@SpikeDragon

I don't think I've ever despised anyone more than you, just for the record

This is so frustrating

I'm simply happy to still be in the top 20 this late into the contest having never made the leaderboard once before this contest.

See I would be too, if winning the whole thing (or even just being top for a day) wasn't an actual kind of sort of possibility

My bracket went up in flames when Zelda beat Snake as I had Snake making the final. I also haven't had a single correct match in the losers bracket yet.

Somehow I'm still in the top 20 but I expect I'll drop from the leaderboard in the very likely scenario of Mario > Zelda

I think both of us ought to express our concerns to the administration if we're fortunate enough to survive till the end. Of course, it's too late to rerun anything at this point, but it should not happen again in future contests.

Several posters publicly bragged about vote stuffing for Tifa with multiple accounts and proxies, which is explicitly against the rules. Their posts were not moderated, and there's no sign the admins ever audited the final poll results.

Taking no action against this behavior will only encourage more cheating in future contests, especially when ever-larger prizes are at stake.

I'm afraid your guaranteed 0 score for Battle 142, a 32 point match, is likely what will end up sinking your bracket, not directly because of SpikeDragon.

I know...feels bad, man... =(

Not if Zelda wins! Barely anybody would have picked her

Otherwise yeah, Zelda is a horrible hateful bitch for beating Snake and then not even seeing it through by beating Mario as well

I agree. If you look at the people ahead of us, they all had Tifa winning the division. Thats a 12 point swing, and were still right up there with them!

Yes, if Zelda wins 142 you'd do very well amongst Board 8. But with that many points at stake, I suppose there's a remote chance a favorites or joke bracket not on our radar might catapult onto the leaderboard. It's happened before in the past...even single digits got L-Block, Draven & Undertale, and Zelda was at 11%+ picked in her latest win. But hopefully luck will be on your side!

Correct. I'm not suggesting SpikeDragon or anyone in the top 9 orchestrated it, but they certainly benefited big time.

From what I can remember through 15 years of contests, not a single result has ever been overturned no matter the circumstances, though in the past CJayC or Allen would at least write posts saying they "examined the results" of controversial matches. (And there were far more suspicious circumstances in the past, like sudden 1000+ vote swings during the final minute.) Clearly, the administration has made a calculated decision that whatever cheating occurs isn't worth the potential uproar from overturning a result.

It's been over a decade since I last won a prize, but in that event, the admins do indeed reach out to you, ask you questions, collect your paperwork, etc. If the procedure is still similar (though I imagine this type of work could possibly be delegated to more junior CBS corporate lackeys now) and we're fortunate enough to get there, that would be an opportunity to air our grievances. But for now, in the spirit of sportsmanship, best of luck to you, and best of luck to XIII_rocks ... may the best bracket win!
