Welcome to the Oracle Challenge, the contest that tests your prediction abilities down to the hundredth of a percent!
The Challenge
For each match in the GameFAQs Summer Contest you need to pick a winner and predict the percentage of the vote they will receive. New participants are still being accepted until at least the end of round 3 (please indicate that you are new and make a minimum of three picks).
Post your predictions in this topic, one prediction per line. Your predictions must start with the name of your winner and end with your predicted percentage. Examples:
Link with 85%
Link 55.13%
Link over CATS with 67.55%
Link - 77.5%
Please use one of these formats, and always remember to include the % sign. Predictions are entered into our database by a script, which may miss your predictions if you use a weird format.
The Scoring
For each match you will earn points based on how close your guess was to the actual outcome. Scoring is cumulative and the winner of the Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most points at the end of the final match. For each match you can earn anywhere from 0 and 50 points. The scoring system works as follows:
Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points.
Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-x points.
(Where x is the difference between your guess and the character's actual percentage.)
Example:
Your guess: Link with 65%
My guess: CATS with 55%
Actual result: Link 60%, CATS 40%
Your score: 50 - (65-60) = 45 points
My score: 45 - (55-40) = 30 points
The Rules
It is necessary to have a few rules to keep the challenge running smoothly. They are:
1) A valid entry consists of a clear pick and prediction (i.e. Link with 85.03%). The prediction must be greater than or equal to 50.00%.
2) Your prediction does not need to be different from everybody else's. However, intentional and continuous prediction mimicry will not be allowed.
3) All predictions must be made five minutes before the usual start time of that match's poll (approx. 11:55pm EST, 10:55am CST, 8:55pm PST). Predictions submitted after this time will not be counted or may be subject to penalty. No predictions will be accepted after a poll has started, regardless of the start time.
4) You may change your prediction for any match at any time, subject to the rules above. Please indicate clearly that this is a change to a previous entry.
5) You may not delete any post in a prediction topic (if you do, please post immediately after to explain the deletion). This is to prevent abuse of the above rule and to reduce confusion.
ANYONE CAUGHT CHEATING (Including but not limited to deleting changes after the start of a match) WILL IMMEDIATELY BE DISQUALIFIED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CONTEST.
6) If you post with an alt, you must clearly state the name of your main account. (Exception: if the alt is listed on your user profile page <http://oraclechallenge.com/profiles.php?type=users>, I already know about it).
7) You may predict matches in advance if you need to. Please tell me beforehand so we can arrange this.
8) I reserve the right to disqualify a pick for any justifiable reason.
Team Challenge
The popular team challenge is returning for a second contest. The rules for the team challenge are simple:
1. Sign up with a partner before the beginning of the first match.
2. Make just one prediction per match - it counts for the Oracle Challenge and the Oracle Team Challenge.
3. Your team score for the day is equal to both team members' scores added together.
4. If one player misses a prediction, the team will get either (partner's score * 2) or (partner's score + average score for the day), whichever is lower. This is to keep teams from being eliminated by one missed prediction, and ONLY applies to the team scores.

Match #27 Results
Kirby 61.70%
The Prince of Persia 38.30%
The Prince of Persia justified his spot as a nomination rally winner by breaking 38% against Kirby, well above expectations. The consensus was Kirby with 66.92% and the average score was 44.43. All 131 predictions were for Kirby.
Best Five Picks:
1) stingers135 - Kirby 61.70% (+50.00)
2) Kaidyn04 - Kirby 61.54% (+49.84)
3) JayLv100 - Kirby 61.51% (+49.81)
4) Lagoona - Kirby 61.50% (+49.80)
5) heroic_slb - Kirby 61.99% (+49.71)
Once again we have a perfect prediction, this time from stingers. He gets the best score of the match by exactly nailing Kirby's percentage. This is his third top 5 and third #1 pick of the contest. Kaidyn04 has the second best pick, followed by JayLv100 and Lagoona, who are all bunched together between 49.84 and 49.80. heroic_slb gets the fifth best pick.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k6&type=match&match=27
Current Leaderboard:
1) DSRage - 1249.54
2) cyko - 1249.52
3) Kaxon - 1243.91
4) Karma Hunter - 1241.16
5) Draco1214 - 1236.13
Cyko pulls to within 0.02 points of DSRage, but doesn't take the lead! Meanwhile, DSRage has now been in first for 11 straight days, which ties him for Rodri, Kaxon, and Morgoth's second longest streak. He's still got a ways to go before he catches up with Bananaquest or creativename, though. Kaxon remains in third (statistically his favorite position, with 32 days spent there lifetime), and Karma Hunter in fourth. Draco returns to the leaderboard today thanks to an excellent prediction - he was last there on day 15.
Full Standings:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k6&type=total&match=27
Top Team Scores:
1) Team Fibonacci - 99.49 (Lagoona: +49.80 / ScorpionX3: +49.69)
2) Team The Returners - 96.51 (cyko: +47.05 / steve illumina: +49.46)
3) Team The Spirit of Truth - 96.36 (Draco1214: +49.70 / Rodri316: +46.66)
4) Team Illusion of Xenosaga - 94.43 (stingers135: +50.00 / X_Dante_X: +44.43)
5) Team th3 Bob - 94.19 (th3l3fty: +44.49 / Big Bob: +49.70)
Team Fibonacci (Lagoona and ScorpionX3) out predicts every other team today by nearly 3 points, with an excellent 99.49 point day. The Returners have the second best score, their AIM strategy session apparently bearing some fruit. Team The Spirit of Truth continues to do very well, scoring third. Team Illusion of Xenosaga takes a break from Xenosaga 3 to score fourth, and Team th3 Bob is fifth.
Complete Team Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k6&type=teammatch&match=27
Team Leaderboard:
1) Team Unfinished FFP (Ed Bellis / Karma Hunter) - 2472.16
2) Team We Used To Be Good? (Kaxon / King Morgoth) - 2469.99
3) Team The Spirit of Truth (Draco1214 / Rodri316) - 2469.68
4) Team Rage of Warcraft (War13104 / DSRage) - 2461.11
5) Team Happy Happyists (Camden / meche313) - 2452.54
Things are boring once again in the team standings, with no movement among the top 7 teams. The most exciting happening of the day is probably Team The Spirit of Truth pulling to within a point of second place, while both they and Team We Used To Be Good? pull within 3 points of the lead. I think we can expect more of a shakeup tomorrow.

Kaidyn04 has the second best pick, followed by JayLv100 and Lagoona, who are all bunched together between 49.84 and 49.80. heroic_slb gets the fifth best pick.

Current Leaderboard:
1) DSRage - 1249.54
2) cyko - 1249.52
3) Kaxon - 1243.91
4) Karma Hunter - 1241.16
5) Draco1214 - 1236.13
Cyko pulls to within 0.02 points of DSRage, but doesn't take the lead! Meanwhile, DSRage has now been in first for 11 straight days, which ties him for Rodri, Kaxon, and Morgoth's second longest streak. He's still got a ways to go before he catches up with Bananaquest or creativename, though. Kaxon remains in third (statistically his favorite position, with 32 days spent there lifetime), and Karma Hunter in fourth. Draco returns to the leaderboard today thanks to an excellent prediction - he was last there on day 15.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team Fibonacci - 99.49 (Lagoona: +49.80 / ScorpionX3: +49.69)
2) Team The Returners - 96.51 (cyko: +47.05 / steve illumina: +49.46)
3) Team The Spirit of Truth - 96.36 (Draco1214: +49.70 / Rodri316: +46.66)
4) Team Illusion of Xenosaga - 94.43 (stingers135: +50.00 / X_Dante_X: +44.43)
5) Team th3 Bob - 94.19 (th3l3fty: +44.49 / Big Bob: +49.70)
Team Fibonacci (Lagoona and ScorpionX3) out predicts every other team today by nearly 3 points, with an excellent 99.49 point day. The Returners have the second best score, their AIM strategy session apparently bearing some fruit. Team The Spirit of Truth continues to do very well, scoring third. Team Illusion of Xenosaga takes a break from Xenosaga 3 to score fourth, and Team th3 Bob is fifth.

Team Leaderboard:
1) Team Unfinished FFP (Ed Bellis / Karma Hunter) - 2472.16
2) Team We Used To Be Good? (Kaxon / King Morgoth) - 2469.99
3) Team The Spirit of Truth (Draco1214 / Rodri316) - 2469.68
4) Team Rage of Warcraft (War13104 / DSRage) - 2461.11
5) Team Happy Happyists (Camden / meche313) - 2452.54
Things are boring once again in the team standings, with no movement among the top 7 teams. The most exciting happening of the day is probably Team The Spirit of Truth pulling to within a point of second place, while both they and Team We Used To Be Good? pull within 3 points of the lead. I think we can expect more of a shakeup tomorrow.

I never would have predicted that Luigi would only end up doing like, 5% worse than Mario last year. Man, down the drain... anyway...

Time to go against the bracket... Zero has too much support for me to go against. But if Luigi wins, I don't know what I'll do...
Actually, I just saw this (lol xstats):
Luigi 48.80%
Zero 51.20%
Luigi can pull it off!
Luigi with 50.3%
Would you change my pick to Luigi? The script caught onto only the Zero part. Sorry.
