Obviously people vote for the block.. but this is 5000 votes
ahead of a match that'd normally be outscoring it easily just because
of the pure vote drawing power of Cloud, Link, and Sephiroth. This
utterly decimates any rally attempts ever. But no, no, clearly it's just because I'm an L-Block hater that I suspect anything. There is no reason to doubt this is entirely legit, none whatsoever. I won't say I don't wish death on the damned thing... but I'm seriously just looking at facts here. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I'm still actually kind of surprised that no one has jumped on my case,
considering how many years I've been bragging about how Sephiroth would
never lose to Samus. >.> --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88. Link > Sephiroth Proud supporter of trash like France and Arsenal. |

Not only are you an L-Block hater, but you're a communist as well. Seriously there are NO cheating accusations that get taken seriously anymore. Hell, look at Frog/Axel. There was BLATANT AS **** cheating in that match, and barely anyone cared. And those that did, gave up on it after about an hour. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88.

that's petty - no reason to do that when you haven't said anything to warrant it. I might even go along with the idea of L getting some stuffed votes, but 5000? it took all day for 2000 back when. the trends look legitimate. there's nothing wonky going on here. this is pure power, baby. --- xyzzy "And Snake has scaled the mountain.

and man, Chief really dropped the ball in the past hour. Snake's nearly at 3,000 already. Looking like a Link/Cloud/Snake/L-Block finale. I'm really struggling with my vote here. >.> I think I'm going to wait and see just who it is that is battling with Link for the crown. I want Cloud to win and all, but if L-Block is the one with the upset possibility, then he'll get my freaking vote. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88.

I'm not saying it's stuffed 5000 votes, either. I am saying it has likely stuffed enough votes to destroy any comeback potential where there'd normally be. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

And I hope it's close at the end, because nothing adds more suspense to
a match than absolute rallying. That and the fact that hearing Swift

And I fail to see how a 3500 vote lead in one hour looks legitimate. Yeah, frontloaded, sure, but what the hell is that.

If Master Chief had a Kingdom Hearts cameo, then a 5,000 vote comeback would be do-able. Right now, even the Chief can't do that. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88. Link > Sephiroth Proud supporter of trash like France and Arsenal. |

Oh god, I just thought of something fun. Say MC were to get a huge part in a Kingdom Hearts game. Now say he was to face off against Kefka. Just try to imagine what the 14:30-20:00 updates would be like in that match. Master Chief would probably be able to win those updates by like 300 votes a piece. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88. Link > Sephiroth Proud supporter of trash like France and Arsenal. |

My prediction from yesterday: Tomorrow will go L-Block>Snake. The PS2 fanboys will be split 75-25 between Snake and Dante, in favor of Snake. Nintendo fanboys will go about 20% Snake and 80% L-Block. Master Chief will get the Microsoft vote. So Master Chief will beat Dante. But it won't matter, because they'll both lose to Snake, who will lose to L-Block. L-Block 37% Snake 35% Master Chief 17% Dante 11% Currently: Master Chief ............19.8% Dante........................ 14.7% L-Block..................... 38.25% Solid Snake .............27.25% And you guys thought L-Block wouldn't get 37%. Snake's under-achieving and Dante is over-achieving. I thought more of the Sony fanboys would go Snake. Meh. --- Yo, stop calling L-Block an inanimate object.

| Personally, I don't know why vote stuffing is
simply ignored in L-Block's matches... everyone is more than willing to
admit that Bacon doesn't seem to give a damn/doesn't know enough to
prevent vote stuffing from happening, what with him refusing to say
anything even in epic comeback's, massive late explosions, and the
closest margin of victory we've ever had. Yet with Mudkip and Bidoof,
there were people more than willing to throw out cheating accusations,
and if this explosion by L was happening at the end of matches as
opposed to the beginning, people would be flipping the **** out. I'm
not saying that makes it 100% conclusive that vote stuffing is going
on, but all that coupled with L having the tendency to be involved in
the higher scoring matches lends itself to doubt. It's funny how it's ignored simply because it's L. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

Chief's got this. You see how he's rising to 24% updates when we're
outta the dead of night vote? Master Chief's resolute 30% do not emerge
till the day vote. 45% updates will turn this match around quick. Believe. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

That's the most idiotic prediction I've ever heard. L- Block won't get
30% on Link. The only reason he has 38% now is because of Nintendo
fanboys. All of them will go with L-Block next round. I call
Link>Snake>Cloud>L-Block. And that's only 'cause I out Snake
as second in my bracket. I don't like Cloud. Or FFVII. --- Yo, stop calling L-Block an inanimate object. Sonic, Squall, and Snake don't even move unless you help them along. L-Block moves on his own. -Bolt Thrower |

| Eh, I don't think MC quite has it in him to pull
this one out, though he will definitely be making it closer. Either way
I'm satisfied, all I ever said was that L/MC/Snake could finish in any
order, including Snake not placing, and while it's probably not going
to happen, I don't think it lacks credibility. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

So after looking around, I've seen a bunch of people on various boards
saying either "I voted for L-Block, but I'm voting for Link tomorrow"
or "I prefer Cloud but I'm going to vote for L-Block". While obviously not reliable enough to draw any conclusions from, it looks creative's theory of FF7 fans being less "fun" and therefore stopping the upset might not work out. D: |

| To be honest, I've absolutely hated this since
Round 2, so I'm definitely not going to be voting for it. And I prefer
the FF series by far to the Zelda series. But I like Link way more than

Even if there was vote-stuffing involved, wouldn't it have to be stuffing of a nature heretofore untold of to create this much of a monster? And MC and Snake just don't have as devoted cheaters behind them? I think once word got out about L-Block having a chance, it became a draw. To modify someone else's idea, it's like Stephen Colbert running for the Presidency. He would get support in the primaries as a joke account, but he wouldn't blow anyone away. If he started actually barely winning a few or at least being semi-competitive, young people would all of a sudden turn out in droves to vote for him, and heaven help us if he could actually make it to the finals. The difference is that Colbert winning the Presidency would be a sign that we're extremely dissatisfied with the current political landscape on all sides and think the entire process is a joke, so we're going to make it one. I'm not sure L-Block winning CB07 means the same thing, but then again it might. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I'm not saying that there wasn't any cheating for L-Block in the
opening of the match, but it has also won virtually every single update
since then. If there is cheating going on that's allowing L-Block to
win it is occurring on a scale unprecedented to anything we've ever
seen before. --- "Look out-- It's Liquids and Gases!" |

We already saw how 4ch tried to stuff Mudkip before in his rnd. 2
match. You noticed that died out through the night and come morning the
updates looked completely different. Cause they ran out of resources to
do so. Now we're watching L-Block STILL pulling in these ridiculous update %s right now. So either there is a global conspiracy to vote stuff for him, or this is just a crazy beast we have now. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

Well, this is looking about a million times more "normal" than that
ridiculous first half hour. It's hard to picture Link not outdoing this
percentage, but L-Block has been holding up tremendously regardless of
the competition, and he'll be at his strongest tomorrow. Should be a
fight. Also, I don't think Cloud will make up the first hour hurt
L-Block will put on him. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
