Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1146

Take out the random site outage, and Link/Draven trends are falling in line EXACTLY with Link/L-block (Link goes on a tear into L-block's lead for 4 and a half hours then L-block goes virtually 51-49 the rest of the match). Kind of creepy if Draven can keep up his current vote intake.

The mods on the LoL subreddit are pretty much a puny army against a huge swarm of LoL ralliers. The mods are really trying their hardest to kill the rally topics, but new ones are constantly popping up.

That thread was posted 3 hours ago and makes no difference at all. This is outright vote-stuffing.

It's silly to think anyone can beat LoL anyway. Just getting this close is amazing.


Errr, Link can and will.

Just imagine if a Zelda game just came out. It would be much easier to rally for Link. Draven is pathetic and no match for the True hero of time.

Doesn't matter how Draven's getting the votes, as long as they're there!

That's just how Draven rolls

We also got to see how the reddit rally falling down the page effected Draven's votes earlier in the match. It wasn't pretty at all. He just collapsed as it got into THE SAME POSITION that the current half rally thread is now. There's just no way this is legit

I think the best course of action would be to redo this entire match at the end of the round instead of doing a bonus poll. There simply has been too much bogus going on from both sides that the results from this poll can't possibly be considered valid.

Yesterday,I said I wanted to wake up to a world where Draven just beat Chester by 100 votes in the "Biggest losers of round 1" bonus poll

Now,I don't ask for too much-I just ask for a world where Allen can confirm there was a DDoS attack and vote stuffing,letting Board 8 decides a serious nomination to replace Draven,and do a rematch for Jak/Chie/Nominatedcharacter and X/Ryu/Winner...and of course,let Link advance in this match (or just let Winner face Link here for fairness,I don't care)

Probably 1000 extra.

Yeah, 236 vote update with no rallies at all going on? Sorry, that is blatant vote-stuffing. Not to mention the DDOS crap.

Allen will probably call the entire thing legit and claim the DDOS would not have mattered.

Re-do has to favor Draven. We spent a bit of time trying to analyze why Draven failed to show up like in R2 and a re-run just gives them another chance to correct it.

There is honestly no good option for Bacon here outside of Link winning and Bacon just washing his hands of this. Any other outcome is not really going to over well! He has to comment at this point.

He actually dropped alot where it was at the 7th place
Of course this was a few hours ago and now there are "new people" in the subreddit but it's still..kinda weird

The thread on the LoL forum doesn't seem to be maintaining momentum, but the 2 hour old Reddit threat with links upvoted as the top replies is at 9th, it's hard to tell how big that rally could be.

How long are we from the time the poll is scheduled to close?

Link stuffed at a 2:1 ratio over Draven. Also, the servers were just experiencing some unexpected downtime. The results are legitimate as you see them.

Would a site admin really just just let a DDoS attack "slide"? I can't remember the last time the entire site was hit like this. You've gotta figure he's none too happy about the site being shut down for 90 minutes.

I was away for many hours.Glad to see that Draven is still holding.Still Link will win by around 2.000 votes or more it seems.But I hope that he get's antivoted so much that doesn't win the final round.I am all for Snake even though I don't like him.

You people saw what happened last time, Allen will not step out against Reddit. He literally went out of his way to advertise this contest specifically to Reddit, he isn't going to haul that back now that they're giving him exactly what he wants in extra traffic. He'll stand by them and screw the people who love the contest.

This guy doesn't want fictionals but wants bandwagon rallies from external sites?

Seriously, we need a new admin or the sites going to die and contests will die.
