Only
source I can find (surrenderat20) says that the servers were down from
one hour before the poll started last time till 5 hours after the poll
started. Draven didn't really start to slow down at all until 8.5 hours after the poll started so yeah I'm pretty sure that's not really the cause there. Honestly it's hard to attribute the dropoff Draven had between this round to last to any natural factor. Draven had nearly 2 hours of 600+ vote updates last round. This round he had a grand total of two at the start of the poll. Not to mention Link is also drawing more votes this round than MMX + Ryu were combined, implying that rallied sources are actually drawing more votes than last round, not less. (I think Link = Ryu + MMX is probably about right, contest strength wise) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
From: ExThaNemesis | #300 I mean there are so many great Pokemon in the later gens. How can you not like them. Too many lines. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
...Link would do well to never see an update like that again. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Lopen posted... Only source I can find (surrenderat20) says that the servers were down from one hour before the poll started last time till 5 hours after the poll started. This makes the result unexplainable in a different way though. If we assume this is legit 'Rallied Draven' (which is still monstrously strong, but not 'take on the entire rest of the field at once and win' strong), then the question becomes, where the hell did the stuffed votes in Round 2 go? And if Round 2 was legit, where did Draven's full strength go? Is it just going to come storming back throughout the day instead? --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
xp1337 posted... ...Link would do well to never see an update like that again. That was Draven's largest update since 2:46 am and Link's lowest the whole match. |
ExThaNemesis posted... I can imagine really not liking genwunners. agreed, and at the same time, hating first gen Pokemon just because a lot of people are nostalgic for them is just as lame --- ||Our the Yoshi|| ||The One True Character|| |
I wonder how far Draven is going to pull away during the night here --- http://i.imgur.com/GhorUQg.jpg ~Masa |
A few possibilities I can think of. 1. Some or all of the vote stuffers aren't bothering because it doesn't seem necessary. 2. Some or all of the vote stuffers aren't bothering because they aren't around/don't care. 3. Bacon actually found stuffed votes and improved the system to better detect, but chose not to share that. *shrug. 9/12 of his updates of the last hour have been lower than his lowest all match last round so yeah as "outlandish" as these theories may seem they hold more water than "server downtime" --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Man Link in going to get double in these dead hours isnt he? |
Link
is still holding out pretty well in the US (still pretty much
California wrecking Link) and I haven't been keeping as close an eye on
it but I think he's caught up pretty well in the UK. Everywhere else though! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
*doubled |
Map
just updated on me and hurt Link pretty bad in both of those places!
Guessing it caught up to that monster update or something! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
From: Jump_Man7 | #307 agreed, and at the same time, hating first gen Pokemon just because a lot of people are nostalgic for them is just as lame Holding a certain opinion on anything just because of other people's opinions is clearly dumb. In any case though, if I make a list of all of my top favorite Pokemon, gen 1 is the only generation that doesn't have anything from there. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what?

Lopen posted... A few possibilities I can think of. I could buy any of those, really. It just makes R2 all the more bizarre. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Lopen posted... A few possibilities I can think of. I was thinking the exact same thing and am strongly leaning towards number 3. I didn't think of 1, but 2 just doesn't make sense. Why would someone care more last round? |
To
be honest I'm not entirely convinced Draven isn't still getting stuffed
votes. The trends still don't really match what I'd expect out of a
rally. The decline has been much less pronounced than I'd expect--
particularly in terms of Draven vs Link + Shepard vote dropoff. I think
Link + Shepard vs Draven was about 50-50 early in the poll for extra
votes-- now it's not even close. I'm going to run the numbers to see
how close that is to the mark but yeah. It's definitely less braindead obvious this time though. Random fun fact: At the peak rally update of this round, Shepard only drew 40 less votes than MMX did in the respective update of the last round. That's kinda hilarious. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I just woke up... Draven isn't that far ahead.Nice. But the biggest suprise is to see Shepard above 10%.Amazing. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Link under 39% now. This is pretty brutal 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 |
Lead over 4000 now. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
It's
still the night vote. If Link is holding up this well NOW, his day vote
is gonna be killer. That or Draven is just gonna pull away into his 60k
vote total. --- Big or small, I don't like Rabbits. They always look like they're about to say something, but they never do. PSN:Shimotto |
well i dont see the draven on reddit front page anymore so links day vote has a chance --- GT: LegendaryFalco oh ok |
From: Safer_777 | #319 But the biggest suprise is to see Shepard above 10%.Amazing. He's been getting a lot of pity votes from people who don't want to support Reddit or a previous contest winner. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
