DoctorJimmy133 posted... Why do people go around downvoting comments like "I love Draven but I love Samus/Snake even more"? [–]C0nviq -16 points 1 hour ago -16 points for having a different opinion My god [–]DishoveledPanda [score hidden] 12 minutes ago OK |

I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
From: Nanis23 | #351 [–]DishoveledPanda [score hidden] 12 minutes ago Yeah, but if SS wins then you can't read the GameFAQ butthurt. It still blows my mind that it's 2013 and people still talk like this on the internet unironically. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Looks like some people want to start a new topic with a more pro-Draven title. I guess it will depend what the mods do. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 179/324 Today's Pick: Link |
charmander6000 posted... Looks like some people want to start a new topic with a more pro-Draven title. *sigh* and we're the dirty tricksters… --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
It looks like they're deleting dupes anyway. I don't think it'll really matter, regardless. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
They chose that topic name very badly. I hope they do change the title, it's only fair to Draven's previous opponents. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
charmander6000 posted... Looks like some people want to start a new topic with a more pro-Draven title. I guess it will depend what the mods do. Subreddit mod here. The post will not be removed by us since it doesn't violate any rules, even though we've gotten a number of complaints about you and the title. As long as you don't form a voting ring, solicit for votes, or try and manipulate the votes in any other way, it won't be touched. |

Now he might only win by a modest landslide. ... Come on, Draven needs to lose and we can't pull any punches here! --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |

Whether
it is or not I can't imagine it'll matter. Even if the backfire
percentage was unbelievably high Samus would siphon more than enough
votes to make the match a gimme. There's, like, less than a 1% chance
the match is even remotely interesting. but you gotta believe --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
The biggest trolling would be if the results didn't turn out to be the only obvious outcome, and everyone's Expert challenge was ruined. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |

The biggest trolling would be if the results didn't turn out to be the only obvious outcome, and everyone's Expert challenge was ruined. the biggest troll would be for TheEnigmaBlade here to have an expert challenge near the top, and shut down the rallies to launch himself into first oh god imagine all the reactions from every side |
I'm
still hoping for that "Kainak" person to win the contest (the one who
made the "Vote for DRAAAVEEENNN giving out RP if he wins" topic in LoL
forums Because then it would mean the winner won thanks to bribery! (you know,even if only 2% of Draven votes came from that topic,it still means he won due to bribery) |
Subreddit
mod here. The post will not be removed by us since it doesn't violate
any rules, even though we've gotten a number of complaints about you and
the title. As long as you don't form a voting ring, solicit for votes,
or try and manipulate the votes in any other way, it won't be touched. I didn't make the topic, I just said we were lucky that the name is more neutral. It probably won't matter unless the topic somehow reaches reddit/all. Besides we don't have the manpower to do anything to the topic, we might as well focus any manpower on rallying other places. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 179/324 Today's Pick: Link |
Link has finally met his match. --- ~ The Dilated One IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
The
best bet here might just be to do nothing and let Draven win. Any
attempts to beat him will be seen as defensive or caring too much. |
I'm gonna care so much the saltiness of my tears will be one for the history books are you all ready for 24 straight hours of crying about my comeuppance --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I'm actually very scared of this match The championship might make lol subreddit so popular that Draven will do to Link what he did to X and Ryu ...Maybe even worse |
This will be forever known as GameFAQs vs. Reddit. --- ~ The Dilated One IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
All I can say is go Samus. |
Scarlettail posted... The best bet here might just be to do nothing and let Draven win. Any attempts to beat him will be seen as defensive or caring too much. We should never be ashamed of caring. Ever. The insults we are receiving are not our fault, not our problem. The issue here is a pure lack of understanding. They are hostile and aggressive because they don't understand how we could care about a pointless internet popularity contest. And as hobbies go, it's a weird one, but that doesn't make it bad or wrong. There's no authority telling us our hobby is worse than their hobby. Why be ashamed of it? Why be ashamed of your own passion for something? And that's the reason the LoL subreddit is the problem here more than we are; we all understand loving a videogame, showing undying love for one, and actively participating in the community of one. We understand their obsession, even if some of us dislike it. But they don't understand ours... and that's their fault. It's not a crime, mind you - failing to understand is something everyone does at some point. But I reject any assertion that we should pretend not to care or something. This is board 8. We should be proud of this community and the reason it was formed, not ashamed of it because some trolls mock that reason - especially when that mocking is driven by their lack of understanding. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
The rally is on page 4 (#89) on r/all. Edit - #86 now --- Sometimes, I rally so hard, I break the site! -GANON1025 Because. -SBAllen |
Eh,
shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after
all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. |
I never understood the problem with "caring" about this I can write a 4096 characters long post about why caring for this contest is not worse than caring about sports You can see riots in sport games,from fans fighting and more extreme cases of burning down the football club,destroying the manager car,things like that About 72 people died in Egypt because of a riot in a football game,and what happened here was just some random "rage comments" So if anyone takes something seriously,it's people that take sport seriously The funny thing is,they are going to discuss the tournament,people will cheer for their favorite team,and if something stupid happens and the team they like lose,they will rage so much (kinda like what happened with Chen+Pudge in Dota 2 finals) |
Scarlettail posted... Eh, shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. Even saying that, if Draven is winning tomorrow (and it's likely), we all know there will be at least 10 topics ranting about it, which will provide Reddit their tears. |
Scarlettail posted... Eh, shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. As was said, this is going to happen anyway. And rallying for Snake tomorrow doesn't necessarily mean "tears are being shed" or something. I might launch a couple of rallies if it's not a complete mauling, that doesn't mean I'm crying about it. I wasn't even too upset about Link/Draven until the various controversies. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
and none of those topics will be from people any of us recognize or are some of our resident trolls. go fig eh? --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
XIII_rocks posted... Scarlettail posted...Eh, shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. I don't see rallying as tears, since it's what Draven does. Just don't sound bothered when he wins. I hope any rallies go well. |
Scarlettail posted... XIII_rocks posted...Scarlettail posted...Eh, shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. they will make threads to subsequently quote, I don't see your point |
Oh, well you said Any attempts to beat him will be seen as defensive or caring too much. So I thought you meant that trying to get Snake to win would be a problem I never understood the problem with "caring" about this There isn't one. There's a problem when you criticise this community for caring too much, then whine to the heavens when the reddit mods start deleting your rally threads, because that's hypocrisy. I'd also say that wanting Draven to win and rallying just so you can troll people is a problem too - I mean, it's still "caring", but it's caring purely about something negative, the infliction of "pain". But I don't think that applies to like 99.9% of the Draven voters. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Scarlettail posted... Eh, shrugging it off likely will be best. There's no stopping them, after all. Just don't give them the tears they're looking for. They will completely make up these "tears" anyway, what's the difference? They've completely fabricated a ridiculous number of comments that were never made. It's kinda sad. It's also kinda lazy, cause they could find legit rage comments around here if they bothered. Instead they just make most of them up. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Yeah, there is literally no outcome here that won't result in us apparently being "mad" or "caring too much." It'll happen no matter what we do or don't do, and no matter how the match goes. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Yeah. I think they were spoiled in Round 2 by Black Turtle's ridiculous crap (can we please
blame him? Can we just put Kanz and BT on a pedestal of awful and heap
all the blame on them?), and when he disappeared during Rounds 3 and 4
they just made s*** up. That Serperior bloke was defending the Kazbar suicide accounts from Reddit I think, and just now decided to make that ridiculous topic about a punishment for Draven voters. Then he posted on Reddit about it. Dude is as sad as they come - definitely evidence of the downside of "caring". --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Most of the time, they refer to either A) "WTF is a Draven/Why is Draven winning?" topics, which typically aren't by b8ers, and B) obvious joke threads like http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/67242590 because they lack the mental ability to notice the irony. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... Most of the time, they refer to either you forgot Dorami topics, the classic noob-bait |
I
read all the big topics here(aside from not related topics,like "save
my" and the likes" during the LSD match and I can confirm some of the
comments they posted there were made up Although,it seems like the Pokemon boards had some...salty comments during the Mewtwo match But we don't have any control of it |
LMAO the HuskyRaven dude is so salty that the rally title mentions Snake and Samus lolololol |
Nanis23 posted... I read all the big topics here(aside from not related topics,like "save my" and the likes" during the LSD match and I can confirm some of the comments they posted there were made up "It's all GameFAQs" would be their argument. Which is really like calling all LoL redditors advocates of CP because of some other subreddit that used to be dedicated to it or something. Which is dumb. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
XIII_rocks posted... Yeah. I think they were spoiled in Round 2 by Black Turtle's ridiculous crap (can we please blame him? Can we just put Kanz and BT on a pedestal of awful and heap all the blame on them?), and when he disappeared during Rounds 3 and 4 they just made s*** up. To be fair, that punishment topic was a parody of another topic about animal abuse. Rooting for a Samus win because it'd be most hilarious. Draven would lose after all his hype, and even Snake fans would get crushed seeing their one hope to beat Draven end up losing to f***ing Samus again when he was supposed to be stronger than her. And the best part? Nintendo always wins! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
From: Not_Wylvane | #390 Rooting for a Samus win because it'd be most hilarious. The funniest part would be how most people would get -486 points. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
[–]RavenHusky 5 points 2 hours ago* These are the guys from the GameFAQs forums trying to make a post in our subreddit hit /all. Oh no! |
hylianknight3 posted... [–]RavenHusky 5 points 2 hours ago* how dare those evil gamefaqs people make our rallies more visible! |
We're not even doing anything, anyway. I mean, how could we? This board isn't big enough to influence jack. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
hylianknight3 posted... [–]RavenHusky 5 points 2 hours ago* Haha. These LoL people are insane. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Don't group LoL people in with reddit people. That wouldn't be fair. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Apparently, they really want to "rustle jimmies" whatever that means... --- "I do read sometimes." Mat Cauthon, The Wheel of Time. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_myprofile.php?user_id=432413 |
so, next contest is a console contest right :P |
I don't really care what they think. Not sure why we as a group should care either! --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Everyone
knows the big poll for the Gamefaqs users is the Link vs Draven poll
right? Link is the character they got upset over, if Snake loses to
Draven it'll be skipped right over so they can go back to obsessing over
Link and hoping they can win the Bonus Poll to prove the first one was
"luck" over the fantastic Link..I'm sure there are a ton of MGS/league
fans who will do what I'm doing voting for Snake in the final and Draven
against Link If the goal is really to troll the users over there, Draven knocking out all competition so Snake could win his first title will leave them salty as hell that Draven beat the almighty Link then Snake won the final..How will they fathom the "strength of character" and GFaqs math equations that Snake won the contest and they'll complain Draven made it easy for Snake, then in the bonus poll Draven beats Link will really annoy them..It's just toying with the users for Snake to win and reddit completely controlling the contest, 2 days of annoyance for the Link fans this this is the most pathetic thing. I think this is the apex I mean it's a post that's pro-Snake, so I should like it, but jesus christ this is just...laughable. Laughable. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
