Acerac posted... pjbasis posted...Even if this was chrono cross being rallied to win everything I still doubt I'd be excited as some of you guys are. yeah but when does it stop? I mean Undertale takes down Chrono f***ing trigger? cmon man. I'm going to have to get in touch with some people to sabotage the guy who's starting undertale rally posts. He needs to understand that undertale going to round 3 is enough. |
xp1337 posted... I'm with you on this, but others aren't. It might be confirmation bias but I feel like this recognition goes mostly one way with anyone on the side of no rallies being seen as hating fun or whatever. Pretty much. Down with fun. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
GranzonEx posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...Scarlettail posted...RBY over 60%. I blame Nintendo tbh. A weak Nintendo means a weak Gamefaqs. |
LeonhartFour posted... Scarlettail posted...RBY over 60%. That's possibly the best thing to have come out of this. The worst is still what's happening to SMB3 (edited 11/23/2015 2:36:22 PM)report |
Guys, the problem is that http://imagineyouricon.co.vu/ is committed to helping Undertale win/"sticking it to GameFAQS". The initial rally one hour in coincided with them posting the first reblog, and the comeback coincided with them posting the second one. If Undertale ever starts slacking off, they will come in to save the day, so unless we can convince them to back off, the situation is utterly hopeless. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
GranzonEx posted... Blame the admins for making this site pg-13 and killing our userbase This site is PG-13 in legal standing only. The users are treated like TV-Y. Not really a coincidence that most people moved on to sites like youtube and reddit where you are treated like an adult. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I haven't been here very long but I'm liking the new Ulti and his Undertale enthusiasm tbh --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim (edited 11/23/2015 2:37:26 PM)report |
You all need to fill yourselves with Determination, the determination to have Mario World beat Undertale. UltimaterializerX posted... youtube Someone hasn't read youtube comments. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1m2M8JdkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-sJW8mlMA MGS for PS1 looks better than Smash Bros for Wii U-Linetrix (edited 11/23/2015 2:38:16 PM)report |
xp1337 posted... pjbasis posted...Even if this was chrono cross being rallied to win everything I still doubt I'd be excited as some of you guys are. I guess it feels more like...who cares? If CC got rallied to win, that wouldn't really tell me that CC is actually as popular as I want it to be. It just means a fanbase that I already knew existed decided to show up in very disproportionate amounts. No one's denying that Undertale has lots of fans out there. What does it matter if it wins a gamefaqs contest or not artificially? It's not anymore popular than it was when it was losing. I like when results reflect real change I guess. SMB3 > RBY without rallies actually means something. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I'm
going to have to get in touch with some people to sabotage the guy
who's starting undertale rally posts. He needs to understand that
undertale going to round 3 is enough. At this point the guy can stop posting and it wouldn't matter, the contest has become too mainstream to stop the rallying. You're better off rallying yourself (that's what people did with Link) --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
nah the only good thing we have left is a strong showing for Sonic 2 --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Really the scary thing about this rally is that it still appears to be picking up steam. |
UltimaterializerX posted... GranzonEx posted...Blame the admins for making this site pg-13 and killing our userbase Well I mean it took how long for the management to stop going "X is newer than Y, therefore it is automatically more popular on GameFAQs than Y" despite every piece of actual contest-relevant evidence saying Y would be stronger than X? --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
xp1337 posted... pjbasis posted...Even if this was chrono cross being rallied to win everything I still doubt I'd be excited as some of you guys are. Go read stats topic 402. This is not exactly a group of people that goes out of its way to have fun !! I mean I can see where anti-rally people are coming from, I get it, but the target this season is a game that really f***in deserves the love. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... Rallies and outside voters have been in every single contest, dating all the way back to 2002. Why is it suddenly a problem? Compare the poll of the day votes to contest votes. You know full well most of that comes from outside the site. The problem is that it's not that other sites are bigger. It's that 90% of our users don't see the poll anymore. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

ShatteredElysium posted... Really the scary thing about this rally is that it still appears to be picking up steam. If the people responsible have any sense at all, they'll know not to stop just because they barely established a lead. We still have almost 6 hours left for this match, Fallout 3 can come back if they relax now. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
LOLContests posted... Guys, the problem is that http://imagineyouricon.co.vu/ is committed to helping Undertale win/"sticking it to GameFAQS". And thats when Allen needs to show some balls. The only thing to come out of this is gfaqs will be even smaller in 5 years time being rendered useless. So hopefully he'll be out of a job. |

Compare the poll of the day votes to contest votes. You know full well most of that comes from outside the site. We don't have any users left.

Compare the poll of the day votes to contest votes. You know full well most of that comes from outside the site. Regular potd has always gotten waaaaaaaay less votes than contest polls. Outside voters have literally always done exactly what Leon4 describes. Show up, vote for their favorite, leave until they see favorite again. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
437 vote update, jesus mother of god. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
MechanicalWall posted... ShatteredElysium posted...Really the scary thing about this rally is that it still appears to be picking up steam. Yeah but I mean that the amount it's pulling per update is still increasing. Obviously it needs to build a lead before they can slack but with the consistency of the rally, they might not slack at all. It may keep snowballing |
I'm glad the joke game is being rallied this hard. Makes me proud of helping Draaaaaaaaven win the character battle. |
charmander6000 posted... I'm going to have to get in touch with some people to sabotage the guy who's starting undertale rally posts. He needs to understand that undertale going to round 3 is enough. I'll just rally Witcher 3. Since thats the only game i have any sort of power to rally any kind of significant votes |
the
narrative here has really soured me. the 'our contests are ruined!!!'
folks are unbearable and the Undertale fans demand that people call
their game great (it's decent). it's just unfortunate. --- xyzzy |

Of course we have users. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
there goes bracket |
Better
than rallying for Super Mario World is advertising the contest. If we
can get bring in votes from basically anywhere, they will favor Super
Mario World by a large margin. In fact this match isn't over yet. If it can be done in the next few hours, Fallout 3 could still win. |

Why is it suddenly a problem? Compare the poll of the day votes to contest votes. You know full well most of that comes from outside the site. People take less interest on the POTD. When theres a contest gfaqs users take more interest. Also you didn't address my point about this killing off contests for good. IF this was the last ever contest would you be happy? |
transience posted... the narrative here has really soured me. the 'our contests are ruined!!!' folks are unbearable and the Undertale fans demand that people call their game great (it's decent). it's just unfortunate. After last contest, Bacon pretty much admitted he wanted to turn these contests into the GameSpot ones! Not sure why anybody wanted a new contest after he said that. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
tennisboy213 posted... In fact this match isn't over yet this match ended a while ago unless you have bethesda intervene directly or something --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

LOLContests posted... Guys, the problem is that http://imagineyouricon.co.vu/ is committed to helping Undertale win/"sticking it to GameFAQS". Hopeless how? That people will notice an amazing game and play it? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
1000 vote lead now. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
pjbasis posted... Man what a mistake to not let League of Legends in. Haha yeah that would be great. These rallies only make things boring because there have never been multiple entries with that rally power in the same contest. If they're were multiple entities that could do that, things would become interesting again. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
And
like usual the rally that started off as "lets vote for Undertale
because its a great game" has quickly descended into "lets vote for
Undertale because Gamefaqs really hates it and we can ruin the contest
for them LEL" Look for that to be the main probing point of future
rallies. Happening today as a start. Only took 1 round. Nice. |
transience posted... the narrative here has really soured me. the 'our contests are ruined!!!' folks are unbearable and the Undertale fans demand that people call their game great (it's decent). it's just unfortunate. Pretty sure we just love the game. You can have whatever opinion you want bro, it won't offend me. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I believe the people voting for Undertsle genuinely like the game though. Plus jRPG > wRPG --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |

That
was a 400-vote update. The last non-Power Hour 400-vote update
(non-Draven match) was, if I'm not mistaken, TP>Shenmue in GOTD. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs (edited 11/23/2015 2:49:07 PM)report |
I'd be happy if these ralliers would rally for all the good games and not just Undertale! Cmon lads, show me some Persona 4 luuuv. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. http://i.minus.com/iN5ZHjUDyI547.gif |
please please do this and signal boost it, so we can all laugh at more pissed off nerds, like this guy People really need to learn that you de-push something by no-selling it, not by booing it. Has wrestling taught you nothing?? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
SwiftyDC posted... I believe the people voting for Undertsle genuinely like the game though. You're deluded then. If it was only undertale fans voting the game would get tripled by Mass Effect 3. |
Honestly today was a great day for me, all four of my preferred games won. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>SMB3, Sonic 2>Uncharted 2, Fallout 3>ME3, SMW>FFVIII Points 71/80 |
