There is still the possibilty it will die off and Draven will slow down We will see |
According
to RES, the Draven thread has 220 upvotes and 57 downvotes. And that's
probably a gross underestimation seeing as it's the #2 link for me now. |
Eh,
I play LoL every day and I don't really like this outside of the beauty
of it turning everyone into walking hypocrites. I'm not really
interested in contests decided by reddit or 4chan or whatever. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
raginbull911 posted... People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. I'm not going to say all this additional traffic is a bad thing for GameFAQs or anything, but it doesn't mean crap if they just go back to the hole they came from after they finish voting and never return. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

ExThaNemesis posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...TheCodeisBosco posted...I'm not going to lie and say I predicted this - hell f***ing no I didn't - but in hindsight, there was always the potential that this kind of thing would happen. Reddit is a far, far more effective rallying tool than anything we've seen in the past. It's a site that thrives on links, and popular games have their own subreddits - sometimes with tens of thousands of subscribers apiece. Even 4chan rallies really can't touch that kind of potential. ...you really think they wouldn't revenge-vote against Link? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Man this would be so much more enjoyable without the gloating of LoL .....fan(s)? I have never played the game and know nothing about it but I already hate everything about it just because of this forum :o |

From: Nanis23 | #101 There is still the possibilty it will die off and Draven will slow down Literally the biggest game in history --- The King of Kings http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9971/744sptp062727c1tyrekeem.jpg |
so can ryu beat X for second place if incoming redditers prefer him more --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
This going too ugly. |
There's
no point to do the contests anymore is if all is needed is a quick
thread at Reddit for an easy 10k voters that will never bother using the
site again. This inevitably goes for Link too if people are going to
rally reddit's nintendo force. |

I'm sure he'd LOVE Sephiroth in the finals! |
Looks like Im voting for Draven next round. I refuse to ever vote for Link. --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMcwhStCYAAr-mC.jpg Dallas Cowboys and Mavs |
holy f****** s***. As soon as I finish my homework, BOOM, Draven gets a subway's worth of votes. --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
raginbull911 posted... People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. My beef with this is that this entire contest is no longer decided by the voters of GameFAQs. It's decided by Reddit. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Wow. Draven's really winning. The contest is his. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |

This
match is going to break 10000 votes before the end of the first hour.
We haven't had 10000 votes at the end of the first hour since the
Link/Santa Claus bonus match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
raginbull911 posted... People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. An LoL fan accusing other people of being pre-teens? This is rich. Go back to babby's first Dota clone. I hear next week Riot are going to rip off another hero that's been in Dota for 10 years and charge you only $20 for it. Then you can buy some additional runes, because everyone knows pay to win games are the best. Then you can midlessly support the latest in a long line of generic, overpowered heroes over 2 gaming icons in a contest on a website you probably have never visited before. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |

So we have... LoL Forums & Reddit vs GameFAQs in the next round. I think GameFAQs will lose. |
War has changed. It's not about nations, or ideologies. It's not even about profit, resources, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by redditors and machines. War, and its vast consumption of human pageviews, has become a rational, well-oiled business transaction. War has changed. Unregistered users carry unregistered votes, use off-site links. Memes inside their communities enhance and regulate their actions. Opinion control... Information control... Emotion control... Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence is now the age of control, averting Link with weapons of mass rally. And he who controls the battlefield controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/9526/prosecutorshominamimoto.png |
Yeah this has officially stopped being a "gamefaqs" contest. |
spooky96 posted... So we have... hold that, Nintendo forum rally time! |
There are also over 50,000 people watching LoL on Twitch. Some channels linking could be contributing. --- Not so Gr8 anymore. |
MMX update = 250 votes. Draven update = 760 votes. And I'm done with the updates. This rally is working especially well because of how far GFQs has fallen over the years. People just don't come to the site anymore. So an outside rally like this from the most popular game in the world easily crushes votes from the every-day voter. --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |

Comparisons to Tidus/Missingno I assume. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
X
is now at 62% on Ryu based on lol Draven-stats by the way, guys. Oh,
and Draven projected using a constant Ryu is going to be the most
powerful entity the contests have ever seen by many orders of magnitude. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
why are people only blaming reddit there is pretty clearly a greater force at play here --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Fr0zoN posted... Man this would be so much more enjoyable without the gloating of LoL .....fan(s)? Gloating? We're just happy to see Draven do so well. I mean, put it this way: If we, the fans, didn't care enough to get people in here, this doesn't happen. If you play a part in such a humongous swing in anything, wouldn't you feel proud? |
I wouldn't be surprised if even /v/ decides to back Draven next round to screw over Link. You guys better find some Nintendo fansites to rally. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Yup,
this contest is done. Allen isn't going to start taking away votes
here. Why would he take away votes when this rally brought him money
from thousands of ad impressions for these new users? Anyway, I'm out. Good luck, everybody. --- Drop it to the floor... |

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to B8's resident troll, but I've been on this site longer than you have buddy. These contests are for fun, when crazy things happen, it's fun. Better than SPOILERS: LINK WINS. --- I pwn you all! |
first suspicious region spotted Portugal 97% Draven --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
lol 51%.. this is link level, it will now go over. --- nt |
Achromatic posted... It isn't about the winner guys, it is about the journey! The man speaks the truth |
Draven breaks 50% --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
Lopen posted... first suspicious region spotted Portugal 97% Draven Os meus votos são legítimas, me deixe em paz --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
SnoicFactor posted... lol 51%.. this is link level, it will now go over. Way beyond what Link is capable of already. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh.
I figured it was people rooting for Link to beat Draven, but then
complaining Link always wins. Wouldn't apply to me either way! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
pfft Link would get 60% here draven is done --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Yet,
Draven winning like this is far less fun than Link inevitably winning.
At least some people held out hope for Snake or Cloud; there is no hope
for anyone but Draven to win now. That sounds like a lot less "fun" to
me. But yeah, at least at Gamespot they had the presence of mind to get behind Gordon Freeman instead of this guy. --- Still smilin' :> |
kinsho3 posted... raginbull911 posted...People really need to stop moaning and complaining about cheating and stuffing and understand the situation. No, it's decided by the people who want it more. Seriously, go to reddit. Go to MM fansites. GO. NOW. Don't wait until this match is over, get EVERYBODY to vote for MMX. You want the win? Go for the win. Influence it. You're not a passive observer. You're a guy with know-how, someone who understands how these contests go. Don't let someone else curbstomp the guys you like. Try to turn the match around for them! |
This poll has literally twice the number of voters as Link's match did this time. Draven is truly a master of marketing. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Chie > X in the DravenStats |
Like, c'mon guys, Link got 60% on Raiden and SFFed Yoshi. Draven's got 50% on MEGA MAN X AND RYU. AND RISING. By far the most powerful contest entity we've ever seen. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
So...
at this point like why bother making brackets or doing any sort of
predicting whatsoever? The bigger the rally, the less the entire contest
history matters. At least Oracle survives because everybody bombs the
same match and the others are normal. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
