have we reached 90k yet luster please god i need to know Now we have. It's at 91438. In one day, we just got about 4000 nominations. At this rate, we should pass 100k before nominations close. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

WoW probably gets more anti-votes nowadays, but Pokemon wins the match
easily. It'd be interesting to see what game wins a "Most Hated Game
Ever" Contest though. I think I'd go with FFVII to win that one too! --- Link he come to town |

I broke a game but it had nothing to do with anger. As usual the unnecessary extra words in the poll make it hard to vote X_X --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

UPDATE 100k barrier reached! In fact, we've blown by it easily... currently sitting at 103.5k total noms. I'm sure that would be more like last Summer's 213k had SB put up a banner, but oh well, 100k's a good number. I'm feeling pretty confident about noms going down Friday afternoon now, with SB putting the bracket together over the weekend. *crosses fingers* --- thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon!

For some reason I thought you made that, Albion. Probably because of

ended, hilarious. --- Xuxon |

We've never seen Ike "pre-Brawl". A huge portion of his 2k7 strength
was from his Brawl announcement. Add in that the only times we've seen
FE have a "good" day vote were against Metal Gear and Silent Hill - two
of the worst day votes EVER - and I'm not expecting much of anything
out of it today. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I agree that Ike and Marth's day vote prowess comes from Brawl, but the only chances Fire Emblem had
to show it had a good day vote was against Silent Hill and Metal Gear.
Oh, and FFTA...cn's updater worked in the Spring contest? Huh, I didn't
know/remember that. FE won the day vote in that match as well. But, yeah, FPS, casual bait, blah blah. --- RPGuy on Windows (augh) |
