MegatokyoEd posted... This really is the most boring way Draven could have won. L-Block was Christopher Nolan. Draven is Michael Bay. --- Still smilin' :> |
Honestly,
this contest is literally dead no. And there will be no reason for any
interest in future contests unless LoL characters are banned. Call them
"retired" like Clinkeroth back in the day. I don't care. But there's no
fun in this anymore. That being said, there is no way on Earth that this rally is legit. Not a chance that this many votes are coming at this hour from any or all of those places. Just not a chance. |
We
really can't assume that every Reddit rally is going to be this strong
though. The principle of diminishing returns is bound to sink in. It's
f***ing REDDIT, for God's sake - possibly the most fickle site on the
internet. Draven's contest path isn't as clear-cut as y'all are making it out to be. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
This
also makes a new games contest completely pointless. It makes any
further character battle completely pointless. LoL must be the biggest
hivemind fanbase in the universe. |
Sephiroth to win the board vote in the first semifinal? OMG EXTHA IT'S GONNA HAPPEN |
There is no way these numbers are real. Wonder if we can see as many as 10k removed votes? --- Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but you have died of dysentery. |
Reddit
is pretty fickle, which is exactly why this has almost no chance of
changing. All they need to do is take 5 seconds to vote every several
weeks. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
xp1337 posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Why not? I want Draven to win this. I love Mario more. I would love it if Mario won the contest because he's too respected and too emblematic of gaming to lose to any upstart who tries to challenge what he means to the industry. I haven't BS'd anybody about anything related to Draven so far. Why would you think this is a lie of all things? http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/%281%29Mario_vs_%282%29Cloud_Strife_2002 http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/%281%29Mario_vs_%284%29Crono_2003 http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._vs_The_Legend_of_Zelda_vs_Super_Mario_Bros._3_vs_Super_Mario_World_2009 Do NOT underestimate Mario. He has something not even Link has: Respect. |
TheCodeisBosco posted... We really can't assume that every Reddit rally is going to be this strong though. The principle of diminishing returns is bound to sink in. It's f***ing REDDIT, for God's sake - possibly the most fickle site on the internet. Draven needs a mere fraction of this to beat Link. This is overkill beyond overkill. This is literally one hour of rallying. It's pretty clear-cut! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I
would love if Draven simply had every vote removed but like 45 and
became the new Chester instead. Far more interesting and still gives us a
shot at seeing if Link could lose legitimately! --- Still smilin' :> |
Doubling MMX. Trippling Ryu. >_> |
Fr0zoN posted... This also makes a new games contest completely pointless. Rallying League of Legends in a games contest is a lot less funny than rallying Draven. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I'd believe in a rally before I believed in 10k stuffed votes planetwide in an hour. The entire map is blue. Early on I'd buy stuffing, but not now. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Draven is murdering MMX in basically every part of the world now. Where do you guys think these stuffed votes are coming from? --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
The rest of the internet has to be united behind Link, to drive out the legions of LoL. So it will be done. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Well,
what Kanz is saying is right, as far as Mario being very respected in
all areas and gaming communities around the Internet, but you'd need a
significant amount of rallied to not vote for the character being
rallied, and vote Mario, and that won't happen. And it's gross! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
MegatokyoEd posted... Draven is murdering MMX in basically every part of the world now. My pocket stuffer, duh. Didn't you know that he's the best there's ever been? |

I haven't BS'd anybody about anything related to Draven so far. Why would you think this is a lie of all things? I hope that's a joke. Link doesn't have respect. Well thats a new one. I guess being the main character in one of the greatest series of all time earns you nothing these days. |
Hey if the stuffer can be so good as to bypass all the hi tech security bacon's got set up maybe he can fake geolocation --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I
don't think it can be stuffing honestly, I'm just hoping against hope
for the sake of the contest. I think we're just Gamespot now sadly. I wonder if Gordon Freeman can stand up to this guy and defend his title. --- Still smilin' :> |
it was pretty obvious draven was going to get like 80% of the europe vote |
MegatokyoEd posted... Draven is murdering MMX in basically every part of the world now. everywhere? |

It's f***ing REDDIT, for God's sake - possibly the most fickle site on the internet. It doesn't make sense Why people vote for someone just because they are asked to? looking at the comments it seeme like people really prefer X and Ryu So how...? |
70.49% update for Draven. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
UltimaterializerX posted... I'd believe in a rally before I believed in 10k stuffed votes planetwide in an hour. The entire map is blue. This. This is a ridiculous rally. But it is a rally. |

