Personally
I thought Mario Kart was highly rallied last time and Super Metroid
just didn't care. I mean, losing the hour two before by a landslide
then winning the one before by a landslide just doesn't add up. That's
why I never counted Super Metroid out in this one. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Now,
as Harrich said, if people will stop bringing up stuffing accusations
unless there is some semblance of evidence, we might be able to enjoy
our close matches a bit more. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

I don't think anyone (smart) thinks there's stuffing going on here. Rallying for sure, but no stuffing. --- In-de-structable. Nothing's gonna stop me now. http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w333/usagiaruku/1224857053726.jpg |

Yeah,
I tend to like the stats topic less during close matches, because half
of the posts are OMG STUFFING!!, and the other half (at least used to
be) OMG 7 VOTE CUT!! --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Every final hour especially in a close match is decided by who rallies/stuffs more. Denying this is just foolish. We all know you believe this already.

From: red sox 777 | #107 The only reason you deny it is since you're a CT fan and refuse to admit most of Cronos victories are from last hour stuffing. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/34/14a0c4231b6fe6e9657190b033e368594f4a462c.jpg |

I'm
not saying that stuffing doesn't happen. I'm just saying that rallying
is categorically different from stuffing and doesn't deserve to be
maligned. --- Wow, an intelligent criticism of Zeta. Never thought I'd see the day. - AmuroNT1 Congrats to FastFalcon05 for his well-deserved victory. |
red sox 777 | Posted 5/13/2009 8:45:20 PM | message detail |
And Albion, I suggest you take a look at some other poll graphs- there is always
high variance in the last hour and the dead zone simply because the
vote totals are low. Add rallying to that and that's all the
explanation you need to explain what we saw in the updates. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

This
is the last post I'm going to make on this stupid argument: look
earlier in the match, and you'll find a very similar update from
Vincent. I rather doubt there was even any rallying involved in that
update, while everyone can admit that Crono was rallying at the end. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Samus - 26.83% Vincent - 22.76% Crono - 39.57% Pikachu - 10.84% that update enough is to prove stuffing. I agree. Not even Samus or Vincent could pull off a 39% update during that match. I think Samus once got a 37% update, but that was like the best she could do. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

HaRRicH | Posted 5/13/2009 8:51:17 PM | message detail |
Every final hour especially in a close match is decided by who rallies/stuffs more. Denying this is just foolish. It's not about how we are in the final hour as much as how we are ANY TIME it is close. Seriously, when the match has been within 300 votes for hours, who cares about a random spike in ___'s favor at 3:15 PM? This happens almost every time it's close outside of the first two hours, and it's nothing but worthless filler in my favorite topic series. The last hour, sure, you're right to a degree (though don't go overestimating rallying's worth like you already have), but what I mentioned affects all close matches at almost every time they're close and one update favors one option over another. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

that match. I think Samus once got a 37% update, but that was like the
best she could do. Vincent got a 37.90% update in that match. Didn't look at Samus. But I'm not sure why we're having this debate. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

I said that would be my last post on the argument, but I'm sorry, I'll add one more here. See how Samus beat Pikachu 26-10 in that update you posted? Earlier in the final hour, there was an update where Pikachu outright beat Samus. Random variation is that high when the votals are low, unless you're going to accuse Pikachu of stuffing now too. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
