Ouch, brutal update for Kirby. Luigi increases by 62! --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

Maybe there'd be some way to set up a password system for the manual updater, and give it out to trustworthy stat topickers TuRtLe ~~~ 49/54 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Look at the updater. That was all Kirby. He dropped from 380 to 300. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

Or disable the manual updater in the first five minutes, since it's very nice to have around otherwise. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Well the lead is still not in triple digits yet I suppose. It seems like just as a pattern starts to emerge in this match the losing character gives us all the finger and goes off to win an update. --- Albums I'm currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, The Winter Wake, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

So, judging from previous trends this contests, and if Luigi can keep this pace up, it looks like he might win the day vote. Granted, I wouldn't want to call anything in this match ahead of time as both have a tendency to completely weird things up. TuRtLe ~~~ 49/54 in the contest.

How exactly does one "abuse" the updater? What sort of abuse can you really do to the thing? --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

I was rootin' for Luigi against Zero, but it ends today. Kirby's one of my favorite characters! If Kirby wins, I hope CJay uses a spin dash for Sonic's sprite. Ball vs. Ball! --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

You can force manual updates in the first five minutes, when the poll is a free for all. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

The manual updater is a great idea to fix the random update times, but
opening it to a public forum is crazy during the first 5 minutes. --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

How exactly does one "abuse" the updater? What sort of abuse can you really do to the thing? You can make it pick up lots of meaningless 2-vote changes, which makes it harder to view the actual vote trends during that time. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

okay, you need to disable that updater, creative. people are abusing
the hell out of it. sucks, it would be useful in the right hands.

| I've been having fun with the updater. Those
occasional different time updates at random times in the past few
matches are mostly my doing >_> Well, I tend to do it around 2:30
in anticipation for the after-school vote. Not in the first 5 minutes though, that's pretty silly. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Thing is, I'm not too inclined to put in extra work for other people's silliness. I'm not all-powerful you know... Honestly, I think the best solution would be to just disable manual updates and have it check automatically once per minute. That should catch any weirdness in Ceej's update times. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |
