GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1229
transience posted... blog post? There was nothing direct. On one of the rally posts, a guy said another blogger he speaks with was getting death/rape threats over the rally. Said he really had to think about whether to rally today and decided to do it because he loves the game and what it stands for, or something. I wish I had bookmarked it. It's secondhand so I take it with a grain of salt, but *if* it's true I am disgusted. I'm making sure to stay positive so I refuse to troll or whatever, but I'm really hoping it's either not true or just a random resident scumbag that no one takes seriously anyway. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Undyne posted... ....Board 8 is all over my dash. I have yet to see a single rally post show up, but posts about B8 topics and posts are everywhere. Oh boy, more people s***ting on us --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Found it. http://the-lady-heiress.tumblr.com/ Anonymous asked: Do you plan on posting another undertale rally for voting tomorrow (I think it actually starts in a little over an hour)? I know a lot of people on gamefaqs have expressed dislike for rallying but like. You're kind of supposed to rally, lmao, that's sort of the point of these kinds of polls. Although if you want to stay out of it this time, I understand! But yes. Rally? Or no rally? (( Sorry for delaying the answer to you, college exams got in the way ^^; …Anyway, last time some fanboys tracked down mine and the person I asked to reblog my post’s blog; twisted as it is, they sent threats of death and rape to them instead of me, it was completely nonsensical. Besides, I think evenUndertale fans would rather vote for SMW because of the nostalgic factor. )) This seems credible, especially given how B8 acted today. Just a total disgrace if it's true. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... Favorites! Winners in bold. Nice work! So that's only 6/16 time the favorite won. I'm surprised FF7 was favored in 2009 after Zelda won the Series contest and Link being a step above Cloud many times. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Oh yeah she was one of the ones posted about on the board last time. Probably is true. Ugh. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
yeah
I'd believe that. but I also think it was probably one of our trolls,
like bracketentry or whatever. we've picked up a bunch of those that
have really tanked any chance we had at respectability. --- xyzzy |
MWC would be my first guess if it's one of ours Could be a visitor too though --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
We know some single idiot can happen in literally any community. Fact is we also know it may have been someone trying to manipulate the person into making a story of it to hype Undertale. B8 has done that kind of thing before. So why should we care...? It's absurdly non-representative. LeonhartFour posted... FFVII was the favorite in 2009 because LttP was almost certainly supposed to be there. Not as many were as certain that FFX would be there. Ahh that makes sense. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... So why should we care...? It's absurdly non-representative. We know that it's nonrepresentative, but apparently the rest of the internet can't see that :\ --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Seriously,
there are so many troll topics asking to get posted on tumblr and make
gamefaqs look terrible. It's very likely that those users just want
Undertale to win. |
that kind of thing adds to the rally. it moves from a fan movement to an anti-idiot movement. anyone can get behind that, --- xyzzy |
Yep Don't worry though Allen says there's no anti-gamefaqs component --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
transience posted... that kind of thing adds to the rally. it moves from a fan movement to an anti-idiot movement. anyone can get behind that, Yeah that's why I'm sure that BracketEntry and InsaneGamer are spamming dumb topics on purpose. |
I'm
a bit confused about InsaneGamer. I was sure he was false flagging, but
he actually put up several of the (failed) SMW rallies on reddit. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
love how people are acting like we can control the content of what all
our users post. It is no different than me tying the tumblr undertale
fans to the otherkin and social justice weirdos over there. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
also
I'm surprised the person throwing the death and rape threat thing
around didn't ask people to donate to their patreon or something. that's
the in-thing now. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
InsaneGamer actually just has issues BracketEntry not so much --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Yep Allen's recent posts have been strange in general. He's been very defensive (and somewhat snide) from the word "go," even back when Undertale had only beaten Mass Effect 3 and virtually no complaints were occurring. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
I
hate how one idiot/troll can paint us all as monsters, but the dozens
of people I saw in the subreddit rally thread outright stating that they
were only voting Undertale to piss us off (with some getting like fifty
upvotes)aren't enough to tarnish 'the polite fandom' Ah well --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
SecksThaNemesis posted... I love how people are acting like we can control the content of what all our users post. It is no different than me tying the tumblr undertale fans to the otherkin and social justice weirdos over there. you are the absolute last person that can claim innocence here! --- xyzzy |
Allen is right to be snide. we've been awful. --- xyzzy |
TheCodeisBosco posted... LordoftheMorons posted...Yep He knows people were going to start complaining more in later rounds --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |
Well, Allen (unlike the ralliers) should actually know that the majority of the bad posts are not coming from B8 regulars --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
transience posted... you are the absolute last person that can claim innocence here! since the first match everything i've posted has basically been sadness at contest matches being ruined, and everything on the first day was largely me f***ing around anyway. but that's irrelevant, because how are you guys supposed to control what i post? how is it fair that everyone else gets blamed for what i post, while the undertale fans are just super passionate about their game even though a vast majority are like 'voting to see tha salt' it's stupid. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
transience posted... Allen is right to be snide. we've been awful. ugh, this is so bad. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
transience posted... Allen is right to be snide. we've been awful. Even back in the first round, though? I didn't think B8 handled Undertale > ME3 poorly at all. If anything, I mainly saw people who were glad to see ME3 get embarrassed. Yeah, there was a handful of trolls like BracketEntry, but they were already misbehaving prior to Undertale having a match. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Like
I don't think his post was bad as a response to the BracketEntries of
the world, but - let's not kid ourselves here - the rally is no longer
just about pushing a beloved game --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Ulti
is mostly the only one still perpetuating the politeness and passion of
the Undertale fanbase at this point, and it's not hard to figure out
why. Nobody wants to be Draven 2.0. Draven was a heel! Undertale can't
be a heel because Ulti's not a heel! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/1/2015 8:38:10 PM)report |
Finally,
an SMW cut. Unfortunately that last Undertale push has pushed us
slightly over its vote margin on Fallout, though not the percentage. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
A cut? SMW CAN DEFINITELY STILL PULL IT OFF GUYS --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
finished my playthrough of Undertale. Shame that such an average,
underhwleming game is causing all these problems. At least with Draven,
it's easy to legitimitely hate the steaming pile of ass garbage League
of Legends is, Topic here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/72899182 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Brave, brave performance by SMW. Pokemon will avenge this. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
Updates remaining: 5 Undertale's lead: 9464 Votes per update required for SMW to win: 1892.8 I think we can do it, guys! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
kind of wish reddit would come back and troll us. Then Gamefaqs will
think Undertale is another Draven and try to counter that. |
Let me phone my brother, he can be one of the .8s! --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
oh man if TP wins Super Mario RPG might be the only Mario game to get past round 3 let's do it --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
...aaaaand anti-cut --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
TheCodeisBosco posted... transience posted...Allen is right to be snide. we've been awful. there was a lot of 'oh god here we go again'. to be fair, a lot of it is 'our contest is about to be ruined', but that's exactly what Allen is getting at. it's not 'our' contest even though we want it to be. --- xyzzy |
Noooooo TP needs to lose so I can keep my guru bracket alive until CT kills Melee Same with MP ...even though those are my favorites in each of the matches --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LeonhartFour posted... Ulti is mostly the only one still perpetuating the politeness and passion of the Undertale fanbase at this point, and it's not hard to figure out why. Nobody wants to be Draven 2.0. Draven was a heel! Undertale can't be a heel because Ulti's not a heel! You mean like how there's all the B8ers acted like wounded victims when there's been a ton of awful topics and posts (coming from lurkers, new guys, and B8 regulars alike) since the second round No one wants to admit they're the heel --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/1/2015 8:43:15 PM)report |
Who is ashamed of their words and deeds? --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." |
Undyne posted... Who is ashamed of their words and deeds? Everyone who played MGSV. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transience posted... there was a lot of 'oh god here we go again'. to be fair, a lot of it is 'our contest is about to be ruined', but that's exactly what Allen is getting at. it's not 'our' contest even though we want it to be. so when this happens what emotion are we allowed to feel exactly? just want to make sure i don't do anything that might annoy SBAllen of all people his "feel free to rally for SMW" bit is obnoxious trolling at best. He knows it's not possible. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
SecksThaNemesis posted... transience posted...you are the absolute last person that can claim innocence here! they're not any better than you are with that stuff. the difference is that they're reacting to you (and people like you who are bemoaning the death of the contest) Skyrim/Prime is about to happen and it should be a good one. I'm keeping optimistic. we've got a week until we deal with this again. CT/Melee / FF6/FF7 is an all-time contest day and we should celebrate it. --- xyzzy |
Or associated with heels, at least! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
transience posted... Allen is right to be snide. we've been awful. People were actually quite supportive of Undertale here after round 1. Tracexcalibur who posted the initial Tumblr post posted here and the large majority was very friendly and encouraging towards him. So this isn't really true. I can see how Tumblr may get the wrong idea about us, but people in the stats topic should seriously know better. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Pretty sure all of the stats topic people (and most B8 regulars besides the usual suspects) have been pretty civil I think it's pretty ridiculous to expect everyone to be totally okay with the rally even if it's not against the rules. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
by "we" I don't mean the stats topic. I mean board 8. --- xyzzy |
Mario 64 and TP, toughest vote yet for me, being two of my favorite games. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
I thought we determined who was the heel of this story when it was deciphered that Undertale represented the Monstars --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
