this is why I'm never going to join the Guru because everyone who wins it is a monster


Now now, if I had won, we would all be guaranteeing Merchant's contest debut at a high price.

Okay, sig changed. Listing LoZ's championships is probably undermining my propaganda efforts, so I'll be listing Link's defeats instead.

Doesn't that sum up Draven's backstory? He lets them go, think they have hope for escape, then suddenly BAM.

So for ASOIAF fans, Draven is then essentially Ramsay Bolton?

And if Link loses again in this next match, you'll have to list that in your sig as well.

I was totally a Sega fanboy when I was younger. To downright absurd levels that I highly regret in retrospect!

I mean, I did know who Vector was because I sure knew my Sonic back then, but still. Vector!

Snake is the official runner-up. Allen has billed this next match as 'Draven's Toughest Opponents'.

Let's play "make your own Reddit insult".

Step 1: Go to
Step 2: Type Butt in the "before" box
Step 3: Generate

Congratulations, you are now butt______.

The reddit folk are what I would call "buttobsessed".

Or perhaps more appropriately, "rectallyobsessed".

creativename, make sure you have your updater set up for the next bonus match. It should also be set up to work with 2 entrants.

Hm yeah okay after looking at it I can concede those absurd afternoon vote updates may have been mostly legit simply because Snake and Samus went way up too. Eyeballing it looks like they got around 20% of the extra votes. Still seems a bit low to me but it's at least in the realm of possibility

Samus easily outdid her vote count from the past 2 rounds today. More than 25% more votes. Which shows you how vast a percentage of our votes are coming from reddit.

The wording in this afternoon's rally thread was extremely favorable to Draven, such that I would expect the backfire rate to be way lower than normal:

We are doing this because we are getting multiple reports and finding lots of evidence of GameFAQs users trying to manipulate votes through deleting posts once they're successful and posting things early so that by the time it counts the post will have disappeared.

This is the only thread that will be allowed for it now.


After reading that, a lot of people who might have voted for Snake or Samus are just going to vote Draven.

And that's another reason Link would have a chance tonight- it's unlikely Draven will get a rally post so favorable to him again, that makes it sound like GameFAQs attacked reddit.

We didn't get a banner for yesterday's bonus match, so I doubt we will get one for this one either. I even asked him to give us a banner for both bonus matches and we didn't get one for yesterday.
