ItGetsWorse posted... lightning-02 posted...ah bloo bloo because your twitter spam failed both times. At least I know how to get things done. Moreover, rallying for the sake of rallying isn't fun. At all. If you were a huge Vivi fan or something and people were "in" on it, then I could see the entertainment value. But as far as I see, this is some odd form of megalomania--likely to compensate for your inability to change or control anything in your own life. --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
Chie got 39.42% on Draven. Snake is now at 43.40% can chie (or rather, snake) do it? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
MZero11 posted... The Character Battle is one big Internet popularity contest. The Character Battle has become one big Internet popularity contest on exactly two occasions: L-Block and Draven. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Wanglicious posted... okay, so... I don't think the guy did anything wrong. I mean that Genoard post was a hail mary of epic proportions, who could have possibly predicted the subreddit mod would be THAT DUMB to fall for it? As he said, he was just exploiting everything Allen created. Also - lightning-02 never acted like an ass, like Kanzcer did constantly. He actually behaved quite reasonably, and his intent was not "trolling". TheOneAboveAll posted... so lightning-02 for the new Kanz? Kanzcer wishes he was that guy. In his f***ing dreams. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
xp1337 posted... Chie got 39.42% on Draven. First, there is Mewtwo at 41.43% ! |
ItGetsWorse posted... ItGetsWorse posted...lightning-02 posted...ah bloo bloo because your twitter spam failed both times. At least I know how to get things done. For the record I love contests and loved how they used to be under Cjay, I don't like the direction Allen is taking them and I don't believe a number of decisions he's made are in the best interests of the website or the people who enjoy the battles. I'm not out to destroy the contest, just to ridicule this shambles of an end product with the hope he'll improve the formula next time. But sure meglomania, whatever. |
lightning-02 is smurf and I can't believe that idea hasn't caught on. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Wanglicious posted... okay, so... Not me. I don't think I've used alt accounts since 2003. Hell, some people still think I'm LMS! --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Previous Let's Plays: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
And lightning-02 is too competent to be Smurf or, hell, anyone here. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Previous Let's Plays: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
lightning-02 posted... ItGetsWorse posted...ItGetsWorse posted...lightning-02 posted...ah bloo bloo because your twitter spam failed both times. At least I know how to get things done. So basically you just ruined the match for most of the people on this website because you dont agree with Allen's policies. Good job man, good job |

AxemRedRanger posted... Can someone summarize what all happened with lightning_2 and the reddit impersonation or whatever? he's been rallying all contest. the LoL mod was fooled into thinking that B8 was trying to manipulate their polls when... no, we clearly werent' anymore and actively shunning people for it, telling them to stop, etc. insert a not even 2 week old account fake this some more, try to duplicate threads, and manipulate it on purpose while promoting to do that and the reddit mod got tired of it all and decided to sticky his own rally. within 10 minutes the person who made the 2nd neutral rally (not sure what happened to the 1st) came into this topic, confirmed who he was, but it was too late. good man for trying though. he's not getting enough praise for that. not his fault that it was too late and he cleared things up. basically the lesson is this: one person can make multiple accounts to fool a reddit mod into stickying a topic and making the match go from a 630~ vote gap to what's now 11,500+ vote gap. LoL reddit mod got completely tricked even when we were telling him that he was. then instead of trying to fix his mistake he just let it be and well, you see the match as it is now. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Damn, has anyone checked Jennifer Hale's twitter page? Her last tweet looks so damn sad now ;_; --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
LeonhartFour posted... The Character Battle has become one big Internet popularity contest on exactly two occasions: L-Block and Draven. L-Block was an original GameFAQs creation though. This site *wanted* the block to win. The Block was legit popular. I mean it's a Tetris block! Everyone knows what that was. Absolutely nobody outside the LoL fanbase, whether it be GameFAQs or any video game fanbase on the entire planet, has even heard of Draven. Draven is not popular. Not even remotely. He's an LoL proxy, driven by a fanbase that became obsessed with our contests for some reason. A character with no actual popularity winning a popularity contest seems so utterly silly. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
For
the record I love contests and loved how they used to be under Cjay, I
don't like the direction Allen is taking them and I don't believe a
number of decisions he's made are in the best interests of the website
or the people who enjoy the battles. This sentence structure screams Smurf. I know that sounds ridiculous but 16-year-old XIII was obsessed with Smurf and wanted him dead. I know Smurf when I see him. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
MZero11 posted... LeonhartFour posted...transience posted...but I'm not sure why it's cool for one group to do it and not another, just because of its character or its numbers. If you want to take it this route, the only times this character battle extended out of GameFAQs was coincidentally the biggest railed forces to grace the contests: 2004 Starcraft, 2007 L-block, and 2013 Draven. Every other contest stayed within GameFAQs as a whole with little outside rallying. Chief at least had something resembling strength before Halo 3 GAMERFUEL(even I was hyped as **** for that game despite not being a big fan of the series). |
I thought LoL entrants won internet popularity contests like this all the time. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Well, L-Block started off as a GameFAQs thing. It doesn't beat Link without the Internet's help though. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |

So yeah, I mean what did you think your chances were with that Genoard thing anyway? (assuming you are Genoard! Please post as Genoard for confirmation, we can't trust anything these days ^_^) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... Absolutely nobody outside the LoL fanbase, whether it be GameFAQs or any video game fanbase on the entire planet, has even heard of Draven. Why do people keep saying this? Do you actually think people who play LoL have never played another videogame in their life? The game only came out 3 years ago, I don't think it was babbies first vidya for any large part of the playerbase. --- The official OnionOfMystery of Reality.

