Yeah, I don't like this, good thing people have been keeping track. I guess it could be to our advantage, but I believe some people would have said we were caught off guard with the Chase contest with the WPI? I don't want that to happen again, and not sure if doing something for any other org would be fruitful? What are people's thoughts on this?

They are changing the overall rankings, right? I keep checking to make sure the WPI is still in 6th place. Or did they freeze the rankings? Thanks.
They posted that the rankings would remain accurate, only the vote numbers wouldn't show
I'm voting for the WPI as I don't see the two other groups have much chance. The chances are small they will be overtaken but at least it seems the votes have a value.
With the Chase contest, it was different - it wasn't daily voting. Some people didn't like people voting for the CAA but it wasn't "split voting" as such - each person had five votes and could only vote for the WPI once*. The WPI got over 9,000 individual votes (compare the daily votes for Vivint) - people tried hard and I'm not sure if people really rested that much on their laurels.
* Indeed, if most of the people who voted for the WPI had voted for the CAA, the CAA's research fund would have got a prize in Round 2 - but there's probably no value going over that; also, it could be argued, saying there were two groups one could vote could have got more people to make the effort to vote at all than if there was just one group

I will now vote for the WPI too. In the Pacific Region, which is what matters for the WPI, Invisible Children is now at no.6 and It Gets Better Project is at no. 3. As soon as somebody sees one of these move up or down, or sees any movement in the top 6 or so, that person could post it here. Like this we would most likely have some time to try to react, before another charity could catch up with the WPI. The gap was around 50'000 votes or so, if i remember correctly, so it seems very hard to close that, but you never know.
WPI has fallen to seventh place nationally (but is still in first in the Pacific). I haven't been keeping a close eye on the national board, so I don't know who moved up.
Edit: I'm guessing it was Journey 4 A Cure moving up to second place in the East. I note that CHERUBS is now in third place in the East. You'll likely remember that they cut a deal with Team Sanfilippo to vote for them to get Team Sanfilippo into first place nationally so that CHERUBS would win the prize in the East. Looks like that was a bad call on their part - now they might not get anything.

I don't understand why it matters where WPI ranks nationally? They only have to stay first in the Pacific. The rest would only be relavent if we were in contention for the $250K.
FWIW, IGBP posted a request for votes on its FB page 6 hours ago. They're still mentioning the $250,000. Bizarre they didn't do it more before now.
They also tweeted a request 6 hours ago and said "please RT". They haven't written any public thank you messages and a quick search for #itgetsbetter shows no mentions since the Tweet.

WPI just send me the folowiing:
Also, Vivint has hidden the number of votes to add suspense. So we won't know if someone is about to overtake them.

by my (again rough) calculations, It Gets Better would need over 8000 votes a day since the 21st, when they started hiding numbers, to catch up. Presumably WPI is still getting roughly 1000 votes a day. That means they would need 9000 votes a day. I'm not worried
Here is an interesting message from vivint. It seems that they will again mutch donations for whatever organisation (there is still 118 000 USD left)
