You are right, RumplesGirl! I couldn’t believe that we beat Barney and Robin. That was crazy. We really came together and will continue to do so right up to midnight. This is Rumbelle’s first year in this competition and they made it to the finals??? We should be super proud – yes, we want to win but if we don’t, we know that we gave our best!

And the only reason we lost is because they other side had a really good voting bot
Welllllll…I don’t know if I’d go that far. I have no doubt that their side is engaging in some less than ethical methods, but we can’t claim that our side probably didn’t also try. The SPN fanbase is super strong, they’ve been on the air for 8yrs and their fandom is intense. VERY intense. Tumblr alone is proof of that. About a week ago they staged a #Mishapocalypse (for Castiel actor Misha Collins that basically took over Twitter and Tumblr) Our fanbase is still growing because we’re only in our second season and people are still discovering the show. Plus, Destiel is basically the only ship on the show whereas ours has a whole multitude of ships meaning that some OUaT fans may feel differently about Rumbelle.
What’s important here is that polls like this show the power of fan culture. People take OUAT seriously as a fan culture because we got one of our ships to the championship round of this tournament. We obviously scared the SPN family into some serious voting. And we had fun while doing it! Look how many pages this thread is!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"To bad we didn’t know about this poll thing sooner because we could have voted against this team before they got this far. Hopefully if they do it again my Snow and PC will be the winners 😀
1630 now… my eyes hurt! EDT here too so it is almost midnight but I will stay up as long as I can.
RG warned us I believe either on the 8th or the 6th about Destiel… :-/ I voted a few times against them but not enough 🙁

Yeah what sucks is that they were in it too but unfortunately I didn’t even see that they had this contest till Rumbelle was the last couple standing. Interesting not though Rumbelle was the last couple added to the contest the decision came down to Rumbelle or CaptainSwan

I kept seeing warning from people about whatever bot they used I thought we’d be able to over come it but we’ll see there’s still time left
Final stand all 2hrs to go we trail by 1489 votes it’s been a fun few nights doing our best to support OUAT For fans of a show in it’s 2nd season to get a couple that isn’t featured as much as it should be to go to the finals in a tournament against couples with huge followings that’s quite an achievement one that we as Oncers should all take pride in. We are just as strong and dedicated as any fans out there Thanks everyone for voting
I echo that- it’s been so much fun banding together as RumbelleArmy and voting together day and night! We’ll be much better prepared if we get the opportunity next year. I honestly don’t think we can say that the other side won because of the bot – it helped them considerably but they obviously have a dedicated fan base as well. So proud of all of us and Rumbelle. They inspired us to work hard and work together. The overall communication was positive and focused on our task. That was great to see as well. As someone new to the OUAT community, I had a blast.

Everyone could go back and forth on what the bot ended up doing for them but in the end I think it’s best to forget about that and focus on the positivity of what came out of doing this, just the sense of comradery there was while we were giving this our all was great they have this every year and next year I know we Oncers will be ready to go again.
