GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1244
Yeah
why didn't you mention that Facebook advertising earlier? Well, maybe
it's a good thing I didn't bankrupt myself buying Facebook ads for CT. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Gains
have really slowed down. I might have been tricked into being hopeful
again if there were a few more hours in the match left! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Serious question here: Why wasn't LoL included in this contest? I mean, it is a hugely popular game and since this is a popularity contest, I figured it be included. --- GameFaqs....a place where people are friendly and nice to each other? You must live in a fantasy world. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Fedor > Anderson True, but not by much. Anderson wasn't too far behind Fedor until he lost to Weidman. Now Jon Jones has arguably surpassed them both, or will soon if he moves up to HW as he's claiming (I'll believe it when I see it), and actually succeeds. But for pure entertainment they can't match Anderson. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
muttal posted... Serious question here: Not enough nominations (seriously). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
ZFS posted... http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/bge20/r4/65.jpg A glorious one. Holy cow. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
muttal posted... Serious question here: Not enough nominations. Some people used to think he kept it out intentionally to avoid games that have large rallies, but that doesn't really fit with the comments he has made regarding Undertale's rallies. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
XIII_rocks posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...Guys hear me out on this. I will do this if FFVII/Undertale is close. I was going to donate a few grand to charity for Christmas but this is a more worthy cause. I'm not joking. --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer (edited 12/8/2015 7:44:52 PM)report |
What date is the last match? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Time to start saving up for CT's warchest for next contest. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
creativename posted... What date is the last match? Finals is on Dec 15. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
ItGetsWorse posted... XIII_rocks posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...Guys hear me out on this. Well, if you're being serious, I suppose the issue is how do you make sure the people vote for FF7? You'd need a good visual ad with FF7 characters. I don't think text ads would work to select only FF7 fans. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Less than 4,000 to 120,000. --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |

creativename posted... ItGetsWorse posted...XIII_rocks posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...Guys hear me out on this. Facebook has a ludicrous ad targeting algorithm. Pretty much anyone with friends who are posting about the remake will get targeted. --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |

Votals are plunging now, that last update barely got 300 votes. Looks like Link/Draven will hold on. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I
don't know if it's still true, but there was a documentary a year or
two ago where they said Facebook-clicks that were ad-purchased were
largely clicked by people overseas whose job was to, well, click things.
I don't know how productive buying an ad for these contests would
be... ...ah screw it, I'd love to see if Facebook ads actually work here. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
This
match is still pulling in more votes per update at this time of the day
compared to the same time period during the SMW match. At this point
in the SMW match, we were hovering around 200 votes per update while
this match is still managing 300 votes per update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

The ads are just external links. --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
Went to sleep when RBY was leading by 6500 and had all but written off Undertale... |
Oh God what have I unleashed upon this contest Shoulda kept my mouth shut --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Holy f***ing christ at these votals. Did something happen or did tumblr just go ballistic? --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
ItGetsWorse posted... creativename posted...ItGetsWorse posted...XIII_rocks posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...Guys hear me out on this. Hmm. This is very interesting. You will get people who complain if you actually try this, but you'll have cheerleaders too. I mean I still don't know if your serious or can pull this off. But hypothetically I think it wouldn't be a nice way to beat OoT. But FF7 would beat Undertale naturally so is don't see a problem with that. Of course FF7 might be the underdog to Melee, so that's a problem...! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I find the idea that the contest could become a facebook ad standoff hilarious. |
The thought of FF7 buying a win is hilarious. I say go for it. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
I
think it would be really effective though. If you put "Vote for Zelda
in the Best Game Ever tournament!" as the text ad with a little Zelda
pic, and you were only paying for clicks I mean... I really doubt anyone
would click on it and NOT vote at that point. And you would be able to
track how many clicks you have. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I have a very disposable income so f*** it. I'll only shell out the money for FFVII though since I'll mark out so hard if it's the first poll option to successfully stop a >2 round rally --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
We passed Link/Draven awhile ago if you pretend Shepard wasn't there >_> --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
This
result does show that Undertale can be vulnerable, though. I think
either FFVII or OOT can get it if the right parties get in on this, or
if the site-wide banner is effective. Heck, if the site-wide banner is effective enough (and is up), we shouldn't sleep on Mario 64 giving Undertale a run for its money. It is freaking Mario and there will be huge Melee rallies next to it. AFF should seriously boost Mario in the second match. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
UltimaterializerX posted... We passed Link/Draven awhile ago if you pretend Shepard wasn't there >_> If Shepard wasn't there Link would have won. Shepard was kinda important in that match. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

Like can you just purchase a 24 hour ad and make them blitz it like crazy just for one day? --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
ItGetsWorse posted... I have a very disposable income so f*** it. You really should do this. It would actually be the funniest thing ever. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
The
FF7-Melee match will be very interesting. If Melee wins, a
Melee-Undertale match would be quite the rally war (which Melee probably
loses, but w/e) |
I'm dying over here now that people are actually talking about doing it. This would be so funny. I wish Facebook still handed out free $50 credit like they did a couple years ago. I got a couple coupons for my Pages like 3 years ago but they've since expired. They don't really pass them out anymore. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Underraly, plucky underdog Ocarina, beast Chrono (R.I.P), Melee rallies, 4chan ati-sjw rallies, Junichi Masuda, facebook ads. This contest has it all. |
One problem with targeting is that the more targeted you get, the lower the number of people who can see your ads. So this might be hard to pull off, as who knows how many targeted fans you can reach, and then you have to get them to click. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Undertale overcame all the odds today. I seriously doubt even that Facebook plan would do much. |

It's really easy actually and you can target fans of specific pages. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
A
rallied SSBM probably beats FF7, though. Although if you buy FF7 a win
against SSBM, the spill over might take out Undertale as well because
even non-gamers will recognize Mario (and pushing the SSBM ralliers also
helps Mario 64). --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
What date would FFVII/Undertale be again? --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... I'm dying over here now that people are actually talking about doing it. I'm not seeing anything against it in the contest rules, though I could be dead wrong about that one. Buying votes is how every election has been decided for decades anyway, the thought of this actually hitting a GameFAQs poll is so funny. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
