I wouldn't count out Diablo against KOS-MOS yet... KOS-MOS is ahead by
quite a bit (an equal of 55.5% to 45.5% over Diablo), but we're talking
about a night owl against a day-vote king. I doubt it will be enough,
but Diablo will probably chip into KOS-MOS' lead a lot of the day. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Damn that Arthas. I was really, really hoping he'd bleed some votes
over to Diablo in a SFF fashion. And if he would, Diablo would win this
easily. --- Once I was human. Now I am far more. |

talking about a night owl against a day-vote king. I doubt it will be
enough, but Diablo will probably chip into KOS-MOS' lead a lot of the
day. First of all, He's not Knuckles. KOS-MOS is already way ahead of anywhere Rikku was when she peaked, and KOSMOS still has a good 4~5 hours to go. Meanwhile, Diablo is having problem just staying in 3rd place...I honestly think that Arthas will take the Day Vote at this rate. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

I would love to see Arthas turn out to be a day vote beast and give KOS
a scare. As it is, he'll have to settle for beating the devil it
seems... if all goes well. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Knux has a terrible night vote, but godly day vote. Whether Diablo or Arthas have a day vote like that is irrelevant scince itll most likely be split among the 2. --- Hi |

I'd like to see KOS take a complete dive during the day and potentially give way to both Diablo and Arthas. That'd be bad ass. --- Once I was human. Now I am far more. |

Diablo/Arthas might fight over who wins the day-vote more, but KOS/Mega
will fight over who loses it harder. I still wouldn't count either of
them out... ...but KOS-MOS is going to change that very soon if she keeps this up. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

What do you mean KOS-MOS and Mega Man fight for who loses it? Since when is Mega Man a slouch with the day vote? --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Eh, I'm not sure of how KOS-MOS does during the day, but she's almost
up to a 1,000 vote lead over Diablo, no need to even mention Arthas.
That's a tall order to comeback from, especially when it'll keep rising
for a few more hours. It's possible something could happen, but I'd
doubt it. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

I think it's sad the KOS-MOS needs heavy SFF to make it out of the
first round. Without Arthas in the Group, Diablo easily takes second.
And without Diablo, Arthas probably easily takes second. These two
never should have been grouped first round. --- Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches ~You'd be surprised, it's not all about wandwork either. |

Again, Diablo was linked halfway into his match. That likely played a
difference, though Diablo would have still fought with Sonic over it. Isn't Mega Man notorious for losing the morning vote? I know he's not all that hot with the day-vote either...average, maybe? --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

"There is no Blizzard SFF! " That's only because they've all hacked the poll to allow themselves to vote for both Diablo and Arthas, obviously! --- Once I was human. Now I am far more. |

Mega Man has *traditionally* been good with it... it's only last year
that he really stunk it up with the day. Granted two of those matches
were against Kingdom Hearts and he did alright against Ryu, so only
time will tell if he follows that trend this time around. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Damn, all of Diablo's other matches were pretty much a crap-shot in
terms of figuring out what voting trend he follows. Though it does look
like he's more of a daytime beast (which seems odd to me). Relative to
KOS, though, I feel quite confident in saying that he should get the
day vote. --- Once I was human. Now I am far more. |
