The internet hates Cloud.

But once they go to vote, they will be ON the internet and will be infected with a "Hate Cloud" virus.

I remember Lopen once talked about conservatives supporting Cloud. If we can't get Putin, let's get the RNC. They can just make a post saying a vote for Squirtle is a vote for Obama.

Where the heck do you rally for Cloud? With Link you can rally anywhere I rallied a ton on twitter/facebook and I'm sure I got him a few hundred votes. Everyone loves Link. With Cloud where exactly do you go to rally?

Though I'm not going to bother rallying for him even if there is somewhere. He barely even got my vote. He pretty much only got it because of his contest history and after everything that's happened in this contest who really cares about that anymore?

I think what's holding back Cloud is Leon. Sure, Leon's performance is no Big Boss, but he did get a couple of good updates in the beginning of the match, so I think he pretty much played a factor in slowly taking down Cloud.

So it looks like, even on Cloud's game's message board, Squirtle is still more popular than Cloud.

It looks like that nobody really does like Cloud. Squirtle really is the more popular character. Pokemon > Final Fantasy really is a lock now.

Heh, go figure.

It was a response to the declining votals not being a sign of site traffic declining.

I was here earlier this year for, like, a couple days, actually. It was a bit disappointing seeing what had happened to the place, honestly. I've sort of been following the contest off and on - I paid attention for part of the first round, missed almost the entire second round, and coincidentally checked in again a few days before Link vs Draven - and I only saw the last five or six hours of that.

I wasn't even planning on posting, but I couldn't resist the urge to tweak KoolAid. :3

I have actually never completed a bracket for any contest I've been here for. I'm very indecisive that way.

My petition to display the Poll of the Day on other pages of the site has surpassed the minimum requirements needed before sending a feedback ticket to SBAllen asking it to be implemented.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/67111376

Still there for anyone who still wants to sign it. More signs definitely wouldn't hurt and everyone complaining about low vote totals and/or rallying has no good reason to not go for it.

Think I should gather more signs before submitting the feedback ticket or do it now? Even assuming Bacon accepts it, it's not going to be implemented in time to do anything this contest either way.

Post a rally for Draven, then say in the actual post that for this match, Draven is listed as Cloud.
