We did take a snapshot last time, but we took a snapshot of steemd. That worked pretty well, until we learned that votes that were removed are still shown in steemd. So that was a bit of a mistake. Lesson learned though, this time we will take a snapshot of this page and save it to make sure it is 100% accurate.
We didn't count any upvotes after the last deadline, but in steemd it did show a bit more since some users voted their own comment, and then later removed their votes (good tactic =P) this round we won't make the same mistake again. =)
That is what I'd call: "hiding in plain sight" ;) Thanks! That explains... I was kinda sad that my tactics didn't work out somehow.
Love the different approach in this competition :D
