There are too many factors, but then again, in a 4-way match there are
a lot of factors that influence the voting. I dunno about this last
place stuff, but I'm absolutely convinced that the casual bait thing
exists. Recognizability is huge and if a casual voter comes along and
hasn't played most of the games represented in the bracket, they'll
vote for who they know or who looks cool. Last year's contest showed me
this over and over again (and ate my bracket alive in the process), so
I'm pretty well convinced now. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |

The cheaters have run out of reserves it's all Scorpion time now tbqh.

possibility of Gordon doing well that they label him as cheating.

| Dead Rising's about a reporter caught in the middle of the whole mess when he has someone fly him into the zone the government's blocked off. He's got to find a way to round up the survivor's, get his story, and get back to when the pilot returns before he gets torn apart. He just doesn't have to worry about zombies, but people that have gone insane, and cultists as well. The pictures just give you bonuses, and you can view them any time. |
| Dark_Spiral | Posted 9/29/2008 5:18:33 PM | message detail |
| And Potato, I found it odd they were so close and Scorpion caught up Gordon would suddenly gain a lead in the amount of around eighty votes continually. However, those aside, Gordon still would've been in contention. Now while eighty votes doesn't sound like a lot? Someone that's vote stuffing would be clever enough not to put too many votes in at once to draw attention. I think it should've been a lot closer initially, imo but it's hard to tell without any definitive proof |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 9/29/2008 5:20:39 PM | message detail |
| Scorpion's starting to look a LITTLE better now.
He's really taking off with his lead here, and he's breached 30% now.
Still waiting for Big Daddy to win an update over Gordon. He's come
close. And I thought Kaim looked cooler than that. Might need to revise my Oracle... --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

And if you had paid attention to the vote totals instead of the lead
you would see that whenever someone one an update it was because the
other guy dropped off. Not stuffing. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I still find amusing that some people here are so astounded by the
possibility of Gordon doing well that they label him as cheating It's not that he's doing well, it's how he's doing well. During most of the day it's like Scorp gain scorp gain -> GORDON SPIKE stall -> scorp gain scorp gain. And this pattern continued for hours. And then now he just crumbles for no reason at all. It's just weird to me. I mean Gordon is impressing anyway, even if he is cheating it couldn't be more than a couple of thousand votes which would still put this match way closer than I thought it'd be. But the patterns are there. It's not because "I'm astounded"... I don't do this with every character that pulls out the unexpected. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |
