Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 898

People who get modded dozens of times within a month, who get multiple accounts banned for trolling and lolicon aren't allowed to defend themselves or call the moderation system unfair -- especially when they're so addicted to this website they piss and moan on AIM to anyone unfortunate enough to not have a closed buddy list, then claim to take an extended break when in reality they're obsessing over karma and post counts in lieu of posting normally again.

The only unfair thing are such pestilences being allowed to spread their disease over multiple accounts and getting away with it for far longer than they deserve.

If Monkey Island itself was able to get 9k votes against big name franchises like Sonic, Mario and Street Fighter, I don't think 10k is too much to ask for with the lesser names you'd get in a vote in poll.

Do you have any idea how percents work? 10k would defeat almost every single character in the vote-in while 8% wouldn't even get him to qualify.

This isn't about Guybrush this is about stats, if Guybrush had enough fans to get 10% in a 12-way poll you would think he would have some strength, it's not like only 10% of the population has played his game and everyone that has automatically think he's the best thing since slice bread. He may be likable, but he's not that likable.

You're arguing that somehow he should be able to get high percentages just because he thrives in low percentages? How does that make any sense at all? You think just because he can get 10% that means he should be able to beat some high fodder characters or something? Does he mysteriously get alot more voters in 1v1s if he is able to get 10% in a vote in?

charmander6000 | Posted 4/5/2010 11:51:27 AM | message detail
Well the main assumption is that it is unlikely that the only people that have played MI would rank him in the top 10 or some high placing. Like all characters there are people that only slightly care for Guybrush which means in a 1v1 situation Guybrush there is a higher chance that they will vote for him.

The new Twilight movie comes out April 30th I believe, and if they rush out the final one like they did this one (New Moon was in November or something) then the saga will be finished before we even get another character battle

sad I know this, but my girlfriend is dragging me and I had to pencil it in on my movie schedule (yes I have a movie schedule. I love movies).

Also, did anyone else see the trailer for Resident Evil: Afterlife? It has a buncha WESKAAAAAR including a recreation of the scene in RE5 where he throws his sunglasses in slow motion and then beats the crap out of Chris and Sheva... except in the movie he fights twin clones of that Alice girl nobody likes.

Yeah, but seriously, WESKER BOOST anyone?

I really want to see CATS vs Guybrush now. CATS would've won easily long ago, but now that CATS is less relevant and Guybrush is finally getting games again, I'd be tempted to choose Guybrush. I don't know if I'd pick CATS to break 20% on Vincent!

The sad part is that it's completely feasible, too. Guybrush's usual rallying plus Board 8 rallying CATS like hard to get him out of the vote-ins, and we could very well see a potential 8/9 or 7/10 match.

I really want to see the board's reaction if Guybrush really did beat CATS. That alone would be worth it for me. That and, you know, Guybrush actually winning a ****ing match.

The board would definitely enjoy CATS beating Guybrush.

But I personally would enjoy Guybrush beating CATS. After how much hate Guybrush gets here and how people still desperately cling to CATS despite demonizing stronger joke characters like L-Block and WCC, it would be priceless for me if all those people were shut the **** up.

That said, I'd probably still consider CATS the favorite in that match.

CATS isn't as weak as that vote-in implies; he needs a picture to do good. Face CATS is proven to be stronger than Normal CATS, so no doubt a Pictureless CATS is the weakest of them all.

Trying to judge a character's strength from the vote-ins isn't easy and there's no real science about it. He looked bad, really really bad. He's badly outdated and in a few years (probably already) the All Your Base fad will be older than people visiting this website. It's not something a lot of people "get" anymore or have even heard of.

Whoa... Whoa... Whoa... This makes me feel really old, I haven't thought of it this way. Yeah, it was a 2000-2002 fad, right? So in three years kids might come to the site and be younger than CATS. Younger than CATS... Wow. Sorry, just astounded by this.
