It's weird to think that, without Samus, Snake would be crushing this poll right about now.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

In my browser, at least, you see the top 6 threads. So falling to #7 would mean that you have to scroll to see the rally. Now that it bumped back up to #6, a lot more people are seeing it. I would guess that's been the difference.

At least this means Link might have a chance in the bonus.
#455 | Wanglicious | Posted 9/14/2013 10:11:24 PM | message detail
he never was in a good position!
just impressive that he managed to bring it down to 330 after the first hour. beasty start.
but the rally probably is shifting more pro draven and less pro snake right about now. Snake got less votes there and Draven spiked.

Still, wouldn't people just scroll regardless?

I don't buy that. Samus is screwing Draven as well.

No, he didn't! His intake on that update was exactly the same as the one before.

I have to disagree. About half of our votes are coming from reddit right now. If we assume Snake 53/47s Samus on GameFAQs, that still means that Samus is drawing a significant amount of votes away from Draven. I think having a dying third wheel here would help Draven just as much as it would help Snake.

There is no possible way Samus is hurting Draven more than Snake. Argue for a mitigated Draven rally, but don't be ridiculous. It's GameFAQs LFF.

Draven isn't looking too far off in votals than against Link looking at the updates side to side. This is where Samus starts hurting Snake more than Draven.
#470 | xp1337 | Posted 9/14/2013 10:13:23 PM | message detail
Yeah, I'm thinking this might be over. Unless Snake just reverses this quickly.

Nah. Draven has absolutely no base of strength on GameFAQs. About 90% of Samus' votes would go straight to Snake.

Not necessarily. Especially if people just go to see the top World Championships threads, but they'll click on the link to vote when they see the title. But if they don't see it and get their WC fix, no reason to scroll.

ah, the satisfaction of SBAllen losing the tiebreaker and thus the bet to Devin


They changed the tiebreaker to the Expert Challenge score. I have no idea why Devin agreed to this. >_>


did Devin actually agree or did Allen just say that


I don't remember exactly what SBAllen said but it sounded like that had agreed on it.

I hate LoL so much. Whenever we start to counter the subreddit, they just pull a new trick out of their asses. We should probably just give up now because Snake will need like 250k votes to secure a victory against the sorts of bull LoL can pull off.

There's no such thing as a miracle without blood, sweat and tears! If you want to beat Draven, now's the time to rise up and do all you can!

You realize that if they are going to complain about "someone from board 8 created the rally early to make it lost steam fast" it's not a better conspiracy theory than "reddit DDoS'd this site during Link comeback"

Not like I compare a DDoS to just creating a thread,but the conspiracy idea is stupid

Really? I kinda hope we did it. Would be hilarious.

I thought Allen showed us fairly clearly that it wasn't a DDOS. Just horrible luck.
