The scale of rallying in this contest (and the last ones before this) should be blatantly obvious to any long-time saver in smfffc, so I don't really blame anyone for resorting to it, honestly. I wont pin it to anyone, but it is obvious. But for those without the board clout to rally, there is still the authentic way, which when successful (Blank) is actually pretty satisfying. Admittedly it is hard though. It really helps to be unemployed for months, and still able to afford a smartphone <_<