my favorite thing about this is how constant Shepard is Draven is murdering Link and he's just chillin with his 11.4% --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Yeah, in the time Link has fallen almost 3% Shepard dropped like .3%. shepard holding up like a champ --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
elitewarrior500 posted... well i dont see the draven on reddit front page anymore so links day vote has a chance It's dropped from 2 to 3 on the subreddit Honestly, having it on /r/all would probably be a good thing, since the average person is going to be way more likely to vote for Link or Shep than Draven --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Quick question for anyone who keeps track of vote totals What was our highest vote drawing night match that didn't involve Draven and didn't have an obvious rally? I'm thinking it was Yoshi/Solaire/Demi-fiend oddly enough but if anyone can give me a higher scoring one that'd be cool. (I think this match probably has the highest GameFAQs votes of any match so far with the hype it's had so I want to use the highest scoring one to compare) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Draven's about to hit 50 on Link..lol...glorious --- In the still of the night, I held you, held you tight. |
Draven's gains have slowed a bit the past two updates Hope it's a trend! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... Draven's gains have slowed a bit the past two updates draven slowing down.. then links day vote kicking in --- GT: LegendaryFalco oh ok |
Yep, it's the Yoshi/Solaire/Demi-Fiend match. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
This night vote is unkind to Link. Come on morning! Then it will be time for the greatest comeback in GameFAQs history! Glad to see we are already at 38k votes. I have no idea how much we'll end up with, but that looks good. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
this talk of a comeback reminds me of Halo/Castlevania still waiting on that 10000 vote swing btw --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Janus5000 posted... this talk of a comeback reminds me of Halo/Castlevania this contest is all about vindicating things we said years ago samus > mario 10000 votes no problem --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
You
see, this is what I was talking about for weeks xD. Everyone just
assumed Draven was gonna Rally and crush everyone. But there was never,
at any point a guarantee that everyone Reddit rallied would vote for
Draven. --- Big or small, I don't like Rabbits. They always look like they're about to say something, but they never do. PSN:Shimotto |
Okay,
time to jam to some OoT OST while doing these stupid TA ethics modules.
Hopefully Draven will be gaining less than 50 votes of lead per update
when I get back! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Lopen posted... Quick question for anyone who keeps track of vote totals Yes, that's the highest scoring non-Draven night match. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Lopen posted... Quick question for anyone who keeps track of vote totals For night matches, it would be Yoshi/Solaire/Demi-Fiend. For day matches, Raiden/Waluigi/Alan Wake. While there was a rally in that match, it didn't contribute any significant amount of votes to the final vote total. Ezio/Auron/L-Block and Mario/Vivi/Ganon both got more votes than Raiden/Waluigi/Alan Wake, but they both had a pretty significant amount of rallied votes (at least 3000 votes for both matches). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So...the
poll has 100.01% votes right now. It's just a rounding error somewhere
and I'm probably amused because my brain is on fumes from it being so
late, but seeing this match break the percentages system is making me
laugh for some reason. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
This
will sometimes happen with polls that have more than 2 options. In
some cases, the percentages for all of the options will add up to 99.99%
instead of 100.01%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
It's not a rounding error. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
-LusterSoldier- posted... This will sometimes happen with polls that have more than 2 options. In some cases, the percentages for all of the options will add up to 99.99% instead of 100.01%. Hypothetically, I don't see why it couldn't happen in a 1v1. Let's say you had 49.995% and 50.005% That would round to a 50-50.01% display. Unless the 1v1 polls specifically guard against that by only checking one result and just subtracting it from 100 to get the other one to ensure it adds up to 100. Or something like that. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Vote total comparison so far: Chief/Dante/L-Block/Snake at 5:01 AM - 39557 Link/Shepard/Draven at 5:01 AM - 39944 Link/Cloud/L-Block/Snake at 5:02 AM - 46171 Only about 400 votes ahead of the 2007 semifinal match right now. Although we're about 6200 votes behind the 2007 final. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Also there was a record of votes in the first 15 minutes?It must have been crazy. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Okay seems that 60ish vote gains are the new thing. That's good; I like like those much more than 100 vote gains. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
This match did not set a record for most votes in the first 15 minutes. L-Block/Paddle/WCC/? Block had 3661 votes in the first 5 minutes, 7780 votes after 15 minutes, and 19108 votes after one hour. Those are all records and will probably never be broken again. Today's match failed to break any of those records set during the 2007 bonus match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
