You guys are giving up too easily! I was here trying to keep morale up for Link at this point and it was like a 5k lead then! Now, I know Snake is no Link, but you've got to believe! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
DidYouMWISMe posted... Czill posted... If we are being frank, without the downtime, Link would have barely beaten Draven that night. It's just a matter of bad luck that Link Lost. --- http://i.imgur.com/ejc9YnO.jpg People who would give Rin a hug!: 3 |
lightning-02 posted... DidYouMWISMe posted...Given how awesome Chie is, I'm glad to hear she had the likely champ on the ropes for a while there. [b8 actually believes this] --- The official OnionOfMystery of Reality. "Vaan is like a Robin in a universe composed entirely of Batmans." |
Is Draven the greatest villain these contests have ever had? Nobody on this site supports him |

From EU to the UK... Just one more step. Come on main HQ...! --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |
Doctor_Vodka posted... Is Draven the greatest villain these contests have ever had? Nobody on this site supports him I want to say Brawl was a bigger villain during GotD, but it's close. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
I
support him. A few others support him too. Most of this board doesn't
though. Because he beat Link of course. Also as you know only this board
cares for contests. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Doctor_Vodka posted...Is Draven the greatest villain these contests have ever had? Nobody on this site supports him Oh god. Brawl. Really have to consider changing my pick to Brawl. Literally turned Majora's Mask into a hero. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Well, I imagine you're supporting Draven for a reason. Given he's only been in one game, is it that he's been given incredible characterization? Amazing character development? Or is League of Legends really the 'greatest game ever made' in the eyes of its fans, and that's what's propelling Draven here? I can't speak for others but I'm genuinely curious as to where the popularity stems from, not trying to sound snarky. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
SirBillyNic posted... Plenty of people support Draven. Nobody wins until the closing bell rings. Period. Megaman proved it, Link came close, and Mario/Crono 2 is still a testament to the impact the final update of a match can have. You never call a debated match early! --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

KanzarisKelshen posted... Doctor_Vodka posted...Is Draven the greatest villain these contests have ever had? Nobody on this site supports him People still supported Brawl. Draven literally invaded our site, took out our strongest character and even DDOSed our very website. Now he is on the brink of winning the entire contest. |
It's all about damage control for the American night. SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE --- PSN: Soggy-Snake- |
DidYouMWISMe posted... OnionOfMystery posted... It's the fact that he (quickly) turned into a meme that LoL players could use easily, much like "The cake is a lie" turned into a huge meme (only this one is game-specific). His distinctive facial features (specifically that glorious facial hair and grin) make it easy to "Draven-ify" other champions or characters, his quotes are spammable/repeatable, and his general attitude is easy to latch onto. |
That was our first update under 400 votes. This poll is a monster. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... OnionOfMystery posted... The same as most. He's from a game they like. --- http://i.imgur.com/GUtJDs7.jpg Official Jiminy Cricket of the Kingdom Hearts III Boards |
TheOneAboveAll posted... That was our first update under 400 votes. This poll is a monster. That first happened on the 5:28 AM update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
DidYouMWISMe posted... OnionOfMystery posted... Young, competitive, male audience given the platform to raid and manipulate another site. It's all for fun, they don't get involved in other polls in the contest and have zero interest in the premise of picking the best character. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... perfectchaos83 posted... Link was in the middle of quite honestly the most ridiculous comeback we've ever seen. Then the site went down for 90 minutes in the middle of the day while Link was just shredding Draven apart every update. That's the whole basis behind, "Link didn't fail GameFAQs, GameFAQs failed Link." The site literally went down in the middle of his best time. And he still almost won. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Forgot I hadn't voted. Dropped a vote in for Draven. Now I need a shower. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |

