FF8 is going to get around 21%, Pokemon and MGS right behind it. FF8 moves on tomorrow. --- Being kind is more important than being right. |

Man you know Leonhart is a diehard FF8 fan if he knows the characters measurements I couldn't tell you every character's height, but I do remember Squall's, for whatever the reason. Cloud's 5'6", too. Shortie. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Last one is my favourite. Rinoa AND Gray Fox - two of the biggest ever snubs from the char. battles - being present is great. |

I
guess I see it now, but it took me a few seconds. And 'bloody Squall'
doesn't exactly help. Definite pic disadvantage for FF8, for what it's
worth. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

The
pic shouldn't make too much difference today. None of the games stand
out at all, except for Pokemon, but it's not gonna be advancin' out of
this pack. --- http://i41.tinypic.com/30djz83.gif |

One
of the reasons why I like multiple pics is that if one has a
disadvantage, it's only seen by like 1/4 of the voters anyway so the
overall affect a picture might have is generally eliminated --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

CT
gets its second ASV cut on Mario 64, this time by 8 votes. By the way,
at the start of the ASV, CT had 34.42% on FFVII. Right now, it
has......34.42% on FFVII. They're having quite the battle for last
place in the ASV today! --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

I'll
probably bracket vote tomorrow out of pure apathy for these games. I
might vote Pokemon though just to see if I can push it on against the
odds. --- xyzzy |

From: LeonhartFour | #115 to me it is. I voted for Earthbound in CTs first round match even though CT is my favorite game.

You
can consider voting for your favorite game "wasted" if you want to, but
this is a popularity contest, not a "vote for the game that needs it
most" contest. I voted for Final Fantasy VII today and have no problem admitting it. It's my favorite game in the poll. Why should I not vote for it? Technically, a vote for CT is "wasted" by your definition because it lost anyway. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

be voting for MGS...again. MGS > LoZ:OoT > RBY (never played FF8,
only played a little Pokemon...mostly Sapphire, I believe). --- BT > Harrich lol me |

I
don't always vote for my favorite character; for example, I voted for
Zack in each of his matches last year despite favoring Link over him.
But either way, you're not going to change the outcome with 1 vote. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

This is the attitude that makes people not want to bother voting in government elections Why is voting for your favourite game the same for people not voting in an election? If anything that attitude makes people vote for the best candidate instead of voting for number 2. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: FFVII > CT Points: 211/304 |

My
voting patterns are kinda weird though. I typically vote for the
game/character I've argued to win even if its not my favorite. Like
tomorrow, my favorite is FF8 but I'm voting for Pokemon just cuz I've
argued for it and want to see it win --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/user/2/2784-66688-Pic1JPG-550x.jpg |

Let's
not start comparing voting in a popularity contest to a governmental

I
consider voting for an obvious favorite a waste, but I'm also a *huge*
proponent of underdog voting. Like, I'll support a game I like over a
game I like more if the first game wasn't supposed to be winning. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |
charmander6000 | Posted 5/28/2009 3:07:46 PM | message detail |
Because quite a few people refuse to go out to voting places since they think their one vote doesn't matter. Yes, but your attitude is basically stragetic voting, if my favourite game makes it through/has no chance I'll vote for the lesser of two evils to prevent the other one from winning. Pretty stupid since you should be voting for the candidate want to win, not what you want the results to be. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: FFVII > CT Points: 211/304 |

dumbest argument ever let's try this -- Zelda 1/Mario 3/Mario World/Mario 1 is on Tuesday, the day of Nintendo's E3 press conference where they're rumoured to announce (gasp) a new Zelda or a new Mario. I want to see if we see a massive voting shift afterwards. --- xyzzy |
