Literally what I said:
Inviso: Can Kuja count on your support again this round? Again being the key word.
NGirl: Yep.
Inviso: Yaaay!
NGirl: :D
One hour passes...
Inviso: You can save again now. >_>
Forty-five minutes pass...
Inviso: *cough*
NGirl: mm?
Inviso: You can save again now. <_<
NGirl: oh right
NGirl :)
That is LITERALLY the extent of "rallying". Me asking a person who saved Kuja in the past if she was going to do again. She told me yes. And I reminded her that she could save again twice over the course of about one hour, forty-five minutes, the second reminder spurring her into saving Vivi.
Now, if that's f***ing harassment, then either NGirl has the thinnest skin on the planet, or this is all bulls***, because honestly, when someone uses two different kinda of smiley face emotes...I don't really consider them being harassed or uncomfortable.
This is why this contest is a goddamn joke, FFD, because apparently one group is fully allowed to coordinate on AIM and make deals with each other and you don't do a goddamn thing about it. But I get immediately called out over something like this. Honestly, it wouldn't bother me so much if you would just ADMIT that you don't give a s*** about being fair and impartial and "cracking down" on people, because then at least it would explain why some blatant bulls*** has gone down ALL contest long.
Seriously, just Sunday we had a morning round with low attendance in the early going. Lefty gives Cecil his usual save, fine. Meanwhile, Shoe, War...the two voters that can usually be relied upon to give Cecil has second and third saves, are MIA. Expected...not everyone can be around for every round. But then Nio, who WAS around, saves Cecil. Nio, who is already considered part of that voting bloc, saves Cecil. Now, Nio has saved Hope, Cloud of Darkness, Delita and Wiegrat...but in my recollection, Cecil has never been at the top of his list. Yet in an instance where Shoe and War weren't around and Nio was, Nio saves Cecil for possibly the first time (I've certainly never noticed him saving Cecil before).
This is why I don't save my favorites anymore. I save characters that have a chance. This is why I have to make sure that people who normally save my characters are around to do so, otherwise I have to trade for them. Because as it stands, this contest is as big of a joke as contest XIII. Seriously, just ADMIT that you're part of that group, FFD. I mean, you might as well with the level of kid gloves you've handled them with, and how you constantly announce how you and Dante are BFFs and he would never do anything underhanded. At least then it wouldn't feel like you're just incompetent and unwilling to listen.