I haven't BS'd anybody about anything related to Draven so far. Why would you think this is a lie of all things? Compared to the face of gaming? No. There's a reason Mario kept it closer against Gordon Freeman when he was literally boosted by Valve asking people to vote for him than Link in Gamespot's contest. |
Mario
will make the rallying even more potent. Remember how weak Mario was in
the early years of this contest! That's because people actively wanted
to see him go down, being the 'obvious' winner! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I've
always been against complaints about rallying, but we're at a point now
where it's not so much a GameFAQs Character Battle as a Character
Battle taking place on GameFAQs. I mean these things used to reflect popularity on this site, not at large. Does anyone really think Cloud and Sephiroth were the world's second and third most popular characters throughout the '00s? That Crono was a super-icon of gaming with popularity rivaling Mario? L-Block was at least a phenomenon we were basically behind, and Tetris is at least a game everyone here has played and most of us enjoyed. Most of us really have no connection to Draven whatsoever. --- Ace Detective for Hire http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8823/therearepartsofmethatar.jpg |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Do NOT underestimate Mario. He has something not even Link has: Respect. I've been here since 2003, I don't need to be told about Mario and his rallies. The idea that they can even remotely compete with what we saw just happen is absurd. And you said you want to get Riot in on this too, I just can't believe you're serious here! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Nanis23 posted... It doesn't make sense Have you ever heard of the terms "vocal minority" and "silent majority"? |
pjbasis posted... Hey if the stuffer can be so good as to bypass all the hi tech security bacon's got set up maybe he can fake geolocation LMAO true. It's "hi tech" in the North Korean sense of the term. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
ZFS posted... Well, what Kanz is saying is right, as far as Mario being very respected in all areas and gaming communities around the Internet, but you'd need a significant amount of rallied to not vote for the character being rallied, and vote Mario, and that won't happen. And it's gross! I'm making a rally in Reddit for Mario's match if it comes to that. Link will get no help from me, but Mario? That's a different story. I'm not going to give up my childhood for an excellent game. |
Last time I went to bed with Draven in distant third and woke up him winning the match. Tonight I go to bed with a comfortable Draven lead. What will I wake up to tomorrow? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
The
only odd thing about this is that literally NO ONE voted for Teemo
despite all the same rally threads being set up in various places. This
must be taking place online in the game itself, but I still find it very
odd Draven could be THIS much stronger than Teemo among the players.
Even if there is a big difference between them, it seems a little
farfetched one character can't hit even 12%. --- Still smilin' :> |
The rally topic on the official LoL forums only has 262 views. Where are all these votes coming from? --- Fortune favors the bold. -Vergil |
I'm
all for DQing Draven and any LoL content just to give these guys a
middle finger. You just don't beat LoL when votes are involved no matter
how popular your site is. Draven could probably out rally 2007! L-block with ease and double it in the process. You had Kotaku and other sites link the L-block phenomenon like it was a gigantic deal, here it's a few throwaway links in the game client or reddit and nobody cares. That is what I'm more upset about than anything. |
RIP GameFAQs contests. Reddit has finally killed you. Thanks, Kanz. Let it be known that you murdered our contests and are still proud of it. |
Rad Link 5 posted... I've always been against complaints about rallying, but we're at a point now where it's not so much a GameFAQs Character Battle as a Character Battle taking place on GameFAQs. Good reason to catch up, IMO! May as well take this opportunity to actualize and check out some new games. Not just LoL either, it'd be sweet if a dude like Shulk was a near elite on this site. |
rpgsruleall posted... The rally topic on the official LoL forums only has 262 views. Where are all these votes coming from? Reddit? Not sure though... |

Even if there is a big difference between them, it seems a little farfetched one character can't hit even 12%. I'm sorta confused as well - I'd have expected Teemo to get something, at least... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

tgs2 posted... I'm all for DQing Draven and any LoL content just to give these guys a middle finger. You just don't beat LoL when votes are involved no matter how popular your site is. No game client links here. Trust me, if the game client link goes live you see Draven with thrice as many votes as he already has, minimum. |
Kanz
quit trying to pretend anybody can still win this. The Draven voters
are going to drown everything without any competition. We might even see
a match where LINK is doubled or even tripled by something if
they rally hard enough. Mario doesn't have a shot in hell and neither
does anybody else. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Teemo
never got a reddit thread to the front page. I watched all day because I
banked on him in the Expert challenge and he never showed up. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
-LusterSoldier- posted... 70.49% update for Draven. holy crap |
Everyone ready for League of Legends to 80/20 Metal Gear Solid in the next games contest? Ready for League of Legends to 70/30 OoT and FF7. Sounds good to me =/ |
KanzarisKelshen posted...

And it's gross! I don't think you have the pull to really stop the Draven rallying. Making a reddit topic isn't going to shift scales here, as great as it would be for Mario to win. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I'm
not saying this is all stuffing, but there's definitely enough that
this would probably be a match without it. Regardless, votes aren't
getting removed so it's irrelevant. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
tgs2 posted... I'm all for DQing Draven and any LoL content just to give these guys a middle finger. You just don't beat LoL when votes are involved no matter how popular your site is. That actually would be actionable, so unless Bacon can find evidence of wrongdoing he wouldn't dare. All it takes is one prize-entry with Draven winning the contest for him to risk legal action. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
SnoicFactor posted... lmao he's doubling mmx now Oh. Now THIS is a match. --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |

You're tempting me an awful lot to make a rally topic for freakin Link of all people just to shut this nonsense up. Quit underestimating fanbases, dudes. (Incidentally, can anyone link me to the biggest Capcom subreddit? Can't find it...more than a little distracted by a bunch of conversations right now) |
