Day vote, that's what I mean. Let me put it to you this way: Gordan freeman has a terrible day vote. There's no way around it, his day vote just sucks. But when faced with his match against phoenix wright, he went up considerably during the day in percentage because even though his day vote is crap, phoenix's was that much worse. Same thing applies here. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

lol people not understanding that stronger night vote = weaker day vote. It doesn't make your day vote any weaker, it just makes the dropoff between the two greater, but that doesn't mean it's actually any weaker. --- I'm so hardcore. |

Except of course, that ganon's day vote isn't terrible, it's just somewhat average. Same concept though is what I mean. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

On one hand, I love seeing Ganon go toe to toe with Vincent at night.

Hey Ed Bellis or whoever, where do you get those votal comparisons
from? It's gotta be coming from some script or something, since they're
always formatted exactly the same, but I've never seen a link to
whatever it is that generates those results. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

If it stays like this, the difference maker will be Ganon's morning vote, not his day vote. Correct, however I expect that if they go toe to toe at night, Vincent won't be winning the day vote at any point. I'd say vincents max at this point is maybe 3k before the day vote, and that's only if he turns into an absolute machine in the dead of night. Even then 2k to 2,500 would be more realistic. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

It doesn't make your day vote any weaker, it just makes the dropoff
between the two greater, but that doesn't mean it's actually any weaker. Day and night votes are judged by shifts, not by actually strength. If that weren't true, Link would actually have a great night vote. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

If that weren't true, Link would actually have a great night vote. Does it mean that he will be more likely to lose day votes now compared to before? Yes, but that still doesn't make it any weaker than it used to be. --- I'm so hardcore. |
