don't worry, Ed. you can mess up your whole bracket and still beat anybody that picked Zelda over FF! ... ...you've got a point --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

I'd also like to mention that I think Starcraft's first night-vote
would naturally be much weaker than Starcraft's second night-vote
thanks to rallies. Castlevania, meanwhile, is most likely as strong or
stronger on the first night-vote than the second one due to us being
the more hard-core crowd that Castlevania thrives on and so many of us
having our votes out of the way by morning time (at least moreso than
Halo, if you're going to debate that it's the same for it too). Add to
it the higher vote-totals and the longer night rather than the
broken-up nights, and it's not so bad right now. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

+14? I really want to think the Day Vote is coming about 12 hours early, but it's probably just a hiccup. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SpC2k6 (06/06) Castlevania v Halo |

Hmmm...That's odd. Halo decides to throw in a stall. Granted, this
seems to happen in a lot of matches where a leader in a close match
tries to pull away. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

This is one reason why I like 15 minute updates more than 5 minute - everything averages out more. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

Expect Castlevania to lay down a 150 vote gain next update in retaliation. That's how it rolls. --- Commit it to memory. |

I mean seriously, what were you people who were calling for the "most massive Day/Night vote turnaround ever" expecting in this match? At this rate Halo will only be back around 3000 votes come daylight. --- "I need a weapon." - Master Chief *Waves M$ flag* |

This can be blamed on Alucard taking a quick nap that update, clearly! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Huh? Halo actually fought back that update. Looks like the vote totals
are starting to slow down. How's it looking compared to other matches?
Anybody think this being a Friday night/Saturday match has some effect
on Halo's voting trends? --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Hey, Lopen, I'm right with you. Granted, I actually want Halo to win this match also out of preference. That being said, I did vote for Castlevania, just because I wanted to see as big a vote turnaround as possible...if Chief loses by a single vote I'll be all =( --- Commit it to memory. |

I voted for Castlevania and didn't give it a second thought. I like
Halo and all, but as a series, Castlevania is probably #3 for me now.
For some reason, I've cared less and less for FF. I don't even want to replay FFVI anymore for fear that I'd start liking even that less.... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I'd have kept going all the way through Final Fantasy if I wasn't such a coward. Believe it. And unlike you I've always loved Metal Gear. And Castlevania, for that matter. Castlevania just had the bad draw. This division is so stacked for me. --- "I need a weapon." - Master Chief *Waves M$ flag* |

Hey, I think it's a good thing! While you always change your mind on
what you like, you rarely go from liking something to outright
DISLIKING something (other than perhaps Mario/Nintendo in borderline
cases, but even that's pushing it and it's a special case due to your
namesake). So really, you're just constantly expanding your tastes. I
wish I could enjoy that many things! =D --- Commit it to memory. |
