clearly,
me finding a haul of certain pics, 6 bucks on the street for subway,
and me finally getting this: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50798, and
now Thrall getting above 15% let alone 12% makes me a happy camper. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |

to go back above 80% next update, according to Ganon/Vincent and other

Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde. I give my flesh and blood freely to the Warchief. I am the instrument of my Warchief's desire. I am a weapon of my Warchief's command. From this moment until the end of days I live and die FOR THE HORDE! --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good...

Not to worry, Link's %age will skyrocket with the day vote. ...oh wait!! Meh. The only thing this has any relevance for is the Oracle. Whatever %age Link ends up means squadoosh for the rest of the contest. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/15/2010 9:26:24 PM | message detail |
Alright,
what do you guys think the real explanation behind this is? Thrall lost
pretty handily to Vergil in a format that should have helped him, and I
wouldn't take Vergil to do this. I think this is much more likely a
case of voters getting "smart" (I'm using the word in the pro
wrestling, which I'm guessing many of you understand) than it is some
sort of Nintendo de-boost that would affect Link, as Link typically
tears through everything even when other Nintendo stuff looks bad. I'm
wondering if we'll see more anti-voting, joke-voting, and
underdog-voting than in any other 1v1. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Zelda still has the morning vote! And on the weekend, the morning is basically an ASV of its own. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/15/2010 9:26:30 PM | message detail |
I'm
calling it more Thrall being stronger than expected + Warcraft fanbase
being more significant with lower votals. I actually predicted he'd get
around 20% on Link. Of course, if I had actually predicted that aloud,
I'd look smart right now. Oh well. The sucky part is now I won't be able to see what's going on with Alucard/Magus until 8:30PM or so. **** work. --- Not Wylvane |

Only the stats topic could think an 80-20 blowout is bad for the guy with 80%. And fourway results could not be less relevant. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ Every breath leaves me one less to my last. |

I
guess that the links only show up right after you vote. I wish this was
something Bacon could have told us BEFORE THE CONTEST STARTED! Confirmed. The links only show up when you vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

And wasn't Thrall leading Vergil till the day, iirc? Then he lost big due after the day vote? Warcraft is really good at night. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

My
first thought was that the best explanation, among many, was that WoW
had gotten substantially stronger since 2007. Ulti brings up a good
point, however: lol 4-way stats. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

SBAllen > CJayC At least Allen is trying to get this website into the 21st century, even if a lot of his ideas are duds. CJayC pretty much added jack **** the last couple of years of his reign. Only plus CJayC really has is making better brackets for the contests. --- Not Wylvane |

Djungelurban | Posted 1/15/2010 9:39:38 PM | message detail |
I
don't think Thrall's performance is proportional... Either you're a
Warcraft, or you aren't... There's little middle ground there. He's
gonna get atleast a few votes against any one character, but at the
same time I do think he would struggle to win against most
characters... So there's certainly some scewing here. --- Nominate B.B. Hood for CB IX http://miniurl.org/ntI |
