Says the person using homophobic slurs to attack someone. Why not man up and just use the f-word while you're at it?

I wasn't around for 2002 either (except for Mario/Cloud- IIRC, I was actually referred here by PlanetGamecube rallying), but I believe Samus made a 2000 vote comeback on Sonic with the SNV and won by 34 votes. CJay said the stuffing was minimal and stuffing for each side balanced each other out, so the result would stsand.

Well, that Twitter rally quickly dissipated. Now Link needs some rallies to make up the votes, but he's still on a decent track.


Draven's well has likely dried up. Link's well is nearly infinite all over the internet.

This isn't 2002 anymore. We're all 10 years older (and should not be as subject to ridiculous immature outbursts), and Bacon is a lot more involved with us than CJayC ever was in these things. At this point, I think that if Bacon says he thinks there was no rallying, then we should just believe that he's checked it out. Does that mean he's going to be right? Not necessarily, but if he can't find ironclad proof of cheating then his hands are tied. No point yelling at him about it.

Still below quota, but we're getting back there. Link just won't give up. What a trooper.

By the way, assuming Link is a constant now and forever, Cloud 2003 is now projected to beat Draven.

Another big thing to point out is that the match start was delayed by three hours due to some glitch, but the next match started on time. A lot of people claimed that Samus was able to get off to an early lead (she was ahead before the Day Vote came in), because all of the Sonic fans had already gone to bed.

Also, it was the first match that featured outside rallying, so people were upset about that and considered it cheating at the time.

Are you surprised? The board has been beyond classless. I give everybody a fair shake, but when people respond to someone saying he needs a break with 'Good riddance, I despise you', there's nothing left to respect.

Allen didn't get hit with anything bad in there really. Yeah, he got yelled at, people complained, and it's deserved here. If you aren't going to do anything to a problem (DDoS or not, it was a 90 minute site outage) then of course you're gonna get yelled at.

As long as the Draven stuffer will lay off for the next 3 hours and 16 minutes, I think Link's got a shot. His rallies are only going to become more desperate and widespread across the internet as the clock winds down on the poll. Frog even rallied by calling people on the phone. There are still lots more votes out there in the world to rally.

I'm being villified but I think the worst I gave him was "you deserve the hostility aimed your way". The reaction to Allen has been greatly overstated; people are acting like any post that was cynical about his motives was childish or idiotic or harsh or whatever.

Back above quota. Link, you are unreal.

So, I'm in Salinas, California, right now, driving back from Sunnyvale to Los Angeles. But I've been sitting at a McDonald's for the last hour and a half because I can't take my eyes off of this match. There's no way I can get back to LA before the poll closes, so.......I'll guess I'll drive for a while, and find another place off the freeway to use the internet.

I will say this about the Allen thing as well.

This is part of his job. He profits from this. He also depends on the community to be able to do this. So he kind of owes it to them to do a proper job, and not extending a poll that went down for 90 minutes would not be that. I am not bashing Allen, I'm just saying that there is a correct way to proceed here, and he has not done it. He's not a terrible person or incompetent, it's just fair criticism.

See, this is exactly what Bacon wanted to happen this contest, isn't it? Something that could find potential new long-term users. Draven wasn't the answer, he was the path to the answer. Protecting Link will bring more long-term users to this site than any LOL rally ever could.
