Although, honestly, that is DEFINITELY cheating. Frog's 40 votes higher than he usually is.

So how many more topic will be filled up before night's end? X_x

Anyways, the night vote may have been started, which means Axel can say good night. *snore*

Hmm... kinda forgot about the series contest. That could be it, I know for a fact it wasn't the female bracket, but now I can't remember if it was characters or series. I'll take your guys word for it though.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH POSTS MENTIONING THAT FROG IS ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL!

Aww yeah

Anything that adds to the insanity is fine with me. I'd love to see a 4 hour slug fest than Axel keeping his ownage up.

My feedback ticket that Ceej responded to about the poll time changing was in June of 2006. Summer 2005's matches started at 3 AM.


Like I said, my first contest on the board was 2k5 and I remember matches starting late, then in 2k6 I remember the poll time switching and Zachnorn having a hissy fit due to it.

I would like to thank my employer for blocking practically every site under the sun except gamefaqs.com.

I would also like to thank Frog for pissing away what I am going to guess was around a 2k vote lead. In a four-way contest. Yikes. What a tool.

3 hours and 45 minutes to make up 50 votes! <cues Frog theme music>

Nice work.


Eminem didn't seem to be having much fun when e posted that...

OK? Then maybe he's posting about people taking away his fun - which is exactly what you're doing?

...Wrong Football.

You mean soccer then, or NCAA?

This is DEFINITELY rallying/cheating. Aside from the fact that it always is when two characters get tied, look at both of their percentages. Even when they lose/gain on each other, their overall percentages BOTH surge forward.

Well Frog is finally bringing in 90-110 votes for 3 updates in a row now, instead of that pathetic 70-90 range. JUST WAIT TILL THE KIDDIES GO TO BED

It makes sense that when a character is about to, or is losing their lead that people will rally for votes. And with several people rallying 20 extra votes is far from unreasonable.

All former matches pointed to Frog putting up a fight again around 8:30-9:00 so he started 15 minutes early if this keeps up. I don't see what the big deal is.

Thank you EC for being pretty much the only other voice of reason in this topic.

Although I can see them dragging out this stalling until around 10:30 when Frog should start a meaningful comeback. Either way this match ends with less than a 200 vote difference, and we all know never to snub Frog again.

Night vote foreshadowing? Hopefully...

Frog does look like he might be starting to make his stand. Just when it seemed darkest, the noble Frog draws his courage and wills himself forward!
