Question for the contest vets: Was the hype of BGE1's instant updating anything like this? Watching the cuts come in fast and furious every minute is way more interesting than I thought it'd be.


Actually, the 5 minute updates were the best. They built anticipation and gave time to discuss things in between updates. The 15 minutes were awful, though. Those just made matches drag oooonnnnnn....

man, I hope Undertale comes up just short just to see what kind of bonkers stats we get. if Undertale just blasts this contest then whatever but if we end up with Animal Crossing over half the games in this bracket? haaaa

Rallies can be fun but if they are overwhelming, not so much. Part of the fun of predicting contests is to have SOME unreliability in the data so there is disagreement, but not throwing it all out of the window because RALLIES. If every poll becomes potentially susceptible to rallies then it feels pointless to even try to predict.


A lot of longtime contest veterans have Undertale winning today.

Yeah, I've been on Tumblr for about two years now.

Pretty safe to say it is exactly the same as every other Internet community.

Fallout has not lost anything.

The only game that might lose is Mass Effect 3.

Lost in the Undertale madness is that AC cut 4 % off Mario.
And that's perhaps even crazier.
You know, when I was first thinking about this I figured SMW would put an end to this because I figured it'd be incredibly difficult to rally against SMW

but lmao animal crossing cut it so who knows

save us zelda

the only possible positive of rallies is zelda becoming the contest's hero again

It's not feminists that are the problem, it's more the radical SJWs that dox people for disagreeing with them and trying to have respectful conversations. And SJWs that pull the utterly f***ing obnoxious "IM 13 YOU'RE HARASSING ME" when they get thoroughly obliterated. I never resorted to that crap when I was 13 and wasting my time in arguments. It's always pissed me off to see others do it.

Undertale is an excellent game and I hope it doesn't get painted as a bad guy because of this or Tumblr. Actually it would be nice if it wins this match then gracefully bows out to Fallout 3.

And lol people thinking tumblr is ONE community.

tumblr is extremely diverse and is made up of thousands of completely separate communities. You'll find the most depraved porn on the internet on tumblr, as well as the SJWs people here seem to associate the website with exclusively.

It must be hard to grasp this for people on Board 8, the most hiveminded forum I know on the entire internet.
Being realistic, Fallout 3 has absolutely zero chance next round, and SMW might have a shot but if it's getting cut by Animal Crossing I don't give it much of a prayer.

The real takeaway from this match is that everyone's Oracle pick is burning right now


Yeah, I had a really good day in Oracle today before that rally started. I was within 3% on SMW, less than 2% off on Mass Effect 3, and less than 1% off on Fallout 3. I was off by like 5% on FFVIII, so the rally has moved FFVIII closer to my prediction.