I
don't think the guy did anything wrong. I mean that Genoard post was a
hail mary of epic proportions, who could have possibly predicted the
subreddit mod would be THAT DUMB to fall for it? after they fell for the allen imp, who never was confirmed to be a mod iirc, it doesn't seem that surprising! As he said, he was just exploiting everything Allen created. Also - lightning-02 never acted like an ass, like Kanzcer did constantly. He actually behaved quite reasonably, and his intent was not "trolling". no, the intent is clearly trolling. even if you dress it up to say that it's exploiting everything someone created, the intent is 100% to troll him to prove it wrong and ruin the contest for everyone enjoying a good, close match. you're falling for the classic heel pretending that everything he's doing is fine, even (especially) the stuff that's wrong. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

For the record I love contests and loved how they used to be under Cjay, I don't like the direction Allen is taking them and I don't believe a number of decisions he's made are in the best interests of the website or the people who enjoy the battles. Let's not forget that Smurf was a rare breed of pathetic user that created multiple accounts to fool people on the board for absolutely no reason (and would then attempt to justify it as having some kind of higher meaning) --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
Last
I looked Snake was only like 1,500 behind. Looks like Draven being
Draven happened. Actually that's a lot of votes in such a short amount
of time so uh what did happen? Did the match get rallied during the LoL
tournament or whatever? --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
A fresh Draven tweet came in. Only a few hundred followers, though. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. May have jumped the gun on signature line two. |
The
worst part is I knew this was going to happen. In the Link match,
someone said of Link, "You don't know someone's true strength until they
lose." This applies to Draven a lot more than Link. Whenever we
threaten to actually take the lead from Draven, he pulls yet another
trick out of his ass that leads to yet another victory. There's nothing
anything in this bracket can do to even remotely match Draven. Just
look at his toolkit that we know of so far: - Subreddit rally that's semi-sustainable and makes Draven elite level - Godly power hour - Untouchable first night vote, making FF7's Total Domination Zone look like a joke - Can delete old rally and eventually make a new one to avoid old thread decay - Biased/incompetent Subreddit mods - Riot employees and announcers that are willing to post/tweet/etc. about the match - Servers always crashing - When the servers aren't crashing, people will rally for Draven ingame - People willing to bribe others to keep their rally thread bumped - LoL tournaments that draws even more attention to the game - Possibly a DDoS attack but I'll chalk that one up to coincidence Most importantly, that Subreddit is the only website that's both large and allows for this sort of rally. This gives Draven rallying power that other non-LoL character can even dream of having. Even those tweets from Baretta, Hale, etc. only added like a thousand votes at best. And even if something overcomes all of this, what happens then? Draven will have ANOTHER trick up his sleeve, I guarantee it. --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |

Not_Wylvane posted... TsunamiXXVIII posted...No...the idea was that the traffic's gotten so heavy that it's gone to read-only. Hey, we have enough issues with reddit going down on its own. I fully expect that if there is even one upset in the Group Stages today at the World Championship, the r/lol subreddit will not even be readable for an hour. Just error paging out. |

Hmmm...maybe. Most trolls are ruder though. But either way, knighting him as a Sith Lord makes perfect sense. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
This
is Allen's chance to win everyone's hearts back, by nullifying all of
Draven's votes right before the battle ends, and thus, ultimately
trolling reddit's community That'd be hilarious to see indeed |
Hey
guys, what happened, about two hours ago, the lead was about 1,300+,
and now I come back to check the results and it's over 12,000+? Wow, where did that rally come from??? --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
GloriousSweater posted... I thought LoL entrants won internet popularity contests like this all the time. it really is amazing how they behave. I dont even know if they are real people or ants at this point. If they are people then the incessant need to rally LoL to victories everywhere is really weird. It's like they need to prove to everyone how good the game is and nothing will stop them. Like they need constant reassurance that they are not wasting their lives on a single game. |
Man, I don't even feel like doing X-Stats anymore. I mean, I still will, but it's going to suck. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

Dark Silvergun posted... Hey guys, what happened, about two hours ago, the lead was about 1,300+, and now I come back to check the results and it's over 12,000+? the thread got pinned and even managed to crack the top 5 of r/all. |
You mean it's going to be awesome. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. May have jumped the gun on signature line two. |
LeonhartFour posted... Man, I don't even feel like doing X-Stats anymore. Honestly, don't bother. What's the point? I'm sure someone else will do it anyway, and even if nobody does it, no one will miss them. The only thing anyone was interested in was where Chester landed, but now that he's not even going to be the weakest...yeah. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Oh.
Haha well I never thought Snake had any chance anyways since I figured
Draven would just pull in 10k votes on him soon enough. LoL reddit
really has way too many visitors compared to this site's voters. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I've
been doing them all contest. Almost feels like a waste not to finish
them, even if the finished product itself will be a waste. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |

I'd almost prefer if he was mocking everyone for their buttears. The phony sense of justice is what's bothering me. And yeah this dude has to be Smurf. My only inclination against that is that Smurf's been gone for so long and seemed to have matured beyond this sort of thing. --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
ItGetsWorse posted... And yeah this dude has to be Smurf. My only inclination against that is that Smurf's been gone for so long and seemed to have matured beyond this sort of thing.

wait. i had no idea smurf was the touhou stuffer. goddamn, it all makes sense. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

no, we clearly werent' anymore and actively shunning people for it, telling them to stop, etc. I know it makes you guys feel good about yourselves to just gloss over whenever people from this board do messed up stuff, but nobody else is going to see it that way. --- "Happiness is nature's way of telling human resources you're overpaid." - Catbert |
