Votes can be bought/redeemed in a couple of ways:
A) apologise to a roosters fan for any bashing over the last 5 weeks (The Whole Nest May Vote For You ?)
B) sucking up to another member so they vote for you (Perfectally Legal)
C) suck up to hado, and say "your posts are awesome" (he and his many other alters will vote for you)
D) confuse me or dodger and post up random leaderboards that are phoney (then we may possibly make a mistake that works in your favour)
E) if your at the top of the leaderboard, suck up to a moderator and demand to shut this thread down, so you are a winner by default
