Seriously, if you wanted to make this interesting you would stop for half an hour or so to see what happens. Try to gauge just how much rallying does.

Actually, thats a good idea. I won't bump my rallying topic for about an hour and see where we stand.

Pointless since it's not like you can turn rallying off, the topics will still be around. Might as well keep it up and see how high Cube can soar!

The topics go fast enough that it will fall off main page after 5-10 min

Doesn't matter if the person imitating me keeps on spamming the rallying topics, though!

My ideal match would have a comeback, but rallying to stall it every now and then and it would be more amazing if I didn't know there was rallying going on.

Something like Vercetti/Kefka, but with no cheating.

Here's another experiment.

Start rallying for Mega Man and see if it increases the Cube's votals due to the site being bigger fans of it...!

If anything it will make them angrier that you are actually the cause of Mega Man's loss. If you're looking for the drama that we use to have I'd keep silent and rally because now there's no use cheering for Mega Man when in the back of our minds we know he has no chance.
