Of course FFD by his own admission (not that I buy this for a second) claims he would've abstained from the final and only voted Kefka the full ten times because of this exchange making that moot

Pretty much this.

Also, there's nothing "dirty" about asking someone to change their votes. I mean I could ask you right now to vote for Seymour and there's nothing in the rules saying I can't do that. Rallying is bringing in outside forces that wouldn't be participating in order to strengthen your character unnaturally. Inviso is one of the longest tenured players and yes, we have been friends for a long time now so sure, I asked if perhaps he'd consider helping me out (keep in mind, Tidus is my #2 overall and unless something miraculous happens is my best chance to have a 'winner' in this) this one time, or just perhaps abstaining since it wasn't as if he was a Kefka fan. People support stuff in SMFFFC that their friends like and have done that for a long time now.

I dunno, it's not a good look to compare this to outright alt voting and cheating. It shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath. Nothing "tainted" took place here, and as Genny said FFD claimed he voted for Kefka only to counteract Inviso's Tidus votes so technically this gained Kefka more votes if you believe FFD would have abstained (he wouldn't have though).
