Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 403

MyworldisSmurf | Posted 10/23/2006 1:46:15 PM | message detail
I agree with Ulti. A topic of LUEshi's is a lot more entertaining that dicussing poll updates like the 401 topics before it.

And if you didn't like it, there's nothing stopping you from discussing the match on AIM or somewhere. >_<

So what do we think about the recent stallings by Dante? Does he actually have a shot to come back?

This board isn't going to run out of any topics, period. It's just that the stats topic usually isn't filled with the same sorry-ass lameness that the rest of Board 8 is often infested with ;)

I'm going to say this ONE last time.

Yoshi match, on LUEshi's three year birthday, when the 402nd stats topic just happened to exist. If you or anyone else honestly have a problem with people having some fun with that, then you need to throw your computer out of a window and never again turn it on.

And yes Leon, I get a little peeved when people make such a big deal out of nothing. Other people not knowing how to tell the difference between the internet and real life is annoying when it gets directed at me.

Whoah, I had no idea that this was the third anniversary of LUEshi. Had I known, my bracket wouldn't have gone against yoshi. >_>

Do you think CjayC knew that his match would take place on that day? If he did...wow. He deserves a medal.

Maybe cjayc did know, and did this on purpose. It's probably just a coincedence though.

From: creativename | Posted: 10/23/2006 9:28:07 PM | Message Detail
Yoshi will probably have 1,000+ plus vote by 7pm or 8pm, which means Dante is probably going to have to start shaving off 200-300 votes per hour. That's a pretty tough task. He can do it, but I think it's pretty unlikely.

From: ShatteredElysium | Posted: 10/23/2006 9:32:16 PM | Message Detail
Does Dante even have a chance at coming back?

His only hope now is if someone has been mass stuffing for Yoshi but there's nothing to suggest this has been happening.

Lead increased by 74?!
How...


There. A bunch of update posts tellnig you stuff you could have looked up on sc2k5.com yourself and a couple of posts offering their opinion on Dante's chances. You had no need to sift through the topic. Just get out if you were that pissed.

Dante hasn't really done much to show he has much of a chance to comeback. I believe, and I haven't checked up on it, but Yoshi has his largest lead of the match right now. Considering Dante was unable to do match last night with Yoshi having a smaller lead, I don't think he's going to end up doing much this match to make it really interesting.

Missin' the point, Ulti: it started off with a very early lol x-stats and has built up to you ribbing everyone who doesn't enjoy dashes and dots. Today you've been difficult to stand and it's only gotten worse and worse as the time passes, and it's not just because of LUEshi.

And you accuse others of taking the internet too seriously? <_<

I thought the topic was awesome. My main problem is how people are reacting to it. The attitude of "if you didn't like it then you are uptight" is pure crap. I, you, and many others thought it was funny. Not everyone else did, so now that it's over, it's over. We don't have to rub it into people's faces when they obviously don't enjoy it like us.

You didn't find it funny when people mess with the first post right? Why are you so uptight about it! geez.

Whining about people whining about a fad filled topic is all of a sudden so great? Posting ASCII pics on the internet is a worthy pasttime time to begin with? Come on now, this stuff beneath us all :)

Really, let's start talking about the match.

I just think the LUEshi's should have been left for like the openin' post from each person who wanted to post it instead of it being the annoyingly-large focus of the topic. I know it was a one-time deal, but it doesn't change that it was annoying, avoidable, and still became amplified after the floodgates were opened.




Anyway, match time...

...if Dante doesn't do anything by 6:00, he has no chance in my eyes. Even then, it's just a slim shot.
