Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 187
From: Delirium Trigger | Posted: 8/6/2005 9:36:26 PM | Message Detail
I hope he also looks into Vercetti's numbers, because it's even more obvious that Vercetti has had vote stuffers than Kefka. (See: GTA boards earlier today) I'm going to be angry if Tommy keeps the same number of votes and Kefka drops drastically.

I'll laugh my ass off.

What happens if less than 50% of brackets have this match correct (in the event that he does lose)?

That's just the main bracket vote, not the board vote. After all, the bracket vote went to Kefka over Knuckles, IIRC, and him winning would have CERTAINLY exceeded expectations.

And if there are as much cheaters as everyone is complaining about, is this really like a 60,000 vote match? >.> I mean, if it's only 90,000 it can't be possibly be as drastic as everyone is making it out to be?

As much as I hate to say it, I just hope he can subtract all the cheating votes he can find and call it a day. I'm not looking forward to a do-over.

Another update of 125-130 votes per. We get one or two more like that, and its gonna be pretty clear that both sides were cheating relatively bad.

Maybe...he'll just leave it like this to prevent future cheats and not subtract any votes?

Because I'd think subtracting votes would be a huge pain.

No discipline would only encourage people to do it again. Besides, he's subtracted votes before.

I say leave it, whoever wins. If both cheated about the same, and Vercetti had some ridiculous jumps too, then oh well.

But if one cheated match-winningly more than the other, count, and subtract.

AHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS.

The only way this could turn ****ty is if he redid it. Even if he took away more votes from TV it would be hilarious to see this board go ****ing nuts.

That wasn't for a first round match that means relativly nothing (since whoever wins gets crushed by Crono) though, was it?

People have a lot of faith in Kefka, they're fanatical about him. To a lot of people, this *is* their Mario v. Crono. Hence all the votestuffing.

As for stuffing for Tommy...I don't get that at all. Bracket salvagers? o_O

Yeah, tell that to someone who loses out on prizes by 1 point because of Kefka vote stuffers.

Ceej might wait until the end to determine if he's going to remove votes or not.

. . .

Explain to me how that will prevent future cheating. He's very capable of subtracting the votes necessary to change this match outcome. He detected somewhere in the neighboorhood of 1500 cheat votes for StarCraft before stopping, although he never had to remove them because SSBM was already winning. Obviously, this is an entirely different case.

I would definitely suspect that he'll remove the votes from Kefka. Now, before anyone says "Vercetti had vote stuffers too!" I'm well-aware of that. But if they were not offseting each other -- and from what I hear, Kefka's gains were absurd -- then he'll remove votes. Remember, it isn't like he has to dig up thousands. All that is necessary is enough to change the match outcome, which is less than 200 votes.

But, on the positive side, we may get to see a picture of CATS in some Spartan armor on the front page. That would be worth it, I think.
