Oracle Challenge Discussion Topic
From: King Morgoth | Posted: 9/16/2006 2:53:54 PM | Message Detail
I guess I should post this here: There's something wrong with the score from yesterday in the top 10 (more like top 4 lol mi rite?) in my profile on the oracle challenge site. Don't know if it affects anything else.

That was supposed to be fixed... damn that's not good. It only affects your profile, I'll try to fix that today...

Dammit, don't tell me Tifa's gaining again!

She was going down at such a nice pace to fit perfectly with my prediction, why is she starting to go up now? =(

Wow, Tifa has fallen .26 percentage points in the last 4 hours and she needs to fall .25 in the 4 remaining hours to land on my prediction of 76.04.

Either way, yay for my first good oracle prediction ever! ^_^

I just realized I didnt drop Tifa to what I had intended to according to my oracle file, and the others on the leaderboard save Megatokyo have better guesses than me :( So much for claiming first.

Tomorrow's the day of truth though...

She's not dropping fast enough at them moment for me to get a perfect prediction. Dropped .14 in the last 3 hours, needs to drop .19 in the next 3 hours.

Hope I'll be in the top 5, though.

At least there's a bunch of Celes picks, though I see myself falling off that leaderboard with a 51.15 pick.

Well, this certainly looks like a lot more than the board vote. Sure makes Terra/Kerrigan a hell of a lot more difficult for me to predict.

Damn. At this rate, I may only get about 42 to 43 points with my Boss prediction. There are a ton of Celes picks so that should stop me from going down in rank a lot.

I'll be lucky to get 40 or 41 =S Time to look at the rest of the leader picks, but anyone could come in from being somehing like 40th and nab the top spot.

Okay, The Boss went under 61% so I may not be completely doomed after all. I hope it either stays around there or continues to drop.

only me and pika in the top 5 have a Boss pick. That somewhat helps, but she's in line to get a top 5 prediction with 59.60... top spot should be hers tomorrow.
Rodri should pass me as well (curse my prediction change =P) and likely be second. Vlado should go back up as well...

Anyhow, let's see how this match plays out, I just hope The Boss goes under 60.

Ouch, this hurts. I wanted Celes to win because of fan reasons too.

I think this match may have more lasting effects on the standings than all but a few matches, because of how split it was. Major upsets where a clear majority took one competitor tend to not be that damaging if you get them wrong, but this one looks like it will have a fair effect.

Getting our asses kicked by 15 points ain't going to help... reminds me of a certain Nintendo vs Nintendo match....

Sorry BZer0, sorta let you down yesterday. Should have been much higher in the team stats. We'll get top 5 by the end though, just wait!

Thought Celes would do a lot better today. Not having a good run here.
