Yeah, like I was saying a couple days ago, SMB3 is going to establish an unbreakable 4pack record here. A three headed monkey could beat Guybrush's day vote, but considering that a 300 vote lead is practically insurmountable at these percentages, Monkey Island might be all right if it can do anything in the night. If you expect these games to finish around 8%, 50/8=6.25 so a 300 vote lead would be like an 1875 vote lead in a close 1v1. Even a couple hundred votes would be damn hard to come back from - though given how bad Monkey Island will be in the day I'd actually probably expect it to blow a 1000 vote 1v1 lead against SimCity in a 1v1. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Woah, where is all this talk about SimCity at schools coming from? I
never had it at any schools I went to and this is the first I've heard
of it being in schools. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

Needless to say, almost all of Monkey Island's overnight rise will come
from SMB3 - but Mario will munch them all back with a vengeance in the
day. Munch munch munch. Mario hungryyyy --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Why is the same logic about a MI lead being too big to be surmountable
at these levels not being applied to whether or not it can *build* the
lead to begin with? --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

Link over 80%? Yes. That's holding the rest to an average of under 7...80/87=92%. I think Link would get 92% against all those. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Very good update for SimCity there. By the way, SimCity now has 54.59%
of the SimCity/Monkey Island votes. If it had that in a 1v1 with normal
votals, it'd be about time to call it over. As it is, percentages can
fluctuate very quickly with these absurdly low vote totals, so let's
give it more time. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Asking Monkey Island to steal votes from Mario 3 and a fellow PC game for a comeback attempt is fairly ridiculous. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

Yeah, I don't think Monkey Island can do anything but take a small lead, if that. 100 votes is a hell of a lot at this point. I'm surprised Mario 3 hasn't taken off yet, really, but I pegged it at just under 75% so this is good from an Oracle standpoint, at least. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

A thing to consider though. According to vgchartz, I don't see any
sales for Europe for Simcity games... did it not release in europe? If
its going against MI's europe vote without any of its own... --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |
