Vote
totals quickly fell apart in the 5:00-6:00 PM hour. The last update
with over 400 votes was at 5:14 PM. The 5:14 PM update had 402 votes.
But then the 5:54 PM update only got 288 votes, making it the first
update with less than 300 votes since the 8:17 AM update. That confirms it then- a lot of Eastern and Central schools were open today, but pretty much all the schools in the West were closed, meaning the ASV simply terminated at 5-6 PM, much earlier than usual. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

You
don't go from losing 55/45 to gaining that quickly. You've got to go
through hours of false starts and stalling first, as Majora's Mask
learned this morning. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

That confirms it then- a lot of Eastern and Central schools were open today Majora's Mask is still gaining percentage in my state of Pennsylvania, so I assume most schools in my state haven't gotten off yet. So my state is contributing to the normal ASV time period. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

I
don't think the Zelda fanbase will let this one go. FFX has to
eradicate this lead and build a decent one of its own in under three
hours. It does not want to go into the final hour tied with Bigtendo.
That's a really really tough task. It needs to cut ten votes per update
just to be even going into the last hour. It'll probably need to have a
lead by then, too. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Yeah,
you are. 99.9% of the time, rallying something in 4chan causes the
other entry to gain votes. It's just that this time...we shot the moon. In other news, argh, another cut. Keep gaining MM, keep gaining! Don't let FFX take over! --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Chances are what you're thinking of won't work so it'll be more like getting axed without helping MM at all. I don't think anyone would get axed for vote stuffing unless their attempts were actually successful. The last known time that I heard of anyone being axed was for the Samus/Tifa match in 2006. Since then, I've never heard of anyone being axed for vote stuffing in a contest match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

From: Greyfeld | #469 Which is? The dungeoneering is there. The world is even more jampacked with secrets and cool stuff. The tools are more varied than ever. The bosses are straight-up better, not a single one is bad (unlike a couple I could name from OoT). It really IS the superior game. From: Team Rocket Elite | #467 No, not that, if I'm reading you correctly, TRE. Something slightly slower and more manual. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Majora's
lone major weakness is a lack of dungeons. The moon barely counts and
the first is a tutorial, so it has 3 true dungeons. Not enough,
especially given the game needed the expansion pack thingy. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· Sharks have a week dedicated to me. |

MM would be better than OoT if it wasn't for the 3 days thing. Then again that's what makes it unique. Nice to see that FFX will make it the match of the contest, but I still hope MM wins.

Voting with multiple accounts and/or proxies and/or ping attack hasn't worked in over 5 years. The last time that multiple accounts and proxies worked was back in the 2006 Character Battle.

From: UltimaterializerX | #476 I thought Woodfall was pretty good for a first dungeon. It was certain;y more challenging and bigger than the Deku Tree, although Deku Tree needed to be the way it was as an introduction to 3D Zelda. I just really really hated the Great Bay Temple. The music was awful, and bright colored, almost futuristic-looking neon pipes lining this ancient temple... just made no sense. Swimming around in the currents was no fun, either. It gets points for actually having a tough-ish boss fight, but loses them because the fight wasn't at all fun. Water Temple craps all over Great Bay. And on the whole, you're right. There are only four dungeons, and I hate one of them. The other three can't compare to everything offered up in OoT. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: Team Rocket Elite | #467 I can't believe you mods still parrot this stuff out to masses like we are morons or something, There is no one in the world who thinks that Mario 3 vs Zelda 1 was legit, and no amount of "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHEAT NOW" from the mods is going to convince anyone with half a brain otherwise. We know stuffing happens, and it happens because Bacon does not do his damn job. ---- MWC |

Did we ever find the cause for the 11:45 spike in BGE2k9? Wasn't it an odd spike in one particular place? It was an odd spike, but it's unlikely to have been caused by vote stuffing.

I
don't think so. I personally prefer 100 Skulltulas scattered throughout
the world instead of 60 Skulltulas concentrated in two "Skulltula
Houses." That's completely subjective, though, and I can understand if
someone prefers the latter. However, I'm NOT a fan of a pretty big section in MM - everything after Snowhead up until the completion of the Great Bay Temple. - Getting a Gerudo girl pic - Trading it for seahorse - Using said seahorse to find Zora eggs - Returning Zora eggs to lab - Going through the Gerudo Fortress for more Zora eggs - Returning them to lab - Using Zora eggs to learn song - Accessing Zora homeland place - Using song to access dungeon - Dungeon itself I replayed Majora fairly recently when it hit DLC, and man, that entire section was not fun, and it's like 20% of the game. Certainly doesn't crap over anything in OoT. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Majora's
lone major weakness is a lack of dungeons. The moon barely counts and
the first is a tutorial, so it has 3 true dungeons. Not enough,
especially given the game needed the expansion pack thingy. Woodfall is only slightly smaller / less complex than, say, OoT's Forest Temple. It doesn't deserve to be tarred as a tutorial dungeon in the same vein as Dodongo's Cavern, Deku Tree, or Jabu-Jabu's Belly. I count it. And the expansion pack was used for better textures, buildings indoors being rendered in real time, further draw distance, more characters on screen at once, and larger / more complex rooms in dungeons. And 'blazer, you're nuts. Great Bay > Water Temple. --- "Luxe, calme et volupte." - Charles Baudelaire, The Invitation to the Voyage |
KanzarisKelshen | Posted 12/22/2010 5:44:08 PM | message detail |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #492 I can accept this. I'm perfectly willing to admit Great Bay is hit-or-miss, unlike the cool Snowhead, the nice temple that is Woodfall, and the terrific Stone Tower + Ikana Castle. You can't tell me OoT's Water Temple wasn't much worse though. >_> --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

I did a LP of Majora's Mask a few months ago (even though I hated the game, but after the LP I finally reconciliated with him and accepted him as a great game) and I must say, if you have the stone mask you can breeze through that section. Getting into the Forest Dungeon though....UUUUUUGH How I hated all that part... In my personal ranking aLttP>OoT>TP>MM>LA |

From: KanzarisKelshen | #495 Course I can! Water Temple is phenomenal. The atmosphere in that place is just unreal - too beautiful. I'll grant you that equipping/unequipping the Iron Boots is annoying, but it's not a deal breaker. Stone Tower might be the best dungeon in the whole series, but I'd take at least the Water, Spirit, and Forest Temples over anything else in Majora. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
