Holy ****! That post was even 12 hours and 14 seconds after my previous post.

That means, percent-wise, nothing has really changed the last 12 hours.

CBV: 10/11
Next: Aeris vs. Marle

Aeris is slowly going down but I hope she stays above 69.66% because that will give me 47 points for the match.

What's funny, is that the X-stats were fairly accurate for yet another match!

Maybe, if we assume Marle is slightly weaker than Frog. But again, I had never seen Marle in any contests prior to this one so it was hard to assess her strength.

Crap. Yuna just keeps rising like crazy. Hopefully Roll takes the day vote and lowers Yuna's percentage.

Heh... I really shouldn't have lowered my Oracle pick that much. I change it a bit more than I should based on popular opinion. I screw myself over a lot like that, but I've probably saved myself enough to make up for it. xD;

well, i really thought Rikku was very close to Yuna and Roll would be a small bit stronger than Lenneth. i guess i was wrong on one or both of those. bah!!

Ouch. That one hurt. I dropped from 6th to 14th. And I was so close to breaking the top 5...

For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener

Yuna just dropped over 1% earlier. If something goes wrong and Yuna goes up again, my partner Cokes has the team covered with his 82.54% prediction.

I actually went up 6 ranks from 15th to 9th. I might just make the leaderboard.

SC2K6; 11/12; 11 Points; T-2nd; Next Pick: Yuna

I scribbled out some calculations based on x-stats... comparing Yuna to KOS-MOS and judging Roll and Amy... and I came up with like 81% as a rough estimate. I looked at the topic and thought... damn, that's way too high. But it would have been a lot better than what I actually guessed.

---
CBV: 11/12
Next: Yuna vs. Roll

It's not going to stop. She has averaged about 82% since 5:00AM, so I would assume it will slowly move up to there. In other words... just about where I wanted to predict before I was so easily peer pressured into going low -_-

I too, went low for this match - my previous prediction was 80% >_<.

Wow missing a few days was bad for me, though iI'm still in third.

Figures my Aeris change would prevent me from getting the 49 points I should have gotten. And that my yuna change also loses me points =( I still need to do my male bracket picks too ><

Oracle: 3rd / Runner of Winning Streak

For the second day on a row I'm off on a blowout match, this time undershooting. Difference in this one is that a lot of people went below 72% so my pick isn't bad at all. Could have been better...but never thought that Roll could be Yuri-like fodder.

Sorry about what happened guys, I feel really bad. I just hope that no one hates me now.

ARGH I FORGOT TO CHANGE MY PICK AGAIN ARGH ARGH ARGH

Of course, the Yuna one didn't really matter, but I intended to change my Joanna pick from 54% to 61%... AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH

Me too Para, second day in a row for me. Todays really sucks for me, but yesterdays was dead on.

I need to get a PS3 on release date in order to sell it and make enough profit to be able to afford to have a PS3. ~ jr0102

Point... zero... six.... GAH. So close to being first -_- I only ask for one day there! Though if Joanna drops i should be alright with 60.60

Really wishing I hadnt changed Aeris and Yuna before leaving for the weekend :(

Chun Li leaves me mystified though.

oh, and */forgives pika*

Good change with the flashing arrows.

Only other change I can think of is putting a link to the current team standings below it.

Also the search button doesn't work anymore. This should:

Hrm...I did pretty well yesterday, and will do pretty well, today. I'm pretty happy with my standing so far, as the female portion was merely a warm-up for me, and I have held my own. Come the male bracket, I will destroy all!

I can say pikaness's been banned from Oracle contest was really harsh. It's her first time and she didn't mean to do that. At least give her another chance and she won't do it again for upcoming matches.

Sadly for you guys, for things like that, the Challenge is a dictatorship, not a democracy. She admitted doing it voluntarily so she did mean to do that. Whether or not she was aware of the consequences is another matter, but quite frankly, I don't think it's relevant. This contest has been going on for over 3 years, over 300 people participated and made over 20,000 predictions. And not a single time has someone so blatantly tried to cheat. We've been really lenient with people making honest mistakes in the past, and while this may have been a mistake, I'm convinced it doesn't qualify as honest.

As far as has been decided at this moment, no. But she'd probably be better off contacting me or Kaxon on AIM *cough*

I wasn't there for half the contest in 2k3, but I've heard echoes...
And I'll take you up on that offer to be the pick inspector. If you find anything weird though, AIM or e-mail is the way to go, these topics are too easily flipping upside down...

Does the use of a script for collecting data make cheating a bit easier or harder (both to do and detect)?
