Oh god. The 300 vote barrier... the reason nobody can come back from it in this match is because it goes up by destroying the updater --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

Guybrush starts falling the moment the sun rises in Eastern US. So like 6:30 AM EST or so he starts a big drop, but around 8:30 is when he really rolls over completely. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

Its a weekend though so he should last longer. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |

It'll last longer than on a weekday, but if Monkey Island doesn't have
a lead by 6 AM I'm pretty sure it's over regardless of Sim City's
trends. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

Even then, whatever Super Mario Bros 3 doesn't rape in terms of day votes probably going to the bigger name, and that's SimCity. --- Donkey Kong Country 2's path to Best Game Ever '09. vs. Super Mario RPG, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2. Ugh, my top 3 games in the same match. |

Thing is though, in a close match down to the wire, I'd go with the hardcore fanbase due to rallying/stuffing. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |

Which is why Monkey Island needs at least 2 hours of not being ass
(see: everything from 8:30 or so on) of lead building to have any
chance. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

Updates to 6 AM: 24 (unless I'm really tired and screwed this math up somehow, which is very possible) SimCity > Monkey Island by 226 MI votes/update to lead at 6 AM: 9.416 It's on a decent pace to lead at 6 AM, which I guess at least counts as a moral victory even if SimCity kills it badly during the day. If it slows down at all though, it's in deep trouble. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

At this rate SimCity's lead is going to be gone by 6-something, Eastern Standard nail-biter! --- 16/20 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest NP: Super Mario Bros. 3 > SimCity | http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=4 |

...holy crap, is this happening? GO MONKEY ISLAND, I don't even care that I have Sim City in my bracket. I had started a topic before, but then I realized there was already discussion in here and it seemed redundant. >_> --- Like an imploding star, like a burning car, my style shines so bright! |

This is MI's best time, so its to be expected to do better than how it
was. On paper this is only going to last until around 8, so it's still
very up in the air. --- 16/20 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest NP: Super Mario Bros. 3 > SimCity | http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=4 |

It's so weird in this format to see the first place game winning by
200+ votes on the second place game each update but drop a bunch of %. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

check out the night vote of two games fighting for 10%! wooooooooooooooo Seriously this is awesome. >_> I don't see why everybody hates 4-ways. In a head-to-head format there'd be nothing at all interesting about the inevitable SMB3 match. --- Like an imploding star, like a burning car, my style shines so bright! |

Just wait until the final when we get FFVII/two Zelda games/something else, very possibly not FF. Woo 4-way format. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

Tecmo is going to drop to sub 6% by the time we make it to the day
vote, especially since the rest of the world couldn't give two ****s
about American Football. Ouch. --- Donkey Kong Country 2's path to Best Game Ever '09. vs. Super Mario RPG, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2. Ugh, my top 3 games in the same match. |

| Jesus Christ, five updates in a row now Monkey Island exceeds its previous best % on a five-minute update. I think that was the last one, though. |

Hmm, not the best % that time but the largest lead cut yet and doubled Sim City that update. Yeah I was pretty sure Monkey Island had this still when everyone gave up. I mean, the beginning of the poll was Guybrush's worst time even with Altair in the poll. |
| MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 4/12/2009 1:39:12 AM | message detail |
| and according to his trends last contest (which
were also a weekend), he shouldn't be letting up till 8-8:30. I think
he could get a big lead by then. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |
