From Janus5000 Posted 10/17/2006 9:32:39 PM #196
That was mostly Peach tanking.

Not really. She stayed consistent and Jill got 217 when she's been getting around 160-180.
---
That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end.

Honestly though who cares who wins this? Their both about even in strength, they both are going to lose horribly next round, and all of our brackets are screwed anyway.

Can't think of a good sig.

O_O WTF 53 votes gained, if that is legit then I think Jill has this won.

Peach looks like she'll be pretty consistant the rest of the way. The comeback is totally in Jill's hands!

I totally corrected myself first!

Hmm, a more reasonable cut there. Maybe that spike was a sign that the zombie hunters woke up?

~*ST*~AAAAAAAAAAAARS!

dragoontheguy | Posted 10/17/2006 7:39:01 PM | message detail
Assuming this is legit, now a comeback actually looks good. I was doubting jill's ability to do anything other then athetically pull 50% of the vote for a while there.

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!
RPGuy96 | Posted 10/17/2006 7:39:03 PM | message detail
I don't think it means much because of the time change and all, but with an hour and a half left in her match with Hayabusa, Jill trailed by 305 votes.

I'd call gaining 28 voted to be more then simply stopping the bleeding... not that it matters or anything, I'm just being anal-retentive again.

Yah but what are the odds he'd overturn the result? Odds are there's been cheating on both sides.

I know the feeling. It's really, really irritating since I've become so used to the convenience the updater usually provides.

I'd agree that Jill has looked highly suspect for a while, but I hate to jump to conclusions.

Although it looks like cheating or not, she's still losing anyways so meh.

So yeah, I just got home from school. When I left about six hours ago, Peach was what, 1000 votes behind? I went to school a sad man.

And now this. This is awesome.

hey RPGuy, do you have 15 minute updates laying around by chance? I'm curious to see how weird the updates look with the old style.

I'm not jumping to conclusions :)

At last check, Peach is *actually* winning by 234, but I'm sure the cheated vote lead has widened for Jill since that last spike.

I really hate close matches sometimes, because all of a sudden everyone claims vote-stuffing on every single update, regardless of which way it's going. It's ludicrous.

I'm fairly certain that Smurf did a little bit of stuffing shortly after Peach's after-school comeback began... at the very least, he hinted at it.

I'm inclined to think he's not the only one, though.

Well it sounds like you have your sources on this and this isn't all just guesswork, so I should probably take what you're saying a bit more seriously.

As much as I would like to see Jill win, she just can't, unless some extensive stuffing occurs. In the past hour the lead has decreased from 271 to 184, and there only 70 minutes left.
