We are absolutely gutted to seemingly have been disqualified through no fault of our own, and really want to know who 'stupid' is right now; only hope they have the decency to come clean.
We wish the very best of luck to everyone else in a great competition that we are regrettably no longer part of.
I have temporarily signed up for this site to offer my sincerest apologies to the organisers of this competition, but most especially to half-light, for posting all these votes. I have no excuse to offer but drunken enthusiasm and a desire to see my friends succeed.
In the cold and sober light of day I can see what a stupid, transparent and deceitful thing it was to do, and my main reason for owning up is to stress that the members of half light had no knowledge of this and were not party to it in any way.
Now, it seems that they have been disqualified and I have probably lost at least three good friends, probably more. I am so sorry guys!
Note: this band seems to be manipulating the vote system by using a dynamic IP address. The consequence will disqualification from the competition.
