I don't think we'll really see a day vote until 8 or 9. who gets up at 7am to vote? crazy old people, that's who. and crazy old people vote Alucard. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Yeah, 5-6 should still be dead-in-the-night territory. In fact, even
6-7 should be mostly night vote on the weekend. Day vote should start
creeping in after 7 --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Is there any conceivable explanation as to why a character would turn
things around in the middle of the night? Linking, rallying, or
stuffing. That's where I'd put my money, because a trend reversal like
that last 15 minutes makes zero sense. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Those 15 minutes were insanely weird. How could someone spike for 15
minutes in the middle of the night only to be derailed like nothing.

that last 15 minutes makes zero sense. Liquid stayed relatively steady at 90-100 votes per update during the "spike." Alucard was the one that just dropped off, going from 90-100 votes to around 60. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Actually, Liquid's been getting mostly 70-80 vote updates like everyone
else. It wasn't until recently that Liquid started to spike and get
90-100 votes. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

everyone else. It wasn't until recently that Liquid started to spike
and get 90-100 votes. That's not too big of a stretch, though, as night slowly turns to day. Alucard just really fell off the wagon for 15 minutes. I guess as the sun rises he had to go close all of his shades. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |
| Draco1214 | Posted 9/22/2007 2:15:05 AM | message detail |

But now, Liquid's starting to pull 70-80 vote updates again regularly
like before. Something smells fishy about those 15 minutes... --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Poll: At what point does Lead 2 become too large to reasonably fear a Ness comeback. 1750? 2000? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Around the time that Liquid spiked there was a sharp decline in total
votes per update. It went from averaging 300 to around 250. The sudden
drop in the average probably just resulted in a temporary anomaly or
something like that --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

yeah, that was definitely a weird 15 minutes. I won't attach any significance to it though. we can blame it when Ness loses by 100 votes though !! --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Well Ness wasn't exactly winning...well maybe for like 10 minutes? The way things are going now, I'd say he's pushing his luck. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

I don't know how much more of this beatdown Ness can take. He better hope the morning/day vote is very kind to him... --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

1000 votes? that's nothin'. 1500? now we're talking. 2000? possible, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. 2500? sorry, fat kid. I'm more curious to see who the day vote favours between Alucard and Liquid.. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

I'm thinking Alucard sucks less than Liquid, by the way. Liquid doing
better as the night vote gets more pronounced makes it seem like it
will be the other way around come daytime... still kind of confused as to why he's going on random 5am tears, but eh. this contest is weird. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Liquid starting gaining at first more than Alucard though, remember? Then Alucard went into his whole night vote mode. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

Heh, random trivia: Alucard did better with the day vote against Auron
than Crono (losing 3% as opposed to 5%...lol Crono's day vote). --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Seriously....if it ends up being Liquid > Alucard, I'm gonna be kind
of annoyed. I've love to see Liquid take first but my bracket. I
figured with 3 characters being PS1, Ness would be able to take first
without it looking like this. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |
