The natural vote intake is about to fall off a cliff, which is going to ruin Link's quota. For him to have a chance he needs to get rallied even harder in these last three hours.

I think it's really bad that Link is on pace to come back just enough to where the down time will be the only reason he lost, and our admin sees nothing wrong with letting a result like that stand instead of doing a rematch.

But what do I know.

There are surely places we can easily rally at.

Maybe some foreign language website?

To be fair Bacon hasn't given a comment on a rerun since Link even began his monster push, much less getting it this close.

I made a topic saying shame on you guys but even I think a rerun if it is epically close is fair.

Maybe after Link loses by less than 1000 points board 8 will realize that if they had been civil than Allen would still be around and may have extended the match to compensate for downtime, leading to reflection and personal growth all around.

Or everyone could just keep screaming about DDOS and stuffing while demanding Allen's head until he's forced to quarantine the board a la LUE. Could go either way.

Yessss, quarantine the board!

And yeah, Bacon justifiably won't give a rematch/extension, and I will laugh. Oh, will I laugh.

70. Every time it looks like it's the end, Link beats the quota again.

If the stuffer is out of action, I think Link can cut 1000 the last hour. This is going to make Mario/Crono II rallies look tame.

Allen has never done anything but hand wave things away. Blaming board 8 for Link losing is just preposterous silliness.

Shouldn't Reddit's influence be almost done by now? The only Draven thread on the LoL subreddit is currently 8th and it doesn't even link to the poll.

I mean yeah Draven is collapsing, but I thought it'd be a lot worse than it currently is.

Probably because most of these things aren't important enough to do anything but hand wave them away, since, you know, there's not much actual stuffing going on and the downtime was likely a coincidence.
