I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest.
Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest!

I'm torn here. On the one hand, Zelda hs been massively overperforming all contest.

On the other, so has Yuna. I'm seriously considering Yuna > Aeris at this point >_>

i was going to lower my pick a point or two before seeing today's match, but i sincerely believe that FFXII fans boosted Tifa and will boost Yuna. i didn't want to go as low as you were at first, so i'm actually a little surprised that you raised your pick at the last minute, Apro.

Finished: Okami | Now playing: FF12 | Waiting for: Castlevania:POR (yay!!)

No need to apologize, Kaxon. You've done a phenominal job running the contest, and a tiny hiccup like this is no big deal. If anything, you should be praised for your outstanding timeliness with results every single night. Some other contests *cough* spread betting *cough* *cough* are often a week or more behind in results.

Match #57 Results
Samus Aran 50.50%
Tifa Lockhart 49.50%

In the biggest surprise of the contest so far, Tifa managed to limit Samus to just 50.5% of the vote. In addition, she held a lead over Samus for two and a half hours during the night, becoming only the second non-noble nine character to hold a sustained lead over a noble niner (and it should be noted that Ryu never would have managed it if his poll had started at 9pm like Tifa's did). The average score was 42.99 and the consensus was Samus with 57.41%. 102 out of 103 predictors overshot Samus's margin of victory. The lone exception was IhatethisCPU, who's been making joke predictions all contest and picked Tifa to win. He tied for 60th place with the 6 people who predicted Samus with 58%: ps2rulezzz, kawaiifan, Kaxon, Black Turtle, yoblazer, and creativename. Pretty illustrious company for a joke prediction to find itself in.

Best Five Picks:
1) Dilated Chemist - Samus Aran 51.00% (+49.50)
2) DragonsFury - Samus Aran 52.11% (+48.39)
3) Alanna82 - Samus Aran 52.24% (+48.26)
4) King_Zog - Samus Aran 53.86% (+46.64)
5) TheKnightOfNee - Samus Aran 53.97% (+46.53)

The best pick of the day belongs to former champion Dilated Chemist! He sent his predictions in by email, and I had to double check to make sure he sent it before the start of the poll, his prediction was so uncanny. (It was legitimate, and King Morgoth received the email as well). This is DC's 30th lifetime top 5, putting him third on the all-time list, one behind Rodri and Ringworm. DragonsFury gets the second best prediction, followed by Alanna, who celebrates her 25th lifetime top 5 today. King_Zog gets his sixth top 5 of the contest and TheKnightOfNee gets his second.

Current Leaderboard:
1) cyko - 2612.50
2) Aprosenf - 2608.27
3) Draco1214 - 2602.89
4) PeaceOut64 - 2600.81
5) Salient - 2599.32

Steady day on the leaderboard today. Somehow cyko and Aprosenf had exactly the same position (Samus with 59.91%), so neither of them gained or lost any ground in their race for the title. We're down to six days left in the Oracle challenge, but days 59 and 60 could have a huge impact on the standings - in fact, days 61, 62, and 63 could as well.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team Awesome - 92.50 (Dilated Chemist: +49.50 / Z1mZum: +43.00)
2) Team Coinflip - 92.40 (red sox 777: +46.50 / Menji76: +45.90)
3) Team Jigglypuff - 90.76 (Alanna82: +48.26 / kawaiifan: +42.50)
4) Team I'll Be Here The Whole Time - 89.53 (TheKnightOfNee: +46.53 / catldr24: +43.00)
5) Team Fluke - 89.34 (phlyerphan1: +46.34 / MoogleKupo141: +43.00)

Dilated Chemist scores a solo team top score today, his awesome pick carrying no-show Z1mZum to first place. Team Coinflip gets the second best score, and Team Jigglypuff gets third, making them the only two-prediction teams in the top 5. TheKnightOfNee gets team fourth place as Team I'll Be Here The Whole Time, despite catldr reneging on his promise to be here the whole time. Team Fluke gets fifth, with phylerphan1 carrying the team and MoogleKupo not showing despite his two recent #1 predictions.

Complete Team Match Ranking:

Team Leaderboard:
1) Team mvp's (ps2rulezzz / basmeyer42) - 5191.29
2) Team Romanian Potato Soup (The n00b Avenger / GrapefruitKing) - 5183.69
3) Team We Used To Be Good? (Kaxon / King Morgoth) - 5178.38
4) Team Predestined Divination (creativename / Ngamer64) - 5176.55
5) Team Accident (MegatokyoEd / Rufus Shinra 18) - 5174.54

The team leaderboard remains completely unchanged today, as all five teams scored between 83 and 86 points. It's looking harder to overtake Team mvp's down the stretch, but with some the unpredictable matches coming up, this race is still wide open.

Doubt this'll make much of a difference, but still (besides, I'm proud of Tifa for finishing within less than 1%).
