Match # 27 Results
Solid Snake 57.88%
Nightmare 22.47%
Vyse 10.51%
Rayman 9.15%

Fodder Failure Factor continues to prove its power! Rayman and Vyse both looked awful today, Rayman falling below 10% and Vyse not doing much better. Solid Snake looked every bit like the guy who beat Sephiroth last year, and Nightmare did respectably. The consensus predictions were Nightmare - 18.43%; Rayman - 11.57%; Solid Snake - 54.78%; Vyse - 15.24%. Today everyone had the obvious pick of Snake winning (never a guarantee with this group of oracles); 89 had Nightmare second, 30 had Vyse, and 3 had Rayman. The average score was 45.74 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) transience - Nightmare 21.56% - Rayman 8.47% - Solid Snake 55.65% - Vyse 14.32% (+48.09)
2) yazzy14 - Nightmare 19.18% - Rayman 10.40% - Solid Snake 57.33% - Vyse 13.09% (+48.08)
3) Who Cares? - Nightmare 19.50% - Rayman 10.50% - Solid Snake 57.00% - Vyse 13.00% (+48.07)
4) KingBartz - Nightmare 19.00% - Rayman 11.00% - Solid Snake 60.00% - Vyse 10.00% (+48.01)
5) Vlado - Nightmare 18.71% - Rayman 9.28% - Solid Snake 57.17% - Vyse 14.84% (+47.76)

The winner in this extremely close top 5 is none other than the man known as tranny! His 48.09 points beat out yazzy's 48.08 and Who Cares?'s 48.07. This is the third top 5 of the contest for transience and the second each for yazzy and Who Cares?. KingBartz gets fourth with another one of his advance picks, and Vlado gets fifth.
