Yes, they make the contest more exciting and unpredictable Sometimes, just when they attract more attention to certain matches but don't decide the actual winner Not really, I don't like it when outside forces interfere with the results Not at all, rallies shouldn't even be allowed to happen Are you in favor of them? - Results (28 votes) Absolutely, especially when they get out of control and proportion! 7.14% (2 votes) 2 Yes, they make the contest more exciting and unpredictable 14.29% (4 votes) 4 Sometimes, just when they attract more attention to certain matches but don't decide the actual winner 17.86% (5 votes) 5 Not really, I don't like it when outside forces interfere with the results 14.29% (4 votes) 4 Not at all, rallies shouldn't even be allowed to happen 46.43% (13 votes) 13 I think it's about time we find this out already. --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. <cite>Advokaiser posted [p:937375320] in Do you lik...

I have strong negative opinions on them (ironically I've stopped caring about contests a lot the past few ones because wtf is even the point now when this shit can happen at any time so maybe the opinion isn't quite as strong as it was in the days of L-Block/Draven/Undertale) but like... you can't ban them.

TheCodeisBosco 04/14/20 1:20:48 PM #25:	The only issue I have with them this time is that they're coming from Reddit. I firmly believe Reddit is the worst and most harmful major website of the modern era, so it's a bit annoying when their userbase has sway elsewhere. Otherwise, I don't mind rallies at all. And even in this contest, it's not like the rallied Redditors are coming on our boards and stinking up the joint, so they've been harmless thus far.
