So, will this match break the L-Block final for the most votes?


Doubt it. We're still about 21000 votes behind that match at this point in time. Also, the L-Block final ran for 25 hours because the clocks went back one hour because of DST.

well you need chief morale of Mega Man matches.
and he can totally come back from this. there's over 10 hours left.


and yes, the fact that it just got upvoted to high hell to stay up there is awful. really not sure why the first topic was deleted in the first place. similarly not sure why the topic homsar made got deleted either. this one should be deleted and one of those brought back wherever the hell it left off to minimize the damage of the mod error.

Snake is literally going to lose because the subreddit mods can be tricked by a baboon.


Good thing those guys aren't doing things that actually matter then. Could probably blatantly get away with murder if they were the ones trying the case.

Rally thread now #1 on r/lol, displacing the world championship thread. Rally thread is now on the front page of r/all at #20. This thing has 80% upvotes, so it's still rising fast.

Also, the language of this rally topic is much more favorable for Draven than the thread from last night- and it looks like he's getting 85%+ of the votes from this.

Considering how almost every post in there is about loving how much rage there is, I think it's time for Reddit to stop hiding behind their "but we're just voting for our character!" bit. And the "we don't actually care" bit, considering the sticky.

Draven pulls in 1000 votes by himself. Overall, that is a 1430 vote update when you count the votes from the other 2 characters.

Just so you guys know the vote is pretty r*****ed as you can delete cookies and cast votes repeatedly. Which is how they probably got the vote so close in the last 2 hours. Not advocating it just letting you guys know that the voting is flawed. Even if the votes were cast by IP it wouldn't stop people from using a proxy.


Whoa guys they figured out our secret tactic!

lol over

This is the beautiful difference guys
In other forums,my messages got deleted by admins for Spam when I tried to rally Mewtwo
But here? the mods create the rally,sticky it AND create a message at the top

You don't even need to say "we don't care" to be a joke. You are already a joke,a pathetic and sad joke
Congratulations you win,you are the biggest losers in the Internet


yeah, says the people begging CELEBRITIES to rally for them


Yeah because guys like David Hayter have absolutely no connection to MGS


It's about the principle. You're accusing Redditors of being sad for mods of their own game stickying a vote for their character when you've been pestering as many celebrities as you can find to rally for Snake.

Honestly, assuming Snake even can stabilize it, it'll be at a point when he's behind worse than Link was.

Unless the rally is deleted right now or something.

Snake's vote intake is going up, so he's obviously getting backfire votes from voters who refuse to vote for Draven. Being at #10 on r/all helps out Snake as well.

When the contest was being built, we were hoping to get both minor and even major publishers boosting up their games, and even independent game fanbases to rally up for their characters


I'm pretty sure that rallying guys like Hayter counts as exactly what Allen was hoping for out of the contest.

Yeah, the raw numbers are interesting, it's just a shame that we'll never see any other character with such strong rally power because we'll never find another group of people who cares so much about this character battle.

I mean we were even discussing in here how they were trying to frame us.

How f***ing dumb do you have to be?

Why would you take the word of one completely unverified, newly registered poster claiming to be the reddit rally thread starter? Without *any* evidence?

Wow this really ends it. Would rather have Snake/Link tomorrow, I think that could be a great match. Draven is proving here that he wins anything pretty much, unless Reddit doesn't care in which case Link blows Draven out of the water. Either way, I don't find Link/Draven a terribly enticing match-up.

I don't see how you can ask for fairness when you've been getting celebrities on your side and attempted to manipulate their threads multiples times. They've been as fair as possible. You're the one that's been being cheap. It's not their fault they're just so much more popular than Gamefaqs.

More importantly, you'll never find such a large concentration of fans for one game/character. Everything else is too widespread. That's what makes LoL Reddit such a big deal, though they do also care too much!

I just wanted Snake to have the lead, man. That would have been awesome. I knew the world championships were going to cause this domination to happen eventually, that any lead Snake had would be fleeting. But Snake coming back here would have been incredible if he could have held it for a second.

But no. Draven literally doesn't allow us anything at all, not even the remotest slice of enjoyment, no concession on any level. His presence is solely bad for the contest, with no upside.
