does anyone have the original picks archived by any chance? I was just wondering if the pick on the site for me today is a mistake or if I was just on drugs lol. Because all of my matches add up exactly to 100 and today it adds up to 135.11% with Midna having a really high %, when I could have sworn I typed out 35 or something close to it. Probably a mistake on my part, but I'm just curious.

We archive every single post since the database was setup and since it's in the database it was rather easy to set up "fake boards" to browse them easily. It was the space before the period that messed up the script. Since it's blatantly obvious you messed up I fixed it but be careful since posting something like 34. 31 could be used to try to cheat so we might not always agree on fixing them.

Would it be possible to make rankings including such penalties just for fun after the contest is over?
Possible? Yes. Likely? No. We'll see how tired I am after two months of these but if you can remember to remind me about it once the contest is over it could be a possibility since we always pull random stats at those times...
