Whew, thanks dude. Sorry for not doing mammerjammer's predictions separately yesterday too - I was feeling really lazy. Sorry to make extra work for you. >_>
Ugh, that one is a big pain in the ass to fix...
Today I was having dinner with my family for my birthday and it looks like I stuck myself with an attrocious prediction before I left... 15% for Lucas, sigh.

Oh wow, I thought I'd done well in that Mewtwo match, but no idea I'd done THAT well! And creative had a solid day as well- that's more like it! We'll be right back in the title hunt in no time.

Ugh, your team just gained a lot of ground on my team. And today isn't looking good either, although I have a slightly better prediction than my partner.

Match # 24 Results
Mewtwo 41.83%
Pac-Man 25.09%
Ness 18.31%
Travis Touchdown 14.77%
Wakka wakka wakka! The ever unpredictable Pac-Man took a lot of people by surprise today and cruised to a second place finish. Meanwhile Ness stunk up the joint (if only I'd factored that into my Lucas prediction!) and Travis performed better than many expected.
Consensus:
Mewtwo - 35.80%
Ness - 26.92%
Pac-Man - 24.89%
Travis Touchdown - 12.26%
Best Five Picks:
1) MoogleKupo141 - Mewtwo 42.00% - Ness 21.00% - Pac-Man 23.00% - Travis 14.00% (+48.57)
2) andylt - Mewtwo 39.00% - Ness 21.00% - Pac-Man 24.00% - Travis 16.00% (+48.04)
3) Lady Ashe - Mewtwo 40.00% - Ness 23.00% - Pac-Man 23.00% - Travis 14.00% (+47.65)
4) SFF_potential - Mewtwo 42.81% - Ness 22.21% - Pac-Man 23.57% - Travis 11.41% (+47.56)
5) Vlado - Mewtwo 37.10% - Ness 23.38% - Pac-Man 25.16% - Travis 14.36% (+47.43)
MoogleKupo easily took the top spot in this low-scoring top 5, beating second place andy by more than half a point, and third place Lady Ashe by almost one full point. This was the second top 5 of the contest for all three of those folks. SFF_potential was fourth and Vlado was fifth today.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k8&type=match&match=24
Current Leaderboard:
1) creativename - 1131.37
2) PeaceOut64 - 1131.32
3) Camden - 1130.44
4) kawaiifan - 1129.81
5) Xuxon - 1129.17
No change in the top 5 today. You have to go all the way down to 7th place to find a change in the standings, where some remarkably sexy fellow climbed seven spots in one day, which happened to be his birthday. =P
Full Standings:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k8&type=total&match=24
Top Team Scores:
1) Carvey Elite imho - 93.38 (Team Rocket Elite: +46.65 / Xcarvengerx: +46.73)
2) Épuration - 93.31 (MoogleKupo141: +48.57 / tazzyboyishere: +0.00)
3) Predestined Divination - 93.24 (creativename: +45.90 / Ngamer64: +47.34)
4) We Used To Be Good? - 92.48 (Kaxon: +46.70 / King Morgoth: +45.78)
5) Palace of Wisdom - 92.20 (Master Moltar: +46.05 / DSRage: +46.15)
Two days after TRE had a solo first place, his team Carvey Elite imho lands in first as well. Team Épuration (MoogleKupo and tazzyboy) land in second, their third top 5 of the contest. Team Predestined Divination takes third, once again followed by rival team We Used To Be Good?. Team Palace of Wisdom (Moltar and DSR) is fifth.

4) Team Kirby (kawaiifan / Luster Soldier) - 2254.04
5) Team Predestined Divination (creativename / Ngamer64) - 2253.43

Ugh, your team just gained a lot of ground on my team. And today isn't looking good either, although I have a slightly better prediction than my partner.
That's what you get for talking about a 3 point lead - down to less than a point in a single match. Mwahahahaha!! XD Course things could turn just as easily, and I have no idea what effect today will have.
Xuxon
bleh, if kirby goes and gets a good day vote, which he probably will, then the fact that i predicted big boss higher than most won't matter at all. one of the things i dislike about the scoring system for 4-ways.
Wait - I just looked at your pred:
Big Boss - 40.79%
Jinjo - 11.41%
Kirby - 35.24%
Lucas - 12.56%
Dude, that pred kicks ass! That's gotta be a top 10 prediction I would guess.
Kaxon
Thanks creative!
Thank you for all your hard Oracle work :) Love the Oracle.

Not if Kirby shoots up to like 38 with the day vote, which I'm half expecting now. 37 at least, anyway. Then I'm basically tied with everyone who didn't hugely overestimate Kirby, predicted Jinjo >= his final percent, and had Jinjo+Lucas about equal to mine (24).

