GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 922

From: transients | #449 Makes the most sense to me. Fable is a tad stronger, but not strong enough to stem off the TF2 rallying. That rallying may likely save its ass. --- Wylvane PrivateBiscuit1 is a horrible user. |
kinsho3 | Posted 10/21/2010 7:33:52 PM | message detail |
If anything, the rallying is keeping Team Fortress propped up. Otherwise Fable might have had this a little while ago. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great. Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though... |

From: transients | #449 It's not. And for a long while TF2 had a "comfortable" 200 vote lead. Then, literally out of nowhere, Fable starts getting more votes every update? Something is definitely up. --- The Cinema http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l460/cirRca/persona.jpg |

who
the hell votes fable? I mean really, it was the biggest disappointment
of the xbox generation perhaps.. The game will always be overrated
garbage. I'm guessing it's getting votes due to OTHER fable games. It's
like SMB2 beating a good game. --- ---- Sonic_Factor |

Something is definitely up. Whaaa? Fable has won more updates overall today. |
TheOneAboveAll | Posted 10/21/2010 7:35:42 PM | message detail |
No
circa. TF 2 is the more popular game in California. When they had a lot
of votes come in during the ASV TF2 got its lead. Fable is more popular
almost everywhere else and has been the (incredibly slightly) stronger
game for the rest of this match. |

What the peeps above me said excluding the previous poster, Fable's just more popular overall. --- Breeeeee |

Seems
like TF2 has this in the bag. People will rally their asses off come
the last 15 or so minutes of the match to make sure of this. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great. Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though... |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_stuffing So..what are the chances of an admin post after the match? Considering how tight this match has been most of the day, I think it would be prudent for an explanation topic afterward. --- The sauce is weak with this one. But...if he could be churned, he would make a powerful stir-fry. |

From: Justin_Crossing | #461 Yeah you're right. My bad, I misread the stats >_< If TF2 wins it will be impressive. --- The Cinema http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l460/cirRca/sevensamurai.jpg |

I'm feeling pretty confident in TF2, but also think transience is right on about Fable being more popular, but only just. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

I don't remember him posting after that. What did he say? "Due to technical issues, the current battle voting will be extended 30 minutes lol j/k" --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!" "Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me." |

I totally expect a SBAllen post after this match, just to explain that there was no stuffing and the match is legit. --- Wylvane Calvinball is a horrible user. |

TF2 trying to (very slowly) pull away here. Should still be a great final hour. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/21/2010 7:46:53 PM | message detail |
Barring
rallying, Fable would have taken a night match. Once again, this is not
the best start for Valve, and seeing as how Portal and HL2 are facing
junk and easy SFF, it might be a month until we can get another read on
the company. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

stupid fable wth die already, no one likes u! |
transients | Posted 10/21/2010 7:48:19 PM | message detail |
eh, TF2 and HL2/Portal are entirely different beasts. that's like saying Nintendo is screwed if Animal Crossing bombs. --- xyzzy |
TheOneAboveAll | Posted 10/21/2010 7:48:42 PM | message detail |
Just when you think this might be over, Fable charges back. 27 vote cut and down 15 now. |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 10/21/2010 7:49:17 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #477 Agree with this. HL2 is so much more popular than TF2. However, this makes me a bit more worried about Portal. Speaking of which, I should play Portal. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

Rock Band 2 / Deus Ex votals at 22:47 -- 46059 TF2 / Fable's votals at 22:47 -- 57443 Feeling better about this being more Fable being decent than TF2 failing.

TF2
is a big part of Steam and was also briefly given away for pennies late
last year. Its exclusively online, exclusively multiplayer gameplay
obviously limits its strength, but most people were still expecting a
comfortable win here. I'm still waiting for GTA/HL2. I think that one will also be closer than people think, although a steady win for HL2 should take is past GoW imo. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
transients | Posted 10/21/2010 7:52:51 PM | message detail |
haha, leave Bacon alone man. he'll get to us in good time. TF2 is like a MMOFPS, kinda. that's a totally different kind of game to something like Portal. --- xyzzy |

I wouldn't worry much about Valve here. We have no idea how strong Fable is. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

*checks* It's still this close? Screw, this I'm going back to Braid. You guys lied to me, there's way worse stuff than Fickle Companion. --- DFF |

That's 20. Do we know the record for lead changes since the 5-minute (or even 15 I guess) update was put in? |

and another! --- To be...or not to be... what kind of question is that? |

Fable has not held a lead for more than one update since 5:15 Eastern (when they held a lead for exactly 2). And it fails to hold the lead for two updates yet again. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!" "Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me." |

*Shakes head* This crap has been happening all day. Fable chomps away at the lead for several updates, pulls ahead by 10 or so votes, then TF2 magically gets enough votes to get shot 30+ votes into the lead. |
