Next update MI will likely crack the 500 vote barrier.

I wouldn't call this for a few hours yet. Sim City only needs just over 52% of what's left. That's easily doable if the day vote favours it even a small amount.

Denzokuken | Posted 4/12/2009 5:08:25 AM | message detail
hmm...if Monkey Island's lead goes over 600 I'll give up on SimCity. MI is quite impressive during the night, well, as impressive as it can be with 11% of the vote lol.
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 4/12/2009 5:09:13 AM | message detail
Its not over but I'm feeling right now MI has to be the favorite.

Yeah I'd call MI the favourite but no-one should call this for a long time yet. There's more then enough time for Simcity to win this with a greater lead then MI has now.

Which bothers me.
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 4/12/2009 5:11:45 AM | message detail
Monkey Island is still getting nice gains though. I wonder how high it can get before Simcity starts cutting into it.

The DSV starts in about 40 minutes from now. I'm hoping that Monkey Island slows down by then and allowing SimCity to start making a comeback. SimCity should probably have a good ASV since it was used as an educational tool in some schools.

MI has been averaging 63% of the votes between Sim City and itself in the past 3 hours. That's beastly, it's kind for of hard for SimCity to turn that around from 37% into "just" 52%. Sim City did that well in the Power Hour, but the Power Hour is kind of an exception


http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3247&type=2&seconds=60&max=0

Guybrush is beastly at that time in general.

But if it has that power in the Power Hour, it's still not impossible I suppose

It's also worth noting that if Sim City goes back to as well as it was doing from 1 AM to 3 AM, that wouldn't be enough to win

MI does seem to be falling off a bit now. The last several updates have been 10-14% updates for the most part. Before that, it was getting 15-20% updates, with one of them being an impressive 22.17% update.
