Well, unless Bacon springs it on us in the next several minutes, I guess we'll be waiting until tomorrow.

So reading through this topic, I've discovered Ulti once again hijacking it by trying to prove he is more awesome than someone else.

Now I remember why I stopped frequenting this topic.

Today is Thursday, not Friday. So it could be revealed tomorrow.


Also, the next poll that will be coming up soon will be a "What's your favorite day of the week?". This might be fun to watch.

Nah, Monday will beat it. Nobody likes Monday since that means school and work starts again.

Yes, but the fact that he remembers that it was Tuesday implies that he cares about Tuesdays! If it had been Thursday, he wouldn't have remembered!

I bet he didn't remembered the day and said Tuesday because he knows nobody cares about it.

We've got an epic battle for last. I hope Luster tracks this, since this is way more significant than any gaming poll.

Sure, I will track poll updates just to see if there's anything interesting in the trends. Probably not, but I'll just do it anyways.

Friday just collapsed on the next update and it looks like Saturday might have a bad board vote.

Yeah, I figured Friday would have the added advantage of having this poll take place on a Friday. It may be getting closer to Saturday than it normally would because of it.

Oh god, huge spike by Saturday combined with a Friday collapse on the last update leads to Saturday almost getting a 100 vote gain on Friday.

We need that damn bracket.

Luster, if you and me teamed up in a fight, and the opponent had a Mtn Dew, could I count on you to not be distracted by it?

Also, Saturday had a crazy morning vote, which was heavily fueled by Saturday doing well in Europe. Friday and Saturday are the only days with any real trends here.

Sure, you can count on me.

I figure Bacon has been spending this time working on his surprises, whatever they may be. This makes four solid days to work on a bracket (assuming he didn't start before nominations closed). It would have been done by now.

If this contest is using a format that is the same as a previous contest, he should be able to use one of the scripts that was used for any of the past contests. If this contest uses a format that is even slightly different than that of any previous contest, he would have to make some changes to his bracket script.
