I'm
conflicted here. On one hand, of the realistic outcomes, this one helps
my Expert Challenge the most, "merely" being a -2. On the other, Draven
getting exposed and getting knocked back down to the turbo-fodder
levels of 3rd place would be the most hilarious outcome outside a
surprise Chie rally that puts this one to shame. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Holy crap the LoL fanbase is annoying Makes me feel icky to be a part of it --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Lopen posted...I don't know if Bacon typically reveals stuffer identities but my money is on Kanzaris being the mastermind. I mean, really, who else would actually be so silly to think this would work? Kanz stuffing confirmed. This is absurd. Draven goes from pathetic to great. Rallying, even if this isn't stuffing, should be banned. Yesterday it was okay due to equal rallies on both sides, but this is just too much. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I guess we can lol at "lol LoL",lol... |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Dilated Chemist posted...KanzarisKelshen posted...armitage999 posted...I would have expected rallies like this when it came time to vote for the Minecraft characters. I thought the LoL fans who didn't care for Draven would stay away. But Dota 2 has Steam Trading Cards, and League doesn't. Have you not heard the news that Steam Trading Cards are the new TF2 hats? |
Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Incidentally,
funny thing guys, you know why this is happening? Timing. Perfect
****ing timing here and now. See, just around this time, news of a
Draven rework got released. For those that don't play LoL, he was an
overwhelmingly powerful lane bully early in the game who nobody could
beat. So they took away his broken passive ability and gave him a new
one. And the new ability's name? League of Draven. It couldn't possibly have come at a better time, goddamn. |

I mean, really, who else would actually be so silly to think this would work? Rallying will never be banned. Site traffic = money. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
so when i went to bed... Jak was doubling Draven my lord how I hate the LoL fanbase also now all my mocking and taunting of Chris is for nothing --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |
Draven wins. And it's legit! --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
There is nothing bad about rallying If Riot themselves had a in-game rallying then,and only then, I can understand people crying over it |
KamikazePotato posted... Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao You know how when we have B8 contests with polls and they get 100 votes and when we make people actually post their votes we get 13? Same deal. The people actually voting Draven are more likely to click the link, vote and move on than the people who are all "ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWER VOTE JAK." --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
Lightning Strikes posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Lopen posted...I don't know if Bacon typically reveals stuffer identities but my money is on Kanzaris being the mastermind. I mean, really, who else would actually be so silly to think this would work? ALL OF THOSE TEARS NewCastlEmperor posted... No and I don't care. Superfans never swing ****, except when they move the silent majority to action. This is why the Waluigi rally flopped and Draven is succeeding even though they're similar characters (sans Draven being ten times as godlike). People on the LoL forums are not talking because they don't give enough of a **** to talk, they will just vote and move on. And because we love League and we love its company (which makes a difference - WoW people aren't attached to WoW and Blizzard, League people ARE), we vote for our man. |
nintendogirl2 posted... KamikazePotato posted...Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao this exactly --- http://kambyero.com |
I would still prefer our routine Link winning, but will never like someone like Draven tto get rallied and win. The game is terrible in itself and so is the fanbase. #whining #hashtagongamefaqs |
Nanis23 posted... There is nothing bad about rallying It imbalances the results, and can be used to screw over people who made otherwise accurate picks. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Somebody rally for Chie to get 2nd. --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
nintendogirl2 posted... KamikazePotato posted...Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao Yeah I buy that logic, but it's still suspicious given that those two have not gone up at all. I'm sure the anti-Draven voters are more vocal but I'm sure they exist in higher numbers than basically 0. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
can we declare SocialMediaFactor a thing yet? --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |
woah, I like that this match is making the contest quite interesting, but LoL fans really are insufferable. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Lightning Strikes posted... Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying What? Anybody can come to GameFAQs and vote. --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
If anything Draven saved the contest. He'll score great on Link. --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
Whiskey_Nick posted... can we declare SocialMediaFactor a thing yet? Certainly. |
Welp, really. --- Still smilin' :> |
You guys really expected the largest gaming community in the world to not support their hero? *shakes head* This is legit. This is just the beginning. Get over it. --- ~Victory needs no explanation; defeat allows none.~ |
SocialMediaFactor?I
like it.And people crying because a character has a good rally?What is
going on?That is what a contest should be!Plus okay let us say that
there was a really famous actor coming here. And he posted on Twitter that there is a contest in a site and would like his fans to vote a specific character.Would that be unfair?Hell no!That is how things should be! --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Lightning Strikes posted... Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying By "otherwise accurate" you mean "wrong" right? Hints and Tips Outside forces can and probably will attempt to rally people to visit the site and vote for a certain character, and that's fine Right there on the homepage, if you wanted your bracket to be right you needed to see this coming. --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
