Wow,
well from the looks of that bonus poll topic even Allen thinks this
whole reddit rally stuff is ridiculous since he said the match went from
interesting to finished. I wonder if it means he'll come up with new
ideas/rules for another contest. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
There's really nothing Allen can do to stop it. His hands are basically tied, legally. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
in that case, good job luster. and loading episode 11 now. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
xp1337 posted... Luster did some investigative journalism to discover this fact for us. LMFAO WHAT Can someone post a quick tldr version of this. It's not like the match is interesting anyway. --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
Smurf will be publicly shamed on the next episode of The Show. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Yeah, there's nothing that can be done here. Everything that's happened has been within the rules. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
ItGetsWorse posted... Can someone post a quick tldr version of this. It's not like the match is interesting anyway. After doing some research, I have finally discovered the identity of the Touhou stuffer. Using some archived leaderboards from TRE, I was able to create a list of every single user that was on the leaderboards during the time period from August 9th to August 18th. Out of those users, there were only 3 banned accounts. 2 of those accounts happen to be a yoblazer account and a Strahax account, so they weren't banned for vote stuffing. The 3rd account was Smurf. That's right, I finally busted Smurf as being involved with the Touhou stuffing. When I sent him an email about this, he confirmed that he was the Touhou stuffer. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Strahax and Smurf stuffing for lolicon ...this is the company I am in. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Yeah, I wouldn't blame Allen for anything here. Not something he can honestly mess with. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Well
yeah, I'm not saying he can do anything now. I'm just saying I wonder
if all this reddit nonsense will cause him to see if he can change
a/some contest rules in a future contest. I mean there's no reason to
really think they won't do this kind of massive rallying again if LoL is
present in anything and it's somebody they don't hate (lol Teemo). --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
So it turns out Smurf was a pedophile all along. I should've guessed. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Previous Let's Plays: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
-LusterSoldier- posted... ItGetsWorse posted...Can someone post a quick tldr version of this. It's not like the match is interesting anyway. Luster you are a stud. Can you confirm if this lightning-02 guy is Smurf or if he's just a random dickhead? --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
Actually,
about that Luster. I assume it was the Expert Leaderboards you were
looking at (because Touhou winning a match lol), I didn't think TRE was
archiving those! Or is it just they aren't posted in the stats topic
with updates like Bracket Challenge? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
GloriousSweater posted... Strahax and Smurf stuffing for lolicon the new Unholy Trinity --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
TRE has HTML archives of the leaderboards for every single match of the contest. I asked TRE for those archives. ItGetsWorse posted... Can you confirm if this lightning-02 guy is Smurf or if he's just a random dickhead? Yeah, "lightning-02" is Smurf based on an email he sent me. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
People consider Strahax to be an actual member of the board and not a bot? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Ah, that makes sense. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
The rally is losing steam already and it's still number 1 on the LoL subreddit. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... TRE has HTML archives of the leaderboards for every single match of the contest. I asked TRE for those archives. Wow, props to XIII for sniffing him out This explains so much --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
lightning is indeed the star of this contest L Block>Auron,Vivi>Mario and Squirtle>Cloud...and now this Althought L Block failed,Vivi and Squirtle gave so many WTF moments and Vivi>Mario was the biggest upset...of all time? (not counting L Block and Draven) I don't think he is Smurf,though He wasn't as anti Mega Man as I remember Smurf being and even though he tried to rally for Sonic he..really didn't care he lost to Mewtwo I don't know him too well as I only lurk here off-season but I don't feel like it's him Now that the contest is over,why don't you tell us who you are? |
This GameFAQs contest was literally controlled by Albion-lite. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Previous Let's Plays: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
good job XIII. calling it on the spot when asked. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Draven's
slowing down. I knew those 600 gains couldn't last forever. Link would
have definitely had a chance tomorrow... I'm kind of disappointed we
won't get it not I really wanted Draven to lose at least once before
this ended. Hopefully Snake vs Link is good. --- 9/1/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
ZFS posted... Yeah, I wouldn't blame Allen for anything here. Not something he can honestly mess with. Well actually there is, if they fell for some random guy saying "Please delete your rally threads", the actual confirmed Allen should have had no problem telling to delete the sticky thread, at the least. I mean if Draven was able to create a natural rally thread that's fine, but that sticky was just absurd - and the moment it got stickied it wasn't going to go anywhere, un-stickied or not. So yeah. Allen could definitely have done something. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
KamikazePotato posted... People consider Strahax to be an actual member of the board and not a bot? Bot? No. He's our resident troll. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. May have jumped the gun on signature line two. |
Star
of the Contest is everyone involved in pulling together that list of
people rallying Snake, tbqh. And including them, of course. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
So Smurf is as pathetic as I've said for 10 years. Who is surprised by this? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
-LusterSoldier- posted... The rally is losing steam already and it's still number 1 on the LoL subreddit. Oh my, you're right! It is losing steam! ...Pity that it's still way too late. Unless Snake finds a way to tear away at it at a much higher rate than he did last time, this lead is too big. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. May have jumped the gun on signature line two. |
ItGetsWorse posted... GloriousSweater posted...Strahax and Smurf stuffing for lolicon Pedophiles and...Mermaid-ophiles? Such company indeed. -LusterSoldier- posted... Yeah, "lightning-02" is Smurf based on an email he sent me. Really? Aww. I was hoping lightning-02 wasn't a jackass. Sigh, this contest can't even give us that. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Also, Board 8 making topics on Reddit only to delete them is way more pathetic than their rallying. You'd also have to be pretty dumb to not discuss it privately so you don't get caught. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Someone needs to make a Smurf page on the board 8 wiki. I feel left out not knowing anything about him! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
UltimaterializerX posted... Also, Board 8 making topics on Reddit only to delete them is way more pathetic than their rallying. We never did it -_- |
Bacon took down the bonus poll. I guess he's had enough, too. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
Star of the contest is one of David Hayter or Jennifer Hale right now. i'm not sure which. if only we had some sort of... bonus poll that could make them fight over it.... --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Allen might get in legal trouble if he told the reddit LoL mods to delete the rally thread. And again, you can't really stop rallies. What if the reddit mods refuse to delete the rallies this time? As Bacon said, it's easier just to allow them than to try and stop them. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4!

