I, a runner, have a shot at being on MTV's Real World

It's not hopeless, I'm on summer vacation right now and had time to make over 100 accounts with different IPs. They can't vote until a few hours from now (since it lets an account only vote once per day), so all we need is for everyone to make a surge for the next few hours.

After that, the 100+ accounts should be able to get him to the #60-70 spot, and we can push it from there to the top 50 tomorrow.

bump!

ok. you are a loser. "I had time..." it's summer go out and meet some girls. stop trying to get some random toolbox on MTV only so the world can laugh at him, not with him. have you seen his videos. Eric H is straight up lame.

Me too. I don't have a hundred yet (about 70-80 now) but it takes almost no time to make new accounts. The 70-80 accounts took less than half an hour to make, and it's a fun way to kill some time.

Oh, and if you're from dyestat, go and post in in their playground.

Whatever. Half an hour of time to make those accounts is nothing if you're not in school or work.

Second time I've voted for him. If I remember, I'll vote again tomorrow.

Just made a new account and voted. Lets get him in!

I just gave him his 1000th vote.

He's at the middle of page 4 now, and he needs to be at the end of page 2 to get in. This is about 35 more places and a few hundred votes.

Someone call Bush and tell him we need a surge.

You need more like 1,000 accounts with different IPs if you want to get him to the top 50.

I remembered to vote today.

He was first in round 1 and couldn't even get in the top 50 in this round.

Lesson? Everyone has an attention span for voting on MTV's site, scribbling on drawball, etc, and it usually lasts for 1-2 weeks.

So, Eric, here's the strategy for getting onto the show:

Round 1: Post on several obscure running forums and ask them to help you out. If you doesn't get the 1,000 votes to move on (it should be easy since you have a month), you can still enter round 2 as an eleventh hour participant.

Round 2: Post on more commonly viewed forums. Runners World, CoolRunning, and even the POSE forums are fine.

Round 3: Post on dyestat and letsrun. It'll generate a huge amount of attention, and you're guaranteed to be in the top 5.

Round 4: Unless you do something really stupid, you can be completely sure that you will make it pass this round. After all, it's extremely unlikely that MTV's production team will turn down someone who got in the top 5 in round 3.

Final round: With some luck, the dyestat/letsrun enthusiasm will continue, giving you a reasonable chance at getting the most votes and getting into the show.

did he make it to the next round?

Just called him. He told us to put the "Mission Accomplished" banner up.

This fit young gal did not take no for an answer!

Anymore info about the accomplished thought is he going for sure???

I think he was making a Bush joke...not saying he got in

So what ever happened to this guy? How far did he make it?

I don't know what happened to this guy.

I do know that MTV is making the college Steve Scott graduated from well known as a dancing school.

I didn't expect to see this thread back up. I made it to round 3 of 5 then bottomed out. Now I teach Latin in rural Virginia, fading daily into a deeper obscurity.

Maybe I should seek the help of Surfaid.
