WoW servers don't go down on Tuesday anymore. >_> uh, yes they do. Don't always last till 2 pm, but they're always down at least a couple hours |

Actually, he's partially right. During some weeks, "maintenance" is
nothing more than an instantaneous server restart lasting 5 minutes
tops. It depends entirely on what needs to be done. Blizzard had been
hoping to complete all maintenance through these restarts, but the
fairly regular maintenance periods would indicate that this wasn't as
feasible as they'd though. (Gee, big surprise from Blizz...) --- Smack yourself for making that last post. You know which one. How could you be so damn stupid? |

phew. I wake up in the middle of the night worried and now I'm satisfied that I have little to worry about. =) Go KOS-MOS! --- Today: Mega Man > KOS-MOS - Vote: Mega Man. Tomorrow: Samus > Frog - Vote: Frog. Points: 4/4 |

While Arthas has taken Diablo, even while overtaking him he's rarely
come out on top against KOS-MOS. I'm not seeing this as a threat
without some rallying... Though I guess since Arthas isn't total jobber fodder rallying might be a real threat here. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Arthas turns up to be the strongest Blizzard character, good job i say. Looks like Mega Man > KOS MOS is safe now seeing as both Arthas and Diablo are going to fight over the day vote thus reducing their chance to overtake KOS MOS. |

how KOS-MOS' day vote? --- Today: Yoshi > Knuckles - Vote: Knuckles. Tomorrow: Mega Man > KOS-MOS - Vote: Mega Man. |

Not that great from what I've heard. The Blizzard duo and Mega Man would take it. --- Finally a damn bracket! |
| JaKyL25 | Posted 9/4/2007 1:58:17 AM | message detail |
| Arthas doesn't scare me. He'd have to swing 1400
votes to just scrape out a victory at this point, and how often does
that happen even in one-on-one polls, let alone a 4-way with a
Diablotross around his neck. Knuckles swung the vote by what, 1700? I know Knuckles the Echidna, and Arthas, you are no Knuckles the Echidna. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

And by the way I don't believe this makes Arthas the most popular
Blizzard character. Diablo's just the type that'll have his fanbase
abandon him in the presence of heavy hitters like Mega Man. Give me
Diablo to take Arthas out 1v1 without much trouble. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

how KOS-MOS' day vote? Quite weak, she lost the day votes to virtually every of her opponent. Cult RPG character just won't do well during the days. |

Knuckles swung the vote by what, 1700? I know Knuckles the Echidna, and Arthas, you are no Knuckles the Echidna. You underestimate bored wow players when wow is down, and the rallying that can be done. |

Correct is the % of brackets that placed the advancing character in the
right spot. Partial is the % of the brackets that placed the advancing
character in the wrong spot. --- Finally a damn bracket! |

You underestimate bored wow players when wow is down, and the rallying that can be done. Has the Blizzard fanbase ever rallied anything besides a game? Maybe Diablo in the Villains contest, I forget. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Is the rallying really that specific? I always assumed it was more or less "hay guyz go vote for Starcraft!!!!!" People don't really bother to go out rallying unless it can turn the tide of a match... if its like 60-40 or something, it won't matter. But for this, it can be done if rallys are done correctly. |

At this time, Arthas needs to gain an average of 6 votes per update over the course of the day to win. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Oh, and KOS-MOS has extended her lead to its largest point thus far, and looks to continue to rise at least until morning. 1500+ and Arthas has no shot. None. She's 124 away from doing it. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

It just fit my bracket philosophy of the site shifting away from niche
RPGs towards mainstream Nintendo (and by proxy Sega) characters. Hey, it helped me pick Sonic over Crono, and Snake over Mega Man, and Snake over Sonic, and Sephiroth going out in 4th place in the Battle Royal! So what if it failed once? <_< --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

...Oddly enough, everyone in today's match has messed up my bracket at least once (counting Arthas as Warcraft).