creativename posted... ZFS posted...Yeah, I wouldn't blame Allen for anything here. Not something he can honestly mess with. I don't really think he could have. I mean, setting aside whether or not he was obligated to step in and clear the record during the Mewtwo match, I'm not sure he really has a reason to intervene on what was clearly some internal rules disaster or whatever. I mean, regardless of the absurd circumstances that led to the sticky, none of it really was GameFAQs's doing. Not really anyway. They just had a bunch of rules that kept them from stickying immediately. That they got tricked on them isn't really a GameFAQs problem on that level that obligates interference. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
LeonhartFour posted... Bacon took down the bonus poll. Wasn't the poll limited for registered only? If it wasn't...then it was very stupid |
LeonhartFour posted... MZero11 posted...The Character Battle is one big Internet popularity contest. It is one though, in the official rules. The only time the Internet actually got involved was L-Block and Draven though. Honestly it's like saying the MLB is ruined because now team are full of Latin Americans and Asians and it's no longer a reflection of American Baseball or something. --- MZero, to the extreme #saltygravy294 |
JJH777 posted... Draven's slowing down. I knew those 600 gains couldn't last forever. Link would have definitely had a chance tomorrow... I'm kind of disappointed we won't get it not I really wanted Draven to lose at least once before this ended. Hopefully Snake vs Link is good. Yeah I was disappointed too, unless the incredibly unlikely event of a mod sticky was going to happen again Draven had zero chance to even keep it respectable 1v1 against "our savior" version of Link. I would have given a Snake a good shot at breaking 47% on pre-Draven Link...against the "our savior" version of Link though, he's getting toasted. All the Link hate has died down due to the Hyrule Screwjob and he's stronger than ever. Link should get at least 56% here. It won't be an interesting match. If Snake breaks 45% it's a moral victory. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Nah, he just got the result he needed. Link/Snake is official now. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Nanis23 posted... UltimaterializerX posted...Also, Board 8 making topics on Reddit only to delete them is way more pathetic than their rallying. Then what happened? --- Rufus Shinra survived a duel with Cloud and kicked all of our asses in the guru contest. |
MZero11 posted... Honestly it's like saying the MLB is ruined because now team are full of Latin Americans and Asians and it's no longer a reflection of American Baseball or something. This is a terrible analogy and you should feel bad for making it. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
OnionOfMystery posted... swordz9 posted...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? Streams come up 1hr before the game starts... |
UltimaterializerX posted... Also, Board 8 making topics on Reddit only to delete them is way more pathetic than their rallying. The guy who posted that here was a Reddit troll. The actual guy who posted the original thread hasn't deleted it, and called on the r/lol mods on their cheating --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Arc doesn't speak English; he speaks life, the voice of a generation.-gamerTai and pigg |
AxemRedRanger posted... Someone needs to make a Smurf page on the board 8 wiki. Not sure if you know this already and are joking... but Smurf practically filed a cease and desist order against zachnorn to have his wiki page removed. He thought employers would somehow trace his real identity to "Smurf" on a random message board. --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
Link/Snake confirmed. --- Congratulation to the 2013 CB9 Guru winner, raytan! But hey, at least I'm #4! Previous Let's Plays: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
yeah,
allen can't do anything here legally. protecting his identity is one
thing, actively interfering is another. the fact that he had to
interfere to protect his identity isn't good, but he minimalized its
effects by just leaving at saying that person wasn't him. here there's
nothing to stand on. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Didn't
Allen say something before about how the contests were uninteresting
because Link always wins or something? I think it was essentially
something like that. Next character contest we could have even more LoL
characters in and end up with like 4-5 MEGA Links if the game hasn't
died down. Kind of makes LAW look good. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
UltimaterializerX posted... Also, Board 8 making topics on Reddit only to delete them is way more pathetic than their rallying. Yeah like mentioned, B8 never did it. That one account that Smurf is claiming to be the owner of claimed he was doing it, but he was proven to be a liar --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Oh my, you're right! It is losing steam! I would probably blame that on Worlds starting at 3:00 PM EST. That was also the same time the rally started to lose steam. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
