That's because the poll times switched in that second update there. We're at 22-27 updates again I think. Or at least around that time

The updater definitely just changed. Sc2k5 is not reflective of the actual lead at the moment. 248 vs 222(actual).

If dante falls apart like jill did with the after school vote this won't even be close. I have a feeling that he'll manage to keep it together a bit better, but still come out losing.

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!
NClark128 | Posted 10/23/2006 9:34:53 AM | message detail
I think Dante's a little bit stronger than Jill, but I think Yoshi is quite a bit stronger than Peach.

Dante will take the lead at some point during the day, but he won't hold it.

The n00b Avenger | Posted 10/23/2006 9:34:54 AM | message detail
Well, it'll still be close. Jill had a 1400 lead, and even with how badly she fell apart, that practically ended in a tie. At this point, I have a hard time seeing Yoshi win with more than 1800 votes.

Dante is a little more contemporary and more popular than Jill Valentine, but Yoshi is much more popular than Peach. What the significance of each may mean is unknown, but I would venture to guess that it gives Yoshi a stronger advantage in the after-school than Peach had on Jill. Yoshi might need that great advantage judging by the votes Yoshi is hemorrhaging at the moment.

Dante's day vote will hold up better than Jill's. No way would he squander a 1400 lead but then again, he won't get a 1400 lead. I think he needs to get around 750 or so in front for it to be a close finish but I can't see that happening to be honest.

How long until the day vote kicks in. I'm a silly Brit and always forget the timezones.

It's variable. Eastern time zone is GMT -5, so I would say it'll be about 2000 Zulu when the youth onslaught begins.

Where I live (US Central time zone), the after-school vote kicks in around 2:00-2:30 PM. That translates to about 8:00-8:30 PM in Britain, I think.

FastFalcon05 | Posted 10/23/2006 9:41:43 AM | message detail
It's really more about three hours until the after school vote's in full swing, imo. I'm not going to check, but I recall people saying Peach was dead when nothing much was happening from 2:30 - 3, but after 3 and toward 3:30 is when she really got going.

It took Peach about 3 hours from now to do anything with the after-school vote. But she was a bit slower than most people.

At any rate, Yoshi likely won't take it from Dante like Peach took it from Jill. I just hope Dante can tear ass in the next few hours, and maybe even go even with Yoshi in the day-vote.

ShatteredElysium | Posted 10/23/2006 9:44:23 AM | message detail
So realistically he has 28 updates before the Yoshi tide begins. In that time he has to cut down an 173 lead and build a lead of his own.

At the minute he's gaining 25 or so per update. Assuming he carries on like that until the school vote kicks in, that gives him a lead of 527. I don;t think that will be enough nor do I think he'll keep it at a constant 25 so it'll probably be less of a lead than that.

Yoshi won that update due to him spiking a bit and Dante dropping off. Hope that's just an anomaly for my brackets sake.

Peach didn't take off until 3:25. Jill actually slightly won the 3:20 update even.

It wasn't until after that when she really saw an advantage

Doing better with the before-school vote practically guarantees that you win the after-school vote. Don't go getting any false hopes now >_>

Wow. I didn't realize that Dante didn't even get much of a lead during the night. He elad for a grand total of seven updates and the biggest lead he had was 35. Yoshi looks like he's been in complete control of the match from the beginning, even with it being close as strange as that sounds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the after school vote usually a more extreme version of the morning vote? Keep in mind that Yoshi won the morning hour with over 51%.

XIII_rocks | Posted 10/23/2006 10:20:15 AM | message detail
Meh, he's got a couple of hours to make up 100 votes. I'm sure he'll take something of a lead, but Yoshi is going to decimate him later.

And even if Yoshi isn't out of sight (like less than 800 votes or something) by the time the after-school vote is well and truly done...Dante sucked so much early on in this match that I'm struggling to find a scenario in which Yoshi loses...

Unless Yoshi isn't so good with the day vote, or something.

Man, watching this entire topic go on and on and on about how Yoshi was going to bury Dante with the day vote was irritating because there was really nothing pointing to it other than "Yoshi's Nintendo!"

Honestly, folks, Nintendo is morning vote, not day vote, and even then, Yoshi didn't do all that well. Compared to what Sheena did to Jill, Peach sucked with the after school vote. She could barely build any sort of lead.

Yoshi may win, but he is not running away with the day vote by any stretch of the imagination. Watching the entire stat topic devoted to Yoshi winning based on trends when he's barely winning at all? Gimme a break.
