There it is. Draven is stepping up his game. All is not lost for Snake- Draven put up 2 soul crushing hours against Link in the afternoon too. Link wasn't able to resume cutting until he got his own rallies.

no this is over unless something happens very soon

and i don't think that's very likely.

hell, we can't even really fall back to link at this rate

It's pretty true! Your own dudes tricked you into getting what they wanted. Maybe you guys don't care and know that's what happened, I dunno, but it doesn't make you guys look great from the outside!


Pretty much everything you're saying is untrue, so you look a bit silly from the inside!

I'm Jengajam123. I had no plans to delete that post. I merely wanted to give all people who are interested in any of the 3 characters, to know about the poll instead of just sending fans of one character through. Genoard probably wanted to delete that post, so another Draven-only post would take its place.

Proof: In a minute or so, Jengajam123 will post a message about mods rallying for Draven in the rally thread on the Super Smash Bros subreddit.

Link only started making big cuts because the rally naturally died down. This time, Draven's rally was stickied by the LoL subreddit mods because they're idiots. It's done.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why this has to be pinned. If they want to stop vote manipulation, just get a mod to make the topic. Not sure what pinning anything has to do with it, unless the reddit mods are trying to manipulate their own system to make the topic stay on the front page longer.

I assume mods are tired of fighting and that sticky will stay up all day. If it does, expect Snake to be tripled. Minimum. There will be as many as 50K people on the subreddit later in the day. This is over. In a massive way.

One tweet wouldn't do it at this point, even with millions of followers. Match is done.

Gaga could tweet in support of Snake and the consistent support necessary to take a win here just wouldn't be enough.


considering she consistently gets around 8k+ retweets with every tweet she posts, gaga tweeting would literally catapult snake far ahead in a single update. same goes for any other popular artist these days, like 1D (where any member tweeting gets 50k RT's)

He can't do anything now. But I sure hope the rules will be altered for the next contest.

Results should be primarily decided by Gamefaqs users.

Yeah, there's not much Allen can do. Reddit just somehow got really involved in another site's contest, can't really blame him for anything. Even if he wanted rallying to be a thing, he probably didn't expect one site to be so invested in the outcome.

After this, I don't see how anyone can really defend not having the votes be login only. When the mods of another site determine the results of the GameFaqs character battle, you know something's wrong.

okay, so getting this straight now:

- a not even 2 week old account posts with the purposeful intent of breaking the rules.
- he pretends he's somebody else.
- that other person actively comes in here to say who he was AND he proves it.
- 1000 votes just got snatched up in 10 minutes.

Is it just me, or is this contest just a complete sham at this point? As sad as it is to see the LoL fanbois actively ruin the contest, I think it's even sadder how Board 8ers are pestering famous people on twitter, some of whom have nothing to do with video games, in a pitful attempt to combat the reddit drones.

We will never have a contest that we can accurately predict again, unless Bacon limits votes to registered users as he should.
