We'll see how long this lasts, rallies usually don't last more than a couple updates, and 100 or so votes probably isn't going to be enough to hold off another 2 hours.

Hopefully we get a grandstand finish either way.

Not fussed who wins. I've got Tharja but it's 1 point and nobody's going perfect.

Rallies not lasting for more than a few updates? Well, there was a non-contest poll last year that had a huge rally that lasted about 7 1/2 hours. It was related to the controversy surrounding ME3's ending.

Tharja has the more loyal supporters, hard to see her not win right now.

Even if rallies don't last long, they might be able to give Tharja the cushion she needs.

Tiny Tina is still gaining percentage in the US despite this rally. Of course, Tharja is also gaining percentage in the US as well, but at the expense of Juliet.

The key sign of rallying/stuffing will be Julliet's % plummeting as pre-informed votes realise she's out of contention. As usual if there is something going on it'll be to some degree on both sides.

It was nice while it lasted! And at least most of the Expert people will break even and I will still get a point in my bracket. And it gave a good scare to those confident in Tharja winning.

Still, what could've been.

I don't see any suspicious updates for Tina. She hasn't even gotten a single update above 100 votes since the morning vote started, while Tharja has gotten 5 updates in a row with 100 votes or more.

You'd have to call it for Tharja now I'd think.

Even if Tina could get it back on level ground then you would think they would just rally Tharja back into the lead or rally again before Tina could bring it back level.

And there's the first cut since the rally started. With only a 131 vote lead, I still don't feel safe about Tharja just yet.

I want Tina to win but I can't see it purely because of how easily/quickly that lead was built up.

#343 | GloriousSweater | Posted 7/11/2013 7:33:01 AM | message detail
I think this might actually hint at Tharja and Juliet being even weaker than we initially speculated. Tiny Tina is DLC-exclusive, a fact I didn't even realize when predicting my bracket or my Oracle percentage. That's a pretty big damn deal, as DLC adoption is traditionally pretty low (who knows if even half or a third of the Borderlands 2 players have her DLC).

I don't think Borderlands 2 would have a playrate above 40% on this site. And out of those who have played it, I think less than half of them have played the DLC. I thought that would put Tiny Tina at a disadvantage and make it so much harder for her to win.
