XIII_socks posted... I don't think we get a bracket until Allen removes the sticky, at least I think he'll remove the sticky around the same time that he puts up the new topic for the bracket. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

No
bracket has ever been revealed before 3:00 PM EST or EDT. So if we are
getting a bracket today, it will be released sometime within the next 5
hours. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Given the trend recently I'm starting to doubt we get it tonight --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
We'll probably either get the bracket tonight, or he'll post in his weekly blog a specific time frame for getting it. Its also possible he's going to wait until the new version of the site is finalized before doing the bracket. |
the fact that SB hasn't logged in today is somewhat suspicious --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Over
at the private board Hardcore, it was announced by Devin Morgan that
the new version of the site will become finalized on Monday. So we're
not getting the new version of the site today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Interesting... --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
About
an hour after I announced that nominations were locked, the current
nomination total was 26283. Despite the announcements on Board 8 that
nominations have been locked, the current nomination total is now at
26426. I guess those nominations were coming from the more casual users
who didn't know that nominations were locked. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
It
would be cool if SB was working on the bracket and that's why he hasn't
been online but I have a feeling he's not gonna post anything on
Sballin'.. --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
I guess if we'd want any "hope" for vote-ins they would be tonight? --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
"Next week, the bracket for Character Battle 9 will be up, so stay tuned for that. Hope your nominations made it!" (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/11-sballin/66327920) So nothing today, and no vote-ins, I guess. --- -.. --- - ... / .- -. -.. / -.. .- ... .... . ... |

superange128 posted... It's still possible if it has to be pushed to next week I guess? Yes, it's still possible for that to happen. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Polls for the next 3 days: 6/1/2013 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 6/2/2013 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 6/3/2013 - Have you streamed or downloaded any movies to one of your game consoles yet? Based on those polls, it's unlikely that we are getting vote-in polls. If we were going to get vote-in polls, there would have been at least 3 of them for this contest. 2 vote-in polls for this contest is very unlikely to happen, but I would not rule out the possibility of that happening. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

I
really hope that Arrested Development ad isn't on the front page when
the Contest starts. Jeffery Tambor eating an ice cream sandwich while
the home page splits in two is gonna kill votals --- | The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - COMING SOON to a GameFAQs near YOU | YES! YES! YES! |
Although
Devin said that the bracket will be available for the public next week
maybe the fact that SB said "We'll be keeping all the details on the
contest under wraps for now, but you all will be the first to hear about
it." means we may get details sooner? --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Monday is 6/3. 6+3 = 9. |
btw You can get modded for posting a "GIVE US THE DAMN BRACKET" topic I don't get it |
I suppose it's entirely possible we get the bracket, or surprise intended for the bracket a day early. --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
Nanis23 posted... btw Huh, seriously? How's that even logical. |
Weird indeed. |
Iamthekuzalol posted... Nanis23 posted...btw Well since it's an all caps subject I tried to fool it with switching a ! with a i And got modded for "Disruptive Posting" Guess I could post a (caps) or something but..would probably modded for spam |
Nanis23 posted... btw I assume the mods are treating it as a fad if there are tons of those topics on the board. Nanis23 posted... Well since it's an all caps subject I tried to fool it with switching a ! with a i That's probably the reason why it was modded. It looked like an ALL CAPS topic title. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
ffmasterjose posted... I really hope that Arrested Development ad isn't on the front page when the Contest starts. Jeffery Tambor eating an ice cream sandwich while the home page splits in two is gonna kill votals I see no Arrested Development ad. Right now, there's a Star Trek Online ad on the front page and it doesn't look like an ad that would kill the vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Blaaaaarg bacooooon --- ~Zen |
Bacon has never released a bracket on the weekend. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Now
this is a poll that would be expected to have some interesting trends.
The trends here would be determined by the age of each voter, with the
first option performing best with voters under 18 while the middle and
bottom options do best with the older voters. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Odds are the bracket is (almost) done and Allen just wants v13 to be up so the bracket looks nice in v13 --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
This is what the bracket would look like in v13: http://beta.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_mybracket.html --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
well keep in mind it's going to be a "unique" bracket his words so who knows --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/11-sballin/66327920 Devin Morgan posted... It was a shortened week for us at least, but there was still plenty to do at GameFAQs. I noticed Devin edited his post, because he originally said "Character Battle 9" (without the bold text) instead of "Character Battle IX". --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
We can always count on Luster to keep the admins honest! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
New layout in the morning, bracket in the noon, sounds good to me. |
i've had the bracket page on auto-refresh all day and i just got an alert that something on the page changed it probably doesn't mean anything i mean it looks the same but still gives me hope --- ~Zen |
Hope is a dangerous thing. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
The Pacific day has begun. I consider days to truly begin at 9am. The next few hours will determine whether we climax tonight, or NEVER (and by that I mean tomorrow or something) Also, Zen, how can it/you tell that something "changed"? --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
At the very least hopefully v13 is released in the next few hours so that the bracket is too --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
We needed to discuss at least something regularly, I'm losing hype <_< |
That mole on Zen's face? I'll start euw --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
I hope midcarders destroy trash so we overrate them! So fun! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Release the damn bracket now. |
Cloud boost from Cloudy Blue colorscheme. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
it's not a mole, it's a beauty mark --- ~Zen |
XIII_socks posted... The Pacific day has begun. I consider days to truly begin at 9am. I dunno it gives me a popup saying a line of code has changed values or something it did it again about an hour ago it still looks exactly the same though so I dunno if all pages just change code occasionally or something. I'm not luster I don't know how to do this. --- ~Zen |
When
the site layout changed, the poll got a huge boost in vote totals.
Look at the votes per update for the last 6 hours or so: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdG5iUzhrUzJtV01XVmFZUldtZ2ZNOEE Right before the site change at 3:12 PM EST, we were barely getting over 100 votes per update. After the site layout change, we started getting around 200 votes per update. 2 hours into the site layout change and we are still getting above average vote totals for each poll update. I don't think we will continue to see higher vote totals for future polls, but it would be nice if we did have higher vote totals from the site layout change. Back in 2004, the site layout change absolutely crippled the vote totals of the 2004 Games Contest. Looking back at the poll updates for Soul Calibur/Kingdom Hearts (when there was a layout change), I didn't see any increase or decrease in vote totals for the individual poll updates. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Also
coincidentally the time the ASV starts. Clearly must be due to the new
layout, and not the people getting out of school/work for the day. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
