Sp2k9 Oracle Challenge - Round 1 - Divisions 1 & 2
From: KleenexTissue50 | Posted: 3/27/2009 7:30:58 PM | Message Detail
Howdy folks. Another year, another contest, and after 5 years of waiting we've finally got another Best. Game. Ever. upon us. It's another 4-way, but I guess you can't win 'em all. As some of you may or may not be aware, Kaxon and Morgoth have grown old and weary and as of this contest will no longer be running the Oracle, at least in the foreground. A big thanks to those guys for running this all these past years. I know the Oracle was certainly my favorite board-related contest during the character battles, and hopefully I can run this even half as well as those two did. :)

The Challenge

For each match in the GameFAQs Spring Contest you need to predict the percentage of the vote that each game 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 game and end with your predicted percentage. Examples:

Final Fantasy VIII with 85%
SoulCalibur - 7%
StarCraft - 6%
Xenogears 2%

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:
Chrono Trigger - 65%
SimCity - 15%
Fire Emblem - 10%
Contra - 10%

My guess:
Chrono Trigger - 50%
SimCity - 20%
Fire Emblem - 17%
Contra - 13%

Actual result:
Chrono Trigger 60%, SimCity 22%, Contra 11%, Fire Emblem 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.

Team Challenge

The popular team challenge is returning for a fourth 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.

Prizes

Given the difficulty of predicting four different games, I have decided to follow Kaxon and Morgoth's lead and keep the offer on the table for obtaining a perfect score. Anyone who gets a perfect score of 50.00 for a match will get a free game of their choice! (Maximum cost of $60 USD).

ORACLE WEBSITE
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/


In this topic we're taking team signups and accepting predictions. If you want to sign up for a team, please either state who you want to team up with, or say if you want me to assign a random partner.

Additional Notes

While I will try my best to keep things moving smoothly, I can't guarantee that your predictions will be entered into the database immediately, especially if you make last-minute changes. If you don't see your alterations reflected on the Oracle website, don't freak out - they will be updated before the match is over. If there are any other problems, let me know and we'll get things sorted out ASAP.

I'm also going to need someone to post result after each match. It's pretty simple and pretty much anyone can do it, just let me know if you're interested.

Now that all of that stuff is cleared up, let's get predicting!


We are now accepting predictions for round 1 matches in Divisions 1 and 2:

Division 1
Donkey Kong vs Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! vs Space Invaders vs Tetris
Mega Man 2 vs Pac-Man vs Pong vs The Oregon Trail

Kleenex forgot to post the email address that you can send your predictions to. I know there were a few times in the past where some users had to submit their predictions by email instead. Plus, my partner kawaiifan will only send her predictions by email now. She won't even post on this board anymore.



Going to work on my predictions soon.

Oh yeah.

If you can't post predictions here for some reason, you can email them to kleenexoracle@gmail.com and I'll take care of it from there. Only use this as a last resort though, and post predictions in the topic if you can.

Contest starts April 3rd.

You need have your predictions in at least 5 minutes before each match begins.

Actually Kleenex, sometime during the last Oracle, Kaxon/Morgoth removed the "5 minute" rule, which means your prediction simply needs to be posted at or before 12:00:00 AM EST. Or have you decided to bring back the "5 minute" rule again?

Here's an old archived Oracle prediction topic where the 5 minute rule no longer applies anymore:

http://www.oraclechallenge.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=46607602

Take a look at rule 3 in that topic.
