Mandatory Contest-Is-Coming-To-An-End Post(s)!

Lots of things to comment on:
I just realized I scored 49+ points 6 times in a 10 match span. Thats insane.
Try 7 in 8 days ;) *cough*
You do have, for the moment, the 3rd best 10-match run this season. That's huge.

I assume you guys are going to come up with random leaderboards afterwards, right? Such as most top 5s, best from round 2 on, and if we kept 45-2x
We'll look at what we can do, I'm kinda busy these days but Kaxon and I will find a way to pull out more stats than anyone wants to hear ;)

Excellent job as always! You guys put a lot of effort into this, and it really shows.
*bows down*
(Congrats though, and thanks to Kaxon and KM, and bring back the "45-2x penalty, I miss the harshness of it!)
*bows down*
And it pains me to say this, but I'm getting used to 50-x >_>
And great job with the Oracle again this season!
*bows down*
And to Kaxon and King Morgoth, thanks again for running this contest. It's so fun, and I love all the stats on the site.
*bows down* And yay for the website! >_>
Another contest in the books. Kaxon and KM, a wonderful job, as always.
*bows down*
Now my back hurts though...


One suggestion: I'm not sure how much call there would be for it, but have you considered making a separate Oracle Challenge discussion/social topic during the contest? There are often little conversations going on in these topics, but they tend to get swamped in the reams of predictions and the more players we get the more that will happen.

Also, I'll second the idea of having a social topic for the oracle contest.
The idea had been floating around a bit (Ngamer was the first to come up with it I think), I actually intend to look into it more seriously this time around (and discuss it throughly with Kaxon). We didn't think it was necessary before, but with the insane participation this year and how CS&D are usually talking more about next week than today, it might be time for something new!

The idea of a separate Oracle discussion topic is a good one for us to look into this Summer. As you've seen, I like to include my rational with my picks each night, and would certainly love to discuss them in further detail in a topic, if someone cared to hear them. Or hear more about my crazy thoughts on Ganon and Crono (*winks at Kaxon*).

The Stats topic moves too fast and is filled with too much junk these days; Oracle discussion would be a fun alternative.
See, N agrees!

A social topic would be fun. I can picture it being like the Stats topic, but without the egos.
Is it bad that I laughed my ass off? =P

Unfortunately, it looks like the next contest will be going entirely through the school year for me. I'll almost certainly still play the oracle challenge, but I'm wary of letting the contest suck me in like it always has. I really wish CJayC had started everything a couple months earlier.
A full summer semester is pretty evil so I understand what you mean ;)

And I still need another post? daaaaaaaamn
