If
the contest actually started with the brackets still open, it wouldn't
surprise me in the slightest if they were still open during
Alucard/Magus. --- ------ --------- |

Actually
given Bacons track record, it wouldn't surprise me if he set the
bracket to close at 7 PM PST on the 15th while forgetting the contest
actually started that day. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

TEST
OF INTEGRITY: If the brackets were open during Magus/Alucard and the
guy you picked to win was losing with no hope of coming back, would you
switch? --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

Man,
I was all set up to try and steal the first vote in today's poll just
incase the contest started today. And I ended up getting the 5th vote.
I also saw the poll results at 6 votes and the top option was still at
100%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

Do you think GameFAQs is getting tired of the contests? Considering the bracket, I don't think this one will get the casuals back into the contest spirit! --- Not Wylvane |

People
might not be interested in entering a bracket, but drawing over 100k
votes every day is no joke. The contests attract more people to the
site, and they're fun. Board 8 is one of the most popular boards on
gamefaqs. --- Signature |
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 1/14/2010 11:29:17 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
just because they aren't entering a bracket doesn't mean that hate
contests or anything. I have plenty of friends back home that don't
bother with bracket making but still enjoy voting and following the
things. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

These polls always have 2/3rd of the people not caring. its nothing different. It's been like this ever since the earliest known character contests, where you would expect more of the casuals to be interested in them than right now. Even for the 2002 contest, it was 68.52% here for the first 2 options combined: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=930 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |
