Isn't that one guy on the official LoL forums still bribing people to bump his rally thread?

I just realized how ridiculously simple it is to vote multiple times if you have a smart phone.


Not sure if you want to post it here but yes this method "works"
Although I heard somewhere that even though it shows you "vote accepted" it's not really accepted
But..this is very easy to do and if it works we are in deep problem


Yeah, I'm not posting it here and it is tedious, but it does appear to work unless, as you say, the votes aren't really accepted despite it saying so. I can't imagine that being the case though.

Don't think Cloud or Seph will ever be able to summon 400 votes at the drop of a hat, from Reddit or Facebook. That's the real death knell of FFVII.

Biggest rally the site has ever seen.

DDoS attack in his most powerful time to prevent him gaining steam.

The site administrator being nonplussed to his plight.


None of this stops Link.

oh whoops wrong topic

I doubt Draven's going to go much farther down as long as the rally thread is on the front page of the subreddit. he'll probably still keep falling, but I doubt it's to Shepard levels when that's where he was without anything.

as for what Link is doing right now I don't know but it's hilarious

If it's any consolation, I don't think Snake could beat Link anymore even if it turns out he's naturally the stronger character!


Let's assume that Vivi didn't beat Mario and that a Mario / Link / Snake final was going to happen.

What are your predictions for that match?


Uh 39/37/24 I guess for Link/Snake/Mario.

Assuming Snake is on Link's level or above, which going without saying is still rather unlikely.

Either way, I really hope Draven dies after this. If he is able to repeat next round despite lacking reddit, I don't think even Allen could dispute it.

You underestimate Allen, friend.

All Allen is looking at is the http_referer value. He isn't actually going to Reddit to see how busy the threads are. And it's a joke to mask your http_referer value when stuffing.

All this magic traffic from Reddit doesn't actually exist. Everything Lopen was calculated as stuffed, is almost surely a masked http_referer claiming to be from Reddit.

I believe some people here use facebook regulary and probably gave a like to few Nintendo pages
So if anything that can rally Link show up in their newsfeed,they would have told us

With that said,if it was Facebook then Draven got 0% votes from the Facebook rally
Yes,his vote intake actually decreased

Snake has boosted and i'm sure due to the hype of V he will no doubt be a really strong character and #2 on this site. But lets be honest, he'll never beat Link. The only legit character to beat Link was Cloud in Gfaqs peak Sqaure Years.

Well we know what it was, a repeat of Romero temporarily switching sides. I think Romero did it to mask his stuffing, but this guy just did it for the lulz. He knows Allen has been eunuch'd.

He's still stuffing about 100 votes per update for Draven though. Without that Link would still win this match easily, even down 4000 votes with only 6 hours to go.

Only 200,000 people like that fb page and it spiked Link that much.

If we could get more fb fan pages to post the poll it'd go some way to getting Link back into this, but it looks like he'll fall just short.

Largely down to the fact that Link is in the poll. How many of those 50k Dravne votes alst round go to Link? Probably a few. I don't buy this "100%" of Reddit voting Draven. It's a massive site, the rallying is helping Draven but i'm sure Link is getting some votes too.

It..does,indeed
But Link also had 4 260 updates before it
Unless there was another Facebook rally posted 20 minutes before it,we still can't explain the sudden change

Or we could just get a post on the official LoZ page, or Nintendo's.

He really, really does need to stuff at least one update for Shepard though...
