Ultimaterializer: Ceej hasn't mentioned anything about cheating to you at all? Ultimaterializer: Aside from Luster/EC/Sess getting axed, duh. Devin: We talked earlier Devin: Just said that a bunch of people were axed for it Devin: And that's that Devin: Unless they decide to try it again Ultimaterializer: I know there was mass cheating for GTA. Devin: I noticed Devin: Sucks that GTA is losing though >_< Ultimaterializer: But it's odd that it wouldn't go both ways. Devin: Heh Ultimaterializer: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2434&sort=time&type=ASC Ultimaterializer: Odd spikes for Warcraft ALL OVER the place. Devin: Yeah Devin: CJayC (23:53:51): There were just as many "spikes" for GTA, if you could call them that. Ultimaterializer: Awesome, so the match stands. Ultimaterializer: I'll ignore my hate of WoW and just be happy that WC2/3 got their time in the sun :-) And that's that. Yay Warcraft 3! <3 ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

I'm hoping we get a CJay topic even if there is no cheating. We got one

Wow, a tripling already and Sonic's usually bad with the night vote. Not that trends have mattered, but large fluctuations in percentage haven't happened much either. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Let's see if it stabilizes. If Sonic can somehow keep it above 70%, SSB
may be in for the fight of its life even if it's as strong as we think. --- Commit it to memory. |

Sonic looking good for a tripling here. And I wouldn't be surprised if Diablo was stronger than Starcraft. (as a "series" - in terms of games, I could see Diablo II > Starcraft) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Sonic's still got the tripling! Whoo-hoo! All right, let's say that Sonic does better against DMC than SSB does against DQ. Then what do you guys think about their match? --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Sonic got the board vote and bracket vote so he'll probably go down
overnight. He'll stay above 70% almost for sure though. And a fair bet
for the tripling. All right, let's say that Sonic does better against DMC than SSB does against DQ. Then what do you guys think about their match? I fully expect Dragon Quest to overperform, and I thought Sonic would do real good here. But while I don't think that match is a given, I think SSB should still be the favorite. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

The 2nd and 3rd hardest to predict first round matches in one
contest is pretty good, even if this is kinda like the second round. And people were complaining about how predictable it was :) I didn't see CV coming but I figured there were a bunch of matches that were unpredictable, including yesterday, and MM vs. MK, SF vs. RE (maybe even TES), Sonic vs. SSB, Halo vs. KH (CV now), and LoZ vs. FF. For a 32 entrant thing that's not bad. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Message From JDMS at 2006-07-11 11:47:12 Hopefully you get this feedback ticket today... I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like there MIGHT be extensive vote stuffing in the current match (GTA vs Warcraft). Watching the updates, there have been some strange fluctuations, and lead cuts have been very inconsistent over very short periods of time. The whole thing reminds me of Vercetti vs Kefka a little bit. Anyway, if you could just check it out, that'd be good. I'm sure you would have anyway, but it seems better to check it out sooner rather than an hour before the match is over, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention now. Message From GameFAQs at 2006-07-11 17:16:43 Attempts at vote-stuffing are carefully monitored, not counted in the results, and several overwhelmingly guilty parties have already been axed. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

I'd expect Starcraft > Warcraft but if so it wouldn't be by too much. Probably. I think their strength is about even, but the SFF would most likely favor Starcraft. Plus starcraft fans are probably the better vote stuffers. --- bnet ID: KailaYu |
