Dumb question: Where are these nomination totals coming from? --- Nominate Lyndis (Fire Emblem) for Character Battle IX |

homsar555 posted... Dumb question: Where are these nomination totals coming from? To see the current nomination total, you need to nominate a character. If you used up all 15 nominations, delete one of your nominations and re-nominate the same character again. Once you nominate a character, you have to view the source code of the nomination page. In my case, I deleted "Yuri Lowell" from my nomination and re-nominated him again. After nominating him again, I viewed the source code of the nomination form and looked for the following thing: <tr ><td><input type="radio" name="del" value="8933">Yuri Lowell</td><td>Tales of Vesperia</td></tr> The value you see in that HTML code is the current nomination total when I re-nominated "Yuri Lowell". --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | Posted: 5/8/2013 6:14:57 PM | #448 I would love to see the goofy seedings a Board 8 (and lurkers)-only nomination period would create. Considering how few Noble Nine noms people give out on B8, we'd probably have Link get an 11 seed. --- I'm not a dog person, but you just can't help but like SuperNiceDog, the Guru Champion. |
I bet the link to the front page won't happen until Friday. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Also, does anyone remember how long nominations usually last? I have honestly forgotten due to length of time without a contest. Gap between nominations opening and closing Villains Contest - 6 days, 21 hours, 39 minutes Character Battle IV - 4 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes Best. Series. Ever. - 31 days, 15 hours, 6 minutes, 4 seconds Character Battle V - 23 days, 1 hour, 17 minutes, 25 seconds Quotes Contest - 27 days, 7 hours, 10 minutes, 29 seconds Character Battle VI - 12 days, 20 hours, 27 minutes, 18 seconds Character Battle VII - 12 days, 1 hour, 51 minutes, 50 seconds Best.

Best. Game. Ever. 2009 - 91 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes, 18 seconds classix --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
-LusterSoldier- posted... We usually get about 1 to 2 weeks for nominations. Since this contest won't start until after E3, we might have a longer nomination period this time around. Whaaaaaa? That's not for over a month! Where did you hear that? Team Rocket Elite posted... Quotes Contest - 27 days, 7 hours, 10 minutes, 29 seconds Hmmm, that seems a little low... --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com For your consideration: Lee Everett - The Walking Dead |
From: Ngamer64 | #458 Hmmm, that seems a little low... That's just when noms ended, not the time from the end of noms until the bracket's unveiling! --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
LeonhartFour posted... From: Ngamer64 | #458Hmmm, that seems a little low... This. It's the part after nominations closed that's taking longer than usual. Almost 6 years and 3 months now. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
When
the Quotes Contest nominations closed Hillary Clinton being the
Democratic Nominee for President was more of a lock than Link winning a
Character Battle! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Ngamer64 posted... Whaaaaaa? That's not for over a month! Where did you hear that? If we had about 2 weeks for the nominations, 4 to 6 days for vote-in polls, and another 2 weeks for the contest entry period, the first match of the contest would start immediately after all of the E3 polls have been completed. I don't think we will end up with that schedule for the next contest, so we'll probably start the first match near the end of June or the early part of July. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Yup
you're right, I wasn't thinking straight. Two more weeks for noms then
a week of Vote Ins then a couple more weeks to pred the bracket would
put us right after E3, there's no problem with that timing. --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com For your consideration: Lee Everett - The Walking Dead |
Mock
Bracket based on the top 64 nomination from the tally topic.
Unsurprisingly the top nominations are filled with characters that have
never been in a contest (47/64), Crono is the only noble nine with
enough nominations yet may lose in the first round due to a joke
opponent and oddly enough Morrigan and Spyro have a rematch from 2002. Division 1 1) Yuri Lowell 16) Guybrush Threepwood 8) ? Block 9) Crono 5) Lugia 12) Dragonborn 4) Groose 13) Lara Croft 3) Seifer Almasy 14) Mr. Game & Watch 6) Repede 11) Lyndis 7) Science the Bear 10) Lucina 2) Hal "Otacon" Emmerich 15) Sazh Katzroy Division 2 1) Yu Narukami 16) Commander Shepard 8) Clementine 9) Dracula 5) Red (Angry Birds) 12) Raiden 4) Squirtle 13) Wolf O'Donnell 3) Chester 14) Zero (Mega Man X) 6) Chrom 11) Proto Man 7) Chie Satonaka 10) EDI 2) CATS 15) Catherine Division 3 1) Barret Wallace 16) Frog 8) Charizard 9) Creeper 5) Phoenix Wright 12) Senator Steven Armstrong 4) Morrigan Aensland 13) Spyro the Dragon 3) Shulk 14) Bowser 6) Rinoa Heartilly 11) Paultena 7) Zero (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors) 10) Kefka 2) Hero (Dragon Quest V) 15) Archer Division 4 1) Epona 16) GlaDOS 8) Francis York Morgan 9) Solaire of Astora 5) Mike Haggar 12) Wheatley 4) Garrus Vakarian 13) Reyn 3) Lee Everett 14) Isaac (The Binding of Isaac) 6) Tifa Lockhart 11) N 7) Bayonetta 10) Lu Bu 2) Elizabeth 15) Aigis --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
No new characters have been added to the nomination database today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
That would seriously be the worst bracket ever. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
From: Ngamer64 | #404 Yup it took 196 to avoid the Vote Ins in 2010, but that was out of 90,000 total nominations. Rivals 2011 managed only a pathetic 15,000 nominations and we're closer to that pace right now- so if you can get anyone to 100ish noms they're probably safe. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks man. --- `•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.• Are you a man, or a slave? |

