My hesitance there was more because it was a counter-rally, a reactive attempt to stop UT, rather than a separate UT-style rally. --- Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If anything, Allen should have an option to SHARE who you voted for on facebook/twitter/snapchat/instagram. BE PROUD of who you voted for.
Instead the vote just dissappears and you forgot if you even voted at all. --- GJ BK_Sheikah ... Copied to Clipboard!

There used to be an option to share on social media, but I'm guessing Allen checked the numbers and saw it made no discernible difference.

This is what the site looked like during the 2015 Best Game Ever contest. Didn't see a social media option to share. And it's especially damming since social media has gotten so much bigger in even 3 years. Also, there was a huge paragraph on the main page "Today on Gamefaqs" dedicated to the contest, hyping it up. --- GJ BK_Sheikah ... Copied to Clipboard!

Isn't nothing actually stopping "rallies" from happening? As I understand it Gamefaqs users made before the contest just get doubled votes. That doesn't stop like 15,000 redditors flooding in to rally, right?

Less to do with rallies and more to do with how the contest is being promoted. The homepage should have a larger / more prominent graphic to draw people into voting, and the small little drop-down we have now should be popping up on every page you visit as a header until you cast your vote. It's too easy to ignore on the homepage, and most people that come here aren't entering through the homepage.

1) This is true of every contest. Round 1 here actually had more close matches than in 2010 I believe. If this is arguing for anything, it's 12 hour matches.
2) No it hasn't. Donkey Kong just beat Leon Kennedy. Come on man. 3) First, your maths are off. Second, even without double votes votals are up considerably. A fraction of what they were but not bad. And compared to PotD numbers, amazing. 4) Nothing stopping people rallying. The problem is no close enough matches have involved good rally material. But hey, maybe you could get Lady Gaga to rally for Bayonetta over twitter, she's a fan. 5) GameFAQs's problems are nothing to do with this contest. This is the most engaged people have been with the site in years. I'm not staunchly anti-rally (screw Draven forever though) but the idea that a contest needs them to be fun is laughable. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah ...

Rallies are definitely more entertaining. Shame nothing really got kindled this time around. I'd totally be up for a Savior of Smash Kirby rally at least so long as we don't get the uneventful series of stomps that we seem to be getting set up for again.
Alternatively I wonder if a contest made solely for new characters (like premiere only allowed after a certain date in a way so we don't get a roster associated with the usual giants to just take the votes in their stead) could potentially be entertaining --- XBL GT: Demon Ninja X2 "There comes a time in every man's or woman's life where they have to make **** up to cover their ass." - Hazama ...

Second, even without double votes votals are up considerably. A fraction of what they were but not bad. And compared to PotD numbers, amazing. Compared to our vote totals prior to the start of the contest, this contest is getting almost twice as many raw votes (before factoring in the registered user bonus). The vote totals of the PotD have taken a slight decrease during this contest. It appears that the presence of the contest matches have reduced the PotD vote totals by around 9%, which isn't a huge decrease at all. The PotD is slightly less visible on the homepage due to the contest matches pushing them farther down on the homepage. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! ...
