Literally 5 threads on /v/ rallying Snake. Have to feel that he's exhausted all his resources at this stage and is still 1000 down.

Need to keep in perspective. Compare it to Link at this point.

Sure, this is a bad time for Snake, but just imagine what it could have been right now. 3-4k easily.


Link got his twitter and facebook stuff later on in the poll and had the benefit of a deleted Reddit thread which definitely won't happen after Allen's pleading.
The further Draven goes ahead the harder it'll be to get support for Snake as well, nobody is going to have much enthusiasm for a guy 4000 votes down.

That update hurt. Snake can't take drops in his vote totals like that. Not until Draven falls into the 150 range.

#114 | LeonhartFour | Posted 9/15/2013 2:05:00 AM | message detail
Anyway, for comparison's sake at 5 hours in:

Draven's lead over Snake - 1164
Total votes - 43895

Draven's lead over Link - 4498
Total votes - 39944

We're way ahead of Link/Draven's vote pace now.

Draven's overall lead over Snake isn't as bad but the gains he's been making on him since 4 AM have been just as bad as the ones in Link Vs. Draven. The 3000 vote head start Snake has just means Draven will only be up 3100 come morning instead of 6100.

The current #8 thread is less than an hour old and skyrocketing. Expect that to bump the Draven thread down another notch soon. And it's a World Championship thread. Probably a good sign for us.

Yeah, but I feel like we're all banking on a pretty hilarious chain of events to save Snake.

And so Snake keeping the lead down at all is helpful.

I mean, I think Draven is the favorite here, we're just trying to keep the hope alive!

Seems like we'll just have to wait the next few hours out and see whether Hayter / Kojima / the wrestlers care enough to make another push during the daytime, when their activity would have more impact. Based solely on Hayter's commentary so far I'd expect a tweet or two more if Snake is remotely close.

Kind of shocked these hours are bad ones for Snake, though. He used to be pretty steady in Europe.

Normally he is, but Draven's power is almost entirely coming from an outside rally, so it's counteracting the small intake from this site that would normally be favoring Snake in big numbers.

Draven is the prohibitive favorite. Snake still needs a miracle or 3 to win. The difference is that pre-match we thought not even a miracle could do it. Now we are within miracle range, at least.

It's possible at some point the r/lol thread will be deleted and remade to get it higher up. If that happens I would strongly advise somebody here to make that thread and collectively vote it up. Having control over the thread and then deleting it when hitting a high rating, then remaking it again and repeat will buy a lot of time of very little coverage.
#128 | Wanglicious | Posted 9/15/2013 2:10:30 AM | message detail
Snake is steady in Europe. LoL is just really, really big over there. especially within reddit traffic.

i am disappointed in Canada though.

It's more that Draven brings in a pretty absurd amount of votes in at all times so when GameFAQs traffic drops that overpowers the usual trends by too much. These hours are always Draven's best. Doesn't matter who the opponent is.

Draven also has a huge EU following. So there's likely a split between them.

No. Draven was getting doubled by Jak and Chie in round 1 before Reddit stepped in. Draven's base power on this site is pathetic.

To compare him to another LoL character who got NO rally support:

It's the outside traffic.

We had a few hours to see "unrallied Draven" he was being beaten badly by Chie Satonaka who was herself being beaten solidly by Jak.

And Link is a whole different story.

"Link didn't fail GameFAQs, GameFAQs failed Link" is one of the best lines to come out of this whole contest.

It's a retweet, it shows the time the initial person sent it to them, not when konami posted it.

It wasn't 2 hours ago. The original tweet was 2 hours ago. As far as I know, there's no way to know exactly when it was RTed. It could have been 10 minutes ago.

I just woke up and I checked the results...
1)I can't believe that Snake will win. Seriously. Snake>Link? Only 1300 difference. If the lead never goes up above 3000 Snake will win.
2)Snake will win... He keeps it so close. Also must be a record of votes. We have around 45.000 votes after almost 5 hours and the previous match that was 24 hours had around 52.000.
