Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1180

#301 | AxemRedRanger | Posted 9/15/2013 1:17:52 PM | message detail
...Huh.
It just hit me.

Smurf proposed Badass Decay as if it were actually a natural thing on this site and then he massively rallied or stuffed against several of said "badasses" and bragged about doing so using alts we didn't know were him at the time.

He also clearly lied with the zophar account about him and his buddies massively stuffing for Draven in the Jak/Chie match, possibly to trick people into not taking Draven next time. Not many people were considering Draven there though so I dunno. Maybe he was screwing with us for the heck of it. His contest entry was already zeroed out by round 2 so we can't know what he would have picked there.

...I'm beginning to see what you guys were talking about. >_>

Well, it's starting to subside...but not there yet.

Now, if only Draven's rally would subside as well!

Anybody else think Smurf is LMS?

1. It's a fact LMS is a troll
2. LMS is confirmed to live in Ireland
#305 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/15/2013 1:20:32 PM | message detail
LMS is originally an American, but there was a period of time where he was living in India and then moved to Ireland. Meanwhile, Smurf was a native born person of Ireland (unlike LMS).

I guess that lightning hate towards Allen can be explained by the fact he got his bracked zeroed by him
It all makes sense now

So let me get this straight:

Some of the most high-profile close matches and upsets of the contest were caused or at least highly-influenced by Smurf, someone who has been confirmed to have massively stuffed votes this very contest. And while there were new anti-stuffing measures introduced after he was caught and there were clearly big rallies behind those upsets, rallies Smurf claims to have masterminded, that's enough to make me wonder at least a little about some of said upsets. Smurf is also apparently an infamously psychopathic troll that has caused a usermap axe of several long-standing members of board 8 for I'm assuming no reason other than personal dislike and "lulz." And apparently that's not even the worst of what he's done?


Ulti can better elaborate, but he created separate personas for YEARS in order to fool people for no reason. It was legitimately scary.


http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Viper_Vixen

Smurf invented that entire personality, for example *sniffs*

League of Legends is just dominating everything. Apparently lost in all of the hype about Worlds (and our contest) is the fact that /r/LeagueOfLegends just overtook /r/Minecraft for the largest non-default gaming subreddit. I'm really surprised that Draven hasn't spiked even more but I guess these people can't even be bothered to turn away from Worlds for a few seconds.

I think it's Draven > Link > Jak > Mewtwo > Snake > Chie.
Except if Draven gets even more ridiculous (which isn't impossible), it should be the final stats.

Thanks to everyone for posting summaries of the situation in this topic, I've just caught up. Such a shame that an excellent final - could've been a nailbiter if Snake had continued cutting - has turned into a farce. Turbo Draven has swept all before him...

There's going to be so much to unpick and explain in the PCAs and adjusted x-stats for this contest, probably moreso than any other year!

Oh, it's very possible. Once again, remember what's going on right now, and how ridiculously huge it is. That comparison to Super Bowl Factor wasn't an exaggeration.

A few years ago, I remember LMS being like 14 years old. So that makes him like 16 or 17 now.

Also, a few weeks ago, he said that he started his school year again.

Stop being dense. So you don't actually have proof. LMS is a troll and a fake persona (fact) and I think he is Smurf (opinion)

The LoL World Championship stream already has 350,000 viewers. That's 2.5x the maximum number of concurrent viewers during the EVO finals. I still wish that we were dealing with a Link/Snake/Mario finals, but you have to stand back in awe at the popularity of this game.


That is seriously unimpressive for the size of its playerbase.

Dota 2's champsion stream had over a million viewers at one point.

He is also too boring to be a fake...

I really don't buy someone faking himself for years,although I heard there was this Inviso? dude that claimed he was a girl for 8 years or something

What he's getting at is that all of that could be a lie.

I mean this is the internet, people can fake their identity all the time, even here.

Of course he could still just be some teenager, we'll never know for sure.

Renamed the page. Smurf can't claim libel (which he literally tried doing to Wikia admins) when everything on there is a certified fact.

It's similar to why Takfloyd's complaint never stuck.

We'd have to average 880.7 votes per update for the rest of the match to break 200000 votes. Which is not happening now that traffic to the LoL subreddit has dropped off to the point where we can't even pull in 1000+ vote updates anymore.

I'd say this match ends up getting between 150000 and 170000 votes.

Is getting over 200000 something we want? Because there might be a way to restore the vote floods, but they'd be in Draven's favor.
