In a match this close, it won't take much for Thrall to win. We all saw
what Arthas did during a half-Tuesday when servers weren't *totally*
down. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

So you're completely discounting anyone who voted for Thrall off of WCIII? --- IF TOAD DOES NOT ADVANCE TO THE SECOND ROUND, I WILL NEVER COME TO GAMEFAQS AGAIN |

I don't think many thrall votes are coming from WoW enthusiasm. The story in that game is close to non-existent. --- Midna was greatly overrated, and I refused to believe it even after Scorpion had been killing her for 1:20, so now I have to have this dumb sig for two months. Go me. |

| *Has 52 points in current tourney and won 1st
place Summer 2005 Character Battle IV (which i wasn't given a prize
even though i had a eligible account/form...) ^_^ Anyway.. agreed with the guy above.. he's a sony character.. don't know why you chose him over thrall/vergil Here's the analysis: -i got thrall winning 2nd here even though i barely know the Warcraft series.. -i'm pretty sure at least 0.50% of the 10 million WoW players will visit the site today -and out of the 0.50% (50,000 WoW players), at least 40% of them (20,000) will be horde fans who will vote for thrall -and the average total vote count according to the previous battles is around 90,000 votes altogether.. -20,000 of 90,000 is roughly 22% -as of right now, the votes are roughly divided as so: Ganon 49%, Ratchet: 13%, Thrall/Verg both 19% Conclusion: Thrall obtains 22% over Vergil at 19% taking 0.30% from Ganon, 1.90% from Ratchet, and 0.80% from Vergil. hahaha what a nerdy analysis ;P haha but that's how I'm viewing it |

Unless its some stupid ITS WCIII FT NOOOOB! comment, but I believe RoC is still online as well as FT. That's like asking if Starcraft still exists.

And Ulti, you need to get over this irrational hate of WoW. It's no
worse than any other MMO, and your argument goes right along with
Counter Strike caused the Columbine shootings and whatnot. People are
responsible for their addictions, not the other way around. --- IF TOAD DOES NOT ADVANCE TO THE SECOND ROUND, I WILL NEVER COME TO GAMEFAQS AGAIN |

Someone was selling one on Amazon (which is where you have to spend all your winnings). I got it for like $2.50ish. It's 3rd-party, but it's made to be just like the Nintendo one. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

hey paraboxx.. keep a note out that I underestimated the percentage of
WoW players visiting the site (i wrote 0.50%.. in reality, i'm thinking
more like 0.75% of 10 million which is 75,000 people basically assuming
that 75% of the people who vote will have played WoW and that 40% of
them which is 30,000 people will vote for thrall) haha my analysis is farfetched, but it's fun analyzing like this ^_^ |

How so? Vergil should do slightly better during the night than during the day, and Thrall should be the inverse of that. Managing to build a 100-vote lead in 2:15 isn't that impressive. If he can get it over 750 by the morning vote I'll start to worry. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |
