iGenesis 12/15/11 1:57:00 AM #14	From: -Tofa7- \| #010 If you have a bad tiebreaker, take a gamble on Trainers > Mario or Cloud > Link. There may only be a 10% chance of either happening, but at least you took a shot. And if it does end up happening, you'll be golden since majority of the leaderboard would have **ed up. In that case you'd just bank. Assuming that the B8 hivemind really is in full force (the number of perfects has been stuck at 61 for a while now), everyone will screw up together and you'll end up winning without having to gamble on whether it'll be a Pokemon upset or a Cloud upset. I really think the odds of either upset are incredibly slim, though; it'd require a big rally from external forces, yet public levels of enthusiasm for these contests have dropped dramatically from previous years. From: PartOfYourWorld \| #012 All the prizes after third place are no big deal anyway. Indeed, the prizes do stink. Heck, if you live in California, most notaries charge the maximum legal limit of $10, so if you end up in #11-20th place you might as well not bother claiming the prize at all. -- GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.** http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif

iGenesis 12/13/11 11:48:00 PM #18	From: MarvelousGerbil \| #016 Except the series has evolved... a lot. If you compare even FR/LG to R/B they're extremely different games in ways other than just graphics, fixing the plethora of bugs from R/B, and adding new Pokemon. I believe someone a while ago started a topic where he went over every new aspect of pokemon since the RBY days. I don't think it got very far off the ground, but there were a ton of changes. If you don't see a huge number of changes in the past 15 years, you haven't been playing the games. It's front heavy. D/P and B/W's changes are minuscule compared to the leaps G/S and to a lesser extent, R/S did. Gamefreak's execs are getting lazier and lazier because they know the games still sell. From: Team Rocket Elite \| #017 I'm saying DON'T shake up the series. Leave the mainline game alone for the people like me who like the rehashes. Whether you like it or not, there's millions of people who like them. If you have some great new idea go make a new series. No. Rehash lovers like you definitely make up the minority of pokemon's fanbase. this is why the pokemon fanbase is ever shifting (except the nostalgia fanboys from RBY's days) and new kids constantly replace the 11-14 year-olds who start outgrowing the franchise. -- *GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.* http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif

Topic	Idea: Why not let GF users pick the GOTY for each year...in a contest tournament
iGenesis 12/13/11 5:04:00 PM #1	So instead seeing the same characters win every year, we can have an interesting contest that's not easily predictable: the GOTY selection ensures that no game is ever entered twice into a bracket tournament. It'd be fairly trivial to come up with a shortlist of ~10 potential GOTY candidates (Arkham City, Portal 2, Skyrim, Skyward Sword, ME2, LBP2, GOW3, MW3, etc.); however, it's not clear which of these would win in a 1:1 polling format. And if we were to expand the list to include Tier 2 and Tier 3 games (for example Sonic Generations vs. RAGE), it'd be hard to submit a perfect bracket. -- *GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.* http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif

Unlike you guys, I actually don't think PKMN Trainers > Samus/Ridley is a foregone conclusion. However, being fortunate enough to be among the 7 users who are on both bracket & battle leaderboards, I can afford to hedge my bets on the final "debatable" match of the contest.

Topic	"When is it safe to bank if your goal is to win a prize?"
iGenesis 12/10/11 11:16:00 AM #1	From previous years' contests: 8th-prize 13th-leaderboard 8th-prize 14th-leaderboard 10 16 10 14 10 15 10 23 10 23 This year, there are more prizes (20) than ever before. So, extrapolating from previous years' prize eligibility ratios, it looks like if you can finish in the top 30 on the leaderboard, you'll most likely get a prize. Therefore, if your goal is to win something (not necessarily get 1st place), you can bank when you're #25-30 (not tied). The big question is whether the leaderboard will be trimmed down to that size by the end of this contest, which doesn't look very likely at this point, but you never know. -- *GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.* http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif

Topic	The scoring system for the bracket needs to be changed
iGenesis 12/10/11 11:01:00 AM #1	The current system puts a disproportionate weight on the later rounds, so that someone may get all the initial rounds perfect but mess up on a late pick and finish terribly. Instead of this Round 1 = 1pt. Round 2 = 2pt. Round 3 = 4pt. Round 4 = 8pt. ... Round X = 2^(X-1)pt. I think we should have this: Round 1 = 1pt. Round 2 = 2pt. Round 3 = 3pt. Round 4 = 4pt. ... Round X = Xpt. The battle contest partially solves this problem but requires long streaks of consecutively correct predictions. If entrant A had a perfect bracket except the final pick and a Round 1 pick, he'd lose the bracket contest and the battle contest (the wrong R1 pick would end the streak)...so this scoring system isn't a good reflection of an entry's quality. -- *GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.* http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif
