GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1240
Two bad updates in a row, though at least the lead is over 3000 For whatever small comfort that might be --- Such a lust for revenge |
meanwhile Mario 64 has spiked the last two updates |
If
Undertale does get a cut before we reach the later part of the night
vote, it will have to happen soon. The rally is going to die off
overnight and Pokemon will be able to use that time period to build up
its lead again. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Mario
World started getting dunked on around now (a little earlier,
technically). Makes some sense that Undertale has started to catch
steam. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
And there it is. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
*ahem* SMELL YA LATER is that how it goes --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
I'm
still giving Pokemon a sliver of a chance here, but it needs to pray
for a specific set of circumstances - namely, that this bigger opening
salvo has dipped into Undertale's finite vote pool and will result in a
weaker Undertale day vote, and that Pokemon rallies will intensify later
on. But man, it's hard to see that ray of light when you look at Undertale's past results and take in the ferocity of its comeback. We're talking about a three thousand vote lead right now. It beat Mario World by almost ten. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Man even now Pokemon technically has a nonzero chance yo but I could never understand you calling it the favorite pre-match <.< --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
Has anyone found any big rallies (like 1000 notes+?) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

I
will say one thing, some people have been very diligently DOWN-voting
the threads on reddit. You have to go back quite a few pages to find
them now. There were 3 threads with some +40 votes a couple hours ago
that are sitting around +10 votes (or less) now. And then new threads get made (presumably to get one to higher +vote totals) but it seems like some people are getting annoyed at all the threads. Maybe pokemon will benefit from the subreddit getting fed up with the gamefaqs threads and removing them. Or perhaps they will just sticky a thread about it and remove the rest and increase the rally potential from reddit :/ --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |
LordoftheMorons posted... Has anyone found any big rallies (like 1000 notes+?) http://undertaleheadcanons.tumblr.com/ Has reposted both of the major rallies. Interestingly, it looks like reposing the second one was what really picked things up. It had already reposted the first one a bit ago and it didn't seem to have as much of an effect. Although now that first one seems to be surging ahead in notes, so who knows. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar.

Karma Hunter posted... Man even now Pokemon technically has a nonzero chance yo but I could never understand you calling it the favorite pre-match <.< I saw it use the Undertale rally to go from 52 to 62 against SMB3, and then hang nearly 80% on Sonic. It was being helped almost as much as Undertale itself! I simply looked at the nature of (what I perceived to be) the average Tumblr user and saw someone who liked Pokemon a LOT, and the earlier matches clearly indicated that. I was wrong, but I don't think I was being illogical. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

LordoftheMorons posted... Has anyone found any big rallies (like 1000 notes+?) 440 notes is the biggest i've seen so far. Ah, the one squirrel found was bigger.

Interestingly,
it seems as if the solely Undertale devoted blogs tend to give off huge
bursts of votes, but then die off rapidly as well, not spreading the
rally as much. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! (edited 12/7/2015 11:27:16 PM)report |

CaptainOfCrush posted... Karma Hunter posted...Man even now Pokemon technically has a nonzero chance yo but I could never understand you calling it the favorite pre-match <.< I think you're taking the wrong conclusion from that - you're not being illogical in thinking the average tumblr user likes Pokemon a lot. They clearly do! This is probably the highest backfire rate it'll have except mayyyyyyyyybe against OoT, though I still don't expect it to be very high in the grand scheme of things. But when you're being explicitly rallied to vote for Undertale and you're primed to vote, you may not even notice - or care - about the big POKEMON next to the game you've already implicitly agreed to vote for by clicking on the link. Rallied voters from pretty much anywhere are very droneish, overriding what would be even their natural proclivities to a very large degree. --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |

I simply looked at the nature of (what I perceived to be) the average Tumblr user and saw someone who liked Pokemon a LOT, and the earlier matches clearly indicated that. I was wrong, but I don't think I was being illogical. The problem is that rallied voters are so strongly primed to vote for what they're being asked to vote for. I'm sure if a neutral BGE thread was floating around gamefaqs a ton of them would vote for Pokemon (well, at least if this rally had never taken off), but now they're part of a bigger campaign. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
think it's a mistake to measure backlash in terms of how many of the
rallied vote for Pokemon instead. Far more probably simply don't vote
or, more importantly, don't reblog. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Right,
it's the reblog that causes the rallies to have a spider-web effect.
Reaching increasingly more people as the news gets seen by new fresh
eyes. I don't know how many notes the UT rallies had during the SMW match at this point though so I don't know how to judge how "successful" these are comparitively. --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |
Well
damn I'm depressed. I was really praying that CT would make the
comeback. All I can root for now is that OoT beats Undertale. My bracket
looked so promising too. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
I think one of them had in the 15-20k note range and another two or three had ~5k Of course, some of the same people could have liked/reblogged multiple and both likes and reblogs count as notes, so those numbers are inflated by some factor of order 2 --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 12/7/2015 11:36:34 PM)report |
3000 vote barrier down :( --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... I think one of them had in the 15-20k note range and another two or three had ~5k Are those numbers from the end of the 24 hour match? Or from this point 2.5 hours into the match? --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |

And
they probably gained their most notes when UT really started to take
off, which is still about 8-10 hours from now if it follows a similar
time table. --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |
48 vote cut. I suppose that was inevitable. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
LOLContests posted... One of the major tumblrs rallying in the past rounds just posted a Pokemon challenge earlier today to win shinies. It's possible that they might not reblog any rallies. Yeah, turns out they don't care. Game over. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Don't care like doing nothing or don't care like still rallying for Undertale? Small plus: small gain that update --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Pokemon wins an update! 12 votes doesn't really offset the 48, but it's something. --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |

try to get serebii to post a link to the match in their page i think they did that once before |
https://www.facebook.com/OneMillionPokemonFans/ anyone with facebook willing to give this a try? |
Probably
better to try tomorrow so it doesn't get lost in the middle of the
night. Early though in case in takes them a while to respond. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Fr0zoN posted... https://www.facebook.com/OneMillionPokemonFans/ anyone with facebook willing to give this a try? are we really sure it'd even work if RBY is still up by 3000-ish (if someone else wants to try it be my guest) also a decent update, that seemed like an undertale dropoff though --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
Undertale's getting steadily over 200 votes per update. It was not
doing that well in any of its previous matches. Impressive that
Pokemon's actually holding up so well. I presume it's getting rallied
too? |
Undertale still getting cuts on Pokemon at the rate it is... jesus christ, how big IS this fanbase? |
Magmortar75 posted... are we really sure it'd even work if RBY is still up by 3000-ish Another reason to wait until morning Facebook posts won't have the staying power to benefit from the full 24 hours anyway --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... Don't care like doing nothing or don't care like still rallying for Undertale? imagineyouricon. Almost every major push in the past rounds has coincided with them reblogging a rally. They posted a rally link ~20 minutes ago. They don't make posts frequently, and the ones they do are fairly small, so it tends to stay at the top a while. They did have the decency to make a bunch of posts after it this time though so it got shoved down the page! --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar.

One, two, Undertale's coming for you --- Big Black Cannon #UnitedAgainstBronyism #BringBackBatista |
nopenopenopenop posted... Undertale still getting cuts on Pokemon at the rate it is... jesus christ, how big IS this fanbase? It has a sizable hold in almost every single "problematic" fanbase (MLP, Homestuck, Furries, SU). So quite a lot of votes to draw from. |
Ugh no luck on reestablishing the 3000 vote barrier --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
At least pokemon is taking SOME updates so there is a little bit of back and forth going on. --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png |
LOLContests posted... LordoftheMorons posted...Don't care like doing nothing or don't care like still rallying for Undertale? Oh never mind, they just reposted another rally to make up for it! Edit: It is interesting though, that falling down the page that like had such a drastic effect. Pokemon started gaining again as soon as the rally post went below the fold, and Undertale didn't start gaining again until they posted the new rally at the top. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking?
