Stat topix elitism is the best.

We only act that way when people say horribly stupid things in here.

Which in fairness, outside of constantly spamming his topics (which I'm going to start marking for spamming if he keeps it up; it's annoying and pointless), BT hasn't done.

3 am pacific, or about 6 am eastern. Apparantly the downtime is extended today, to 8 hours. Which means they go back up at 11 am pacific, and 2 pm eastern

know what would be awesome? if GTA blew WC out of the water during the daytime, Master Hand-style. that would kill any and all talk about rallying from now on.

Outside of Korea proxy-stuffing, at least. If Warcraft loses a close match, I think it's safe to say that rallying is BS and that people will cancel each other out even if they care enough to come to the poll. Most people will vote their favorite anyway, and I'd assume backlash comes from the massive amounts of annoying spamming. The percentages probably level themselves out, but we'll see. We'll never have a better setup for rallying making all the difference than we do now.


The backlashing seems unlikely though, don't you think? If you're going to go to the site, you're going to vote for the other person just to spite the rallier? You're not really getting revenge on anyone, and, odds are, if you're playing warcraft, why wouldn't you vote for it? Sure you might like GTA better, but I doubt rallying really cancels itself out.

I so wish that happens, preferably when WoW's servers go down for maintenance.

NO ONE saw that match being close, either.

*also points to self*

Master Chief was looking pretty fierce coming in off of Crash Bandicoot. I believe I had an Oracle or something of Master Chief with 50%. Er... maybe not, not even sure if I did Oracle that year. But still, a lot of people called for it.

I've lost a bit of confidence in the casual day-vote after CV/Halo.

Then again, CV has had alot more exposure than Warcraft.

I hate WoW with a passion, but I won't be too upset if GTA ultimately loses. Warcraft 3 is such a blast.

Huh? I'm the only one in this topic that actually really likes GTA? After playing Vice City, I thought GTA was okay, but the more I play San Andreas, the more I absolutely love the series.

Don't worry, I totally agree. Seeing GTA beat Warcraft would be the highlight of this contest for me.

Poor Master Chief. : (

I've always loved supporting him, after I had MC > Frog. Sadly, I don't think he or his series has ever really come through.
