David Hayter literally tweeted in support of Snake against Draven.

can you think of a less likely sentence to describe an event in this contest if you had been asked before it started?

Snake's votes have been skyrocketing since this news. <3

If he somehow loses at this point, i have lost faith in gaming in general. :(

It's exactly what Jennifer Hale said, they must consolidate the votes.
Draven has single support, but Samus and Snake are split. Nintendo and Metroid fans should be rallying behind Snake simply to put him over the edge.

I understand how this works... This is the same method that caused my present government to be elected up here in Canada o_o

Going 1v1v1 was the most retarded thing ever.

Generally one is gonna have a very strong showing, and the votes are gonna be split between the other 2... So...

The rally was always there.

What happened was Board 8 got framed for trying to manipulate it causing the rally topic to get stickied instead of buried beneath a bunch of World Championship (which are just starting apparently) topics. So the added traffic from that + sticky just obliterated Snake.

Board 8 immediately produced evidence that they were framed and it was a straight up lie that they did it but the damage has been done.

Well it is more now than ever.
r/LoL Reddit mods stickied the rally thread on top of Reddit

SBAllen has even acknowledged this

I'm just pointing out the circumstances.

What went on was the rally topic was struggling and getting buried behind the championship discussion, so Draven was getting little support out of it.

Then some "new users" who hadn't ever been seen before went onto Board 8 and the Stats Topic and started "planning" manipulation. Board 8 called it out as a patently obvious attempt to frame the board, but the LoL mods bought it, stickied their own rally topic in response and claimed we brought it on ourselves.

Board 8 immediately provided evidence that the users in question were lying. But even though they did so almost immediately the damage was just too extreme.

Bacon came in later with the bonus poll.

it's seriously something you can't even make up

Ultimately the failing is the same one that has existed for years in these contests: Allowing anyone to vote rather than only active gfaqqers.

Of course it won't change because this gives GFAQs free site hits and thus ad revenue.

It's the reason I stopped caring about these after battle III, and wondered if it was best they stopped doing them.
Got flamed hard for that one <_<

The site has really gone downhill since CJayC left the site in charge with SBAllen.

Regardless of the absurdity in portions of this contest, this was literally the best Character Battle ever just because of the involvement of Hayter and Hale. The sheer amount of shenanigans has made this by far the most memorable one for me too, even over the first one. <_<

Update on "wtf happened" just as a "for the record" thing. An actual Board 8 user was the one who used an unknown account to lie about being the one in a position to "manipulate" the rally. So, it was still a frame, but yeah.

...apparently as a way to make the contests as much of a farce as possible.

And yeah, Hayter and Hale getting involved was pretty great.

EVer since Hayter and Hale joined in, it was instant memorable. I just literally felt like there was no chance of Snake losing though. It shall be remember as the day when even the game cast gave a damn. =3

... Still lost my faith, though. *Kicks dirt*
