Can GTA still do it? It's only 600 votes... 423 votes exactly. I have no idea how Warcraft suddenly turned it around after losing so many updates in a row. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I win! o_- Anyway, I think GTA could easily overcome that lead, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Warcraft increase even more. Does anyone know exactly when the servers go down? --- "8/10!!! Perfect movie!" - Oreon |

I am curious to see which series the day votes will favor. With the
12am est switch, I don't think there will be any dramatic comebacks at
night. --- bnet ID: KailaYu |

From Draco1214 Posted 7/11/2006 5:46:01 AM I have a feeling we'll be seeing a CjayC topic before the end of this match. Why? He has no way of tracking extra votes if rallying has occured, seeing as how they will all come from different IPs. And what's wrong with rallying anyways?

What the hell is with that jump from Warcraft? Nice jump from 105 to 145 votes. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

It's not rally votes. I have a feeling someone's stuffing. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

In this match so far, I doubt that one 40 vote addition is anything
special. It seems as though both series have been acting odd all night. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Why? He has no way of tracking extra votes if rallying has occured, seeing as how they will all come from different IPs. Just because there may be rallying does not mean there is an absence of cheating. I would not be terribly surprised if CJayC did make a topic at the end of the match. You almost come to expect such things in controversial matches with Blizzard entries. And what's wrong with rallying anyways? I'm not going to start a whole argument, but I find it incredibly stupid. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Quit crying, GTA fanbabies. The superior series is winning cleanly. *watches a kiddie stuffing the ballot box for GTA* I can picture Ceej laughing at you all right now...your brackets broken...your dreams shattered...though you will be over it by about 10 am tomorrow when Sonic is winning comfortably by a 2/3 margin over DMC... --- Steve Illumina: 'Sage of Board 8', Adored by Elites, Hated by Fanbabies, Loved by Girly Gamers! |

Yup. An increase of 50 votes per update, if the last two are any indication. GTA might be through at this point. --- Commit it to memory. |

A blue post is the Gfaqs equivalent of a CJayC post -- at the very
least, even if someone doesn't post in the topic they will certainly
view it. The blue topic relating to the contest on the WoW forums is getting around 100 views per minute, to give you some sense of the scale of what's happening. |

Oh, and my guess is that Blue posts on WoW are like CJayC posts on GameFAQs. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

Tuesday factor combined with the fact that a Blue posted in the
official rally topic. Since the forum servers are down for logins, it
effectively makes it a temporary sticky, and the Blue post marks it for
people to read. --- Jayne [Shadow Syndicate]: Level 60 Troll Mage, Mug'Thol Level 3X Gnome Warrior, Skullcrusher |

It has the saem effect as if CJayC posted a topic on Board 8 saying "If you vote for Warcraft, you'll get a 100 Kama Boost". --- SpC2k6 Oracle Challenge - Today's prediction: Grand Theft Auto with 57.60% GFK: #10 in the Top 50 Contest Entries |

I'm shocked that Ceej allowed this match to occur when he set up the
bracket; there was BOUND to be immense controversy with WoW. Heck,
allowing Warcraft into the bracket seems like an invitation for trouble. --- Just Got Owned By Guru winner Voltch. |

There isn't anything wrong with vote rallying. Why would there be? It's
good for the site, and it's just fans of the series voting for it.
Isn't that the purpose of the contest? --- *is chubtoad* Early to bed, early to rise, gives a man a small ***** size |

It just seems to violate the spirit of it; the idea that these are the
most favored series of GameFAQs as a whole. Now obviously, it's
unpreventable (and shouldn't be preventable either) and obviously
spelled out in the rules. Still, that doesn't stop Ceej and others from
being disapproving of third-parties like PGC and what-have-you. Still, despite PGC's involvement, Mario/Cloud still goes down by many as the best contest match of all time...though that's in big part for other reasons, granted. --- Commit it to memory. |
