I'd be pretty surprised if there were more than 5K-10K extra visitors to this site from referrals, if that.


5-10K extra votes for L-Block are MORE THAN ENOUGH!

It won't win 400, but cyko winning the contest would be awesome.

Oh right, the whole "multiple brackets" rule. Heh. I knew there was a reason people didn't jump on that comment.

But yeah, it'll still be awesome just to see someone with L-Block as the winner in first place. As if they actually managed to predict this thing.

Maybe you should have better things to look forward to in your life than a freaking video game character contest, then. It's sad how much this is getting to you. I bet you're in near tears right now, even though you're about to win because of said block.

Some of you are just pathetic. Just learn to enjoy the bizarre, because things aren't always going to go your way, and if you're whining about L Block winning now, I'd hate to see how you react when something actually important happens in your lives.


Wow dude, weren't you one of the guys whining about how Link wins every year?

The Real Truth | Posted 11/3/2007 9:46:06 PM | message detail
The main problem with L-Block in the contest is that...Well I mean just look. He's winning by more than 2500 (Last I checked) votes not even an hour into the match.

Now rallying is fine, but L-Block is clearly a joke character. Now when a joke character does this well in a contest, people from anywhere could be like "Oh L-Block is beating Link, I should vote for him too it'll be funny XDXD."

I was gonna say more but I'm tired of talking about this.

And honestly, I've said this before, but I'm not mad. I'm not even angry or annoyed. I'm pretty much left with, why? I just don't find L-Block winning funny.

um... if I cared that much, I wouldn't have just shown up to the match like 35 minutes late. you're exactly the type of person I'm talking about. you take personal shots at people who don't support L. guess what, people don't have to like the same thing as you, there's no need to react the way you're reacting.

I wouldn't be doing this if you weren't moaning and whining constantly about how horrible it is and how this hurts the credibility of this contest and all that crap. It's just pathetic that you can't just move on past this and accept that other people don't have to like the same thing you do. A large portion of the voters disagree with you, and it's quite sad you keep flaming them over and over just because things aren't going your way. Get over it.

Hypocrite much?

First tell me how those two comments contradict each other.

By the way, you just typed 3 paragraphs regarding the contest and you're arguing with someone about said contest.

I enjoy the contest. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it. I just don't see the point about crying when things don't go your way. Most people don't cry when their favorite sports team loses, so I don't see why people are crying because their favorite character lost to a Tetris block.

L-Block is still bleeding, but it's being distributed far too evenly to give Link a shot.

I think we should all contact Bacon and ask him for a traditional match between the top two. Seems like the proper thing to do.

No way! I love Link and laugh every time he kicks Cloud's ass. I wouldn't mind him kicking ass over and over for the rest of eternity.

I just think him getting his ass kicked by a L Block is funnier. :D

mega, because you say i'm doing something, doesn't mean i actually am doing something. are you even reading my posts, or are you just seeing that I support someone other than L, and thus I must be the spawn of all evil, disgust, and everything that's wrong with the world? i'd like to think you're just caught up in the emotion, and that if you went back and read these posts tomorrow you'd realize how foolish you look, but i know you, and i doubt that.

Hmmm...L's first hour yesterday 46.41% and he stabilized around 32% in the day. He's looking to be under that today, perhaps around 44-45%. L stabilized at 32% in the day yesterday, but Link/Cloud/Snake are better in the day than Snake/MC/Dante, even given MC's day vote. So L could conceivably be pushed down to 28-30% during the day.

Link should be at 26%, Cloud at 19%, and Snake at 11% at the end of the first hour, and by morning Link should be around that percentage. (Cloud and Snake probably get all of L-Block's percentage during the night.) L probably falls to 36% of the vote by morning - a 10% lead in this match at that time will amount to around 5000 votes.

There will be at least 100k votes left. If Link gets 4% more of them than L-Block (32% to 26%)...he only makes up 4000 votes. Jeeze, all that and he still loses. <_<

I guess if there's one good thing to come out of this it's that people are probably going to more readily accept that the NN and usual stats don't count in 4-way matches.

So I guess you could look at it like L-block is destrying the credibility of THIS contest, but the regular one is still detached, a separate entity. This contest is like bizarro world. Or....dare I say it....Soviet Russia.

eh, I don't know, I really enjoyed this contest, especially the earlier rounds. I totally agree with you on going back to normal though, there was a reason for making this contest like this, but there's no reason to run it like this again. I think most people feel this way though.