Is Yuri Lowell the guru pick or is there some other reason people are nominating him so much? --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
Guru pick --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Currently, we have a total of 10275 nominations. No new characters have been added to the suggestion database over the past 24 hours. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Ahahaha, Tales character vs. Guybrush as the very first match. You know Yuri vs. Guybrush is a possible match given Yuri has the guru backing and Guybrush tends to get a half decent seed. Would be hard to predict, 22.56% against Vincent vs. 21.30% against Tifa. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Guess it'd depend on whether it's a day or night match. Isn't Tales pretty good in the day? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Hopefully SB puts noms on the front page and makes an announcement about the contest on the SBAllin' board today --- http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/4343/narm2.gif |
Yuri
would no problem beating Guybrush. Nobody cares about either of them,
but Yuri looks like a girl while Guybrush looks like Guybrush. Easy
enough to guess where votes go from people who don't know them. --- Congrats to 2011 Guru champ SuperNiceDog! |
I
would go with Guybrush, especially if it's a night match. It's been 3
years and I feel Yuri is more likely to be weaker now, though the
picture may be a factor. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |

More details for CB9 will be announced in the upcoming weeks. This one's going to be unlike any other, so stay tuned! This scares me >_< and why not just put a link on the front page already? the more nominations the better --- ... |

8 hour battles to make the contest go even faster so we can have 256 characters. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Hmm
wonder what the twist will be. Also the new layout is disgusting and I
hope there is an option to stay with the current one once that is out of
beta. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
LeonhartFour posted... 8 hour battles to make the contest go even faster so we can have 256 characters. In an 8 hour match I would take Missingno over everything except maybe Link. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Instead
of a conventional contest nominations end and the contest is the list
of the top 64 noms in order. Gauntlet ensues starting from the bottom. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I forgot about this match between Cid and Mega Man http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3750&num=2 Barret should probably be somewhere around his strength. I want to think he's stronger due to him being there from the beginning and being more important for the plot, but who knows? --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
From: xp1337 | #488 Instead of a conventional contest nominations end and the contest is the list of the top 64 noms in order. Gauntlet ensues starting from the bottom. 2010 seedings with this idea has Vincent winning for about a month straight. Hopefully there'd be anti-voting eventually. Or just don't do this idea. --- Congrats to 2011 Guru champ SuperNiceDog! |
Xeybozn posted... From: xp1337 | #488Instead of a conventional contest nominations end and the contest is the list of the top 64 noms in order. Gauntlet ensues starting from the bottom. Pfft, Vincent would totally lose to Tifa. So it'd be about a month and a half of Tifa winning. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Mega Man X was a 13 seed too. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
From: Xeybozn | #491 From: xp1337 | #488Instead of a conventional contest nominations end and the contest is the list of the top 64 noms in order. Gauntlet ensues starting from the bottom. Oh, it's a bad idea, no doubt. What's scary though is I think I find it less horrifying than some other "gimmick" options. Seriously, just give a conventional 1v1. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
-LusterSoldier- posted... homsar555 posted...Dumb question: Where are these nomination totals coming from? Ah. I see. So then as of a few minutes ago (when I made another vote trade), we were at 10659? --- "Everyone has a dick although it may not be physical.

Come on surprise Female Villains Contest. And for Yuri vs. Guybrush, I'd probably choose entirely based on whether it's a night or day match. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
How about putting Link in every match? For the bracket, instead of predicting the winners, you predict Link's percentage. The scary thing is that this would be better than divisions by company, or 8 hours matches with triple the normal amount of fodder. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | #492 Xeybozn posted...From: xp1337 | #488Instead of a conventional contest nominations end and the contest is the list of the top 64 noms in order. Gauntlet ensues starting from the bottom. Top 64 noms would be 8 seeds and higher. Tifa was a 10, and X (and Missingno) needed the vote-ins, so they're out. The best possibility for 64 entrants would be hoping Vincent misses the field, too. (He was just an 8 last time) --- Congrats to 2011 Guru champ SuperNiceDog! |
Gauntlet's not too terrible, Crono would have the chance to make a nice run due to his low nomination count. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
