I've been lurking in these topics for nearly three years and this is only my second or third time posting here. O_o

Anyway, I'm only posting so I can vote for "erfjkhuithieh.com" as the new stat website URL. >_>

I think you're right on that. As for the rest of you asking for positions, I don't know. I really don't want a Crew with more than 5 people this time. 7 is just too much of a pain.

Well, if that offer you made to me to join the analysis crew last year still stands... I'd still like to decline.

I'm not good enough at these contests to analyze them anyway.

pfft, you know I know who you are, mnm!

I'd prefer the analysis crew be stats topic regulars... I've always thought H and Leon would be ideal. mnm is a good choice as well.

Mage, are you doing your predictions when the bracket gets released like last year?

I'll give a legit nomination to therealmnm, and I'd let him be on the crew at my expense if it came to it. Him and Leonhart are the two biggest analysis-snubs (heh) from last year from my view-point, and I don't see therealmnm be biased as much as I do Leonhart.

therealmnm | Posted 5/12/2006 8:27:22 PM | message detail
Don't hate. Ummmm, last I checked, Halo is a pretty popular series outside of this board. It did pretty well against Starcraft in SpC2k4, and that was still when there was considerable Xbox hate. Since then, Halo has gotten even more popular with the release of Halo 2. Master Chief has shown to be stronger as well. Plus there's Halo being a top 10 favorite game on the site... Halo 2 getting on the list as a write-in... There are plenty of Halo fans on this site. It's not a farfetched choice at all.

I don't think Metroid as a series is as popular as we think, the same as how I think about SotN. Halo very well could take that four pack. Note how I said that it was a good four pack meaning I think that it is a toss-up between Halo and Metroid with Warcraft being a very good wildcard upset choice.