Lopen posted... nintendogirl2 posted...KamikazePotato posted...Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao Against these two jobbers? L, Persona has sold like 100k copies total for Persona 4 and maybe half that for Golden (and half were repeat buys). You're asking an awful lot of those people to come to GameFAQS and give a ****. And as for Jak, the Playstation 'icon'? I think I'm gonna borrow a quote from Death of a Salesman: "He was liked...but he was not well-liked." |
Lol this could be like Gamespot's or G4's contests at this rate. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
PhoenixNine posted... You guys really expected the largest gaming community in the world to not support their hero? I think all this proved was that the LoL guys are bigger losers than the WoW guys ever were. WoW could have easily done this too but for some reason the players were more laid back and didn't care enough. --- Still smilin' :> |
VauntX posted... OlDirtyNumbers posted...okay now i hope draven was stuffed and loses Quoted for truth. Oh my god is he obnoxious. The contest is fantastic though. --- http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr263/crypto_magnum/Polycosm_sig.jpg |
Lightning Strikes posted... Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying But this is a popularity contest Rallying is just giving the site to more people,and if the character is important to them they will vote for it |
Jak has TTGL powers? --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
Nanis23 posted... Lightning Strikes posted...Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying so you want draven winning the entire contest dont you |
nintendogirl2 posted... Lightning Strikes posted...Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying NGirl, why did you stop being a mod? If you still were one I could go to a Best Mods contest and vote for you. Lightning Strikes posted... Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying ITT, Lightning Strikes getting mad that people are voting in polls. Literally butthurt over this, lmao. |
So, are we all back on the Link bandwagon? The hero this contest needs? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Not
that anybody actually cares, but if Bacon lets this result ride as
legit, I'll be ducking out of this contest and will never come back for
another one. If this were just a fun little contest just for the lulz,
that'd be one thing. But when it's actually a contest for prizes and
people are allowed to completely swing the results far, far, FAR outside
the norm by pulling in outside voters, it makes a complete mockery of
our attempt to have a legit and interesting competition. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I
don't understand why people being mock-arrogant like the LoL fans in
this topics makes them worse than the people who take that
mock-arrogance 100% seriously and think that rallying should be banned. I guess my point is that all you 'omfg LoL fans are the worst' people are carrying yourselves a lot worse than the LoL fans. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
PhoenixNine posted... You guys really expected the largest gaming community in the world to not support their hero? Yeah, the largest gaming community in the world rallied together to defeat the mighty Jak and ****ing Chie Satonaka. --- Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all |
Lopen posted... nintendogirl2 posted...KamikazePotato posted...Half the posts in the rally topics are people saying they're voting for Jak or Chie lmao So what? There are people saying that they're voting Jak and not actually voting Jak? Surely the people saying they're doing so are actually doing so, so Jak must be higher than he'd be otherwise... right? --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
spooky96 posted... Nanis23 posted...Lightning Strikes posted...Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying Honestly? If Draven wins because people came in and voted for him, I am so down for that you don't even know. We've never had a legit champion who won just because people cared specifically about him, as opposed to the joke of L-Block. Would be a fun change of pace! |
People getting mad cause their perfect bracket is in jeopardy. --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
KanzarisKelshen posted... NGirl, why did you stop being a mod? If you still were one I could go to a Best Mods contest and vote for you. Note the "2" at the end of my username that denotes this is my public account. :P I'm still a mod. --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
I think I had a bracket busted by Rockband of all games >_> --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
The weirdest thing to me is people saying "Had to vote Jak because of my childhood" is the Jak series really that old That makes me feel old --- http://img.imgcake.com/KommunistKoala/koalajpgehsa.jpg http://img.imgcake.com/KKpngat.png |
I
think the majority of the anti-rally sentiment is coming as a reaction
to the LoL reaction. The "Is this a rally or is it stuffing?" discussion
is something else entirely. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Robazoid posted... I don't understand why people being mock-arrogant like the LoL fans in this topics makes them worse than the people who take that mock-arrogance 100% seriously and think that rallying should be banned. LoL fans ARE the worst. Not because they like LoL. The game is actually good. The problem is that the community is among the worst gaming communities in existence. It's toxic and full of humongous jerks. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
spooky96 posted... Nanis23 posted...Lightning Strikes posted...Nanis23 posted...There is nothing bad about rallying No I dont But I dont think he need to lose to this crappy charcter either |

You're literally complaining about rallying. How is 'LoL is the greatest game ever' worse than this? --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
I
said basically 0, ngirl. As in, they might be gaining a vote or two
every update but yeah. Draven's up ~120 from his normal intake and
Jak/Chie aren't up by any noticeable amount. I don't think that's
happened in any legitimate rally before. Usually all entrants increase a
little and the rallied one increases a lot more. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
