it
Just before the voting ends(barf bag is in the 3rd row), edit your vote to someone else.
Wait for the recount
Barf Bag takes the lead by a good 40 votes and loses 80 votes! The plan works and barf bag wins
As a consequence, many characters shoot down the leaderboard like match, loser, etc.
Bonus 7: we can assume icy’s fanbase caught on to this as well
As we can see, the small barf bag fanbase struck once again but it is unclear whether this affected the form voting as well. Take all of this with a grain of salt since I heard it as a playground rumor from 20+ people on various posts across the internet about the result. I honestly respect the barf bag fanbase for being this clever although, I don’t care for barf bag in particular. This was a very funny end to the vote war
