From: Camden | Posted: 9/20/2006 8:18:31 PM | Message Detail
It's too bad there isn't any other Final Fantasy 3 characters in this contest, because I'd really like to reaffirm my hypothesis that it's impossible for any of them to get a good picture some more.

That's a given (unless you're talking about Mog). The Amano art just does not work. Also, very few of the characters are in the FMV sequences so that's another strike against the FF6 characters.

BTW, Zelda is the first character to ever garner 100,000+ votes for herself. Sure Carmen is uber-fodder but it's still quite a feat.

Just like to point out that the Oracle site says my Terra prediction is 67, but I changed it in the other topic.

Hopefully I'll be able to jump up today. It looks fairly close to my prediction of Terra with 55.something. I'm glad now I forgot to lower my pick.

Anyway, today I finally got a good pick. Yay. ^_^

now I forgot to change my pick once the picture came out since I was gone all night at a friends house. (I lowered Terra because Celes bombed, but if I knew that was going to be the picture I would have raised back)

Finally...it looks like a match where I'll finally get 47+ points since Rikku/Lenneth. KOS-MOS has a very strong night vote, and Amy has a very good day vote, the percentage might end up 5 percent or so lower in the end for KOS-MOS.

If KOS-MOS can get down to around 67% with the day vote I guess I'll do alright. Maybe I'll do better with the male bracket.

Go Amy, own that after-school vote and get KOS-MOS down to low 65s... enough so I win the oracle AND spread betting! If it actually happened, I'd have a 5-day average near 49 (which I'm sure isn't a record or anything, but it still feels nice averaging a 10-place gain per day).

So much for the great predictions for Camden and me, we still only got 5th on the match. A guy even went down 7 spots for going +46...everyone did well.

For today's match, I'm not doing good at all. I'm around 5 points below.

If there's one thing I've learned... is that the first hour of voting tells you little more than the 10% range the %'s might fall within. I wouldn't worry about individual changes in % for a while, and on the weekend voting peaks at noon.

This is a graph of votes per hour in the Tifa/Ivy match last week:

Wait until 2 to see which way it's going.

Well, I was right until about 10:30, when Marle started gaining % points back. I'm not sure why she would do better in the day vote, but that's what happened.
