| hey, I'm not suggesting that anybody actually vote for him! I just
picked the weakest character in history and compared him to the
strongest. those five minutes are going to drive us nuts. I'm going to miss the fluctuating percentages for the first couple of minutes. --- xyzzy |

Ugh... I hadn't even noticed about the poll freeze. I understand why
he's doing it what with the vote stuffing and everything, but damn, I
really wish the first 5 minutes were live updates, hell I still wish
the entire thing was (f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5) but since
it won't be, I thought we would still get the first 5 minutes of fun. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Getting rid of the prediction period completely would suck. I would
much rather him just shorten the time in which we're able to predict as
opposed to just not have one. That is a large part of why these
contests are so fun and even more vital to the discussion on the board. --- “I haven’t invested as much time into any game as I have [Twilight Princess].” – Shigeru Miyamoto |

This poll should prove how many underage users there are around.
Anyone who votes less than daily should have their account banned, if
they have one. If I'm doing sports I shower everyday, but if I'm not I can still manage to rock the every other day so long as I do nothing that involves sweating. In the summer it's every day though, but since as of this exact point in time I do it every other day, so I picked "Almost every day." But I must say, GameFAQs is dirty, even with joke votes!
