From: TheCodeisBosco | #149 Reddit update: Draven rally has already fallen to the middle of /r/all's third page. Doesn't seem to be getting the same traction as last time. This would actually hurt Link the most out of anyone The broad appeal of the all would benefit Link more than anyone of the 3 since Draven isn't going anywhere on the LoL reddit --- The King of Kings http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9971/744sptp062727c1tyrekeem.jpg |
I know we all knew those kind of updates were coming. But man, it's not fun to watch! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Just checked the Zelda/Charizard match also. wow so close! This has really been one of the funnest weeks in contest history. --- 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru Champion 4) Yuri Lowell to win the 2013 contest =) First victims: 15)Ryu and 24) Face McShooty |
The vote totals are falling, but Draven is getting bigger gains. How so? |

So you're saying the LOLers are smart enough to stop voting up that thread in order to keep it off the all page? That's manipulation! Remove the thread! :P |
Link's are falling more than Draven's --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
gearofages posted... The vote totals are falling, but Draven is getting bigger gains. How so? Most of Draven's votes are coming from outside the site. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
gearofages posted... The vote totals are falling, but Draven is getting bigger gains. How so? Without looking at the updater I'm just going to assume the obvious - Draven's intake is more or less constant since it's fueled by the rally, whereas Link's intake is dropping because, well, less votes come in at this time. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
gearofages posted... The vote totals are falling, but Draven is getting bigger gains. How so? We're reaching GameFAQS deadzone. Less people from the site are voting, but Reddit has such a huge user pool that they're holding up better. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Votals are on pretty much on par with Draven / MMX / Ryu, dayam Link hangin' in there. --- ... 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 |
Is there a Heroic_Link account, and if so, does the owner of it have pants? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
LOL Shepard, who even nominated that character Waste of a nomination, clearly. Makin' Chester look good. --- Ace Detective for Hire |
I
am pretty sure this match will get over 100000 votes. But with the
extreme level of rallying in this match, it's difficult to predict how
many votes we are on track for. This will be the first time any poll has gotten over 100000 votes since 6/7/2010, when we had this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3934 That's slightly over 3 years ago. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... I am pretty sure this match will get over 100000 votes. But with the extreme level of rallying in this match, it's difficult to predict how many votes we are on track for. Any idea when's the last time a contest poll got over 100000? Or a quick-ish way for me to find it myself? --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
darned /r/snesandgenesis rally --- ~Tommeri Uranius Bombaldi the Fourth, esq. If you can read this, I'm probably posting from my phone or gameFOX is borked or something! |
Julian_Caesar posted... -LusterSoldier- posted...I am pretty sure this match will get over 100000 votes. But with the extreme level of rallying in this match, it's difficult to predict how many votes we are on track for. Link/Cloud, 2010 final. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
I'm more surprised FFX/MM missed it. Just barely it seems! --- 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... I'm more surprised FFX/MM missed it. Just barely it seems! And they all would've gone to FFX, too...! --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
I just read this on reddit... wtf? "TheEnigmaBlade(NA)[M] 181 points 4 hours ago* Reminder to all visitors from GameFAQs: If you are discovered or are suspecting of having engaged in vote solicitation, you will be reported to the admins and immediately banned . Current kill count: 4 (QUADRA KILL)" I don't understand... they are allowed to rally for Draven but anyone who rallies for Link is banned? Or is it just anyone who came from Gamefaqs? How would they even prove a user originated from Gamefaqs? --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
By
the way I hope everyone in the stats topic, at least the regulars,
appreciates what a true monster Link is on this website. This likens
back to the days of Hulk Hogan, when good guys were the good guys and
the bad guys wore masks and spoke in foreign accents instead of American
ones. I don't like Link all that much but when faced with a rally the
likes dwarfs the very population of this site Link just refuses to go
down like a dog. It takes someone of amazing strength, bull**** or
otherwise, to get the job done and even when they get the job done Link
doesn't look like a complete dog. Link is going to lose this, and
firmly, but he isn't going to look like the whipping boy so many
imagined. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
Proof might be a bit strong, but if someone new turned up talking about the contest, odds would be pretty high. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... I just read this on reddit... wtf? They're talking about upvote/downvoting apparently it's a big deal to mess with a redditor's karma or whatever by upvoting or downvoting them in a planned manner --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
130 vote gain for Draven there. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... I just read this on reddit... wtf? Is that just on the LoL subreddit? Because the subreddits are allowed to have more specific rules...even "unfair" ones like that, I suppose... --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
The
r/nintendo mod clarified. When they say vote solicitation, they don't
mean soliciting for GameFAQs votes on reddit. They mean soliciting for
reddit upvotes/downvotes on GameFAQs |
holy s*** that update. Link's finished. This will be 3,000-4,000 by the time the morning comes and Draven might just get stronger by then. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Hey,
I've spent this entire match celebrating Link's completely
out-of-his-mind performance here. I've probably called it "the most
impressive performance ever" like 5-10 times already! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
ExThaNemesis posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...I just read this on reddit... wtf? It should be noted that the Link supporters didn't just solicit a rally, they attempted (unsuccessfully) to invade the LoL reddit with downvotes/upvotes. If there's unequal treatment that's almost certainly why. |

Link is going to make SOME of this deficit up, even if he doesn't win. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... The r/nintendo mod clarified. When they say vote solicitation, they don't mean soliciting for GameFAQs votes on reddit. They mean soliciting for reddit upvotes/downvotes on GameFAQs Ahhhhhh. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Yeah,
apparently over on reddit they really care about each individual users
karma to the point where affecting it in a planned manner is ban-worthy. Think Marked Message Accuracy people over here. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
We're
barely 2 hours into this match and 122 different countries have voted
in this match. On average, 131 different countries vote in each 12-hour
night match, while Draven's round 2 match had at least one vote from
160 different countries. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
so basically, even the LoL mods care more than other mods only. LoL. fans. care. about. this. contest. |
Julian_Caesar posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...I just read this on reddit... wtf? Vote solicitation is a reddit-wide rule. The admins will deal with it if we don't, and they have MUCH WORSE punishments at their disposal, such as shadowbans and IP bans. Also, vote solicitation rules only cover soliciting for upvotes/downvotes on reddit posts and do not cover the actual content of a post (such as asking for contest votes on an external site). |
http://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/1lk3ww/vote_link_we_need_to_save_him_from_league_of/ Doubt it's gonna matter though. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Link is going to lose this, and firmly, but he isn't going to look like the whipping boy so many imagined. It honestly makes me really happy. Not just because he's strong or because he's won contests, but because the most likely explanation for this performance is that gamers - almost regardless of which corner of the internet they are summoned from - feel something special for this character. There is a special attachment to Link, his adventures, and the feelings he has given millions of young people all over the world. And that... is awesome. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |

1337gamerpr0 posted... so basically, even the LoL mods care more than other mods >_> Posting that in this particular topic, on this particular board....seems a bit hypocritical, don't you think? Also, as a more general question, is anyone else actually excited about the prospects of future character contests? Regardless of whether Link wins or loses, it's been proven that upsets can happen now. Vivi > Mario is the biggest contest upset in 8 years. Maybe next year would be the time for a 1v1, to see how things have shaken out with the new voting trends (old vs. new Square, Pokemon popularity, complete changes in the Nintendo and FF pecking orders). --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
AxemRedRanger posted... http://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/1lk3ww/vote_link_we_need_to_save_him_from_league_of/ Gonna be deleted, the /r/nintendo mod said that only neutral topics would be allowed (making a neutral topic probably wouldn't be a bad idea since I'm kind of guessing that subreddit would naturally prefer Link. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Allen would have to let Board 8 make the bracket if he did 1v1 characters. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
I'd be more excited if I didn't think that it was more likely we just see rallies come into play more. ApathyFAQs. But we've had that discussion before so it'll be old arguments. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I'd
be very excited for a 1v1 like we had in 2010. This 3way format was
worth a go-around, but I think it should be shelved for a while. If we
get a 3way games contest next year, I'll be pretty salty at SBAllen. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
ExThaNemesis posted... Allen would have to let Board 8 make the bracket if he did 1v1 characters. That would be awesome. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
The dead of night is full of terrors for Link, though. Ouch. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
