How many of you guys would be willing to UPVOTE a topic on r/Gaming if you happened to see it created on the day of the final match?

What's our plan? Create other rallies to more favorable audiences less likely to vote Draven? Be easier if we could do them at a specific time so we can all be ready to upvote?

I would gladly do it. However, it was attempted for Link. Even unbiased, completely fair topics were made and they were still being deleted. If you're planning something, talking with the mods first might be the way to go.

The problem is that this place will be full of our favorite guests so any kind of linking to whatever rally we put up will be downvoted to oblivion
....If you guys have some kind of..external messaging service..like AIM or something (or even this site PM's) I think it would be a better idea at the start

Because it looks like things are going out of control for Samus now
She is completely slaughtering MM now

#324 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/13/2013 12:50:11 AM | message detail
One last observation before I head off... as of right now, heading into Mega Man's worst time of the match - by far - Samus is currently 76 votes ahead of Charizard's pace. I'm wary of MM's chances because the deep night is liable to be much worse to him than it was in his last match; Samus has a significantly better night vote than Pokemon.

However, her day vote is historically not as good as Pokemon's, so while MM will probably have a bigger hole to dig himself out of he also has a higher potential. Not falling apart overnight will be key - something like 700-800 is probably his absolute maximum, even if he rallies every ounce the way he did last match.

If you don't like him then you ignore him. Simple enough there. But to actively go out of your way to frame a guy and lie just is a whole other level of absurd lameness.

And as I post that, Samus takes herself 103 votes ahead of Charizard's pace.

I didn't think it was possible for Mega Man to be a bigger underdog than he was last match, but that's exactly what we're probably looking at! So it goes, hopefully we see something interesting.

I don't think it's fair to blame Kanz for things he didn't do...
The "double agent" incident was ugly,and he deserves some tomatoes being throwen at him for that
This "dobule agent" thing is ugly too,but this time it's not Kanz...I don't think this "RavenHusky" is a user from this board

Which makes it more sad,because they lurk here even when there isn't a Draven match
I mean,I didn't even read one comment out of the 3000+ combined posts of the rally topics,why do they lurk here..?

Because they're following the contest too. They only show up to vote for Draven, but that doesn't mean they can't keep up with how things are going. We did get the numbers from Allen about the incredibly high return rate after all.

With the level of advantage Samus is displaying now, I'm dubious if Megaman will even mount a comeback. I think he'll just stop her from increasing her lead and just end up stalling her until the end of the match. Doesn't help that Megaman doesn't even have a full percent advantage in America.

Because the board has a very selective memory about some things. You know how the accusations flew of 'bribery' back in Round 3 because one user was running a raffle to get people to vote for Draven? Or how, back in Round 2, I went down the list of top comments pointing out the offensive and mocking ones and it turned out it was something like 10% or less? Same thing here. People see what they want to see. I'm not immune to it either, but it's been extremely blatant this contest season (same as with the 'Kan is making more double agent topics' thing).

I don't understand why you put it with ' marks,it WAS bribery..by the very definition of the word
And I think it's only fair that we are allowed to generalize after they did it to us in the first rally,quoting Black Turtle and using him as an example of how "butthurt" we are

Samus is really ripping into MM now. And has been since the half hour mark. Perhaps MM's early vote was unnaturally strong because of the bandwagon effect. Okay, projection time!

Based on Samus/Megaman 2007 R4, Samus wins with 52.66%.
Based on Samus/Megaman 2007 R3, Samus wins with 53.67%.

Yeah, that looks pretty bad for MM. Even going with the lower projection, that's 1800 net votes he needs to rally.

I put it in quotating marks because what real bribery looks like is Riot Games offering a free rune page to whoever votes for LoL as game of the year in the joystiq awards. That's bribery in massive polls. When you get to a scale where your personal circle has a statistically irrelevant effect (like a 100k vote character battle, or an election), it's no longer considered a bribe, for real. I'd have to find the specific political sciences term but this is actually A Thing, honest.

As for the second point, you know why? Because it's just pointless and leads to forum drama. People always accentuate the negative. Why? Because it's fun! It's cathartic to ****-talk, it generates drama, and arguing is an alright way to spend the time. We're human beings, it's something we just do. Look at all the joy people derive from trying to pin things on me! It's harmess when one side realizes it's just harmless ribbing or accepts it tolerantly, but when neither party realizes that someone else might get offended, things get ugly fast. So, don't be offended. Take the high ground and hold it, and try to see the positive things of the other side (of which there are always many). It's the besf way to deal with stuff like this, instead of dropping down to what you perceive to be the other guy's level.

Snake/Samus seems like a pretty boring match, all things considered. There's no 'story' to it. Both of them will have basically sleepwalked their way to the finals.


Don't give Samus so little credit for beating a bandwagoned Mega Man while (possibly) getting leeched by Red in the process, though it's probably minimal.

This is a pretty impressive performance for Samus, I think.

Also, personal Noble Nine rankings:

Snake > Cloud > Sonic >> Mega Man > Sephiroth > Crono > Mario > Samus > Link

I don't dislike any of them, but I don't really care about anyone below Sephy. Snake's a top 5 character, Cloud's a top 15, Sonic's a top 50.
