Wow, Ocelot is holding up better than I would have expected him to at
this point. At this rate Marcus should still overtake him with room to
spare... but it's the weekend. We have a second night vote.
Interesting... --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| We really don't have a second night vote on the
weekends, it's not like the poll suddenly ends later or something. The
day vote is just dragged out instead of being condensed into the ASV.
It's been said before, but Ocelot was losing % all the way to the end
of his last match, and that was on a weekend. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

We really don't have a second night vote on the weekends *bzzzt* We're sorry, you must not have been present during Liquid/Alucard/Ness/Zidane Ocelot lost percentage to the end of the match, sure, but that's not indicative of there being no second night vote (especially since Cloud tends to gain like crazy until the end of a match). If the RATE of loss is affected, that's also indicative of a second night vote. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario.

| Karma Hunter | Posted 10/7/2007 11:53:01 AM | message detail |
| And don't miss the point of the afterschool vote
'extending' the day vote, either. It may be condensed, but it drags out
the gaining nonetheless. Look at Axel for chrissakes (and he would have
likely been gaining right through that final hour if he and Frog
weren't so close). --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Heck just yesterday we saw Frog stop going down and start going back up around 10 PM. I think technically there was a second night vote in Ocelot's first match too. Problem is, if you look at it, it's Cloud who improved with it. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

In summer, we've always had a second night vote, it was part of the
lexicon far before 'ASV' ever even entered our minds. Nowadays we start
at 12 EST instead of 1 EST, which weakens it a bit (and significantly
compared to when the poll ended at 3 EST), but it's still there. It's
just that the afterschool vote tends to overpower it, and our night
vote is replaced by a 'night stall'. I'd be surprised if Marcus kept gaining like this on Ocelot in the night. Though he really wouldn't have to at this rate I think... --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |
| PortugalTheMann | Posted 10/7/2007 11:59:51 AM | message detail |
| My point is the weekend doesn't matter, we have a
second night vote no matter what. You said it yourself, the only
requirement for the night vote is for the rate of your gains to slow
down, and I'm pretty sure that happens even during weekday matches. I
have no idea why it's being brought up that the weekend night vote is going to save him. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

We really don't have a second night vote on the weekends, it's not
like the poll suddenly ends later or something. The day vote is just
dragged out instead of being condensed into the ASV. It's been said
before, but Ocelot was losing % all the way to the end of his last
match, and that was on a weekend. Everybody other than Cloud was losing percentage for the *entire* match during that poll. That was most likely just due to anti-votes for Cloud wearing off throughout the entire day. We also have plenty of indication that there is a second night vote on the weekends. Rikku gained in percentage from ~5:30 to the end of the poll (albeit Knuckles didn't stop gaining either, he just slowed down massively). Yoshi also dropped almost 1.50% in that poll from 1:00 PM to the end of it as well. Auron increased with it/Shadow dropped off, The Boss used it to build up her lead against Tails, Alucard came back against Liquid with it, etc. To be honest, I'm surprised that Fenix is still coming back. In most cases, the day vote has worn off by now on the weekends. --- "Look out-- It's Liquids and Gases!" |

Looks like that match was pretty much the same throughout the afternoon
on. Well, this match will probably be different since a couple of polar
opposites have entered into it(Marcus and Kefka) --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 10/7/2007 12:01:43 PM | message detail |

You miss the point again, EC. My entire
point is that the night vote is not overshadowed by the afterschool
vote on weekends, which is what gives us an ACTUAL second night vote.
It's the reason for Alucard's comeback against Liquid - it *does* exist. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| And yeah, I'm thinking things look best for Marcus
now (especially with updates like that one), but the second night vote
still keeps potential for it to be interesting either way. What's
notable is that like the morning vote and the afterschool vote, the
first night vote is not necessarily indicative of how the second night
vote... for example, I don't expect Kefka to improve much because his
night vote (and voting in general) is so dang front-loaded. Fenix's
second night might not be nearly as pitiful as his first one. There's
an element of unpredictability there. Interesting note: if you think Kefka is getting significantly SFFed by Cloud here, then you have to think that with a comparable force (like Link), he could conceivably get second here. Which is odd to say the least given last round... --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

I don't think Kefka's getting hit by too much SFF here, to be honest.
