Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1057

Has this poll been stuck at 400 all day or is it just me. Currently at work.

Waluigi brought it down to below 300, but it seems Raiden is holding off any advancements.

Naw, Raiden had a 300 lead at one point.

I think you guys are giving 4chan way too much credit.


With the votals we have, rallying like that is going to have an actual effect this time. At the very least it'll muck up the final percentages.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I'll submit the missing updates to creativename so they can be filled in.

Raiden is terribly weak.

Also why did Failallen decide not to include non exclusive VG characters? after almost 2 years with no contest you'd think he would have figured out why the contests were becoming stale. And the new layout is crap. This guy is clueless.

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not seeing any stats to see how many brackets correctly picked matches. Did SBAllen include it this year?

Edit: Also, I see SBAllen is listing tied users on the leaderboard alphabetically instead of by order of submission. Makes me a little less regretful of those changes I made a week or two ago though "S" isn't exactly high up on the alphabet (yes, I'm vain enough that I want to see my username on the leaderboard; best I ever got was 23rd during the 2005 villains contest).

Maybe Alan would be doing a little better if he just had a flashlight rather than a gun as well. As is he looks extra-generic, especially with Waluigi there.

Why would it matter so much
The only thing that might be interesting is Batman vs Link or something
(or Goku,but I don't know if he will be popular here)

Really the best option is to get in a very generic badass from a game that takes itself seriously and leaves very little joke vote potential.

But that ain't easy to find given how the board like to make running jokes out of nearly everything.

As long as votals are this low and longtime "voting smarks" (I have no idea what else to call us) make up such a large percentage of the vote, Tanner's performance will never be replicated in a CB unless we have something asinine like 8-way polls. I know that personally, if we were to get the ol' boy in a future contest, it would be very difficult for me NOT to vote for him. lulz

Yup, if Links' performance is of any indication there are significant joke and anti votes going on. If Tanner somehow comes back next year 10 years later he's so getting joke-voted so hard the X-Stats would practically have to get thrown out.

just looked up the AA steps, and like half of them are "beg the lord for your forgiveness" and "praise jebus"

I'm not an alcoholic but I was thinking of using the steps as a guideline to get my s*** together now that I'm graduating soon

but I'm not cool with "giving total control to god" or w/e. how the hell do people put up with this crap? I see why they're alcoholics now
