There's nobody cheating for Mario Kart, and there certainly won't be a
large spike next update. Let's just stop with these nonsense
accusations. --- Larbeight The finest mind of his generation Married to Larbeight |

Super Metroid appeals to the hardcore. Super Mario Kart appeals to the casuals. Sonic 3 appeals to the furries. Gunstar Heroes doesn't appeal to anyone. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Ooooof... an what a match... I never thought SM Kart can stand up to
Super Metroid... My bracket is gonna be ruined if Kart wins today. C'mon ppl Super Metroid is a much much better game than Super Mario Kart... lets go Super Metroid |

From: Larbeight | #309 1. There was little to no stuffing countermeasures back then. 2. For WoW related stuff, rallying is actually as effective if not more due to the amount of people you can advertise it too, not to mention its more effective then the ways you can stuff now adays. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

Bam! Talk about intense. Are we so certain SM > SMK next round though? I mean, SMK is definitely the most unique of LoZ:LttP/SM/SMK, we've seen LoZ:LttP kill SM before, and SMK is now leading SM in a close match. I know SM's got hardcore fans, but those three things combined make it tough to see SM easily avoid last place next round...thank goodness for the Top 100 List having its back though, right? --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I was liking LoZ:LttP > Doom before we found out SMK would be in it
for sure, and I like Doom all the better now. It's going to stand out
big-time and SMK will be LFF'd/SFF'd by SM and LoZ:LttP. Throw in
FPS-games getting more popular in recent years, and...yeah, don't see
how SMK can take second place in R2. If it does, Goldeneye better watch
out for Mario Kart 64. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

Someone needs to drag out that Mario/Crono pic with the 4 guys
screaming at the monitor screen. I've been asking for it for the past
two weeks, and today is a fitting day. And I'm really glad I changed LttP > Sonic 3 to LttP > Doom. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

Well I'm still not convinced Doom wins tomorrow, and that's against
DKC, so you can see my hesitance to call next round in it's favor just
yet. I definitely think Doom will win, but I'm not putting it falling
flat on it's face out of the realm of possibility. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

From: Larbeight | #326 If you can dynamically change your IP, (and do it right) there's no way for a mere PHP script to know you're the same person. If you're part of a University for example, lets say one with access to Network equipment, specifically routers with a large reserve store of addresses. You've got a nice range to work with there, don't want to be detected? Ping your requests through an associate server in another University. When you can make your own mini-network with multiple nodes around the world there's not a lot anyone can do about it. ^_~ IF ONLY YOU COULD PUT YOUR MIND TOWARDS THE BETTERMENT OF HUMAN SOCIETY --- I can feel it coming over me; I feel it all around me. http://www.rosebride.com/lyn/otakon2k6/chronotrigger.jpg |

Alright. These calculations will probably be dumb and useless, but lemme try it anyway. Since 4 EST (as of 6:08 EST): SMK's average votes per update have been 161. Same for Super Metroid. Since then, SMK has had 7 sub-140 updates. SM has had 3. SMK has also had 6 updates above 180 votes. SM has had 5. Generally speaking, however, SMK has much more updates in the 140+ and 170 range. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

Now granted I've never gotten past the first dungeon in lttp, but
that lttp pic looks weird to me and i have no idea what that is at the
top, just looks like a bunch of sprites blended together I made the pic. It's a scene from about the middle of the game with Agahnim and Zelda at the top. He's about to send her to the dark world in that screenshot. |

flat on it's face out of the realm of possibility. Ah, different camps then -- I think Doom would beat DKC without LoZ:LttP. We'll know more by tomorrow, at least. As for LoZ:LttP's pic...it's a cool moment, but it just doesn't look right in the pic. For shame, though it shouldn't hurt it or anything. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |
