From creativename Posted 9/5/2007 7:41:46 PM #089 Two topics+ were filled by this match? Damn. Was it all just update type discussion or was anything meaningful discussed? I hope Frog can hang on here...even if he does, he'll be the huge dog now in the next round, but it would suck if he loses here. I get the feeling though that Axel is going to take the lead, and just when he starts building it a little bit, Frog's night vote will kick in and reverse the trend. That would be great. (though the thing is, with cheating having such a leveraged effect in this match, Frog's night vote could easily by countered by it) If anyone has been cheating, it's Frog. Look at his updates. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

I think Axel's comeback nearly proves that somebody "limiting"
another's day vote is meaningless, or at least, we can't ever assume
such a thing. Diablo didn't do so good yesterday, though... maybe
because of Arthas or something. And, considering Knuckles made a vote swing of something like 1500 votes with Rikku, and I wouldn't call Rikku's day vote that bad... why didn't I see this coming? Well, I was being pessimistic, really. --- "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." |

So I've been working all day, and this is the first look I've had at
the poll. Damn, Axel, damn. It would be awesome if Axel beat Frog
(well, not for my bracket). Now I'm wishing I hadn't "wasted" my vote

I still don't understand why everyone is getting excited. There's still
4 hours of night votey goodness to go. I said that Axel needed at least
a 200 vote lead by the end of the after school vote (about 8 EST) to
have a shot. It's going to be back and forth for a while, but
eventually Frog will pull away. The question is, can Axel ride out the
last bit of the after school vote to make this another epicdary Frog
match? TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

If Frog can maintain the lead until 8:30 (debatable, and doubtful), I
think it's really going to slow down, and a lot. Until 9:30 Axel can
continue to make small gains, until 10-10:30 it'll go even, and
hopefully the last hour and a half Frog can make a push to make the
small comeback. It's basically all I have left to hope for. Also, why is everyone saying "OMGWTF THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM TAKING FROG WTF AUGH" when every close match he's ever been in he's won (other than Snake, but really, did any of you get burned by Frog > Solid picks?). Calm it down. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

How has frog been cheating? The actual number of votes he's gotten per update have been jumping all over the place while Axel's been consistent on that front. --- Rangers 0 0 0 5 0 9 0 10 6 . 30 29 1 Orioles... 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 . 0 . 3 .. 9 ..1 |

I get the feeling though that Axel is going to take the lead, and
just when he starts building it a little bit, Frog's night vote will
kick in and reverse the trend. That would be great. It would make for an even more awesome match, but will Frog's night vote be anywhere near as potent now that the poll starts three hours earlier? I have my doubts, but then again, I didn't expect this from Axel when I left for class today, so I could be wrong. (though the thing is, with cheating having such a leveraged effect in this match, Frog's night vote could easily by countered by it) If anything, I imagine more people would be "cheating" (or rallying, anyway) for Frog. He seems to have more hardcore fans, and his bracket supporters (of which I am one, but meh) are the ones who must be thinking up ways to try and stop this collapse. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If anyone has been cheating, it's Frog. Look at his updates. Which ones? And I certainly didn't mean to imply that Axel has been cheating, I haven't been following the match. Axel backers cheating already never even occurred to me. I was just saying that cheating could well have an effect here - this match will very possibly finish with a difference of less than 100 votes. And since Frog would normally be assumed to take the night vote, cheating in favor of Axel would probably have more motivation, since Frog is less likely to need it. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Frog has been fairly consistent. Never much less than 80, never much more than 100, usually somewhere in between. Axel increased from 60-80 per to about 140 per, and he's slowly cooling down. 112 last update, 102 the one before. If Axel continues to cool and if frog picks his up to around 90 or so, Axel will stop these huge gains soon. But of course we expect Frog to not only stall him but start taking votes back. He is frog after all and the night vote begins very, very soon. --- Eff Dee |

It would make for an even more awesome match, but will Frog's night
vote be anywhere near as potent now that the poll starts three hours
earlier? I have my doubts, but then again, I didn't expect this from
Axel when I left for class today, so I could be wrong. It isn't that Frog needs a night vote, so much as Kingdom Hearts characters just seem to die off after their after school pushes. Hell, every just look at Kairi/Claire or even Jill/Peach to see that the trends are startlingly similar. The only difference is that Frog has managed to hold onto his lead through the after school vote while Claire and Jill both had to mount relatively big comebacks with the second night vote.

XD Oh man, I last checked in at 3 PM EST (About 5 hours ago) and thought Frog had this locked. He had about a 1900 lead and seemed to be stalling Axel, and I figured the after-school vote was coming into effect already.
