I know you're both reading this, and I'd like to let you know that
you're the worst vote-stuffers ever. You're cheating and Axel is
gaining anyway. At least Romero caused some damage. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

If someone linked a forum to it? Plenty to make a difference when it's this close. True. I hadn't thought along those lines until Ulti's second post. Ahh... too crazy! I wonder how stringent SB will be about cheaters. Hopefully more than CJayC was, because he seemed to discredit a lot of cheating votes that could have easily swayed the way the match went. --- Upon having Rosie O'Donnell corner him in the forest, the pizza delivery man knew how a Goomba felt when Mario got a star. ~ SSJ3 Popo |

Do you really think that site is getting any traffic whatsoever though? Besides, it's obvious that any stuffing here is going on for both sides. The match has been following the trends to a T. Right now is the time I'd expect Frog to start making some kind of move. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

They should just let everyone vote as many times as they want. Then the

voting over and over. The new noble nine would consist of all FF characters. --- Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation. |

Umm, it's doubtful that they would block votes with non-gamefaqs
referral headers if they haven't already. It's a basic social
engineering trick. I'm sure CJayC has thought about blocking votes with
bad headers or implementing a token system on the poll. Until someone
abuses it on a massive scale, it's not worth the trouble in "fixing" it. --- Save the cheerleader, save the world. o_0 The Ohio State University: We are so much better than m*ch!g@n. |

OH OH OH, right. Wait. Gotcha. Earilier in the topic comments.

Match IV: Agent 47 vs Kratos Aurion vs Midna vs Scorpion Information: Name: Agent 47 Game/Series From: Hitman series Past Contests: CB2k5 Wins: None Losses: Sora (2k5) Name: Kratos Aurion Game/Series From: Tales of Symphonia Past Contests: CB2k5 Wins: None Losses: Diablo (2k5) Name: Midna Game/Series From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Name: Scorpion Game/Series From: Mortal Kombat series Past Contests: CB2k2, CB2k3, CB2k4 Wins: Kazuya (2k2), Max Payne (2k2), Pac-Man (2k2) Losses: Link (2k2), Zero (2k3), Auron (2k4) Analysis: Well this should be an interesting match we have a new character, two characters have had only one match in the past and a character that isn’t very strong. I can see three of the characters advancing in any way. I don’t think this match will be as great as yesterday’s match, but if it is we’re in for one of the most unforgettable contests ever. First let’s talk about the character I don’t see advancing, while Agent 47 wasn’t as weak as some members of board eight first thought he only got 30% on pre-KHII Sora. To put that to perspective Tingle got 25% on post-KHII Sora and most people would agree that Midna is much stronger than Tingle. As for him taking second back in 2k4 Scorpion got about the same percent as Ness did again Auron and I wouldn’t take Agent 47 over Ness even if Scorpion has dropped a bit. Midna, according to the board has the best chances to take first in this match. From what I’ve got from playing the game Midna is the Navi in Twilight Princess, except she’s not annoying and the story pretty much revolves around her. It also doesn’t hurt that Twilight Princess was ranked Game of the Year by several gaming sites and was the game to get for the Wii until MP3 which only came out just last week. I think people are over estimating the strength of Midna. People have her ranked just a tier below Zelda and Ganondorf and some people have her as strong as Master Chief. Personally I don’t see Midna being that much stronger than the characters in this poll. Scorpion has had the most contest experience than all of the characters, but that doesn’t mean that he’s strong. We haven’t seen Scorpion since 2k4 so his strength could be very different. Scorpion has had a few games under his belt since his last contest appearance so that should at least maintain his 2k4 strength if not make him stronger. I don’t think he’ll be as strong as Sub-Zero who by the way was able to do better against a post-KHII Auron than Scorpion. Looking at people’s prediction it looks like Scorpion is the favorite to take second. Finally we have Kratos who lost to Diablo in the first round back in 2k5. Kratos is from a type of game where it was very popular when it was released, but people forget about years after the release. Kratos is usually ranked as the most popular Tales of Symphonia character and being a fan favorite could help him in a four way poll. In the end I think Midna will take first with Scorpion not that far behind and Kratos not far behind him. Agent 47 will take last and won’t be in the match. This could be our fourth close poll in a row and we’re only in our fourth match. Too bad I’ve lost by perfect, darn you Axel. charmander6000’s Bracket: Midna > Scorpion charmander6000’s Prediction: Midna - 29.72%, Scorpion - 27.85%, Kratos Aurion - 25.16%, Agent 47 - 17.27% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 3: Samus Aran > Frog Points: 8/8 |
