24 vote cut. 65 votes with 5 (though yesterday didn't have the final update) updates to go. Not at all unfeasible. Awesome match.

wtf....24 vote cut!!!!!!

at that rate....3 updates will give Fable the lead!!!


That's too quick!

Fable needs to win in exactly 4 updates or else it will lose.

Stall. Fable needs this to be within 40 for even a chance to win on the final update. 4 to go.

TF2 with the stall.

I love battles like this!

But still, this may be the best match the contest sees. It's one of the most entertaining matches I've seen in my 4 years of contests.

if the poll ends at exactly 9 pm pacific, does the last update just get cut short?

I'm not banking, because I think the potential for the streak is that much more important. Don't feel the points are valuable enough yet.

MMXcalibur | Posted 10/21/2010 8:46:25 PM | message detail
Something just seems "off"...I don't know, but I'm anticipating something happening in Fable's favor at the end here. It's been back and forth all day and it would almost seem unlike this match for nothing to happen in the stretch run.

The last update is usually much smaller. But in the first day vote of this tournament so far I noticed that it didn't exist at all.

Same here

It's literally been a constant battle for 12 hours, never ending, always interesting with unexpected twists and turns

It's like the last hour of Inception, except 12 times longer
