And all the people in the FF topic are saying they're voting for Garrus


I like to visit reddit to see the rally topics posted for different matches. The one thing that always amazes me is the amount of people who say they're going to vote for the other guy. See it in just about every topic, and usually by multiple people.

I understand that you can have multiple interests as a video game fan, but if your a lurker/visitor on a game-specific reddit what are the odds you'd like the other character better? Just seems low, but it happens so often.

I suspect it's because they're much more inclined to comment if they chose to vote for the other character, presumably because they perceive it as contrarian.


Yeah

The number of people who vote because of a rally and the number of people who comment on a rally topic are two very different beasts. And as you said, you're way more likely to comment because you're going against the grain. It creates an inflated idea of "anti rally voters". How many people are you really talking about there, these people that said they'd vote Garrus? Like 10? 20?

Indeed, a whopping one person commented on that r/FinalFantasy thread saying they would vote Garrus!

What were the trends of western characters? Backloaded?

So far this contest, modern Western characters such as Joel have been quite backloaded, shaving significant percentage off their opponents during the night and the following day.

A lot of money lost on Ike and Phoenix falling just short of the line!

As pleased as I would be to still have some money left, I played myself with the wording of my bet on that four-way parlay. I said at the time that if I were wrong about the amount of money I had banked, I would bet MAX on that parlay, and I was. That means I should be at $0 banked, with a $1,000 bet on a Hat Kid / Zelda parlay.

Also, I will bet 50% on a two-match parlay on Jill Valentine and Waluigi.

Let's actually do this correctly:

If my bank is non-zero after today's matches (the set including Phoenix), $50,000 on a single-match bet on Zelda.

Otherwise, MAX on a 2-way parlay on Hat Kid and Zelda.

Should be up to date!

A total of $56,000 was bet and lost on Princess Peach (including parlays she was in). Yikes!

All part of The Plan

I don't think my current $4,000 in the bank is correct. After my very first bet on Velvet covered, I next went for a max parlay on Crash and Ridley. Since both covered, that should have put me at $6,000 banked then. With my 50% bet on Kefka also covering, I should currently be at $9,000 banked.

If I'm correct about my current banked total, I will bet 50% on a four-match parlay on Phoenix Wright, Ike, Isaac, and Kirby. If not, I will bet MAX on a four-match parlay comprised of the same characters.


That was a major derp on my part, for whatever reason I counted your Kefka bet as a loss.

For the record, a 2-way parlay at $2000 gives you $6000 profit, so you were actually at $8000. Then your 50% Kefka bet put you at $12000. Sorry about that!

Thank you! And yeah you're right, for some reason I misinterpreted the example two-way parlay profit as giving you triple the bet, including the bet itself. I don't think it really matters, though, since Ike is going to burn me

Shantae lost because the only thing that extra-long ponytail did for her was to allow Yoshi to lick her up and lay her off the edge in an egg.

James Sunderland lost because Velvet had the willpower to keep fighting another day.

Scorpion lost because he didnt have any gym badges, so Pikachu refused to obey his order to GET OVER HERE!

John Marston lost because Gods need not care about their personal hygiene.
