This upswing is benefiting: Undertale Final Fantasy VIII Animal Crossing Life is Strange All by heavy amounts. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Woo, Life is Strange over 20% --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
clearly LeonhartFour trying to make FFVIII look better! /s |
don't know what this is but it's helping my oracle so i'll allow it --- no space all business |
KamikazePotato posted... This upswing is benefiting: It's a massive hipster rally. All the indie/cultish games are benefitting. Except FF VIII, which is still less mainstream than GTA. --- Blasting off |
http://gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=6072&sort=time&type=ASC&num=2 Undertale's been sitting at a pretty consistent 110 votes an update for half an hour. A comeback might actually be possible if Mass Effect's vote totals weren't also benefiting from whatever is happening. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Oh no, is someone using this match as a testing ground? From a quick look it seems to be benefitting Undertale the most, if it was cheating then all four games would have an increased support of about the same. Let's see if I can calculate it better... --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |
I
find it hard to believe that a rally would uniformly help the other
games like this. I think someone has to be f***ing with us. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
The rally is coming from 4chan's /v/ board. --- Congratulations to raytan, the Guru champion for the 2013 Character Battle. |

Man...seriously, internet, next time start this up with more time to spare! This could've been something else! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LOLContests posted... I find it hard to believe that a rally would uniformly help the other games like this. I think someone has to be f***ing with us. The way the poll is set up it could Imagine we had polls like this when Draven was around and the Redit rally. you'd see a crap load of votes for other polls. |
That 4chan thread was only started a half hour ago. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! (edited 11/10/2015 2:35:44 PM)report |
There is a topic on 4chan but it's dated 20 minutes after the influx of votes first started --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Well this is good this is happening so late I don't think I'd want to hear about Undertale again --- satoru iwata |
The only "rally" on /v/ is... not very successful and probably not doing this. And this isn't according to /v/'s tastes anyway. I'd look on tumblr. The benefiting games are all very popular on tumblr. |

I think HM's random PC game ignorance is going to become a recurring event this contest... --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
The
rally seems to be helping Undertale and Animal Crossing the most, from
the time I started calculating they have gained about 500 votes more
than expected. Life is Strange has about 250 while Final Fantasy VIII
has only gained about 100. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |
Is
Animal Crossing really popular on 4chan? SMW pulled in 70% on the last
update I checked. If that's where the rally is coming from it would
imply that the 4chan voters are very split between the two games, which I
find very very hard to believe. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
gotta watch out for Hearthstone could make a run you know --- satoru iwata |
I'm OK with FFVIII being rallied. Look out Mario World --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
FF8 benefiting is by far the most perplexing part about this whole thing to me. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Found it. http://traceexcalibur.tumblr.com/post/132920488133/vote-for-undertale-in-the-gamefaqs-best-game --- Congratulations to raytan, the Guru champion for the 2013 Character Battle. |
Animal Crossing definitely sounds like something that would get a boost from tumblr |
Yes this rally negatively affecting Mario World immediately makes me question Undertale fans what a bunch of loons --- satoru iwata |
ZFS posted... gotta watch out for Hearthstone could make a run you know If Hearthstone gets a serious rally (aka reddit is involved), it is the favorite. |
FF8 benefiting is by far the most perplexing part about this whole thing to me. It's probably more anti-Vice City --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |
I am not concerned with Ocarina of Time losing to Hearthstone let's just say --- satoru iwata |
Anyway at this pace ME3 will still win by around 5700 votes --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |
That tumblr post is from last night. Someone big must have reblogged it. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
charmander6000 posted... Anyway at this pace ME3 will still win by around 5700 votes It probably won't last the entire time anyways. It is just 4chan , it's not a giant subreddit with endless users. |
Draven barely
beat Link with the biggest player concentration on the internet, and
whenever the rallies died, Draven got totally crushed. Hearthstone
doesn't have the goods to keep up that kind of rally for 24 hours. |
ZFS posted... Yes this rally negatively affecting Mario World immediately makes me question Undertale fans what a bunch of loons They're trolls --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Big vote dropoff for Undertale that update. That might be the end of the gravy train. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
clearly Undertale fans are going for the pacifist contest where they don't beat anything --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Draven
barely beat Link with the biggest player concentration on the internet,
and whenever the rallies died, Draven got totally crushed. Hearthstone
doesn't have the goods to keep up that kind of rally for 24 hours. To be fair Link fans were ready for that one, but I figure Ocarina of Time would 85/15 Hearthstone before any rallies so in a 38000 vote match we'll have a 26600 vote buffer to work with which would keep enough moral to counter, if needed (probably not). --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |
gearofages posted... Draven barely beat Link with the biggest player concentration on the internet, and whenever the rallies died, Draven got totally crushed. Hearthstone doesn't have the goods to keep up that kind of rally for 24 hours. I dunno, I mean assuming 40k votes (which is probably more than will actually be cast) and 90% for OoT , that's only 36k votes needed, 20% of the subreddit would be enough, ignoring every other possible sources.

whoever these guys are can we make sure we get them to come back next round --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
IIRC
in 2013 there was some rallying at 4chan for Yuna against Master Chief
early on before it became very clear that Yuna didn't need the help.
They're willing to vote for Final Fantasy over big western mainstream
stuff, if only because they incorrectly figure that will product the
most whining. Tumblr supporting FFVIII over Vice City seems like a "duh" thing to me. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] (edited 11/10/2015 2:56:13 PM)report |
SMW is getting hit harder than any other game besides Mass Effect 3. Odd choice --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Averia posted... gearofages posted...Draven barely beat Link with the biggest player concentration on the internet, and whenever the rallies died, Draven got totally crushed. Hearthstone doesn't have the goods to keep up that kind of rally for 24 hours. you'd need way more than that, considering OoT is likely to siphon off A LOT of votes (didn't Link grab like 30%+ of rallied votes anyway or something?) |
Who in the world is split between Animal Crossing and SMW though? --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Yeah
the thing about rallies is that Link is pretty good at stealing some of
those votes. I'm more inclined to believe that Ocarina of Time would be
even better. You really, really need a concentrated effort. --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
