Mario looks like he'll probably finish around 75%, not sure if he quite
makes it back to that mark. One thing in SimCity's favor is that it has
a lot of time left, and that it should dominate the second night vote
going by how American-driven and European-driven games have performed
so far this year. If SimCity can get the lead down to 400 by 6 I'll
feel pretty good about it. Votes per update needed: 5.06 --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

After those couple cuts by Sim City, we're right back to where we were
before them. Simcity isn't going to win if it can't gain any ground. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

Mario probably rises above 75% pretty easily. he might get to 76. there's a lot of day vote here. --- xyzzy http://www.mistwalkercorp.com/en/_src/sc569/HNI_0022.jpg |

It took a miracle, and Guybrush got one. He came back from the equivalent of going down 56-44. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

Yeah but doesn't he usually fall off by now? The fact that he's winning a day vote against anything is pretty impressive. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

Eh, Mario only went up about 0.7% with the morning, and I rather doubt he'll get as much with the afternoon. No ASV today. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

The fact that Sim City STILL hasn't started a serious comeback attempt makes me think this match is over. Wtih the low votals both of these games are dealing with, 700 votes is big. Sim city can't just sit around and stall. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3447&type=2&seconds=60&max=0 Yes, Oregon Trail's match was on a weekday, but nonetheless, notice how it rises through the day and goes way up in the last few hours. It even beat its power hour levels over the last 2 hours or so. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Not to mention if last contests trends mean anything, the worst parts of the day Guybrush had were 11AM-1 PM EST, and 7 PM-9 PM If this is supposedly one of Guybrushs worst times during the day and Sim city can't even cut into the lead now... --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

Actually....SimCity has a really bad day vote. It's lost more
percentage (literal percentage, not relative to MI) since the morning
vote started than during that entire augh Europe time. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

| Disappointed with SimCity's day efforts, not that it was going to win anyway - I have a feeling that even if it did get close, Monkey Island would benefit from some Crono/MGS-esque shenanigans. |
