Indeed. No divisions by era and just nominating 10 games regardless of system would make for an awesome bracket. --- "A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage." |

Well, it lasted well for 1 contest, didn't it? 8 and 16 bit were boring, but 128 was evil. --- "40 gil to spend the night? Screw that!" - my roommate on FFX |

Come on, now, Division 8 was the easiest. There was DK/Duck Hunt...
what else was hard? Well, PS/Contra if you weren't thinking clearly,
maybe... LoZ/SMB3 sorta. --- Antivote this petition, it sucks and would be wasting bandwidth: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Oh, sorry, I thought we were talkin' about tough/close matches -- my

Personally I found PD vs. SotN to be quite an interesting match.
Castlevania had a percentage in the upper 50's quite a few hours in
before the poll results page crashed, and by the time it was brought
back up, we found that Perfect Dark had actually CUT INTO SotN's lead
by a few hundred votes, and SotN had under 53%. --- Antivote this petition, it sucks and would be wasting bandwidth: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

LoZ:LttP/FF3-6 was only half of a percent closer, and the prediction
percentage for PD/C:SotN was barely in C:SotN's favor (about 53%, I
think?). There were good cases for both, too, but I'm not goin' to get
into it now. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

I never bought PD's case, but whatever. LttP/FFVI was at least close
for a little while, and it was exciting to see FFVI beating it at the
beginning as the underdog. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 10: Jack Skellington - W, 34-8 |

I remember people saying that because FFVI got too close to ALttP that it stood no chance against CT. Good times. --- "Going in one more round when you don't think you can - that's what makes all the difference in your life." |

I just said, it would be a good anti-cheating method. Also, not being able to refresh a poll every 5 minutes might convince all the internet addicts to I dunno, go outside? Study?

Meh, you care about preventing cheating more than most do. There's no

I just said, it would be a good anti-cheating method. Of course, it would also be far harder to actually notice cheating when it did happen. Fewer cheaters being caught isn't a good thing. --- 11/18/06...the day I was owned by Rufus Shinra in the Guru Contest. |

I only played through MGS2 just to know what the hell everybody was
talking about. I first bought the game when I got my PS2. Played it a
little bit... couldn't get into it. Played through the whole thing and
STILL never got into it. The only part I found mildly fun was when
Raiden got the sword. And even then, if I want to slice through
soldiers with a sword, I'd play Ninja Gaiden!!! --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |
