I like contests, so yes. They're fun and it's something different that injects a little excitement into the monotony of the board.

tbqh i don't hate rallies and i don't think they "ruined" the contests. they just add another element of unpredictability you have to deal with when filling in your bracket. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm neutral. Contests are usually fun but Best Year in Gaming was such a disappointment that I'd honestly rather it have never happened.

Somewhere between "yes" and "don't care." Most of the magic is gone for me now that rallying is a thing, but I'd say the pros still outweigh the cons, and with b8 and gamefaqs slowly dying anything that gives either a reason to stick around is probably good >_>

Voted yes. I honestly enjoy every contest to some extent. Best Year in Gaming was pretty nice all around except for the clear rig and poor management. CBIX and BGE2015 were completely ruined, though, but what can you do.

YEAH but don't launch it for two weeks yet please SB I'm still on vacation. Sounds like it could be launched as early as next week, based on the topic that SB posted earlier today. SB will probably make several teaser topics that include hints regarding the format of the contest, which is why it probably won't launch before next Friday at the earliest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! ...

It hasn't really been that fun for awhile since most GFaqs regulars stopped caring about the contests, and with the voter totals being so low, it seems the Polls basically been abandoned except for the inevitable rallies.

Or there is no rallying and people complain that the contest is predictable I don't like the implication that rallying is unpredictable here. I mean at bracket time calling the exact source that'll make the push isn't but once it starts that's game over. You'd have more hope of Link losing to Mario. We're at the point where I'd appreciate a boring ass textbook Link win as something that's unpredictable. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard!
