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?

NO TO INTERNET THEFT

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.

  1. And you make me feel starstruck, Uno @w@ MORE CLICKS FOR MISTULA!!

    SUGOD MGA PILIPINO!!

  2. are you talkin bout the band with the vocalist who looks like justin fuckin timberlake playing the most overused riff in the world? jesus christ. they really need to cheat.

  3. We all know who the winner really is. Down with the cheaters!

  4. That’s low of them to cheat! You’re the real winners, I’m gonna go clicking anyway!

  5. Ah, John Lydon and the golden days of punk. Now punk is reduced to posers like Avril Lavigne and Blink 182. Sad, indeed.

    Maybe this band can’t stand being topped in their own turf? Which makes them all the more pathetic as far as I’m concerned. Instead of wasting time cheating daily, they should just work on making better music.

    Don’t let this get you down, Mistula. There are more charts for you to top out there. You have what it takes. Keep at it.

    • Our thoughts exactly, Ghost. We’re definitely not going to let this pass. This is unfair not just to us, but to the other artists on Overplay as well. At this rate, no other band will get a chance to be on top. It’s not right.

  6. This pathetic act is giving humans a bad name.

    I thought I was the only one who noticed their sudden vote bursts. It usually happens whenever you top them. They wait for you to reach number 1, then they what, ask 30 people to vote for them all at the same time? It’s a ridiculous thought. My guess is they’re IP masking to rake in votes in from one source.

    This totally takes the fun out of Overplay. Should we send word to their admin? I think cheap shots like this dent their credibility as an organization.

    • Whoa. Did you read our minds? :shock:

      Lilith also thought that even if they had a huge fanbase, generating that much clicks in such a short time is bogus. And it has never happened on Overplay before. There is really something fishy going on here. Once we have enough proof, we will definitely email a report to Overplay. You may send your own to support our case, Red. Thank you very much.

  7. They’re pathetic if they need to resort to cheating to win.. don’t let them get you down!
    Go Mistula!!~~
    *continues clicking for mistula*

  8. anong “you make us feel like real winners?”
    YOU ARE REAL WINNERS!!!
    if the quality of this competition is degenerated by cheats like them, then it’s not a worthy measure of how great a band you are! Pathetic sila. They win the competition, then the competition’s pathetic too.

    You still rock in my book. And my book’s very hard to earn first place in.

  9. haha.. they’re so many in one band and they don’t get any hits. hahahaha. karma for them. ^_^

    there’s a school near our place and it’s named “veritas” nyahaha..
    i love you, uno!
    hahahahah..

    what i’m saying is so out of the subject. hahaha.

    wala lang. wala lang. hahaha. you don’t have shirts yet? haha..
    ^_^

    • OH MY GOD BILLIE? What a surprise to see you here!

      We saw the Veritas School! Let us hope Veritas never finds that place or she will teach kids The Cute Way To Be An Evil Overlord. Gah. :eek:

      Unless you’re willing to wear a loose shirt Eighties-style, you’ll have to wait a bit more for the Mistula baby tees. Don’t worry, it’s won’t be long now! Hahaha.
