Yes.

No Hitler in my contest means less 4chan involvement means better contest


Yeah, remember when Mudkip swept the entire bracket in 2007?

Oh wait

Do you honestly think having some fodder character get in will make the contest any better?

4chan getting their way is always awful so yes. I would prefer boredom to 4chan winning anything.

Depending on how Hitler does in the end, I'll start putting some thought into whether or not Hitler could have done well enough without 4chan to get into the contest on his own.

Just because they failed once (or a few times) doesn't mean I want to keep pushing my luck. With vote totals on the decline, there may really come a day when 4chan does have enough power to have an effect.

Hey, I voted for Hitler just so I could see his name in the final bracket. Same reason we all voted for L-Block and Missingno.

It's a popularity contest, and it's popular to vote for Hitler. Besides, if he wins we can start make the inevitable Link-Hitler comparisons...
#261 | GintokiSaotome | Posted 10/4/2011 9:21:43 PM | message detail
Lets be serious here guys... Hitler isn't going to beat anyone significant. HE might win a match or two, and add some excitement with vote spikes and people yelling about cheating, but we have too many votes in a short time for 4chan to be able to beat any characters with significant strength. They were only able to do so much damage on Gamespot since they were getting like 40k votes in 5 days.

And clearly this would be the worst thing in the world.

Having your contest that has zero impact on your real life, unless you happen to win, visited upon by, *gasp*, OTHER PEOPLE who use the Internet!

Good lord.

As much as I hate to sound like a legionnaire or whatever, there is not collective conscience of 4chan like you think there is. There are probably worse people using this website and absolute saints who just happen to browse /v/. It's just a website.

I think you need to get over yourself just a little bit.

I wouldn't go as far to say it's the worst thing in the world, but it's definitely not something I'm happy with. It's not zero impact. I enjoy these contests and am interested in what the users of GameFAQs think. 4chan's involvement goes against that so I don't like it. If I wanted to know what 4chan thought, I can do that with the GameSpot contests (and I do follow those as well).

1000 strong topics about analyzing and predicting the thought patterns of a very small segment of humanity for approximately $100 (or whatever) in gift cards annually.

Taking this with any degree of seriousness is "too seriously."

Remember that this is just the vote-in, people. Even if Hitler makes it, he'll probably be stuck against something like Pokemon Trainer/Rival, and lose.

There's something to be said about the fact that people hate Link so much they literally would cheer for Hitler over him. I'm not entirely sure what that something is, but it's definitely something.

I disagree with that. I think the contest is more fun from a serious perspective. It makes no lasting difference whether I take the contest seriously or not so I see no reason not to take it seriously if I enjoy it more.

First of all, 4chan will be much more effective in a 12-way than in a one-on-one.

And if Bacon has any sense of preserving the contest and making it decent/epic then Hitler should get thrown against Link in Round 1.
