Some guy called "KazbarSuicider" talking trash about board 8 on Reddit and getting upvoted for it.

Looks like this contest has brought people to new lows.

You're probably better off trying to get AJ Lee to post something about it and it's pretty likely that any sort if request would simply get buried in between all the nonsense tweets she probably gets on a daily basis.

Despite there being too many Pokemon for my liking already, I would really like to see Magikarp in another contest with a better draw.

Also, regarding this Draven thing... this got ugly really quickly. He erased Mewtwo's lead in just over half an hour. The f***? I'm glad I managed to win a prize in these contests before Allen let them be ruined and controlled by outside forces.

Next Character Battle will be great. I plan on nominating a bunch of LoL characters I've never heard of so that after 2 rounds its purely a LoL tournament. Fun times.

Talking trash, or being called out. And rightfully so. That image is in incredibly poor taste.

I wonder, could you somehow get a rally on 9gag? Nobody hates Reddit more than 9gaggers, so if you could get anyone to anti-vote Draven it would be them.

Done by somebody on this board for attention, and you had to give it to him didn't you? Well done justifying his efforts.

Wow, that commenter. Absolutely disgusting.

So this is hate that I am feeling right now. I'm a relatively chilled guy I think, but seeing that actually pissed me off. I don't know who that is but whoever they are should be ashamed. And somebody who actually has a reddit account should probably point that out there. A lot of people here were personal friends with Kazbar. The fact that someone would mock a community that has suffered two recent suicides by its members is appalling. Especially since his claims are apparently false.

This is what you have enabled with the reddit love Allen.

Yeah I didn't want to give him attention but after seeing his comment combined with his username I saw red with anger and hoped posting it here would have a chance of someone doing something about it.

Rally being allowed was the fair thing to do. Sucks for Mewtwo, but I guess now he gets the chance to prove himself!

Wait until the kiddies wake up!

I don't get the sociopathic thought process behind that.

It's not "they", how would Reddit know about what goes on here? It's quite clearly someone here who wants to troll without consequence pretending to be "them".
I don't like defending Reddit but they're absolutely not the type of people to do their homework like that.

See, this makes much more sense.

Hey, let's start a witch hunt and make up a person who's doing it! Kanz is a likely suspect, but I sure don't like Vlado, so let's say it's Vlado doing it!

I'll make a separate topic on this board too. Not everybody goes in the stats topic often and it's pretty important for the massive influx of new users this match is bringing to see this. At least before they start talking some yang about how buttfurious we all are. Was trying to stay off the board today because I knew there would be bad news, but this is worth actually fighting.

People say this every 2nd match but continue to care. The contest was down the drain a long time ago but the precedent for future contests is whats of major concern.
Adding a banner link for the rest of the site to see was a great move from Allen but if he actively went to Reddit mods looking for the rally thread to be brought back up it just removes every bit of positivity that brings.
If he's really intent on turning character battles into an RNG rally em'up kind of deal then there is no future. He'll continue letting weird rally candidates into brackets, bend over backwards to cater for Reddit and stick with multi-ways.

Also we can blame them for facilitating and encouraging it. Without the reddit rallies this wouldn't have happened. Obviously personal fault is on the user alone, but this was brought out by the scenario. Look what all this has led to, seriously.

Not saying it can't be one of our own troll, but I'm praying we're better than that.

If we're blaming the facilitator then surely it should be SBAllen? This is the kind of thing that happens when you invite outsiders in knowing the locals won't welcome them.

It's something I tried to explain to a lot of people that thought other games were more popular. LoL is, bar none, the most popular game in the world. This is barely a fraction of their userbase on a monthly basis. The game itself is absolutely ridiculous in terms of just how popular it is.
