Tomorrow's poll will be a re-run of the "Got Wii U?" poll, since it will be getting released in Europe tomorrow. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Ownership is now currently at 10.33% at the freeze. In the previous poll, ownership finished at 7.57%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
compared to the wii that's terrible --- ... |
The Wii started out with 23.74% ownership on the launch day and now the Wii U hasn't reached half of that amount after 12 days. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Well,
not anymore. Half of 23.74% is 11.87% and now the Wii U is currently
up to 11.95% ownership right now. That will probably go up later
tonight as Europe and Australia start voting in bigger numbers. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
It actually went down during the night 11.49% atm --- ... |

Boudii posted... It actually went down during the night 11.49% atm Wii U finished with 11.88% ownership in the second "Got Wii U?" poll. That's just 0.01% higher than 11.87% (half of Wii's 23.74% ownership on launch day).

-LusterSoldier- posted... Get ready for some very extreme trends in this poll. And here were the trend charts for that poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdEFCaklnQV90Z3NNeFhmM0NBYk96Umc&gid=1 "Just one, all I know is English" started out the poll with a strong board vote and Power Hour, before collapsing with the night vote and early morning vote. At 1:05 AM, it had 63.05%. After that point, it started going down in percentage with regular consistently. It dropped all the way down to 54.88% at 9:56 AM and later gained a total of 1.13% during the rest of the poll. It took until about 8:00 AM for "Just one, all I know is English" to stop the bleeding and try to start gaining percentage again. Even then, it was struggling to gain percentage and was locked in a battle between going up and going down in percentage. It wasn't until the ASV started that "Just one, all I know is English" was finally able to put together a strong trend of gaining percentage consistently. After Europe started going to sleep around 6:00 PM, that allowed "Just one, all I know is English" to gain percentage much easily over the last 6 hours of the poll. "Just one, all I know is English" had some very strong hours near the very end of the poll. "Two, I'm fully bilingual" had the opposite trends here. It started out with a terrible board vote and Power Hour and had a strong night vote while Europe and Asia were voting. At 4:36 AM, "Two, I'm fully bilingual" managed to win its first update of the poll with an 8 vote cut against "Just one, all I know is English". It also won another update at 4:56 AM (4 vote cut), but those were the only 2 updates it won during this poll. "Two, I'm fully bilingual" continued to remain strong as the poll went into the morning vote and reached its maximum percentage of 31.05% at 9:26 AM. After 9:26 AM, it started to go down in percentage again and would go on to lose 0.80% over the rest of the poll. It was still at 30.83% heading into the ASV and fell all the way down to 30.27% at 8:46 PM, so it lost most of its percentage during the ASV. After 8:46 PM, it only went from 30.27% to 30.25% by the end of the poll and I'd blame that on "Two, I'm fully bilingual" finally stabilizing its percentage. "Just one, but I know enough English to answer this poll", Three, I'm truly trilingual", and "Four or more, I'm a full-blown polyglot" all had identical trends. They all had a terrible board vote and Power Hour and a strong night vote. Their early morning vote was also very good, but they started to collapse with the late morning vote. That collapse with continued with the ASV and SNV as well. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
hm the homepage is messed up for me --- ... |
Same here. The "Top 10 Wanted FAQs" section is blank for me. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I just want a contest... --- "To be forgotten is worse than death"-Freya FFIX Pokemon Black FC: 4126 4312 6384 |
Now this is a poll you should be tracking trends for. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
No, I had no plans to track trends for this poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Well I bet you don't even lift --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Luster doesn't track trends in polls people would actually be interested in. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
pjbasis posted... I bet you don't even lift Correct. Also, I only track trends if I think the poll will have interesting trends. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
No, I rarely do any exercise at all 40.55% 14235 augh --- "I can't do this all on my own... no I know, I'm no Superman." ~*~TEAM RK-VOLTCH'D~*~ |
I voted "Yes, I've actually prepared for a zombie invasion" --- ... |
^ XD at your choice in this poll. I voted for "No, and I'm amazed people could take it seriously" in this poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Me too. I think zombies are creatures of fiction. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
You guys want a contest... Ed Bellis's Unofficial Character Battle as started today http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/64865651 for those who can wait for a regular contest....better this than nothing --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |
I'm
in a mock Character Battle bracket mood now that Ed's contest has
started. Might do one tomorrow if I'm still in the mood for it. Probably
will do a "With Link" and "Without Link" version just for comparison's
sake. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
When did the last contest end? It feels like its been over a year --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
How
many people are there on Board 8? Maybe we can all pitch in to buy
Gamefaqs, which can't be worth much anymore with its declining traffic
volume, and create contests that way. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... When did the last contest end? December 20 of last year. Exactly a year ago we were halfway through R3 of Rivalry Rumble. In hindsight, a good contest idea marred by...a bad contest. --- Currently Playing - Metal Gear Solid 4 (blind), Final Fantasy VII (blind), Civilization IV, Metroid Prime 2 |
It was a bad contest idea, which is why it was a bad contest. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Would've been better if it was just a tag-team contest and the partner must be from the same game. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Probably would have been the same. Characters being tied to the same series makes it a series contest. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I'd
rather have pairings like Zidane/Vivi and the possibility of having
other FF/Zelda/Mario characters besides hero/villain of the game. Also
this being a one time thing would be fine. Of course the bracket itself was poorly done, we were quite wrong in terms of predicted strength on a bunch of pairs, but it didn't matter other than our Oracle predictions. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |

Well
if Google is taking them directly to the text files, they're not seeing
any ads. So that may not be helping the site's profits. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Shouldn't be hard to add ads to the actual walkthroughs. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |

You won't be able to visit this page directly from Google: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/assassins_creed_iii.txt GameFAQs has a system in place to block you from viewing pages like that from links outside of GameFAQs (such as a Google result). However, you can view this link if it shows up in a Google result: http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/621797-assassins-creed-iii/faqs/65195 I looked at the above page and I noticed there are no ads on that entire page. However, there is an invisible image at the bottom of the page with a width and height of 1 pixel. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Was Wind Waker so important as to need it's own poll? I get that it's ZELDA but come now... --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
It seems no one cares about Wind Waker around here. --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |
pjbasis posted... Was Wind Waker so important as to need it's own poll? Today's poll is based on the Japanese release date. Wind Waker was released in the US on 3/24/2003. In less than a week from now, the original Mega Man will have its 25th anniversary on December 17th (going by Japanese release rate). One day later on December 18th, the original Final Fantasy will have its 25th anniversary. Also, I noticed Metal Gear has its 25th anniversary on December 22nd. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Can't wait until we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Halo. --- i am grown up im 34 years old soon to be 35 just becase i have no job or life dosent mean im not grwon up case who needs them anyway i can do what ever i want |
