Anyway, I think the case of Guiness is the best idea!

I'm new to this stuff. And you're right, I shouldn't take it seriously.

Now there's an idea!
Funny thing, I overheard a conversation between to SDAOG members. One
said to the other, "The voting's between (my car & the one that won)
that car and his car." The other man replied, "Has he (meaning me)
ever bought a drink?" His friend said, "I don't think you know him."
To which he replied "Well, f___ him!" I took it for what it was, a
joke. I even called the guy on it, saying, "I heard that, let me buy
you a beer!" But it's indicative of the vote swapping you refer to. I
guess it's just part of the game. Fair or not.
