GameFAQs Contests

Well I'm pretty happy that reddit rallies aren't going to be part of contests anymore (probably).

"Hello! After discussing this topic internally, we've decided to remove this and other Draven CBIX threads for the following reasons. First, simply put, they aren't fully relevant to League of Legends. However, even if they were considered to be extremely relevant, there's another reason for their removal: the moderators of /r/LeagueofLegends received a request from a verified staff member at GameFAQs, asking us to remove the thread rallying behind Draven, as it was manipulating the voting on their contest.

As many of you know, reddit has long taken a hard stance against vote manipulation, and it would be incredibly unfair of us to tolerate this sort of activity just because it affects another site and not ourselves. This is why the post has been removed. It isn't fair of us to ask other sites not to game reddit, if we allow reddit to game other sites. Posts on reddit should only be voted on by redditors, not bots or spammers. Polls on other sites should be voted on by their communities, not ours. Thanks."



This match is probably over.

Wonder who that staff member was, and why they didn't do this last round when it could have saved the contest. My money is on Bacon, because it's clear that he's rigging the contest in any way possible to make sure he finishes on the leaderboard.

Good night.

Link may have been robbed, but I too forgive Allen for everything!

In fact, as far as I'm concerned, that DDOS attack was just some convenient downtime, and Link couldn't have won even with an extension (somehow).... Whatever Allen says, goes!

Why even include Link in the bracket if you're going to conspire to get him to lose lol

Bacon what a joke

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

it feels good to have called Allen Vince in that topic right now. glad i saved it too!

By the way, if Allen went with Mewtwo>Draven in the expert here I call **extreme** shenanigans on pulling reddit out of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that he did it. But we should get the same inside info that he does when making expert picks.

Link's sacrifice not in vain?

he's saving our contests from beyond the grave

*salute*

Incredible. Talk about manipulation...essentially Allen knew the result of this match before it happened. He KNEW Mewtwo would beat Draven because he made sure it would happen.

This.

All of you cheering for Allen are ****ing incredible. He decides to do this NOW. Remember he LET Draven beat Link only to have Draven LOSE NOW.

What is wrong with you? Are you that blinded by your hatred of Draven?

F*** it I don't care. Seeing those little turds at reddit upset is so awesome.

I'll wait till this match is over before I start b****ing about Allen again, but the extent to which he's manipulated the results of the contest singlehandedly is pretty much unprecedented.

And that's all I'm gonna say for now.

Wow, I am surprised anything was done since it's so late I figured they would just let everything play out. It really does feel like all this was set up just to boot Link who even STILL almost won holy damn what a powerful contest character.

Whatever, the contest was already pretty much wrecked after last round. You can't really wreck it further.

This is pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen

I know "this contest is ruined now" is a big in-joke, but... It's blatant mod tampering now.

Completely separate from my Draven support, this is unfair to everyone before and after this round.

Yeah, it's pretty crappy. He should have just retired Link, saying that it's unlikely he'll be challenged in the immediate future yadda yadda, and then made the bracket. Crafting it so he loses, and then trying to fix the contest to get it back under control after is pretty bad. I wasn't really against the guy before, and I'm not gonna call him names or anything, but that's kinda gross, as far as contests are concerned. Poor form as the runner of the contest. He can't well retire him now either, so he's gonna have to put up with him, or fix the bracket again and push for it!

This is just a genuinely hilarious situation in which I can further hype up Link as a hero.

it's an unexpected gift and i just have to run with it.

i mean after the link/draven match it's the only path i can take

I stopped taking this contest seriously a while ago.

We seriously need to come up with a name for the screw job Allen committed against Link.

It's beyond obvious all of this Draven nonsense was specifically to bring down Link, he's bad for business after all, and then he threw Draven away like trash.

Welcome to the League of Downtime.

I love the shock and awe at Bacon being slimy and disgusting when you've literally had half of a month now to see it in action.

Why the surprise? Did you all not see his total non-logic when presented with some of the things he's done lately? Did you see his logic to disallow Barkley while letting Draven go on?

Seriously, why was this not the single most expected thing?

That's the worst thing - there is no basis now to retire Link. The ignominious defeat to Draven left such a dirty taste in everybody's mouth that it couldn't possibly be Link's last match.

To be fair, this is really direct. Like, outside of personally disqualifying Draven. This is as direct an action as he can take.

And I'm not one who cares much about the integrity of the results or whatever, but it's a little...questionable when we're talking about trying to make the number one character lose, then claim that the person who beat him probably isn't going to win.

This would have made Link's win all the better how can you vote against him again knowing this HERO

Yeah, I was all for criticizing SBAllen after LSD, but let's get all the evidence here first. It's not like we know for sure he was the one that contacted Reddit. Based on how Devin's doing in the Expert Challenge, maybe he was the one that had enough, lol.

It's a new high/low for sliminess! I mean this is pretty blatant. Not sure his sympathisers can excuse such a blatant lack of objectivity, though I'm sure they'll find a way.

But hey. Draven's gonna lose. It's all good.

"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."

I'm not blaming anybody in particular, but I really do wonder why they waited until now to stop the reddit rallies. Why couldn't this have been done in R2 or R3? It's just kind of strange how it only happens after the strongest character on the site failed.

Let's wait a few more hours to see how many votes we are getting per update during the TDZ. Tomorrow's match should give us a better idea what kind of effect the banner has, because I don't expect any rallying tomorrow with the brutal Pokemon LFF that will prevent both Pokemon from even getting close to Snake in the first place.
