That
just assumes these guys are brainless buffoons. It's not far off, but
at this point they are expecting the match and know when it's coming. --- Still smilin' :> |
A
few days ago, I tested out the idea of using multiple accounts to
downvote or upvote topics on Reddit. Here was a message I posted in a
different topic on this board: I tried upvoting my Missingno rallies on Reddit using multiple accounts and I got some very strange results when I used multiple accounts. For one of my Missingno rallies, I had 5 upvotes and 6 downvotes before I started upvoting it with multiple accounts. After I got done using my accounts to upvote it, the rally had 31 upvotes and 24 downvotes. It seems like if you try to use multiple accounts to upvote a topic on Reddit, those upvotes are also counted as downvotes as well, which seems to explain why the number of downvotes kept increasing as I was upvoting my rally multiple times. Based on that, downvoting the Draven rallies does not appear to be an effective strategy to stop the rallies from showing up on the front page of the LoL subreddit. Although in the case of the Draven rally, I am downvoting it multiple times instead of upvoting it. But the same idea applies here. What I noticed is the ratio of upvotes to downvotes remains exactly the same despite my attempts to downvote the Draven rally. It still says "46% like it" despite my attempts to downvote the rally multiple times. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

They've also got money on the line. They're motivated, is what I'm saying! --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

Here was a message I posted in a different topic on this board: Why wouldn't you believe Luster? He's not an Ace Contest Killer like I am, if you think that's my aim. He's in league with you, and I've done the same thing and it'd explain why some topics didn't take off in the past. Seems legit to me. Reddit is way sneakier than we thought! --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

Reddit deals with voting abuse on a massive scale on a daily basis. Simple methods of trying to vote stuff won't work. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Not sure why people are so involved over this. this isn't a fight that can be won --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
xp1337 posted... Not sure why people are so involved over this. And this. I don't know why you guys are bothering with this. I think some of you even think Draven was winning by cheating rather than rallies which makes killing the rallies even more pointless. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Because people are always hopeful until there's nothing left to hope for. It's an emotion that springs eternal, after all. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
The comments in the LoL subreddit thread are hilarious and almost worth the icky feeling that going to reddit forces upon you. Guys, trying to mass downvote is one thing, but for your own sake stop commenting. They're just tearing you apart. --- Official Iron Man of C&GN |

It
looks like we are powerless to stop the rally topic. Back when I
attempted to downvote the rally topic earlier, it said "46% like it".
Now the rally topic has surpassed 60% likes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Holy **** I checked that topic five seconds ago and it was at like 46% likes, now it ballooned hard. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
xp1337 posted... Not sure why people are so involved over this. Link can find a way --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I
somewhat cared about trying to stop the rallies, at the beginning of
round two, but now since then, my bracket has gone to hell. R2
essentially f***ed everything up....so, yeah. I have no desire to rally,
or stop an opposing rally. Just gonna try my best at the expert. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |

Now the rally topic has surpassed 60% likes. Interesting. You cleared cookies I assume? You could also try creating multiple random topics about LoL - asking about certain champions, strategies, or just mimicking existing topics. Probably won't help, but it's something. The only thing evil needs to win is for good men to do nothing and all that ;) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Although it's gonna require Allen to actually notice what vote stuffing is. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
wow, a popular character is going to win a popularity contest? better get angry! typical gamefaqs style rofl --- NEW YORK GIANTS SUPER BOWL 46 CHAMPS! do fjdk lolLOLOL |
creativename posted... Interesting. You cleared cookies I assume? do this and upvote them |
Team Rocket Elite posted... xp1337 posted...Not sure why people are so involved over this. If all the rallies got downvoted into obscurity and Draven literally got a million votes anyway, how do you think it would look to Bacon? --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
ZFS posted... Although it's gonna require Allen to actually notice what vote stuffing is. Ballot stuffing is when one person submits multiple ballots during a vote in which only one ballot per person is permitted. The name originates from the earliest days of this practice in which people literally did stuff more than one ballot in a ballot box at the same time. maybe you should first --- NEW YORK GIANTS SUPER BOWL 46 CHAMPS! do fjdk lolLOLOL |
Team Rocket Elite posted... xp1337 posted...Not sure why people are so involved over this. What I wanted to see was the rally topic buried and Draven still getting 50K "rallied" votes. Maybe force bacon to admit massive stuffing going on for Draven. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... If all the rallies got downvoted into obscurity and Draven literally got a million votes anyway, how do you think it would look to Bacon? actually: Link literally gets a zillion votes, what's SBAllen gonna do |

ZFS posted... xp1337 posted...Not sure why people are so involved over this. Hey, I am one of the more pro-Link people here! I support Link under normal circumstances (because it really has reached comedy at this point.) But you have to know when to fold! This is beyond what we can stop and I feel like the desperate attempt to try to is just going to make the fallout worse. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

creativename posted... Interesting. You cleared cookies I assume? Oh yes, I cleared cookies every single time I wanted to log into a different account. I actually had plans to create a script that will be able to automatically log into each account and downvote the rally. However, I discovered that Reddit has some security features that prevents me from using an automated script to downvote or upvote topics on Reddit. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Oh yes, I cleared cookies every single time I wanted to log into a different account. tsk tsk not good enough, you gotta keep up with the LoL stuffing powers! |
Link
will always be the champion here, regardless of what happens. Hopefully
we get some interesting people in the finals at least. |

-LusterSoldier- posted... creativename posted...Interesting. You cleared cookies I assume? Incidentally Luster, I'm kinda surprised this hasn't gotten you modded since discussing this stuff is against the rules. I hope you make it through this OK, man... --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
From: LiBe____BCNOFNe | #269 wow, a popular character is going to win a popularity contest? No, Link is about to get destroyed by Draven. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
A
Crono/Vivi match might be a good idea next contest imo. Not because I
think Vivi has a chance (anyone who wants to take the upset can feel
free though!) but because if Vivi really does get a lot of his support
from Old Square due to FFIX being a tribute to it or Black Mage Factor
or whatever, Crono should theoretically be capable of SFFing him. We've
seen Crono SFF Kefka, Cloud did a poor job at best at SFFing Kefka and
couldn't SFF Frog, and Sephiroth couldn't SFF Vivi back when Seph wasn't
a hilarious anti-vote magnet. Might be a pattern there. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

upvotes in something like 20 minutes, good christ. And to think a small
group of GameFAQS users did this...I feel a little awed. 'To fight
monsters, we created monsters of our own', indeed. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Haha. I like it. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

There's no way we can win against Reddit. If you can't beat them, join them. Yes, just vote for Draven later. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
ZinsanityCraze posted... There's no way we can win against Reddit. lolwut actually, just don't vote in the other matches, they don't vote there so if votals crater, Allen might actually notice |