Reminds me of how I used to feel in the earlier contests I was involved in. Always felt I was the only one who separated characters from the games they were in when voting in character contests. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
DidYouMWISMe posted... OnionOfMystery posted... Taking a second to take the neutral perspective (and again, this isn't a Draven cheer), it's because it's a game with a very attractive, colorful graphical style, with an enormous variety of characters (in a genre that is best described as "fighting game meets strategy", with all the attachment to characters and dedication that implies), that is easy to learn and very hard to master, and which most notably was one of the very first free to play games that didn't hide a single power option behind a paywall. All of that, combined with an incredibly friendly company (can you imagine being able to hop on Konami's forum and just have a chat with David Hayter or Hideo Kojima? You can do that with Riot Games, all the way up to the president of the company!) has resulted in LoL's players being incredibly attached and loyal to their game, and it has grown into the biggest game in the world with 32 million accounts active per month, and five million active players at any given time. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
xp1337 posted...
...Yikes. That had to have spawned a few conspiracy theories. Still, the match was 24 hours long, right? Extended for fairness' sake, but I imagine extending into the night just meant extending into European Draventime. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
DidYouMWISMe posted... xp1337 posted... hahaha --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... xp1337 posted...Nope. No extension. And yes, the conspiracy theories were everywhere. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
No,
the match wasn't extended because Allen said it was just a
catastrophically unlucky server fail. That is why we will get a Draven
vs. Link 1v1 match tomorrow, if Draven wins. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... xp1337 posted... Nope. Link lost in a match that was effectively run for 22.5 hours. And yeah, there were definitely conspiracy theories. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Big update for Draven. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Also guys, don't look now but Draven just went nuclear. Almost 100 votes in a single update, Christ. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
God reddit needs to leave us alone. --- Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Official Site: http://www.smashbros.com/us/ |
AxemRedRanger posted... Nope. ...What the heck is the justification for that? Isn't it precedent that matches are extended to cover for downtime? I'm not a Link fan, but maaaan, if I had Link in my bracket, I'd probably speculate that whoever the new CJayC is just wants the Reddit traffic to keep coming. That or he's just sick of seeing Link win contests. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
I'm
watching it! Yeah, that was an awful update, but those have been
happening here and there. It's a problem if it becomes consistent! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
DidYouMWISMe posted... AxemRedRanger posted...Nope. XD --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
He needs to keep those level of updates going to build a sufficient lead. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
DidYouMWISMe posted... AxemRedRanger posted...Nope. That's exactly what the board did, yep. And the justification is that all the voters who wanted to vote during the downtime came back and voted right after anyways. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... AxemRedRanger posted...Nope. Allen said his hands were tied because of legal issues with the fact this was a prized competition. Essentially, because the site wasn't *fully* down and it only lasted an hour or so (more like 90 minutes), he couldn't touch it. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... AxemRedRanger posted...You'd fit right in at board 8 a couple weeks ago!Nope. That was exactly the reaction! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
DidYouMWISMe posted... OnionOfMystery posted... I was referring more to the "LoL kiddies only play one game lel". Do you actually think that many people all have never played a videogame in their lives except LoL? Do you think we don't know who Samus or Link are, and that's why we voted Draven? Draven winning is simply a more humorous outcome, especially to see how little people actually know about LoL in some of these topics. --- The official OnionOfMystery of Reality. "Vaan is like a Robin in a universe composed entirely of Batmans." |
Both of them falling off there. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
It's
almost out of our hands right now. The well is gonna be near dry for
the next hour or two and that rally is not gonna budge. C'est la vie...
for the moment. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Finally another sub-200 update for Draven, but Snake can't capitalize. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... AxemRedRanger posted...Nope. No. Sonic/Tidus 2002 was only like 12 hours. Plus many matches in Spring 2004 had hours of downtime because of major site restructuring. |
KanzarisKelshen posted...
That's silly logic. The diehard fans would come back, but I'm sure some casuals -- or those who just wanted to access GameFAQs and would've voted before accessing a FAQ for the game they're playing -- might have not voted. You can't guarantee that 100% of the people who tried to access the site during that downtime actually came back. And in a close match it only takes a handful of no-shows to swing it. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
I'm 17 but in 1st grade, at this rate how many votals will be there? --- Rapid Spin Critical Hit. |
Czill posted... Finally another sub-200 update for Draven, but Snake can't capitalize. He's not going to be able to. GameFAQs doesn't have enough traffic right now to actually cut here. Barring more outside involvement, all we can do is wait until traffic is up. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I'm
just hoping that's Snake's US TZ vote isn't as strong as many
hope.Although I still think Draven has another few gears if things
start to get really tight. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Yes,
that's why we're getting the bonus match to clear all doubts. No one
knows what would've happened, but if Draven wins this (not yet certain)
we will see who's the true king of GameFAQS tomorrow. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
xp1337 posted... Czill posted...Finally another sub-200 update for Draven, but Snake can't capitalize. The Twitter machine has slowed to a crawl too. I guess we need to wait for EU peak time. |
