We (the Oracle Challenge) are still getting a 403 when we try to grab the poll results. You said Bacon gave your IP a special exemption, but is oraclechallenge.com running on the same machine you got the exemption for? Would it make sense for us to grab the results from you somehow since you're already fetching them?


I've already sent an email to him several hours ago because his match updater stopped working after 12:40 PM EST. I did not even notice the updater was broken until 4:20 PM and that was when I started running my poll tracking scripts to collect poll updates. I came to the conclusion his site was IP blocked because of the message I got when I tried to manually trigger a poll update.

Woo 1200!

Realtalk though, since I see a lot of dissenting opinions. Straight-up, what is the concensus if SMB3 and SMW go against eachother? I tend to believe the 2004 numbers against Chrono Trigger are most reliable, but there is that 4-way match that World came out on top.

Everything I've seen these days suggests Mario World has a bit of space between it and 3. Feel like most people these days look back more fondly on World.

There's a much bigger disparity between the vote totals of all the matches today compared to previous days. Maybe people are figuring out they don't have to vote in every match now!

It's almost a 3000 vote difference between Pokemon's match and Uncharted 2's match.

With the updater broken, here are the 2:30 PM and 10:00 PM vote total numbers for all 4 matches (Leon will need these for his trend charts):

Time | Mario 3 | AoE II
2:30 PM | 22394 | 4355
10:00 PM | 30736 | 5815

Time | RBY | Tetris
2:30 PM | 18381 | 8731
10:00 PM | 25268 | 11743

Time | Portal 2 | Sonic 2
2:30 PM | 12642 | 13916
10:00 PM | 16995 | 19208

Time | UC2 | Walking Dead
2:30 PM | 16760 | 8273
10:00 PM | 22826 | 11316

The 2:30 PM numbers came from the vote total data that GameFAQs uses to generate their poll graphs. The 10:00 PM numbers come from my own poll tracking, since I didn't start up my poll tracking script until about 4:20 PM.

Can you do a "biggest deficit overcome" or "biggest deficit erased" category?

My bad. Edited post to correct name.
I feel like World would probably win but there's nothing conclusive. I took 3 to win though because it's better and should win.

Bleh. Even four matches a day isn't going to do anything to make this next day exciting. I guess we'll get to see how strong Fallout 3 and Super Mario World are in 2015?

This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away.
Yes the IP has been auto-blocked by the site. I just messaged Allen. I'm sure he isn't coming in until tomorrow.

I'm sure only he can lift the block, but just in case anyone else can, my IP is 67.227.180.57.

If there's any hope for modern games, it's with them. And Dark Souls at a distant third

I posted this near the end of the previous topic, but the updater is dead. I did not notice this until about 4:20 PM EST, nearly 4 hours after the last recorded update. Without any close matches going on today, there are fewer people checking the updater on a regular basis and I'm not surprised someone didn't notice this much earlier.

An attempt to trigger a manual update returned a message which might suggest the site is being IP blocked.

Although we don't have any updates for the past 4 hours, we're not completely alone in getting some messing updates added to the site even though I only recently started up my tracking scripts. GameFAQs has their own vote total data that they use to generate their poll graphs. I can use this data to supplement my tracking scripts.

"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
Is GTA starting to get some respect around here? That could be real dangerous in a certain division later.

In any case, I'll track poll updates for today's matches. As for yesterday's matches, I will work on providing the missing updates that your updater was not able to track.

yeah I hit reload and it somehow cached an earlier poll and was at 68%. weird.

this FF8 result is shocking. like, is FF8 terrible or GTA5 a division 7 threat? it feels like 2004 so much.

This is gonna be an interesting first update. FF8 blew out to a huge early lead, GTA stalled for a bit, the FF8 started pulling away again.
