It is a bit boring, yeah. I recommend some more spice as well!

Feel free to change it anything TOU friendly over the course of our bet though.

What are Sonic's reasons for strength that Mega Man doesn't have?

More popular games. Not for nothing was Sonic the first videogame character in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

I feel the same way. Mega Man doing so amazingly awful is more spellbinding than the match where the biggest lead has been 25. I mean,

I know Mega Man's match pic sucks, but damn, Pac-Man's match pic really, really sucks. No way would this be a match if Pac-Man actually had a screenshot or something for a match pic.

Biggest gain of the match for Oregon Trail: 38 votes! Perhaps it wants to build a bit of a lead before the inevitable collapse after 4 AM?

38 vote gain by Oregon Trail (-12 to 26). We could be in for one long night here.


Damnit Mega Man 2, you're about to let yourself get cut by Oregon Trail?

Nope, still banned.

Agh! Technical error. My bad...I ended up banning guests, which I was unaware of as I was logged in as admin. Stupid NULL not being the same as 0 grr.

If something like this happens again people can just let me know at creativename@gamefaqscontests.com

I don't think it's clear at all unless you think Halo 3 was responsible for a pretty large boost.

And you *don't* think Halo 3 was the cause of pretty much the entire boost...? I find that quite surprising.

Not at all. Halo 3 even got some backlash from a lot of places. I'm not saying it's not possible or that it didn't cause Chief to boost, but I don't think that should be the reason for all of the boost.

OK wise guy, append this to your sig too then :)

Most people have it coming in 1st next round.

Look at the analysis crew's MM2 percentages.

I still believe in that small family. I still believe in the indomitable human spirits that allows us ford rivers, traverse unknown terrain, and persevere through hunger, cold, and dysentery for the prospects of a better life.

I... believe.
