Oh ya, Halo is definitely slowing down. The 4,000 vote lead is almost
assured, and even 5,000 isn't impossible for Castlevania now. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

Probably about the first 35-40k votes take place in the night now for
most matches. So that's probably about 35% or so of the total vote...
maybe. I'm pretty much guestimating here though (which is code for
talking out of my ass). --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Oh, and just to expand on my point, what if the poll started at the
old time? CV would only have a lead of around 1000-1500 if the poll did
indeed start at 3 AM EST. You could make the argument that Halo's day vote gain won't be at its "normal" level either considering the earlier starting time, too. It'll still be big, but you know. I don't think Castlevania is the only thing affected by the early start time ... --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

This match is about 3,000 votes ahead of zelda/civ right now, and I'd wager almost all of that is going in CV's favour. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Question: How hard would YOU laugh if Castlevania wins the day vote? --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

It looks like Castlevania is slowing down more than anything. It only gained 37 votes as opposed to the 51 it got before that. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

How much does everyone expect Halo can win at each update in the early
morning? During the day/afternoon? And what about the evening? The answer to those questions may tell us the viability of a comeback. |

Question: How hard would YOU laugh if Castlevania wins the day vote? I'd probably die from lack of oxygen... seriously. That would be the funniest thing ever to happen in contest history. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

I would laugh hard ... and enjoy the "OMG CASTLEVANIA IS WINNING THE DAY VOTE" topics that would pop up all over the place. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

It seems like the updater isn't catching that last one. Castlevania gained 38 votes in that update. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

Castlevania is leading with 3,560 votes right now, too. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

The updater seems faulty right now. Good thing we only have five minute
updates, and not fifteen minute ones, so it doesn't create any real
problems. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Question: How much onger do you think CV has before it starts to slow
down considerably, and begin losing updates? I say about an hour and a
half until it becomes glaringly obvious. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

10 vote update for CV. Ouch. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

It looks like CV is finally started to get around the same amount of
the percentage per update as it has total. It's showing more signs of
slowing down now. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Once CV reaches 4k votes I'm going to sleep. It looks like CV has the match at this point. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

Castlevania is OWNING! I don't think HALO's comeback will be that huge, maybe just 1000 votes. --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

| Got about 2 hours max more to gain. Then we see if Halo has anything made of it. |

I'm fearing a Halo comeback. Hopefully won't happen, cos i hate the games to pieces. Plus i have CV going through. 4000 votes comeback is very doable --- Guess how many teens got owned by overrating England? |

Haha, I thought CV would break 4000 for sure there... 4000 barrier!! Nah, that'll be broken next update. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard? Just get back on your bike and keep pretending to be cool with your lame ass mohawk ****er. - phoenix1487 Sp2k6: 6/6 |

I always had faith in Castlevania. Even though i've only ever played
one single Castlevania game, and that was for about 10 minutes. --- Guess how many teens got owned by overrating England? |

From: Tatsumaki Senpuu Oh, and just to expand on my point, what if the poll started at the old time? CV would only have a lead of around 1000-1500 if the poll did indeed start at 3 AM EST. You could make the argument that Halo's day vote gain won't be at its "normal" level either considering the earlier starting time, too. It'll still be big, but you know. I don't think Castlevania is the only thing affected by the early start time ... I highly doubt it... CV will just have had an extended night vote at the very beginning of the match, and Halo will dominate the day, might get a slim lead, but keep the lead instead of losing votes again because there will be a very short 2nd night vote. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard?

4,000 vote barrier broken! Castlevania with a lead of 4,056! Looks like it hit the area I suspected it would get. It's definitely in the "safe" zone. Now we just have to see how high it gets before Halo starts its day vote charge -- not like it'll matter!! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

To be honest I don't think HALO will have day vote charge will be that big. BTW 50.65% of the brackets had Fire Emblem, has any round 1 match been closer to 50%? --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

I think you guys are over-estimating Castlevania's day vote. Halo/MC's
day vote isn't great by any means, but Castlevania's is absolutly
horrible. A 4000 vote lead is normally more than enough, but I think
with our lengthened 1st night vote, Halo still may have a shot. --- cavedog0: Dec. 2003 - Oct. 2005 Now that USA and Holland and Australia are out, is currently rooting for: France |

Wow. That was a pretty big update for Castlevania -- it gained 125 votes. It extended its lead to 4,181. I'll be blown away if Halo won at this point. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Are these inconsistences due to vote differences in CV, halo, or both?
It's just that these up and down updates for CV seem a bit odd. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |
