The only rallying I really think matters is WoW. Other stuff needs
hideously massive numbers to make a difference. Or maybe I'm wrong, who
knows. --- TurnTurnTurn your brain in. ~*ST*~ Now Playing: Mother 3, Castlevania: OoE, MGS2 |

We've seen Albion rally hundreds of votes for Hogger and Cube- there
is no need to resort to stuffing as an explanation. It could be the
case, but I see no reason to believe it. I kind of disproved that earlier today. Albion stopped his rallying the hour after WCC took the lead. Usually ralliers stop after the character takes the lead. Albion wasn't the only person rallying at that time. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 295/416 Today's Match: Samus > Vincent |

Yeah, this is obviously stuffing in so many ways. I don't even care, though. When's the last time we had a close match? --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

When there's only 300 or so votes coming in each update after rallying,
and it's split between 4 characters, well, the rallied ones are going
to do really well. The last hour has really low votals normally, so
rallying becomes very pronounced. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

Rallying = Going to sites to get more people to vote, usually for a
specific character. Only Dummies, The Butthurt, or stupid people
complain about this in a popularity contest. Stuffing = being able to repeatedly vote for said same character over and over. This is technically cheating, but it causes much laughter so I don't shun it. --- Warning, there is a bear right behind you. Ride Him. |

And again, Magus cut almost 100 votes on Sandbag, AFTER 11:30 when it
was clear he had no chance of winning. A good deal of this and Frog's
rally was CT's natural strength in the last hour. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

Magus cutting 100 votes on a largely day-vote oriented character at the
2nd night isn't strange. Crono cutting that much on a character that by
all accounts shouldn't be that much worse than him in the 2nd night is
a different story. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Yeah, but honestly, 200 votes isn't such a large amount that rallying
cannot explain it. Say Crono would cut 50 normally....150 requires even
less need for stuffing. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

Vincent has been *very* careful not to let his vote share diminish,

Both Mario and Crono were stuffing massively, and Mario was stuffing
more. That's one case where stuffing was clear because they were
getting as many votes late as night as they were getting at noon. And
it was a 2-way, so rallying wouldn't be amplified by all the rallied
votes going to half the field as it is here. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |
