It's "The Nerdy One"'s. He linked it on Gamefaqs and has mentioned it here. I started to go a bit dormant but I liked it because it was google account limited and relatively safe from spam. I'm starting to wonder though...
That's true. I had been following but not sharing it up until then. At the time I linked it Krystal had 16 votes and was 8th most popular after K. Rool, Roy, Isaac, Wolf, Banjo, Bayonetta, and Ridley. She was tied with or nearly caught by Shovel Knight and Dixie and Snake among a few other that were a bit further back. After I linked the poll here she went from 16 to 22 votes tying her for 5th most popular by last night... and I thought that mostly accounted for the active posters on our thread at the time. But then overnight and apparently this morning into noon, she leapt up to 50 votes and stole a solid second place with only K. Rool outvoting her. Now it appears things have gotten truly ridiculous.
My feeling are so mixed right now. It's amazing, but it seems unbelievable. I hate that I can't just celebrate the results because a sneaking feeling tells me there's something fishy going on. Something like this doesn't happen legitimately without someone building some real support. We got to find out if someone started a Twitter thing and linked the poll specifically for Krystal fans. The message must be out there for so many votes to be coming in. Otherwise, it's vote spam and I'm sad and disappointed that a Krystal fan would do this.
I'm tempted to contact the poll creator and see if he can determine what's up. Before he made the poll google account limited, he was able to tell that it was getting spammed. Not sure how much info he's getting from the poll, but if he could determine if a majority of votes are coming from accounts created in the last day, then that could be telling. Or maybe if some of those accounts don't exist any longer. I wish I didn't have this doubt. I so want it to be real and not be upset that someone might go to such stupid lengths to skew a poll this way. I know it's just a poll, but I like valuable and reliable info to give us goals and see where we stand.
Yeah, no kidding.
Here's the link to the poll again...

So guys, what do you think? Should I contact "The Nerdy One" and see what's up?
