# Nominating obvious "joke" games (i.e. low rated or extremely obscure
games with silly names) will invalidate all of your nominations. Unlike
the Character Battle, we actually want users to decide the best game of
all time, and Big Rigs just doesn't fit. # User nominations will count for 1/3 of the bracket seeding; the other 2/3 will be based on professional review scores and GameFAQs user rating and review scores. Good call. --- http://i34.tinypic.com/9hmjrr.gif http://i36.tinypic.com/2hehbis.gif |

# User nominations will count for 1/3 of the bracket seeding; the other
2/3 will be based on professional review scores and GameFAQs user
rating and review scores. Woot we might not have a bunch of crappy Nintendo games afterall! Since 2/3 will be review score, expect games like Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Gears --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

15 noms... aka 4 way woot allen And I know everyone's going "oh no, another four way", but I'm really hoping that's not the case and the 15 nominations are just misleading. A four-way really would totally invalidate any semblance of credibility that these results will have, so that would pretty badly contradict the rule against joke games. So like, either this isn't a four way, or Allen has absolutely no idea what he's doing. I really hope it's the former. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, FastFalcon05 |

From: MoogleKupo141 | #307 People tried to find a reason why 15 noms for 2k8 character contest didn't mean 4 way. It didn't... unless it'll be 128 characters AND 1v1, we're getting 4way --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

I'm really encouraged by Bacon wanting a serious result. That means a
lot more than the number of nominations- I'm sure he could get enough
noms for a 4-way bracket with 10 noms per person. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, your 5 time contest champion, Link, and the Guru Champion FastFalcon |

Was there a rally contest? What won it,? --- FastFalcon believed in Snake. I didn't. |

Only games actually released to the public should be nominated - prototypes and beta games will not be considered. Obviously... Games across multiple platforms will be rolled up into a single game, so it is not necessary to nominate the same game on all of them. Please only nominate a game once, no matter how many platforms it appears on. Good I think a lot of games on multiple consoles didn't make it to last contest. Using multiple accounts to nominate more than 15 games or the same game multiple times will invalidate all of your nominations. Old rules... Nominating obvious "joke" games (i.e. low rated or extremely obscure games with silly names) will invalidate all of your nominations. Unlike the Character Battle, we actually want users to decide the best game of all time, and Big Rigs just doesn't fit. Thank you SB. User nominations will count for 1/3 of the bracket seeding; the other 2/3 will be based on professional review scores and GameFAQs user rating and review scores. So expect casual games to get high seeds and cult games to get lower seeds. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Congratulations to FastFalcon for winning the guru contest, you are the best among the best. |

So much for Phoenix Wright getting in this year with review scores being 2/3rd of this. User nominations will still be the reason why games get picked, just don't expect PW to get a high seed. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Congratulations to FastFalcon for winning the guru contest, you are the best among the best. |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #320 Yeah, expect World of Warcraft to get a really high seed, unlike the low seeds you were all betting on.

Why yikes? If Starcraft is really that strong it should get a high
seed. No need for it to be taking out big hitters in the early rounds. --- all hail ec your lord and savior except FastFalcon, he's so legit you must bow down to his ass too. |

It's just scary to think of Starcraft (or anything Blizzard-related,
really) getting essentially byes in a contest and wait until later to
show off their strength. --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge. How bad was it? ...I don't want to talk about it. |

Nah, that weakens Starcraft. It won't have as much time to build its
momentum by making comebacks. I'd love to see Starcraft make another
huge run of upsets though; it was one of the biggest highlights of the
2004 contest. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, your 5 time contest champion, Link, and the Guru Champion FastFalcon |

From: Fayt_Esteed | #346 Due to the new clause, why won't it be? It'll obviously get enough noms to maek the field, and its the third highest rated game of all time now, and 2/3rd of seeding is from that.
