Link is cruising up to 60% already. I think he'll finish at 70%.

If 4Chan only rallies for Pokemon, maybe Leon > Pikachu > Tidus/Vivi is possible.

Damn 4Chan.

You can ignore transparent proxy votes, but I'm not sure if they'd even do that. Anonymous and High Anonymous proxies would be a lot tougher to isolate.


A site like this would definitley be able to ignore transparent proxy votes. Hell, *I* could probably design a code to block them. Anonymous and High Anonymous would be tougher to isolate, but not impossible for a major site like this.

Well, at least I got in the Guru top 10 for a day.

Which is basically what I said. You can ignore transparent proxy votes - but would they? I doubt that's currently hard-coded. They might check the forwarded_for to see if that IP already voted, but I don't think they'd just block them. I doubt very many of these are transparent proxies though, they're probably anon and high anon.

And high anonymous would be extremely difficult, if not for Ceej's IP block analysis or whatever Batman-style detective thing he did that one time.

I doubt very many of these are transparent proxies though, they're probably anon and high anon.

Of course it's hard-coded. Why do you think the five minute update was implemeted? Obviously before it updates, it weeds out trans. proxy votes. That is the purpose of the five minute updates. It hones in for that time period.

And high anonymous would be extremely difficult, if not for Ceej's IP block analysis or whatever Batman-style detective thing he did that one time.


Not just anyone can stuff with high anon. I'm convinced all we're seeing is trans.

What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with it.

Oh come one. Virtually every proxy list and service out there is mostly anon and high anon.

Cloud had 54.5 % at this time during his match. Cloud then proceed to get 61% at the end.

I think Link should have no problem reaching at least 65% at the end of the match.
