Yeah, not really sure Link can afford just taking hits of 90-110 votes per update for very long.

And it's probably just going to get worse.

Draven is pulling in 100+ vote gain updates on the regular, yeesh. If he keeps this up for just three hours, Link is going to end up looking like he had joke trends.

Rally is against the rules?
One day in two years there is a rally its not like its everyday thing
#208 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/1/2013 11:25:47 PM | message detail
Seems like Link is starting to do worse as we head deeper into the night, all because the number of incoming votes from our regular GameFAQs users is declining compared to the number of votes coming from Reddit. I expected this to happen.

1200 votes per hour is atrocious, yeah. If that keeps up until 8:30, that's about a 9,000 vote lead. Looks like that 10,000 threshold getting tossed around is gonna be pretty accurate.

The rules of the Nintendo subreddit specifically forbid posts of that nature. That's why I never put a rally up for the Zelda/DK/Charizard match.

The r/nintendo mod explicitly said this, "Threads generically about the character poll are fine, but please do not submit any threads encouraging people to vote for a specific character."

Then deleted a thread with no wording saying to vote for a specific character.
#218 | LinkMarioSamus | Posted 9/1/2013 11:31:06 PM | message detail
Pleasantly surprised to see that Draven isn't killing the poll as badly as I thought. However, it seems that's more due to Link also catching a huge rally rather than Draven faltering, whoops.

Uh...hopefully Link can come back and exterminate this pest.

#220 | LordoftheMorons | Posted 9/1/2013 11:31:33 PM | message detail
Is there any chance of the Draven rally being pushed down naturally on the LoL subreddit over the course of the day due to new posts? When I look at reddit I'm pretty much looking at the front page, so I don't know how long popular posts typically stay up.

Or they could have just done a simple, innocent counter-rally on reddit, which would have been completely kosher, rather than attempt to manipulate downvotes.

Not saying it would change the outcome but it probably would at least not have led to pro-Link threads getting deleted.

Draven's intake fell off a cliff that update. That could be a massively good portent for Link.

Oh I know, that's what I was referencing. Again, it's not really hypocrisy because they're not the ones in charge of the Draven rally threads on the LoL subreddit. It's just lying about what they would do on their own subreddit.

If Link could keep his losses in that range, I'd feel a lot better.

I've actually posted zero rallies on Reddit except for Mario/Vivi. I just celebrated about the rally's success since I was in on the planning from the get-go when Draven won his first and second matches and that earned me the eternal enmity of the stats topic.

Speaking of which, I kinda feel like Zelda vs. Charizard showed that 24-hour matches aren't necessary for epic comebacks. But at least you 24-hour match fans get your preferred match type for a good chunk of this contest.

I actually thought that rallying in LoL reddit was "ok" because it can be countered by rallying in other places
Now that Link rallies are shot down left and right IN THE SAME SITE I really consider this an unfair advantage

If the match gets as many votes as the round 2 match and it continues at this proportion, Draven will have a near 9000 vote lead by 8 AM.

It probably won't get quite that many votes but either way, it won't be pretty.
