And to set the record straight, for Hogger and Cube, I had just as much opposition from people since I had already done in a couple times by that point. Didn't seem to matter especially with how Hogger cut 800 votes in an hour and a half after I got up and started to keep that topic bumped.

Try 800 votes in five hours and Hogger was already making a comeback before you started rallying. If you're going to lie do some research.

I didn't lie, maybe I remembered a bit differently (though it was an hour and a half), but just look at the graph. At that time hogger started to get crazy spikes.

Guess we'll see how Diablo does now that my rallying is stopped for a little while (gonna wait a bit to make a new account so the mod doesn't ban me right away)

Last post of the night.

You said you started at 10:30, Hogger has already cut the lead by almost 100 by then (this is the DSV), in 1.5 hours he breaks even with Laharl, which then he proceeded to stall with Ramza at 100 votes before taking the lead about two hours after he took it over Laharl. ASV goes to Hogger as expected, but Ramza makes a comeback against during the second night vote as expect again. Nothing wrong with the trends.

KOTOR's stalling D2 as well - stir in an eventual dominant lead over Halo and being within arm's reach of D2 for what we will ALL presume is a day vote to be reckoned with and, well, I think we can say it's got 1st all wrapped up here!

Wow, Halo's really dying here. The ASV should be enough to save it, but Halo doesn't have much of a morning vote, so KOTOR essentially has 12 hours of good time to gain here, which is enough to put the result in doubt.

Second biggest, it got a 35% earlier.

But yeah, this is good to see how much my rallying matters. I've always wondered realisticly how much of an impact it made myself, since I can't see direct results.

Just listen to KH here guys. Especially you charmander :) Everyone knows you're right right, and the one nutcase you're arguing with will never get it. You don't need to go back and forth with him.

Funny to see Halo's %age just melting away here. Not surprising though.

I have Diablo going to round 3 and right now I'm thinking that's looking good, although Halo and Wind Waker are still contenders for that; Halo could be hurt by Star Wars more than I'm thinking, and maybe Wind Waker doesn't get whalloped that bad by SSBM.

I can admit that I'm wrong about my rallying if Diablo stays at the same level without it over the next couple updates.

I think SSBM is going to flatten Wind Waker tomorrow, much worse than it would have had they met in 2004. I figure the natural strength gap between them nowadays is probably about the distance between RBY and MM, and SSBM will go well above that with SFF.

That's the other thing - if he were rallying and it really meant something and he really wanted the entrant to win, why would he tell a bunch of users that could have the potential to muck it up? The answer is that it doesn't mean anything outside of Albion trying to garner attention for himself.

Before the contest, I would have told you that the Zelda name is important - extremely so - but that against well-known, well-liked games, you need to have a certain amount of likability and respect to back that up. As far as I'm concerned, Wind Waker has a sufficient amount of neither.

...then FF6/LA happened. So now I'm just perplexed!

I'm increasingly coming to think that the theorized fanbase that will vote for Zelda over anything is really small, or at least is really small now. Zelda 1 and LA have legit strength- Zelda 1 at least I would not hesitate to take to smash Wind Waker.

Whether Hogger was Albion or not is irrelevant. Ramza had NO business being so weak in the first place, plus I doubt Albion was the only one rallying for Hogger. He's a mini fad in the WoW.

Fire Emblem for second place tomorrow, btw. BELIEVE.
