cyko, I had the most top 5's from previous contests, not sure which ofthe two contests most came in though. I only managed 2 this year, butjust missed with two or three others I believe, and two others becauseI changed my tip.

I'll make a come back in summer (if there's a contest). Not hard to do better than this time :)

~ Ringworm ~
Congrats yoblazer for beating me in the guru challenge!

Just a couple of matches killed me (Diablo 3 times <_<, Kuja vs. Hand)

I could have probably placed in the Top 5 if I had trusted the board in Diablo's strength...

I'll do better in the summer if I'm still here.

I've been officially pwned by yoblazer, best Guru of 'em all.

Sorry for the late update, I worked long hours yesterday, was tiredlike hell and my router decided it didn't feel like working properly soI went to sleep. It happens.

I'mtaking 2-3 days off and I'll start working on the wrapping up afterthat. Division & Phase Stats, Bonus Points, Top 5's, Updated UserStandings, all of these should be done next week. If you have anyrequest, feel free to ask, if it's possible I'll try to do it.

Untilthen, congratulations to Dilated Chemist, and thanks to every singleone of you. I may not reply to all comments, but I read them all andthey're all appreciated. You've all made this contest a success, onceagain. Thank you.

*mourns past herding topics*

10th overall? That's not too bad, consider I made some HUGE ****upsearlier on (picked Ridley and Wily to win and made some really stupidchanges). I can leave this contest with some dignity.

W00t! After a terrible start, (I was in the bottom 10 or so in thefirst few days of the contest) I'm very happy to have achieved secondplace. Congratulations to DC and to everyone who played.

Ugh, 12th... I felt Iwas pretty decent this year, was really hoping for a Top Ten finish,but a few silly calls on the match winner really ruined me. Ah well,will still be interested to see how this affects the Overall ranks.

the-elite.net congratulates yoblazer, winner of the Spring '05 Guru Contest!
Contest Archives: http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/

Despite two 1st places, I end up in 31st. Probably because I made some awful choices along the way.

Oh well, I never do well at this.

Has anyone ever thought that the Oracle format would be a great way to add some spice back to the orrigonal contest?

Iwas thinking something like, on every match you pick winner and %. Ifyou get it right and within 5%, you score 5. If you get it right,within 10%, you score 3. If you just get it right, just 1. That wouldbe cool.
Or maybe 2% and 5% should be the limits, depending on how good people are at this.
