There's zero proof of people using bots, it's more likely that Riverstar fans are putting in more effort into getting votes for him, which is how polls work in real life For the poll, you don't have to log in to vote multiple times, and it's been proven by other users that you can just use a vpn, or go into incognito mode. In the past, polls avoided this by making it required to log in, and use your account to vote, which should have been the case for this as well, but obviously that didn't happen. Because of that it makes it incredibly easy to just bot votes.

I just took a look around if any Warriors based content creators were telling their fans to vote for Riverstar and so far have only seen a video by Sunnyfall on Youtube about it (there could be more though). Other than that, Bright Guardian Akira has made a Twitter thread regarding the possibility of an increased number of bots voting for Riverstar on which Sunnyfall has also commented on (BGA voted for Ivypool).
My own opinion is still that I would love a Riverstar Super Edition (and have voted for him) but also wouldn't mind an Ivypool SE if it involves a new storyline (her becoming deputy or leader for example).

Is it the one where they were planning to spam Ivy in response to people suspecting River being spammed or is this someone else? Edit: I was right we saw the same screen cap BUT I misunderstood it because I only read the first tweet and not the replies. They were rigging it for Riverstar not Ivypool

The fact that people are defending that behavior in the tags as well is gross... Imagine if Mistystar was getting botted in the poll and she had 87% lead. I wonder what they would have been saying then. The fact that people go so far as to cheat on this poll for a children's book series is ridiculous.

I hope somebody rigs it now so Mistystar wins just so all these assholes can get a taste of their own medicine and at this point never get their Riverstar SE. I hate people like this. Literally more childish than the actual children who read this series.

Honestly, the fact that Ivypool could have won but likely won't because some people are spamming votes makes me really sad. I voted for Riverstar once and that's it. I wouldn't mind an Ivypool book. I don't get why people would do something like that just to get a book about a particular character. It scares me honestly that some people are immature enough to do this and that this entire discord chat of hundred people saw nothing wrong with it.

It's not even that Riverstar beating Ivypool isn't impossible, but because of statistics, the results of the poll are obviously tampered, especially when this was only on the second day of the poll.

Perhaps someone should notify the website about it and tell them to use the ip adress in order to keep track of who has already voted (I got an account on there). By the way, today (26th of September 2021) happens to be election day here in Germany so this is an interesting development to keep watch on as well for me.
Edit: Or even tell them to reset the poll and then make sure anyone who votes has to be logged in and can only do so once as that would only be fair.

Unfortunately, some people use VPNs, so I'm not sure if your first idea will work, the second idea sounds good though. I hope election day in your country works out in your favor, and I'm also sorry to read that you're sick and had to miss your vacation, I hope you will feel better soon and get another shot asap!

I tend to stay out of politics, because the way I see it, no matter who wins, not much will change on a large enough scale to really matter much.

I just sent a message via Contact us on the Official Warriors website. Hello there,
I'm here to ask if it would be possible for those who are in charge of the polls to reset the most recent one as it has been rigged.
Multiple people on Twitter or elsewhere are bragging about how they can easily vote for Riverstar multiple times because there is no ip detection, they are using a vpn or even bots.
Some of them have also asked people who are not even part of the community or not reading the books to go and vote for Riverstar.
I was logged in while voting for him and have only done so once. It just doesn't seem fair or fun anymore when there is such a level of spam voting involved.
Please reset the votes on the poll about who might get Super Edition 15 and make sure that everyone is only allowed to vote one time.
Apologies if my English has some spelling or grammar issues as it is not my first language.
Thank you and have a good day. Not sure if I did this right or it will even do anything but oh well.

I don't want Ivypool to have a SE, i'd rather have a Riverstar one, but rigging the votes is unfair. Are people so desperate that they are using bots?

I'm confused the person who started all of this stated that they're only a hundred people and them spamming Riverstar wouldn't change a lot. Like, do they think there are a million people voting? Of course a few hundreds votes are going to change a lot!

Can't wait for them to say "sike it's joke". it is literally a joke. it's harmless and not directed at anyone specifically. don't take random youtube comments that are clearly being stated jokingly so personally. anyways though, i want riverstar to win because mistystar SE would be zzz and ivypool as well unless it was her becoming deputy or leader, but any rigging that's going on is uncool.

Could you please tell me how the tone indicates how it's a joke? It seems very serious to me, especially if the creator liked it.
