OK, fans of OSC, the results depend on your decisions here:

Now the only screen name I recognize is beanbag, but I don't know why.

I have looked on DDRFreak, DDRuk, and have found none of the above voters.

The question:
Is there any defense to why these votes should be counted instead of thrown out? We have no clue who they are, they have not posted in OSC at all, and are trying to come in and affect the final round without any comments or previous history.
I think if they cared about OSC they should have posted at least ONCE on Bemanistyle somewhere, or register sooner than today. (That one is obviously out come to think of it, because they couldn't have accessed the files. I'm going to check the IP on that user vs the rest of the users.)

beanbag is an ex-nDDRo member, I'm guessing Ebisumaru or lrxevan or someone would have encouraged him to come here and vote in the competition. I would be assuming that this would be a case of "play the files and vote for which you like best", not just "vote for this one" too, so you should probably count it.

KungFuJesus sounds vaguely familiar but I'm not sure where I've heard the name before. I don't recognise the second person.

In short I'd say keep Beanbag's, probably keep KungFuJesus's, but maybe throw out thefoxyoukai's unless they're able to post here with an explanation (because the whole registering today thing is very suspicious)

As long as their votes aren't completely stupid, random, or unthoughtful, I think they should count. It is possible that they were simply watching the threads as OSC 5 went by, but then again, we don't know much about them.

Xythar - Thanks for the association.
beanbag's will count.

Good news, no one that voted used either of these screen names. I just checked all the ip's.

I sent thefoxyoukai a PM earlier saying their vote was suspicious, and I got no response back.

PM sent to KungFuJesus just now...

Neither has had any activity since their vote tonight, as well. (Well KungFuJesus had like 7 minutes...)

UPDATE:
I've been notified that KungFuJesus was another forum member from i-XCell (nDDRo).

[#Infinity]

With all that stated, does this mean the results are just about ready to be posted now? I can't wait to see who won!

[BLueSS]

10 more minutes...

UPDATE 2: KungFuJesus is signifigantly different than the "Kung Fu Man" from i-XCell. The username has spaces, and that username is currently not taken on BMS here, so it would have been open for him to use.

*Checks to see the outcome of his votes*

Solved: He voted wrong anyways. Used method #2 (the simple one) and STILL mixed DDR and ITG votes.

beanbag = counted.
other two = not counted.
