From: vcharon | #400 That doesn't make sense to me, and generally when things don't make sense they aren't true.
okay well how does this sound; does it make sense that I would lie about people rallying for Marche when I am openly admitting to mass rallying for Ultros, Relm, Rydia, and several FF4 characters earlier in the contest? at a point where admitting to the rallying wouldn't really affect anything either way?
now you might be right. maybe there was rallying for Marche going on. to what extent, though, who knows? all I am reporting is my own view on the matter; that I did not see anyone rally for Marche at any time in a place where a vast majority of the rallying from last contest was going on. and my beliefs on the matter; maybe by the time we got toward the end of the contest, the people who had joined at first just to screw with it actually became invested in the results. . . even if those results were just advancing Marche out of humor.

There were a lot of people, and I'm pretty sure User himself was among them. Warning sign right there. I kind of doubt that every single person voting there was doing so because they had decided to on their own, it's just not really logical to me.
But again it doesn't really matter. I've heard people tell me it happened because of me, not raytan (like how would make sense, since beyond Jmast I was possibly the only person to vote for Marche just because of Marche as a character).

Rallying consists of bringing anyone outside the topic into the topic for the express purpose of voting for who you tell them to vote for. Pretty simple.
I haven't read most of this, but I can't help but feel as though l3fty telling Dante who to save counts as rallying. Me saying this will get me painted as the bad guy, but whatever.

charon, User was in b8anime during the majority of the last contest and I don't think I ever saw him rally for Marche once. he was much more enthusiastic about rallying for Ultros.

Dante is a self-proclaimed mercenary who hangs out in the topic. He doesn't give two ****s about who advances (only that Wiegraf doesn't!), but he isn't being rallied.

That was actually more of a trade though, despite it looking like an order, if it's what I remember.

There is a bit too much partystar slander in this topic. As someone who was around then, and was friends with him, I think the extent of his rallying for Lulu is being overrated. He was never a super-popular user, even if he did participate in Save Mys pretty frequently. He couldn't get that many people to vote for his characters (it would be like charon trying to 'rally for' Seymour, as opposed to active trading, during the prime of the anti-charon era...no offence charon). If anything, partystar may have told Semi to help rally, and since Semi was popular and they were friends, he may have been able to do it. Though I suppose that would reflect badly on partystar, but eh, I just don't imagine partystar would be able do it. And I do think there was some joke voting near the end, and especially in the finals. People thought it was funny that Lulu made it that far, and that she would actually 'beat' Auron in the finals. Man, this is some crazy old stuff. It's been so long, maybe my memories are completely wrong...
Also, Gen, this is probably not bad news for FFX. Seymour will be on life support when the saves go up (sorry again, charon), but all 4 of Tidus/Yuna/Auron/Rikku have the potential to go very deep this contest, and several of them may do so. It would be nice, actually, given that FFX has never been a top contender. Lefty's most recent set of stats (from the previous contest) showed it as ranking in last of the main representatives in this contest (and by a lot, at that, with Yuna's 22nd place being that game's best). None of its characters have been able to put up stats like FF6 or 9, or even the top characters from 4 or 7. Even the most 'popular', Auron, is used as the example of a character who struggles for many rounds in the mid-game. Anyway, considering the new voter dynamics, I could see this as possibly being FFX's year. Assuming the characters don't get hurt by all of this in-fighting between users...
Wow, this was long. SMFFFC, serious goddamn business
