No, but people are being dumber than normal lately. Noms being up a
long time (when they were put up VERY EARLY) is not a bad thing. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸ Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Diablo 2, Lunar: SSSC |

The longer the nomination period the better, less chance we wind up with a bracket of rallied games and flavor of the months. --- (\__/) Meet Ziggy,the Evil Bunny who wants to take over the world and eat the flesh of the weak. (='.'=] Put Ziggy in your sig to support his cause. |

yeah, SB has turned brackets out pretty quickly. I dunno though, I
don't see him putting this one up quickly. this might take a while. --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

Any speculation about whether Bacon was waiting for GameRankings to
come back up before closing noms so he could use them for seeding and
crap? --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

From: M_e_g_a_6_4 | Posted: 3/3/2009 5:57:23 PM | #355 This actually sounds like a really good idea. I like having us nominate stuff, then giving weight to review scores. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸ Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Diablo 2, Lunar: SSSC |

GR was only down for a couple weeks. this was what, three months? it's possible, but it was still a really long nomination period. it's really not something to freak out over but it was definitely a bit excessive. --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

I figured SB did what he did for his board-contests and took the
numbers for any relevant games by the time the nominations were ever
posted. Could be wrong though. --- Play Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (1 and 2) for Gameboy Advance today |

Hm, this poll could be sort of interesting for the upcoming contest.
Way back when (top 10 time!) we had a poll that showed Halo (1) had 48%
ownership (and the negative responses were pretty negative - not my
type and not interested). http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2178 --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

GR was only down for a couple weeks. It was down for like 1-2 weeks, I think. The cause of the downtime was an SQL injection to the site. I can't ever recall the nom page being 404'd before...

Holy smokes, HaR just went 2/2! He can complete the perfect triple by also picking GE over any third person shooter as well! --- thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon! (thengamer.com/xstats & board8.wikia.com are neat) |

I would take FO3 over all. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Second thought, I should probably consider that. Maybe I'm too
confident in where MGS4/Brawl stand, but would figure MGS4 is at least
= to MGS2. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3358 Hmm.. yeah, after looking at this poll, I can see the comparison was pretty dumb. Well, in that case, I can only guarantee it over Gears. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

I'd take Fallout 3 over all 3 of them. SMRPG and SOTN are aging, and I'm not too confident in Gears. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

Both games may be aging, but Fallout 3 may not even be on their tier. However, what makes me doubt this is how close it was to MGS4. It just depends on the relation of MGS4's or Brawl's strength. Would they ever break 40% on Goldeneye.. ever? Would they easily escape a doubling from Chrono Trigger.. ever? --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Personally I don't have much faith in Fallout 3 though RPG/SotN/Fallout
3 would be a good three pack. I don't see Gears of War having much
strength. --- 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. |

I'll be damned if I take either of those games over Goldeneye. Here's an interesting thing I thought about from today's poll though: Halo 3 or Gears 2? --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

From: charmander6000 | #1951 RE 4 will more than likely be a 1 seed. I think that is really going to boost it alot farther than it would have been. Of course Galaxy will probably be a 1 as well. That said, if TP was not a Zelda game I would take RE 4 running away. Since it is.

From: charmander6000 | #1953 I knew someone would bring this up. We all know that Starcraft cheated, it would be shown about a 1,000 times that tournament. That is not a normal circumstance and you know it. As for X Stats saying Halo would have beat WW. BS, Halo would have lost to Kingdom Hearts in round 2 by a healthy margin, let alone touched FF X, WW, and SSBM. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

TP > RE4 > Galaxy. Even if it is a Mario game, I don't see Galaxy hanging up there with RE4. TP shouldn't have much problem coming out on top of this group, if that GotC poll was anything to go by. --- Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! |

I'm not so sure Halo would have lost to Kingdom Hearts, though I agree
it wouldn't have come close to WW or SSBM. Remember that Starcraft did
not need a comeback of any sort to beat KH- it led wire to wire and
never got into any difficulty. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |
