GameFAQs Contests

People have every right to call out Allen on this. His answers may never be completely satisfactory for some people, but that's a different issue.

Though the "disappointed in you all". Or w.e he said near the end there was a bit much. Don't know where that came from, he doesn't have to take it personally, he's just trying to do his job.

can we at least agree extha acted like a baby

Then again after his tantrum when Snake beat Sephiroth, it's to be expected.

Does he count though?

I never acted like a child, lol people in this topic are so awful.

Says the man who made death threats just because a match didn't go his way.

In Ulti's defense, he's not the only one and not the saddest one by a long, long shot. He didn't embarrass himself live and on video!

ExTha's thing was an act, though. He later revealed he voted for Draven and played the entire board up until then.

Excellently done, I may add.

Remember, every time Link doesn't hit his quota, his quota goes up (and every time he exceeds it, it goes down, obviously).

So... what're the odds Mewtwo wrecks Sonic tomorrow?

Link's still on target and the total needed is still decreasing, 57.9 at the moment.

Still smilin'

Okay yeah Allen is totally done playing ball with us.

Which I guess means there is zero chance of an extension to make up for the downtime.

"oh well"

Uh, I'd say Allen was perfectly in line with posting what he did. He's not a stuff-catching robot. Even if he's wrong about the DDoS or cheating, do you really think he'd hide it or be able to do anything without proof? The guy clearly cares about these contests and making these contests for us, and people have been personally insulting him all day. I'm incredibly disappointed in this place at the moment, honestly.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that horrible thing he said. Probably should get suspended for that s***.

I honestly don't know what to expect out of Mewtwo. I think it depends on how this match goes, actually, because if Link defeats Draven a lot of Board 8's planned rallies won't materialize.

Aside from the typo in this post, your program is off again. Link wins by both projections.

I was going to rally for Mewtwo, but I might get kicked out of Reddit now if I try.

If you paste the link to the poll in the comment section of a Facebook page, it shows up as a decent sized thumbnail. It almost acts like its own post. I think you can post about 20 before you have to do a security check. I don't know how much impact it can make, but it will bring eyeballs to the poll for sure.

Draven's lead hit an afternoon peak at 5239 at 4:56 PM. In the last 3 hours 25 minutes since then, Link has 2689 off the lead. Draven currently leads by 2550, and if Link repeats the last 3:25 over the next 3:25, as of 11:46 Link will be ahead by 149.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick
your 7 time champion, Link.

Stop complain about DDOS and that.

Ouch, that hurt. 18 vote cut.

Link needs another huge outburst. This'll be a miracle if he comes back.

Draven had a huge spike that update. Either someone's stuffing again or he got a huge rally that's starting. Either way, though, the stall is great for him and bad news for Link.

I feel bad about the Allen thing, but was largely uninvolved. I think there was bad stuff on both sides. Yeah, people were being horrible, and that's bad. However, legitimate comments were also being made.

There really should be that extension, for one thing, I don't think anyone will disagree.

Unfortunately deflating vote totals and counter-stuffing will be the end of him.

Still, what a f***ing performance.

It does kinda suck that there was 90 minutes during Link's top time where the site was down. That could be a difference maker, but he's still charging back from being down by 5,000 again! Pretty awesome.

Except people disagreed in the most jerkish ways imaginable, like death threats and s***. You can't really justify that sort of insanity.

Your program is still off. Link has cut 351 votes in the last 30 minutes. That's about 58 per update. You're dividing by 12 instead of 6 for the half-hour projection.

Allen is probably receptive to the extension option if most of the board doesn't take a collective dump on him out of Draven-fueled anger.

For now, we've got what we've got.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Link would only be down by 1000 without that downtime. This sucks. So much.

No one made death threats.

The worst anyone said was that he should stop being admin/stop running contests.