Sadly, I'm probably going to be dropping 7 spots or more today... I don't know what I was thinking with Lucas at 15%! His game never came out in the US!

Really doubt you'll drop very much actually. Your Lucas pred is probably not that much above most people's actually. I had Lucas at 12.5% myself, and I know mine was lower than the good majority, and your's is only 2.5 points higher than mine. I doubt you're more than 1-1.5 points above the consensus.
The average prediction for Lucas was probably well over double what he's actually getting. Which has to be some sort of historic thing, come to think of it.

In this topic, predictions don't count so there's no need to take off the percentage signs.
I don't know what I was thinking with Lucas at 15%! His game never came out in the US!
I had lowered my prediction on Lucas, but even 12.30% was still too high.

Rule Change Announcement
Figured I'd put something slightly more noticeable, since it wasn't very obvious in the prediction topic... I got rid of the 5 minute deadline, because it seemed to cause more problems than it avoided. So now you can make your prediction right up until 12:00:00 (Eastern Time). Anything after that won't be accepted under any circumstances, anything before that will count - seems better since we won't treat changes and new predictions differently anymore.

Master Chief is expected to be a beast in the day, which means his percentage will skyrocket. His percentage will probably go up a little during the night and morning.

Jinjo 9.49%
Lucas 5.65%
Wham! That's the sound of all our predictions hitting the wall. Big Boss went in and destroyed everything in its path almost hitting the almighty 50% mark. Kirby underperformed slightly (%-wise at least) while Jinjo and Lucas, well, didn't do much at all. Lol Lucas. Seriously.
Consensus:
Big Boss - 35.18%
Jinjo - 12.40%
Kirby - 38.03%
Lucas - 14.31%
Best Five Picks:
1) Yesmar - Big Boss 41.98% - Jinjo 10.15% - Kirby 40.36% - Lucas 7.51% (+46.95)

5) yoblazer33 - Big Boss 40.00% - Jinjo 12.00% - Kirby 36.00% - Lucas 12.00% (+45.57)
Yesmar takes the top pick yesterday while Lady Ashe gets a second Top 5 in a row in 2nd. transience grabs his first top 5 of the year in 3rd followed closely by Xuxon (with his 5th! TOp 5) in 4th and yoblazer in 5th

Honestly, I've been paying very little attention to my picks for the last two or three days, though even if I was I probably wouldn't have put Kain any higher than 20. When I get in a slump it seems like I need to stumble into a good prediction to get going again. I'll blame this one on Arizona beating Dallas the way they did. It's ruined my entire day.
Hey, I'm still in third even after a chunk of bad predictions. Well, until tomorrow probably. 5th maybe?

Aren't there potential problems with this midnight deadline? I mean, it's not like both servers are in-line with an atomic clock. Also we've seen the odd match start time now and again.
And my prediction for today...
Kain Highwind - 17%
Master Chief - 46.25%
Professor Layton - 8.75%
Raiden - 28%
Is pretty terrible. I shouldn't have lost faith in Kain, oh well. What's Ngamer's pred?

Haha, that made my day :) Big Giants fan, and I've always loved Warner. And hate the Cowboys.
Saw the last half of that game, and was so pissed when the timeout messed up the blocked FG. I've always told people for years that someday a coach was gonna pay for that stupid freezing thing, never thought it would be for a team I was rooting for and a game I was watching though. Thankfully the Cards still one.

From what I've seen (with my experience in the first vote contest), they tend to be synced very closely. I mean, if you have a 5 second window (high estimate) to make a prediction after the start of the match, you're going to have to be very quick and you'd be working off not much information.
A match starting early would be a bigger problem, but I don't think that's happened since 2003... am I forgetting something?

Sub 40 score? I kinda expected a few more of them this contest actually. Thought I'd managed a high 47 from a quick glance at the scores, seeing as I went up two spots, but knew that was unrealistic. Thought it might have been even worse actually.

I can confirm that there hasn't been a early first vote since at least 2005. The new midnight start shouldn't be a problem, I wouldn't think.
creative, I went with
Master Chief - 45.19%
Raiden - 22.80%
Kain Highwind - 18.55%
Professor Layton - 13.46%
On the basis that this pack would give MC a little more trouble than Yuna/Vercetti/Parappa, Raiden would be stronger but still a chump, Kain would be fairly decent, and Layton would stand out enough to look okay.
Looking pretty bad!

i was pretty much positive this match was going to have a big surprise, but i was afraid changing my prediction would have made it even worse. then again, chief doing worse than like, 44% seemed laughable to me, so i don't think there's anything i could have done really; having kain 15 raiden 27 or kain 23 raiden 19 get the same points, so any change there wouldn't have done anything anyway. that last bit right there being true is my main complaint about the system.
