92.86%. So much for anti-blowoutFAQs.


http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3338
Male's not as dominant this time. Though I think Easter will hurt the female vote, so I wouldn't be surprised if Male beats Female worse than in 2008.

We need to see Link vs Male someday.

Excellent, an age poll and the male/female poll. Next we need a continents poll.

I will track poll updates for the continents poll like I did for the age poll. I want to see some extreme trend changes in a poll like that. I also want to figure what hours are the strongest hours for each continent.

Puny Asian countries holding back Male from winning the entire world with a clean sweep. No characters could pull that off in the last contest.

Influx of casual users is represented in the rise of females, i.e. many of the new female base here are casual gamers, and it's likely most of the casual gang will be too busy hanging out with family to vote at GameFAQs. So I imagine that less of the female base will be voting than the male base, since I imagine a higher proportion of the casual base is female.

Of course, all of this is based on my assumptions, which are usually full of **** anyway.

Females did well in the Power Hour and have apparently dropped off since, considering Female is now down to 7%.

More support for my theory!

I can't wait to see the trends of the continent poll. Europe would never win a single hour over North America. Hell, Europe would never win a single update over North America. I'm basing this off of the trends of last year's soda poll, where soda started out at 49.91% in the board vote and coke started out at 17.56%. Coke could barely manage a couple of cuts on soda during its worst time.

This time, North America is going to start above 80% with the board vote and Europe will probably be around 5%.

Turbine is the creator of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, which seems to be the Banjo-Kazooie to World of Warcraft's Super Mario 64. And that's not the worst place to be.

Though...wait, Relic over Kojima Productions? Blizzard over Nintendo is fine...though Zynga outlasting Nintendo is hilarious.

Also I remember reading the forums at CivFanatics, and some of the guys who voted for Firaxis hadn't even heard for Square Enix. That's lol-worthy for sure.

Bacon is still ignoring my feedback for Dracula. If he says yes, I'll be hosting his rally as I have a huge hard-on for Bela Lugosi-era Dracula.

Also, Bacon has been avoiding the Dracula question for a long time. Every day it maxes at about 60-70 unread (on holidays like today it's double) and then he'll get it down to 20-30. Mine has been in that 20-30 unread for waaaaay too long.

I asked about Dark Link with Dracula. I also included a list that had people like Dark Samus and Megaman.exe. I think my feedback was too big for Bacon to want to read.

I agree. Honestly, we need as many new characters as we can get, and I'm not talking random Tales character of the moment. If it boils down to us sticking in Dark Link, Dark Samus and Megaman.exe, then so be it.

I dunno, people keep talking about alternate versions of characters and Megaman.exe came up. I guess he's got the third most potential of the new "duplicates" that we're trying to get in.

I'm not sure why exe is getting grouped together with Dark Link and Dark Samus here. We don't need to see a third MM clone, especially one that will perform like crap.

I didn't say that. I just said that .Exe is stronger than a tales character, yet tales characters get into the contest. So "being fodder" isn't a good argument to keep him out.

Being fodder is a good argument to keep him out. Saying, "Well, at least he isn't a Tales character" isn't a good argument to include him.
