For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote, because the Zelda fanbase so clearly sided with him. X-Stats - Short form of Extrapolated Statistics, aka the mathematical "strength" of a contestant that can be determined based on their performance in any given matchup. See above for a detailed explanation of the x-stat process. BL - Base Link refers to the original 50% value applied to Link in 2002, and is the basis for all x-stats since. For instance if someone says that Vincent is at "36.25% on the 2007 x-stats," what they're really saying is that Vincent would manage over 36% of the vote against 2002 Link. |

just out of curiosity, how do you determine what characters from
different years would get on Base Link? Do you assume that one
character remained constant between the two years and make the stats
from there? --- Got crushed by Explicit Content in the Guru Contest! http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=6054&group=4&game=6&diff=4 |

how do you determine what characters from different years would get on Base Link? First we calculate the Extrapolated Standings for every character relative to the top performer that year. Next we take a few characters to seem to remain the most constant and use least squares computations to find the factor to convert the Extrapolated Standings to BL.

True enough. Stats from last year are impossible and would be
absolutely worthless if someone could get them anyway. The stats from
2006 are not much better. I'm kinda wondering if Bacon is going to try another twist this year, or if he'll just go back to a traditional 64 character battle. Could it be time for the Tag Team!? (...Hopefully not) --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Can't Bacon appoint some sort of "Contest Moderator" to take care of

like TRE or NGamer are certainly qualified, and I bet they'd jump at
the chance. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

though hopefully TRE gets a chance to bring it up to date soon Done http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/Polls.html BL is almost a worthless base now since we haven't had a good read on Link compared to the rest of the field since...what, 2005? Base Link is just the name of the unit. It doesn't actually need Link to be in the contest. We just need a couple characters that appeared the previous year and probably haven't changed too much. Also, we haven't had a good Extrapolated Standings value for Link in a while so he wouldn't be very useful for determining the stats even if he was in the contest. --- What do you think of the planetarium?

| Ngamer64 | Posted 6/18/2008 8:34:34 PM | message detail |
| Good update TRE! Also, he hit it right on the
head- "Base Link" is only a term, since Link's actual year to year
value isn't determining anything. For the most part the BL conversions
through the years have had the most to do with keeping Crono more or
less constant... which was working just fine up until the last couple
years. So yeah, we could call the BL concept anything really; no doubt
Leon won't be happy until we change the name to Base Snake! Yeah yo, I've been pushing for SB to set up a Contest Administrator position for a long while now, and I can't understand why he continues to drag his feet. Whenever CJay got in over his head he realized where he stood and brought in help, as when the boards exploded and he elected the initial Mods or when the ticket queue exploded and he hired on an Administrator or when the servers exploded and he brought in CNET. The Contests have exploded the past couple years, and yet SB sits around trying to do all the site work himself in only 40 hours a week and barely scrapping by. He needs to just focus on clearing the queue, improving those new features he's so fond of, and allow someone else to take the Contests off his plate. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer.

I agree 100%. I don't fault Bacon at all for not giving us a contest so
far this year. While we may at times forget in the comfort of our Board
8 nook, GameFAQs is still an extremely popular site, and SB has only
recently (less than a year) found himself in the do-all position of one
of the most popular websites on the Internet. That'll take a toll on
anyone, and anyone can understand why a new contest wouldn't be atop of
his list of things to do. Like you, though, I really wish he'd share some of the contest load. He has a veritable goldmine of people in this very topic who will put countless hours into setting up a contest, and we'd do it willingly and passionately. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Asked Ceej about this ages ago, there are legal issues against it.
We'll never see an unpaid member of the site running a contest that
offers monetary prizes. Fine, I'll do it for a dollar. --- i got nuthin |

I'd do it for about tree-fitty. So, HM/Leonhart/anybody else who has played it, we know MGS4 is being largely well-received...is Solid Snake still as cool as ever (perhaps even...cooler?) in it? --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

HM will say he's better than I ever -- I say he's kinda plain and boring, but nothing bad. the character that will boost from MGS4 the most is Raiden. he kinda steals the show multiple times. --- xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy |

Snake's great in MGS4 -- far and away the best character. He doesn't
have the same kind of 'cool factor' going for him that someone like
Raiden does, in that he isn't a 'ninja' with crazy action scenes, but
Snake's never had those. He doesn't get much better than he is in MGS4
-- and it should do a lot of good things for him come contest time. --- Where there are cardboard boxes, there will always be Solid Snake. |

Solid Snake is as good as he's ever been in MGS4. He certainly won't go
down because of the game, if that's what you're afraid of. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

It's close. Snake in MGS2 was top of the line, but it doesn't get much better than Old Snake. all about the cigs --- Where there are cardboard boxes, there will always be Solid Snake. |

Oh, I was NOT afraid of Solid dropping...I just didn't know if it was the same Solid that made him popular or not. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Nothing to worry about in that regard. Snake is the main focus of the game, and he's still as great as ever. Interested to see how Raiden, Liquid/Ocelot (although I imagine the boost will affect Ocelot the most), and...a certain other character will do if they get into the next contest. --- "But you have been given freedom.
