He caught a lot of flak for being really annoying, not for having Hogger. I barely caught any flak for having Zidane even though pick was just as out there, simply because I acknowledged how ridiculous the pick was. Albion...did not.

In fairness if any of you got off your ass and rallied for one of the other two instead of whining about Albion then he wouldn't be having his way.

Yeah Smurf that's a big unfair. The FF or Disgaea fanbases are hardly as utterly mindless as the WoW fanbase so it'd be a lot harder to rally.

Today's prediction: Dante 46.59% - Ramza 23.25% - Hogger 16.10% - Laharl 14.06%
Status: Terrible, once again
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/15/2008 10:34:56 AM | message detail
I just realized this match is basically up to Laharl now. The ASV will not be kind to Ramza.

we are so screwed

Well, mmo-champion is taking 3 minutes to load pages for me atm, so this is Ramzas time to shine if he can take advantage of it. Once the site starts working again he should be buried

Hogger is getting 10-20 votes each update due to this if you look at the updates vs. Albion saying that the site is down.

Go RKO yourself.

Albion, you kind of scare me...

If we're not careful, then Hogger may very well be this year's "pandora's box" character. Last year it was L-Block...God knows if it could be Hogger too.

Hogger has a reputation as a particularly dangerous foe, primarily because he is one of, if not the first elite mobs a human will meet. Thus new players will sometimes, not knowing what the elite tag indicates, horribly underestimate him and be killed with great ease.

oh my god

You're also forgetting this is possibly Hoggers weakest day, being the day after a patch when most wow players are too busy playing wow to bother voting.

Give him different date, and he'll be stronger

HaRRicH | Posted 10/15/2008 11:27:10 AM | message detail
I think what Harrich is saying is that rallying ruins the good feelings of the match. If it's less about who can win what time periods and more about one or two people bombarding the internet for votes, it's a lot less fun.

Eh, yeah, though I don't care about this match or (now) my bracket; it's only exciting because it's close...which, while Albion is doing a good job of making it a close three-way instead of a close two-way "legally" (rallying's legal though I'm not convinced cheating isn't involved here), it's only him. His influence alone is keeping Hogger close here. Blizzard characters being weak without rallying or not, anytime a Blizzard game/character has been rallied before, it was a movement. This seems to be just you, barring these voters you're bringing here. That's what I dislike.

Again, hypocritical to a degree since I'm okay with some rallying or a big movement, and I did fully expect rallying today (though I didn't think it would be enough)...just saying it's frustrating to see in one of my personally most apathetic matches.
