Warcraft goes up. --- "If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything." |

Ya know, the only reason these back and forth things could even
happen at zero is cheating. It's so dumb. As far as actual voters go,
they don't magically materialize to make a struggle apparent. WTF are you talking about. This is clearly the work of barriers! --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Yup...Warcraft is heading on up now, and unless GTA can pull the first
day vote of the contest out of its ass, it'll be pretty much screwed. --- Commit it to memory. |

I actually love the changes CJayC made to this contest: 5 minute
updates are more dramatic and a 9PM PST start means I can stay up. It's great for matches like this. --- "Never argue with a fool, people may not tell the difference" - Murphy's Law |

the match is an hour and a half old and there have been over 500 stats posts about it... I just caught up. Now I wake up, and by the time I get back there will probably be another 500 posts with dozens of lead changes and talk of barriers... Question: I've heard during WoW maintenance the forums are down too. If so, then why the hell is it a GOOD thing for WoW that this is on a tuesday? --- Kingdom Hearts > Metal Gear. BOOK IT |

Fascinating match. I agree that the day vote is unpredictable. First impression is that it should go to GTA but it wouldn't be surprising if we were surprised, eh? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Because, if the site is down for maintenance, the fans will be spending
more time at the forums (where rallying notices are posted) instead of
playing the game. And if they aren't playing the game, they'll have
time to vote. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

The essence of downtime: As mentioned, people not playing the game and surfing the forums will vote Warcraft if they come along it. Plus, downtime will only last till 6ish EST, so the servers will be up and running in time for any last-minute rallying. |

Expect GTA to try and regain some ground come daytime. This isn't over. But can it hold up? By the way... this poll is about 1500 votes ahead of Halo/Castlevania at this time. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Almost 3000 votes ahead of Metal Gear Vs. Soul Calibur. Which would probably be a better comparison since they're both weekdays --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I have to admit it doesn't look good for GTA b/c WC's gains are
stablizing. Additionally, it is unlikely that GTA's day vote is as
strong as Halo's. On the other hand, WC is making much smaller gains
than CV did. GTA won't have to fight off as much come day. --- SC2k6: 9/9 Leaderboard #7: ProfessorBen Today: Bracket: GTA Vote: Warcraft |

It's 157 votes ahead...This ain't over. Man, it never ceases to amaze
me how quick people are to call any match over (unless it involves
Halo, and then it's never over). --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |
