Link will probably end up with about 67% when it's all said and
done. He should have gotten 80%. These are tanner-like opponents. Worst
performance by a noble nine member. Yes, worse than Sephiroth This is massive rallying/possible cheating from one of the Internet's largest forums. I wouldn't be surprised if some other Noble 9ers were struggling to break 50% at this point. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

be careful with posting any cheating techniques. you don't want to get suspended. LL is LUELinks, a LUE spinoff, cn. it is a huge community that is basically separate from GF at this point. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Its honestly going to be way worse for Mudkip though. The only part of
4chan really taking part in this is /v/. When Mudkipz up to bat, every
single part of them is going to be rallying including /b/. --- Demyx is better than Axel. I don't like Haley Scarnato |

SB can't do anything about the proxies though. You can't track the
proxies and would have no way of knowing which were proxy and which
were legit. Exactly...it's pretty tough to take out proxy votes. CJayC was able to do some Ninja-style analysis on IP blocks though in some match, I forget which one. He was able to toss out proxy votes that way. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Oh, right, forgot how serious they're getting about cheating. Deleted. Maybe they can re-enlist CJayC's help with finding proxies? --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I guess we get to find out just how SB stacks up to CJayC in
seriousness about cheating. If no action is taken after today I guess
it's safe to say you could probably get away with anything >_> --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

I agree that this is the worst Noble Nine performance thus far, which
would be shocking coming from Link. But given the circumstances, you
can't take too much, if anything, from it. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

With 3 handheld-only characters, yeah I expected Link to be doing
better, but I don't think we can draw conclusions just yet. Especially

Maybe they can re-enlist CJayC's help with finding proxies? I can just imagine. *CJayC walks toward the kitchen, looking for a snack after a Saturday morning quickee with Shadowtak* The phone rings.

It's looking pretty good for Mudkip though...they might not even need
to cheat to get him to the next round, since its likely all of 4chan,
the rest of the chans, ED, LUE and LL will back Mudkip --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |

The Bidoof topic on 4chan has 74 replies and counting. That is a LOT for a 4chan topic. No it's not. They've had multiple topics hit four digits. Anyway, I'm glad I anticipated the 4chan influence for this one.

Elaborate on this theory Master Moltar. Well, we all know furries are nocturnal, meaning most of them are up and on the Internet at the start time of the poll, doing creepy furry things. Therefore, they are able to strongly support any furry at the beginning of the poll. I've spent 10 years working on this, so it can't be wrong at all or else I end myself. --- Moltar Status: The Analysis Crew...believe Agent J/Bidoof/Link/Miles - Bracket: Link > Miles - Vote: Miles (42/48) |

Proxy votes can be pretty hard to nail down. I guess it all boils down
to how much of his Saturday the Baconater wants to waste checking to
see if a beaver got an extra 1000 votes over the prosecutor. --- Married to PepsiPlunge June 01, 2005: HERO'S PLUNGE! The revenge was swift and sweet (Metal Gear Solid 2) |

the thing is, even with Bidoof slowing down, he's still beating
