Tons of rallies were tried that would just get a bad character to the top because its "funny" i wont deny this is a percentage of undertale and draven votes but those votes wouldnt be there without the giant mass appeal of games 2) it brings a legion of trolls and bad feeling to the board with it (and no, b8ers aren't innocent, I'm certainly not) This is kinda outside of "rallies" tho. This is contest season in general. Like undertale probably broughy less garbage users to the board than a 2006 contest did. 3) the rallied entrants actually wins the contest Why rally if you're not aiming for the top? 4) most people aren't in on the fun Man undertale was a blast, and probably the most fun this board has been. I mean the majority of people on this board seem to like it, or at least, played and not hate it. 5) they don't match b8 preference (again, nebulous, since even some people who enjoyed LoL started to get ticked off with Draven) This kinda is the "not the character I like" argument so I'm not going to really touch it OK I'm glad to see a post that actually gets into it a bit. 1) I'm not sure I understand. The rally made Draven and Undertale top-tier entrants in that contest when they were both handily losing their R1 matches. Are you denying that? I'm not saying the intent was to deliberately make a weak character strong but that is what happened. 2) The rally specifically caused that, especially with Draven. And when the board is quieter even a few trolls make a bigger difference than in 2006. We're talking about why people feel the way they do. It can't be separated - Draven's win and the shit it caused are intrinsically linked. 3) Sure, but, again, we're talking about perception and feeling towards rallies. Not the aim of the ralliers/rallied themselves. 4) Undertale as a contest entrant is not Undertale the game. And the game only just came out when the rally happened so less of the board had played it. 5) Absolutely is, yes, because like I said it's not not a factor, just not the only factor. --- Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:936728113] in Undertale ...
