Common Stats Topic Lingo Defined*~ SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense. Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated. --- `•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´ I wouldn't put it past myself to do such a thing. |

IMPORTANT POLL UPDATES - THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR POLL ENJOYMENT THIS WEEK -LusterSoldier- posted... -LusterSoldier- posted...Polls for the next several days: We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. --- ya im insane insane in the mimbrain Current LP: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 |
Wow, Bacon actually gave us the poll that was originally scheduled for today, but he changed the wording of the question. I had to vote for "Demographic polls" because those polls are most likely to have extreme trends. You know, stuff like the age poll, continent poll, and other stuff. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=5003 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2857 Almost no difference between those 2 polls as of right now, but I don't know how poll trends will affect the final result here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Why include options like the bottom one when they just serve to dilute and muddle useful information? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
The
"Contest Battles" option is already starting to fall off a cliff here.
Its highest percentage was 9.32% at 12:10 AM and it's already dropped
down to 8.37%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Allen is going to use this to say not enough people care about contests anymore so he can cancel them forever. It's coming, guys. Brace yourselves. Then we can change this topic series to "Luster Useless Poll Trends with Commentary by Luster." You know he's rooting for it. |
PoncedeLeonhart posted... Allen is going to use this to say not enough people care about contests anymore so he can cancel them forever. He's stated before that he would make an announcement if he ever did plan on canceling contests forever. And when that happens, we can discontinue this topic series. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
The first option should leech the contest one somewhat I think. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

Well if you count "mix of the above" and "gaming" as "likes contests" then about 84% of the site likes contests. >.> --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
next week's project has to be the contest. --- ... |
SBAllen posted... Howdy all. We plan to roll out two big updates next week. One of them I've mentioned before and will go into more details below. The other will only be revealed once it goes live, which will hopefully be next week unless something odd happens. I hope it's a contest, because I know he never officially announces contests before they go live. As in the actual nomination form and the contest idea (Character Battle, Games Contest). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
That about covers that. As I mentioned, the other project is one we've been keeping under wraps and don't want to discuss until it launches, which will hopefully be next week. Stay tuned! Hmmmm *crosses fingers* --- This space reserved for the next GameFAQs Contest NO! NO! NO! |
Did
SuperNiceDog ever suggest what he may pick for his Guru-nomination?
And in case it's a Character Battle, who were our latest NRT-winners? I
think it was Squirtle/Blastoise, Barret, Otacon, Morrigan,
and...somebody else. Friendly reminder: don't forget Epona either! --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate SuperNiceDog's Guru-choice, then Epona. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/users/SuperNiceDog/boards SuperNiceDog hasn't logged into his account in nearly a year now. So if there is another contest coming up, he probably won't show up on Board 8 to give us his nomination. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

The
second big update will be integrating GameFAQs into social media sites,
because what GameFAQs users want to do is share their favorite FAQs
with Grandma. --- ya im insane insane in the mimbrain Current LP: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 |

"awesome" --- I'm no longer a Nadal supporter. Andy Murray is my new favorite player/person. -Princess Anri |
Does second place get to make the Guru pick if SuperNiceDog doesn't show up? Or will we just not have one? --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
In a surprise twist, the NRT winner also becomes the Guru winner. |

Clearly, if its a character battle, the previous character battle's guru winner gets to make the pick --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
We could just all nominate CATS. Besides, I think the Guru winner was Lugia. Ew. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |
