Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1149

On some more inside baseball, what's worse for Draven isn't so much the position of the overall stealth rally topic - which is bad - but that the comment linking to the poll has fallen down a bit, too. The harder it is to find the poll, the higher the rally attrition rate becomes.

I have no one on ignore, but yeah the people who sent that stuff are pathetic.

All I said is Allen shouldn't run these anymore if he allows blatant cheating. Which he does his best not to do, but today was just a perfect storm ALL in favor of one character.

Not nearly as seriously as some of the posters in this board are trying to make out. They're just trolling.

Allen has never done anything but hand wave things away.


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.

Even if it was a coincidence, it more this likely changed the outcome of the match.

There are two topics up on /v/ atm.

One asking to vote for Sonic next match and it's all arguing about which character to actually vote for

>not voting for the best husbando Bowser

etc etc.

And the other is a poor attempt at a Link rally.

A huge portion of his "rally" votes were likely fraudulent. The next round winner cannot compete with that. Only Link could, and even then only with a weak 3rd wheel like Shepard (and if only Shepard were slightly weaker!!).

GameFAQs LFF+"rally" votes should win Draven the next round, unless Wes Draven switches his allegiances.

With respect, proper English, please.

Anyway, no, most people aren't insulting Allen. There is major exaggeration going on. Second, this is actually a part of his job so he does get things out of it. Third, people do get prizes from this so there is a degree of "serious" competition, i.e. not something that should be screwed up the way this has by outside sources.

I would take Sonic to upset him. No big rally topic, possibility that stealth rally won't reach the front page, and Link voters swarming to Sonic to avenge their hero and defeat Final Fantasy 7 all at once.

If Link keeps coming in a bit under quota he can do this in the final hourish push because he's sure to spike way over quota in that final frenzy. Of course, hoping to outrally the ultimate rally entity is not what you want to be banking on.

I'm not opposed to this specifically, but I'm afraid without Link's latent voter-base so such upset would not be possible and Reddit would win.

See, I don't care if Link wins or loses. I only want Draven gone.

I thought the votes were legit. This match didn't follow the trends of the R2 match, and every time Draven shot up, it was because another major rally popped up to re-energize him.
