Not stepping on swirl's toes or anything; he just thought it would be a
good idea to throw an objection into the first post of the other topic
and render it moddable. Dunno about anyone else, but a stats topic

When did putting an objection in the first post make any topic moddable? Especially when it's an on topic objection! --- The *only* good thing about this contest is that Ceej might share with us the split between female/male nominations for Samus. ~creativename |

I've never even known of an objection post to get modded... maybe
that's because they all get modded and I don't see it, but still. It's

I think that crono's base is far less fickle than Samus's. I think the
reason she's always extrapolated higher than Crono is because everyone
recognizes her, whereas fewer people recognize crono, but the ones that
do always vote for him. Also, I think Nintendo fans are going to have split allegiances here. old school fans prefer CT over Super Metroid. --- "The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have"-Gerald Ford "I have nipples Greg--can you milk me?" |

Wanna sig bet? Considering I have account bet on Ganon/Sonic, I'm pretty sure I can deal with a signature bet!! --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

Holy crap, you have an account bet? Is there a provision that if Ganon doenst even make it, the bet's off? --- "The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have"-Gerald Ford "I have nipples Greg--can you milk me?" |
| Heroic Mario | Posted 9/4/2006 4:48:39 PM | message detail |

The only way the bet is negated is if Vincent somehow manages to beat Ganon and Sonic. --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2006 4:49:20 PM | message detail |

Nope. If Ganon loses to Vincent or Sonic, HM loses his account (provided that Vincent does not beat Sonic). It's been nice knowing him. --- Commit it to memory. |

Damn. HM's acct bet could be as legendary as the Aeon-AT match if it
werent for him going against such a freaking obvious pick in sonic. --- "The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have"-Gerald Ford "I have nipples Greg--can you milk me?" |

Magus's descent was a surprise, but a noble niner falling would be way way more shocking. --- "The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have"-Gerald Ford "I have nipples Greg--can you milk me?" |

And to boot, the perso0n you're taking to break the noble nine is
someone who got extrapolated alongside Tidus and Magus, last year's 2
biggest flops. --- "The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have"-Gerald Ford "I have nipples Greg--can you milk me?" |

Magus's descent was a surprise, but a noble niner falling would be way way more shocking. OH MAN TOTALLY THOSE GUYS ARE INVULNERABLE, THERE'S LIKE A 10% GAP BETWEEN THEM AND THE NEXT BEST PEOPLE!

To be fair to HM, his pick isn't *that* crazy, and you can even bend
non-Magus/Sephiroth related stats to make it work. Him betting the most
legendary account in B8 history is, though...despite me picking Vincent
> Ganondorf, I'll be voting Ganondorf all the way because I don't
want to see it go. This was all his master plan, by the way. --- Commit it to memory. |

Precedent>x-stats Actually it's not, if you, you know, thought once in a while it would be pretty obvious that the x-stats have the noble 9 above everyone.
