The Challenge
For each match in the GameFAQs Summer Contest you need to predict the percentage of the vote that each contestant will receive. New participants are always accepted - please indicate that you are new and predict at least three matches.
Post your predictions in this topic, one prediction per line. This means you need four predictions and four lines per match. Your predictions must start with the name of the character and end with your predicted percentage. Examples:
Strider Hiryu - 45%
Tina Armstrong - 24%
Bub 27%
Chop Chop Master Onion with 4%
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. Your predictions don't have to add up to 100%, but it is recommended. =)
The Scoring
For each match you will earn points based on how close your guess was to the actual outcome. The winner of the Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most total points at the end of the contest. For each match you can score between 0 and 50 points, depending on how close your guesses were to the actual results. The scoring system works as follows:
You will earn 50-(w+x+y+z)/4 points
(Where w,x,y and z are the differences between your guesses and the characters' actual percentages.)
You can also think of this as 50 - the average difference between your guesses and the actual results.
Example:
Your guess:
Strider Hiryu - 65%
Tina Armstrong - 15%
Bub - 10%
Chop Chop Master Onion - 10%
My guess:
Strider Hiryu - 50%
Tina Armstrong - 20%
Bub - 17%
Chop Chop Master Onion - 13%
Actual result:
Strider Hiryu 60%, Tina Armstrong 22%, Chop Chop Master Onion 11%, Bub 7%
Your points: 50 - [(65-60) + (22-15) + (10-7) + (11-10)]/4 = 46 points
My points: 50 - [(60-50) + (22-20) + (17-7) + (13-11)]/4 = 44 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 four clear predictions per match. The sum of your predictions in a match does not need to be equal to 100.00%.
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.
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 cheating and to reduce confusion.
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.
Prizes
Given the difficulty of predicting four different characters, King Morgoth and I have decided to offer a special prize this contest. Anyone who gets a perfect score of 50.00 for a match will get a free new game of their choice! (Maximum cost of $60 USD). No, we don't expect this to happen... prove us wrong!

Match # 5 Results
Marcus Fenix 36.79%
Kefka 31.99%
Tom Nook 18.69%
Zelos Wilder 12.53%
For the second day in a row we had a surprise winner! Although Marcus wasn't as much of a shock as Scorpion was, Kefka was still favored by more than four times as many Oracle predictors as Fenix to win the match. 39 people didn't have Marcus finishing first or second. The other surprise of the day was how well Tom Nook did and how poorly Zelos did. Apparently Animal Crossing DS has helped Tom Nook gain popularity since 2003. The consensus predictions were: Kefka - 34.86%, Fenix - 27.95%, Tom Nook - 14.72%, Zelos Wilder - 22.24%. The average score was 42.87.
Best Five Picks:
1) daniel2424 - Fenix 40.24% - Kefka 28.24% - Tom Nook 18.24% - Zelos 13.28% (+47.90)
2) jonthomson - Fenix 40.00% - Kefka 29.00% - Tom Nook 17.00% - Zelos 14.00% (+47.66)
3) KingBartz - Fenix 37.00% - Kefka 35.00% - Tom Nook 13.00% - Zelos 15.00% (+47.15)
4) NeoMagic249 - Fenix 30.87% - Kefka 30.18% - Tom Nook 19.28% - Zelos 19.67% (+46.13)
4) supdawg - Fenix 29.26% - Kefka 31.78% - Tom Nook 18.81% - Zelos 20.15% (+46.13)
Thanks to the surprising results, we didn't have any predictions over 48 points today. Those who did do well for the most part foresaw Tom Nook doing well and Zelos bombing. Old timer daniel2424 had the best score with a 47.9, followed by jonthomson with 47.66. KingBartz was third with the only other 47 point score, while NeoMagic249 and supdawg tied for fourth with 46.13.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k7&type=match&match=5
Current Leaderboard:
1) supdawg - 233.79
2) The n00b Avenger - 232.76
3) jonthomson - 232.56
4) Haste2 - 232.37
5) AmazingKirby - 232.26
Today we have two new faces on the leaderboard - supdawg moved up from eigth to take the lead, while jonthomson climbed 36 spots to move into third. The n00b Avenger held steady in second, and Haste2 dropped one spot to fourth. Yesterday's leader AmazingKirby is now in fifth.

For the second day in a row we had a surprise winner! Although Marcus wasn't as much of a shock as Scorpion was, Kefka was still favored by more than four times as many Oracle predictors as Fenix to win the match. 39 people didn't have Marcus finishing first or second. The other surprise of the day was how well Tom Nook did and how poorly Zelos did. Apparently Animal Crossing DS has helped Tom Nook gain popularity since 2003. The consensus predictions were: Kefka - 34.86%, Fenix - 27.95%, Tom Nook - 14.72%, Zelos Wilder - 22.24%. The average score was 42.87.
Best Five Picks:
1) daniel2424 - Fenix 40.24% - Kefka 28.24% - Tom Nook 18.24% - Zelos 13.28% (+47.90)
2) jonthomson - Fenix 40.00% - Kefka 29.00% - Tom Nook 17.00% - Zelos 14.00% (+47.66)
3) KingBartz - Fenix 37.00% - Kefka 35.00% - Tom Nook 13.00% - Zelos 15.00% (+47.15)
4) NeoMagic249 - Fenix 30.87% - Kefka 30.18% - Tom Nook 19.28% - Zelos 19.67% (+46.13)
4) supdawg - Fenix 29.26% - Kefka 31.78% - Tom Nook 18.81% - Zelos 20.15% (+46.13)
Thanks to the surprising results, we didn't have any predictions over 48 points today. Those who did do well for the most part foresaw Tom Nook doing well and Zelos bombing. Old timer daniel2424 had the best score with a 47.9, followed by jonthomson with 47.66. KingBartz was third with the only other 47 point score, while NeoMagic249 and supdawg tied for fourth with 46.13.
