Yep, 30.22 votes per five minute update. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

1360/43 = 32 votes per 5 minute update to win. I don't know where this 15-16 is coming from. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

yeah, it could be close. Reminds me of Jill/Ryu...the second time. Her votes needed per update killed her until the last hour, and then she exploded to lose by so little. One of my favorite matches, that one. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Yeah, if GTA gets a sudden boost at the end it has a shot. And really,
if it had an extra hour to do it at this rate it'd win. It loosk a LOT
like Kefka/Vercetti, and as I mentioned last night Vercetti didn't take
the lead in that match until 9:40. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Yeah its over. WC not going to let it come back without a fight and GTA needs no fight to comeback. --- Where am I? |

Im just not seeing the pattern that made the Kefka cheating obvious.
That doesnt mean it doesnt exist, but if it does its more well hidden. --- Where am I? |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 7/11/2006 5:34:20 PM | message detail |
|
If Kefka/Vercetti were on five-minute updates, the pattern would have
been MUCH less apparent. It's the nature of live-updating that made
that one so obvious, and honestly, many still didn't catch it/believe
it. --- Commit it to memory. |

You really need insta-updates to see the cheating in Kefka/Vercetti. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

*shrugs* If I were going to cheat, lord knows I'd have learned from my predecessor's mistakes. A much better job could have been done to hide the cheating from us. Hiding it from Ceej though... that might be harder. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

"It's the nature of live-updating that made that one so obvious" Yeah, everyone was talking about 'barriers' the whole time, and we wouldn't have ever seen that with 5 minute updates. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Honestly, I'm not even going to worry about GTA coming back until it gets below 1000. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Now you're on the trolley, Leon! Now say votal. --- Commit it to memory. |

The chances of it doing that every update 'til the end is rather slim,
though. Of course, as the night stretches on it might start taking even
bigger chunks than that back... God I love close matches. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Yeah I was looking over the beginning 5 hours of that match and you
cant tell that there is burst of votes, but it seemed extremely obvious
at the time. --- Where am I? |

Well, some users got axed for multi-voting with alts. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

I can see GTA taking off a few hundred votes, but winning is a slim chance. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

Everybody should have been well aware that Blizzard games tend to get
massive rallying support from battlenet. It won't have much of an
impact against the bigger series, but against something like GTA it's
looking to be just enough, at least at this point. I really don't care
which one wins at this point, since I really hate WoW and never liked
GTA either. --- While one star burns brightly, another fades away |

How says this has anything to do with rallying? There isn't any
evidence to say all that much was done in that regard. I'm sure there
was some, but I'd be willing to bet most of the voters are already
visitors of this site. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

With two and a half hours remaining, this match has already surpassed
Mario/Madden and is now our 11th most highly voted match of all-time. It's only about 700 votes away from beating out Mega Man/Snake 2003 for 10th. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

| It looks like it is on track to be the 4th largest vote total ever. I don't think it can make it to the top three, but 4th is quite attainable. |

From ChichiriMuyo Posted 7/11/2006 9:07:16 PM #478 How says this has anything to do with rallying? There isn't any evidence to say all that much was done in that regard. I'm sure there was some, but I'd be willing to bet most of the voters are already visitors of this site. Not accusing anything of cheating, but this match shows all the classic examples of it. Massive vote spikes from both sides, plus multiple people already axed for doing it. The question is whether or not cheating alone decides the match. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game.

Maybe if I clap my hands over my ears and sing a happy song, all the doubt will fade away... Nope, it's not working. Oh well. I wonder if this will be the only match in this contest has that has less than 2% vote differential (e.g. 51/49 or closer)... --- It's funny that violence is socially acceptable when sex isn't; violence is the one that will kill you most of the time.- Ultimaterilizer |

Yeah, this match is enormously suspicious. But I can't think of all that many close matches that weren't. Pity, though. --- Need new sig. |

I'm sorta hoping Ceej does say there was cheating. It'd make thoe whole
thing that more interesting (since it lost all excitement awhil ago) --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

"Not accusing anything of cheating, but this match shows all the

multiple people already axed for doing it. The question is whether or
not cheating alone decides the match." And on which side. Didn't the people who were axed for it vote stuff for GTA, not WC? --- "Patriotism is clearly the greatest danger to which civilization is at present exposed" --Bertrand Russell |

Just passed 120,000 votes with 2 hours to go, and WC is still up by
1300. GTA would need a miracle and the spirit of Mario 2k3 to pull this
one off. --- Commit it to memory. |

We have now hit 120,000 total votes. We haven't reached this territory
in nearly two years. Even Link/Cloud didn't get this high last year.
It's now 8th all-time. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Also, I've gotta wonder how high Mario/Warcraft could go. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Mario/WC probably won't have the Close Match Factor. --- Support Captain Falcon! |
| LeonhartForever | Posted 7/11/2006 7:03:56 PM | message detail |

Well, Mario's going to draw in tons of votes simply because nearly
everybody who comes here can vote for it, and if Warcraft rallying is
actually worth something, then we could go quite high. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

This is not a match I would expect to be the 8th highest of all-time.
That said, it does give me plenty of confidence that Link/Cloud on
steroids (Zelda/FF) is going to be setting some records. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Photo finish? GTA taken about 4 hours to gain 200 votes. No way it gains 1300 in 2 hours. --- Support Captain Falcon! |
