Me last Halloween: http://photos-808.facebook.com/ip003/profile/656/83/n9202808_15143.jpg

I'm going to be off by a ton here. I expected Ada to pull at least 60% but not triple Jade.

Well at least I still have a perfect bracket.

I am not changing this sig until the Devil Rays get into 3rd place in the division with at least 20 games played. (Started 9/16/04)

I envisioned a rocky start, but I really didn't think I'd be this off in just two matches >_>

Z1mZum>Redtooth
Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7

whee 28th place to start. Too bad it goes downhill from here.

What's the concensus?

Yay for changing my pick to actually lose points for the second match in a row! If the percentage drops to around 74% too then I would've had it near spot on...
---
Damn you Z1mZum! Were it not for my owning at the hands of you I would've claimed the guru crown at the 1st attempt!

Actually, judging from most of the other predictions I'm not doing so bad today...

SC2K6: 1/1 Today's pick: Ada Wong

Hmmm if this keeps up I might have a top 5 prediction today, and if Jay is close too keep the lead of the teams.

Wouldve been even higher if I hadn't changed my Samus pick, hoping I don't regret changing Rikku now.

What's the concensus?

Ada with 63.77%. It went up by about a percent once people saw the picture last night, which is kind of interesting.

Round 1: Sonic

Yeah...I've lost 6.77 points so far just by changing from my initial picks. I was pretty much the lone high Ada Wong pick among the early predictions. :p

Must...make up...6.77 points...hm...I have a plan to make it up, but it must be done with great care.

Next: Rikku vs. Lenneth

Must...make up...6.77 points...hm...I have a plan to make it up, but it must be done with great care.

You actually are making up points today, even if it's not as many as you would have had - you're going to score well above average.

Ada with 63.77%. It went up by about a percent once people saw the picture last night, which is kind of interesting.

That low? My friend told me Jade was from Beyond Good and Evil, and that's all I needed to know that Ada was going to double up.

>_<

HOWEVER, upon further review, it appears that i will still jump up by about 80 places or so, so that's not horrible, i suppose......

I'm sucking terribly this contest already. Hopefully I can pick up some steam in upcoming matches, such as when the male characters I recognize are in the battles.

So, if Lenneth is as weak as Vyse was last year, Rikku should get 72.26. If she's as weak as Laharl, Rikku should get 71.21. If she's as strong as Vyse in 2004, Rikku would get 63.82. I believe her game sold quite a bit more than theirs did, but it's still hard to imagine her doing all that well.

Huzzah, discussion!

BTW Kax, can I still hold you to this?

You, sir, are nuts. If Ganon beats Crono, I will track down a copy of Wand of Gameleon and write a FAQ for it. After I finish crying and cursing, which may take a while.

Weeeeeee, I just took a swan dive from 7th to 56th place... O well, I may work my way back up, I'm sure others will have poor predictions as well.
---
%$*&@!!

*shakes head at Ada's late surge*

Ah well, still had 4th best for that match and 4th overall. Dropped off the team leaderboard though 'cause of jay's pick being almost 20 points off :(

Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!!

I knew I was going to do bad this contest....

119th after the first two matches... ouch. I didn't realize Nidoran F actually had potential to not get embarassed, and that Ada Wong had the potential to blowout. And I meant to raise my Rikku prediction to about 74% but forgot. :\

Meh... Hopefully Rikku keeps dropping but leans more toward my prediction than Vlado's. Pikaness and ad00's don't look like their going to end up that good.
---

Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills!

Around 50+ thanks to an average or somewhat meh prediction for Ada. If Rikku can mantain this, today's predicition will be a good one.

Already 8th on the team's standings, and not going below that for a while.

"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Well, bugger it all for a lark, then. I should stop trying to go against the consensus. 80+ guess on Rikku means 90-100 position for me. Sorry, HV, I'm doing an early swan dive again.
