Whoa. Five minutes in and there's already over 1300 votes. Hello 100,000 votes in the first match. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

| Can't tell if that 40,000 is a good or bad thing. Seems like too much competition for a 32 match contest IMO. |

Holy crap, I've been waiting for match pics that size since Day One.
Kudos for finally getting it down, Ceej. Also I'm glad he's not just
sticking with generic logos for Round One - Elder Scrolls has a chance !! --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

Looks like I undershot. But on the bright side, I will console myself by saying that, the higher Zelda goes, the more it could debunk the idea of an entry only being about as strong as its strongest game! --- Some stories can't be told by words.

It's good as far as votals will go... It's bad in terms of a single person trying to win. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

But if FF underachieves against Diablo, then there'll be reason to worry. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

This is definitely ugly though....its been what, 11 minutes? I think changing the poll time is making a good impact. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

I know, but there's gonna be a point where FF wouldn't do good by Diablo standards. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

High-eighties is almost a sure thing now. Zelda will taper a bit during
the dead hours, but the morning and day votes will thrash Civ. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

I'm loving these high vote totals this early. Good idea to change the
time of the polls. It'll be even better for those close matches. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

But on the bright side, I will console myself by saying that, the
higher Zelda goes, the more it could debunk the idea of an entry only
being about as strong as its strongest game! Nobody never said that would be the exact case. But there surely will be series that are a lot closer to their strongest games than others... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

That's true, but if FF fails to break, say, 70% there's going to be big trouble. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

I'd give my right wang to see Zelda beat Final Fa... RIGHT HAND! I MEANT RIGHT HAND! I AM NOT A FREEEEAK!!!!!!!!! --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Okay, so maybe I exaggerated. But FF HAS to do good. Half the fun is hyping up the major contenders in the early rounds. --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

Wow Link vs. Sephiroth had half as many votes. Probably because it starts earlier. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

Yeesh! And this score will probably only go up as the day goes on.
Normally I wouldn't pay too much attention to this day's results, but
Fallout 2 did manage 13% against OoT, and I would expect Civilization
to be safely ahead of Fallout. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

I would expect Civilization to be safely ahead of Fallout. As would I, but we ain't dealing with just OoT, heh. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Nah, the Legend of Zelda as a series can make 90% of the series out there look like fodder, PC or otherwise. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |
