Allen is an Essential Worker and needs to do all he can during these trying times

so if allen's work day starts in 10 hours, you think it's fine if he doesn't say anything about it for that whole duration?

i've worked plenty of jobs in the past and there's been plenty of times i've done work-related s*** in my free time. sometimes there's exceptional situations. and an "uh sorry guys i don't know what the problem is" post literally takes 5 seconds to type.

Has noone even alerted him?

Like seriously noone can message him about this? Even if he can't do anything remotely. He surely has to address it and notify people whats going on

TDV | 81.03% | 18.97% | 5193 | (17:00-24:00)

FFXV averaged above 20% for stretches of the match but it wasn't enough.

Time | Hunter | DQXI | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 40.91% | 59.09% | 528 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 44.77% | 55.23% | 3507 | (0:00-1:00)

TMV | 46.89% | 53.11% | 5991 | (11:00-17:00)
TDV | 45.52% | 54.48% | 5193 | (17:00-24:00)

Monster Hunter put up a good fight early, but DQXI gradually pulled away.


A bit early to be doing trend charts when the 2 matches are still technically accepting votes. The extra votes would barely affect the TDV results (maybe a 0.01% shift at best), but it would affect the number of votes that the TDV ends up receiving.

Nah SB is fine. We're giving him some s*** for this and it's earned in that playful way but I'm not stressed here.

If this was mid-match though and had an apparent impact on a close match though, that'd be different. As is, he can start it back up today or tomorrow, whichever's fine.

It would be the most sensible thing to do, since RE2 vs. Bloodborne is debatable enough you don't want to marred with Mario vs. Crono shenanigans.

You're assuming SBAllen even knows about the problem already. If he doesn't, he can't respond about it.

Allen actually knew this was going to happen and let it. He's currently sitting in a black leather chair, laughing to himself as he pets his cat and plays the Stats Topic Drinking Game. Every time someone complains, he takes another sip of Chardonnay.

The poll is up guys! Except Bloodborne was replaced by Chrono Trigger and RE2 was replaced by Smash Bros Melee. Currently Melee is doubling Chrono Trigger.

With 188 durability, BotW could skewer the entire bracket, including itself, and skewer more games from other contests before finally having to switch weapons
In reality it would take 2 swings and the weapon would break, requiring you to farm trash mobs for 20 minutes to max out your limited inventory in order to get through the next s***ty "mini" dungeon

Speaking of that CT/Melee Match. Just looking at the Poll UPdates, i mean i was here when it happened but god damn that must have been on CRUEL match for CHrono Trigger Fans. IT was an easy 60-40 on Melee but Melee rallied and won...but CT cut and put up a real good fight. That must have been painful for CT fans. More so than FFX/MM

There are a lot of dead boards on this site where purging takes forever. It also probably helps that private boards can basically be made by anybody now.

Mostly from doing things like board hunting (searching through non-topicality game boards for interesting topics and posting in all of them). Of course, I also have some dead game boards that I occasionally bump, though far less frequently due to last year's update to the purge rate schedule.

27906 and 27905 right now. They're continuing to accept votes after the matches should have ended because the matches never actually closed. Without being on the homepage, it requires some HTML trickery to modify the source code of the PotD voting form to submit a vote in the matches.

That is also quite possible. If they viewed the homepage before the matches ended and didn't refresh it since then, they could still vote in the matches that way.

I'm pretty sure that happens for every match. People try and vote at the last few seconds but in those cases the polls have closed and votes haven't counted. Only this time they have.

Or one of these games stomping thanks to a rally
