Overplay Foulplay

Friends, thank you for continuously clicking Pista ng Patay on Overplay. We’re currently several plays behind our closest rival, a signed band who stash votes by the thirtyfold everyday from 5 to 6 PM just to make sure they stay ahead. Today, their votes surged from 133 to 160 in a matter of minutes – right before our very eyes. Hey, that’s not right.

Lilith, who has been campaigning tirelessly for Mistula, is appalled. She used to chase after gaming hackers, and she can smell foulplay on Overplay from half a world away. She has plenty of codes up her sleeve but she hesitates: is it right for Mistula to cheat?

Wrong. Leave the cheating to humans.

While we may never reach the number 1 spot again (nor any other band on Overplay for that matter), we know our votes are real. Thank you, Lilith. Thank you, dear friends. You make us feel like real winners.

For more sad truths about the music industry, I leave you with Lobo’s idol, the father of real punk, Sex Pistol’s Johnny Rotten.
