Vote stuffer in Ireland again. Marisa's percentage in Ireland jumped from 25.97% to 40.21% in just 10 minutes.

As a touhou fan and a contest casual, I am disappointed.


I'm more disappointed that these guys have become so bad at their job and can't properly rally anymore. It just looks bad.


I just hate that a series I really like is being associated with these morons because they feel the need to stuff a gamefaqs poll

I dislike that as well. Though I'm used to series I like being associated with stupid people for the most part. I kind of expect it now.


The Touhou fanbase on gamefaqs is still pretty cool though.

Yeah the fanbase does have a lot of stupid people in it

But poking around the board here this morning the impression I've gotten is that people with no exposure to the series or its fanbase are against it now with their only exposure to either the games/characters or the fanbase being the Character Battle. And that just makes me sad.

There's a vote stuffer in Bulgaria. Based on the percentages, it seems like there are 37 votes from Bulgaria. That's definitely too many votes from Bulgaria. From my calculations, Bulgaria gets between 10 and 20 votes in most 24-hour polls.

I just spotted a vote stuffer in Germany.

Nordrhein-Westfalen:

Vivi 39.09%
Adam Jensen 12.73%
Marisa Kirisame 48.18%


It's only moved to 38.6%, 13.16%, 48.25% now. Could be some minor stuffing, but the fact that such fine movements could be made with those percentages suggests that there were a lot of votes there to begin with--and Adam's made gains there, too.

Ireland's gone back to red now, and yeah, the stuffing in the West Midlands and South East is pretty blatant. North West is debatable--Vivi's still over 40% there as well, and the percentages match up for a reasonable number of votes.

Vivi 51 votes
Adam 19 votes
Marisa 57 votes
Total votes: 126

Maybe it's actually 102 + 38 + 114 = 252, who knows. But yeah, North West doesn't look like a huge issue.

Hmm...yeah, that's another one. Looks like the vote stuffing in China stopped awhile ago, though--Marisa's down under 91% now, from the 98+% she had early on. I don't know, maybe there's something Allen knows that we don't that's leading him to believe that the initial surge of Chinese votes for Marisa is actually legitimate?

Looks like it was 102 + 38 + 114 = 252. New percentages match up with 106 + 38 + 115 = 257. Unless Marisa was way behind and then suddenly caught up, that's not really evident of a stuff.

Nope, this freeze happened slightly after the 1 minute mark. We had a freeze one time that happened around 45 seconds into the match.
