If this were Shepard we'd be seeing some Link-tier cuts here.

Oh well, gonna have to settle for 41 instead.

Haha, go Snake.

There's been too many hope spots for me to believe in this. But he's not just folding which is nice.

Snake only gonna get better from here. But like I said, he's still essentially powerless. The match is in Draven's hands.

Later than Link, but Snake is looking like he can sustain cuts now. That's encouraging.

What happens when Draven's rally falls of the first page? Does he get another one, or do they have to wait until it's completely gone (and when would that happen?)? This should probably affect our plans.

From what I heard if it drops low enough (3rd page?) they can make another topic, but again it is up to the mods.

I'm not sure how the championship will affect things. It could buff their rallies a lot but if the rally falls down, the championship threads should make it hard for a new one to climb.

Yeah, we're just waiting to see how the championship affects things. We don't really know what'll happen, you can argue from both sides.

I mean, we're assuming it helps Snake because otherwise there's nothing to talk about, but...

Is Samus considerably weaker than Snake now?

Or did she get mostly abandoned to support Snake like how Seph was last to support Mewtwo?

The good news about twitch.tv is that anyone posting links is going to get ignored or possibly banned from the chats. Spam bots finally serve a purpose after all these years.

The bad news is that it will also likely put more traffic on the damn LoL Subreddit.

Samus is obviously abandoned. In no possible world does Snake nearly double her.

I still think Snake/Samus is a debatable match it's just this match was never going to give meaningful data on it.

Yeah, but the championship matches are streamed on twitch

Twitch gets thousands of viewers that don't visit reddit. People spamming the link in there in typical twitch chat fashion might be just as effective as a reddit rally.

The streams for the championships might affect things if people see the links. Twitch chats with heavy traffic scroll by super quick and are heavily monitored to begin with.

You speak as if you've never seen a twitch chat on a remotely popular stream, let alone one of the biggest ones.

#89 | xp1337 | Posted 9/15/2013 6:50:42 AM | message detail
The arguments for what the championship does go like this:

1. It brings increased traffic that will see the rally topic, Draven gets boosted up to even higher levels, Snake is a goner.

2. It causes discussion of the championship to dominate which crowds out the rally topic causing less people to see it/care, Draven weakens, Snake has an opportunity.

If it's case 1, discussion is meaningless. So we're kind of forced to assume 2 if we want to act like there's anything worth discussing here.

So we got Hayter, Kojima, and Trent Baretta to tweet for Snake. When exactly are the bulk of their fans supposed to see those?

Yeah, but I still think that sort of culture will hopefully result in people tuning out or ignoring people spamming links to our poll.

But as I said, this brings up the problem that people aren't just going to be talking about the stream on Twitch. They will still probably be talking about it on their favorite sites, like the LoL subreddit or the official League forums.

Not just twitch.tv, but Azubu.TV and Youtube rallies. Also that means increase traffic on the lol reddit and lol forums.
