I kinda understand what Kanz is doing here
I kinda made the 100k strong rally for MM happen,but then I also tried to rally for Charizard because I wanted both to win

Snake needs to stay close to catch draven with the day vote.
#403 | Solioxrz362 | Posted 9/15/2013 1:07:32 AM | message detail
Remember to keep using the twitter strategy during the day, because right now the votes have not started fully coming in. If we get Kojima, Hayter, Barreta, etc. to vote during the day, we will win.

Snake has got to get out of the 190s. He's getting killed by not being in the mid-200s where he spent the past few hours.

Snake just...ran out of steam. Crazy.

The good times are definitely over for now, so I'll be going to bed and hopefully wake up to a miracle.

Dude this is Dravens best time. Snake can come back from 3000 votes. Draven sucks in the second half of the contest

It was so unnatural for Snake to drop off just like that, especially after he got another huge tweet. Ugh.

Tweeted Ego and Two Best Friends. They don't have the numbers of the celebs, but they have fanbases who would be WAY more interested in this. I'd imagine we'd get way more votes for Snake out of Two Best Friends than Hayter or Kojima.

Draven is dropping again so Snake can turn this into a stall if he stays around 200 an update. Link was losing by 80-100 constantly by this point.

Yeah, but not necessarily people who are gonna go out of their way to vote in a GameFAQs contest.

TBF fans would be ALL IN on this ****, ESPECIALLY if they found out that WWE members were tweeting about it.

I think if JOHN EFFING CENA is getting involved itd be safe to say AJ would definitely at least be aware of it.

That's because it's a default sub. You don't subscribe to r/gaming, you start out subbed to r/gaming.

It's also a cesspool of overused memes, "look at this gem I found" posts, and "Does Anyone Else Remember this rare game?" (showing a picture of f****** Pikmin) .

Good luck getting anything onto r/gaming, and good luck having it stay there for any length of time.

Kofi follows Trent. Cody doesn't, however. but well, MGS is the game Cody called a close 2nd to the greatest game ever made.

also 200K followers. it ain't AJ, but it helps!
i mean the man is unemployed right now, if heroes can't save him, who can?!

Draven was ahead of Link by well over 3,000 at this point. Snake is holding up incredibly well. Don't give up on our hero just yet.

It's still undeniably a net positive for Snake.

I mean, imagine the match if nothing happened. Draven is probably up like 2500+ right now.

Yeah, this match would be beyond over by now. Draven was already pretty much right at a 1000 vote lead when Hayter Tweeted, and that was 2.5 hours ago.

It's also undeniably a net positive for the match as a whole, it's been a really exciting 4 hours.

Plus, I'll say again that Kojima's RT still has a ton of reach left in it, and almost 20 hours to exploit it.
