That was Link falling off. He got a hundred less votes than the last update.

Oh Ive already said, if Link keeps it within 1000 at Power Hour then that's a moral victory. Under 2500 come morning and we might have a match.

+120 over a few hours, though...10,000 votes would one hell of a comeback.

Man people quit hope reaaal quick in this topic.

Again, Draven's base strength is getting almost double by Chie.

Yes Draven will pile up MASSIVE votes overnight.

But if the rally ever dies down, holy hell. Full powered Link vs. a guy doubled by Chie? During the day vote!?!

Link could be capable of a swing of galactic proportions here.

Whatever happens here, guys, just remember that Draven's victory is still not quite set in stone.

A lot of the Draven voters are people who are really, really fed up with the LAW. If (when?) Link loses this, I think a lot of people will be satisfied and stop caring as much. In addition, a rally's popularity can certainly fluctuate a lot.

Draven will certainly be the favorite. But don't be so quick to "wash your hands of the contest" or whatever. There's still a lot of potential for good times.

Best way for Link to win is for the Draven rally to die, not for Link's rally to be sustained.

True, but the rallies never stopped for one update in round 2, through the entire 12 hours from when they started even though draven was tripling both the other entrants.

if rallies in general go insane and the votal base skyrockets up, the Sonic/Mewtwo winner has a small chance. they have at least the potential to pull in a lot of votes. if Sonic can rally 20,000 votes on his normal strength and the Draven rally is below average in strength that day...

Yeah...if this contest has proven anything it's that anything can happen. If Vivi can beat Mario, I can totally see Snake or L-Block beating Draven.

Yeah, Link's one hope here is that Draven runs out of votes and Link is still in range whenever that happens.

Given how awful Base Draven is that could be a huge range. I'm just skeptical it happens.

Link's best time should be all dat tomorrow, not right now. Draven's naturally is in the middle of the night, but if that rally falters, or still splits to Link, on top of the day vote Link could cut that lead down quite a bit.

http://www.reddit.com/rules
http://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette

Nothing in the site rules against canvassing for people to vote for a poll on another site. Those are the core universal site rules. The various subreddits can also enforce any extra rules they see fit. It's possible that there are additional rules in /r/nintendo where rallying wouldn't be legal, but they're certainly not against the /r/leagueoflegends rules.

So double standard? Probably, but in line with how Reddit works.

Really can't believe people are giving up on Link already, after how impressive he's been here...

This just has to be people forgetting how pitiful Draven's base strength is, right? I mean how can they possibly say Link is done here?

Virtually anything that curtails the Draven rally will receive in absolute monster level of destruction from Link. Shepard is wholly capable of making cuts on Draven if so.

Draven MUST sustain this rally at full power, for at least 14 or so hours, to win.
