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.


SBAllen posted...
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.


Oh really? Then there is absolutely nothing wrong with Redditors rallying for Draven.

If Ultimate Draven persists the whole day it's a good argument to ban both Link and LoL. Yeah it's in poor taste, but this new rally is pretty much proving LoL is an unstoppable force when they want to win.

Ultimate Draven is the problem. Normal rallied Draven is quite interesting because he has real trends and is genuinely beatable. One of the reasons the Link/Draven match was so highly regarded was because Ultimate Draven didn't show up at any point. As soon as he does, like now, the match is over and there's no discussion to be had.

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.


Except, the purpose of a popularity contest is judging... popularity. Making the upside here that the competition was a complete success! The most popular character will win.

I'm still fairly optimistic about Link tomorrow. This rally will slow down, and I'm pretty sure Draven is still going to lose pretty easily to Snake + Samus. Even giving Draven 20% of Samus's votes, Snake would still be up by 6000 here. This is the kind of power Draven needs to compete with Link 1v1, and I'm scared, but it's not over yet.

An entire gamefaqs contest decided by the unreal stupidity of one subreddit mod.

I don't know if that can be topped.


Actually,the entire contest was decided by the unreal stupidity of OUR MOD in LSD
So..

Yes but Allen did what he did on purpose.

This subreddit mod was just bamboozled by one single fraud post. Getting clowned wasn't his actual intent.

It's definitely not the record for the most votes by a single character in the first 5 minutes of a match. But outside of the first hour, it might be a record.

You clearly haven't read Bacon's essay on the contest. Basically it boils down to him wanting page views, and this will be one of the most popular polls of all time.

Don't kid yourself, Bacon is as happy as a pig in ****. He has the power to stop this through banning votes redirected from reddit, or allowing only registered users to vote.

Draven can be "retired" and make an appearance in a finals match, we did that for both 2005 and 2006.

If the same sticky/official mod topic happens again, Draven should win.

But if not Link will win easily. 1v1 "our savior" Link is basically unbeatable right now, unless this exact scenario plays out again.

No downtime, no Shepard, 1v1 - as long as there's no official mod rally thread: Link, he come to town.

#440 | ZFS | Posted 9/15/2013 11:03:39 AM | message detail
Yeah, I don't think people realize how beneficial these third options are for characters like Draven and Pokemon. It really splits the vote, so giving Link no anchor, no downtime, and his huge popularity everywhere (Reddit included) will at the least keep it competitive. Link's got a great chance tomorrow, regardless of which Draven shows up, I think.
