I
was saying more that Medal of Honor will likely not show up, also with
all of those FPS games being more likely (except TimeSplitters 2 and
maybe Resistance) their chances drop even more. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

Despite losing the Squall/Auron-bet to Leonhart, watching him and Luster argue over that match has been great fun. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

Do we have any idea what time nominations will close today? --- Albion Hero |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/20/2010 3:07:52 PM | message detail |
They should close before 8:00 PM today, because his work day is from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day and he's 3 hours behind me. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

This
is assuming they're not pre-programmed to close at a certain time like
he does with upcoming PotD-questions...but that makes sense. Hope we
get a (damn good) bracket soon. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

Melee
and FFX being forever attached at the hip gives me hope. FFVII and
Ocarina released only a year apart, yet it was clear Bacon designed the
whole bracket with them in mind; they would not meet until the finals.
Since FFX and Melee released like 20 minutes apart, the only way to
keep them from meeting too early is to completely do away with any
restrictive chronological divisions. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #458 Yeah, but will he aim for FFX/Melee final or a Melee/Brawl final? --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/20/2010 4:51:30 PM | message detail |
EST. Most people should know what timezone he's in, because the servers are in California and he works from home. Anyways, I am surprised that nominations aren't closed yet. This might end up being the latest time in the day that nominations have closed. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

What we need to see this contest is an upset, with Squall as the victim. >_> Any good candidates? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

MGS3 > KH is an upset? Man, I gotta start studying stats more, I thought that was a sure thing :/ --- The 3DS will be $200 or I'm closing my account - Ngamer64 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 9/20/2010 4:58:46 PM | message detail |
Well, it wouldn't really be considered an upset, per se. MGS3 and KHII did about the same on RE4 in the Games Contest. But that was just the first thing that popped to mind. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Haste_2 | Posted 9/20/2010 5:01:34 PM | message detail |
Good one, Leonhart. >_> I still can't see how MGS3 is equal to Kingdom Hearts. Something was just off in one of those matches. But, I certainly wouldn't count that upset out. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Nominations
just went down between the time of 7:57:37 PM and 7:57:42 PM. I know
this because I was running a download manager, which was repeatedly
downloading the nomination form page until the nominations were closed. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Chances of Vote-Ins? --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |
LeonhartFour | Posted 9/20/2010 5:46:23 PM | message detail |
I'd
say it's about 50/50 right now. Bacon seems to like them, but at the
same time, he may deem them unnecessary for this contest due to its
more limited scope. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Bacon seems to like them, but at the same time, he may deem them unnecessary for this contest due to its more limited scope. I couldn't even imagine how weak some of the games in the Vote-Ins will be. Most of those that do get into the bracket from the Vote-Ins will be doomed to elimination in round 1. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

YoAriel33 | Posted 9/20/2010 5:55:16 PM | message detail |
I
hope Bacon realizes we'll be much easier to please than usual with this
bracket. As long as he gives us 1v1s (I have a feeling he will since we
had a 4way games contest just last year) with no chronological
divisions, we'll be happy. If he does that and keeps FFX/Melee/Brawl
away from each other until the later rounds, we should be thrilled.
There's really no reason for vote-ins or our own bracket input this
time around. The board would much rather prefer a bracket asap, I
think. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

I
am currently doing a check to see if tomorrow's poll will be a re-run
of a post poll or an original poll. If it's an original poll, I will
not be able to figure out what the poll question of the original poll
will be. It will take about 2 1/2 hours to know for sure if there is an
original poll tomorrow or a re-run. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
The n00b Avenger | Posted 9/20/2010 6:00:29 PM | message detail |
Since
we're dealing with a specific limited period of time here instead of
all-time, I would imagine we don't have to worry about small divisions
into time periods. ..Hopefully. I guess you can never be too sure with Bacon. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/20/2010 6:02:57 PM | message detail |
That's
true. If there are 8 divisions, you couldn't really do one division for
each year. Because this contest spans 10 years worth of games. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
