Yep... this match proves that the picture order matters. A lot. This round is going to be so screwy. I hope the round 2 pictures will be different (and fairer).
2005 is really dominating, though. 1978 is almost as popular as 1979, so the difference between 2005 and 2009 this round is pretty large. Well, except that 1978's pic representation is worse than 1979's, so I guess the difference isn't quite THAT big. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun.

Is 2006 really underperforming? 1981 is a pretty decent year relative to the other pre-1985 years.
Currently 2006 is expected to get 68.68% against 1989 if we hold the 80s vote in to be constant. --- Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winners: 2006 and 2005 Current Bracket Score: 2/2 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I found myself surprised to vote for 1981, but it's got three classic games listed I'd goof around with anytime while I quit every listed 2006-game pretty early upon playing them. I struggled to think of what I liked from 2006 besides Wii Sports and the Wii.
2006 could still beat 2011 since some of this was realizing 1981's got several games I like...just don't expect much cheering from me for 2006 until I realize there are some games I forgot I love from it. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! ... Copied to Clipboard!

For those who can't see the match pictures, are you from outside the US and Canada? I know spooky96 is definitely outside the US and Canada.
If this is mainly affecting those outside the US and Canada, the reduced vote totals from this issue should be extremely pronounced in a few hours from now when North America makes up less than 50% of the incoming votes (based on continent polls). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

If we're going to keep rotating pictures, at least speed up the rotation animation. It takes about 21 seconds for all 5 pictures to appear through the rotation animation.
This is the JavaScript code that produces the rotating pictures: setTimeout(function(){ setInterval(function(){ $('#i1').animate({'background-position-y': '-=120px'}, 250, 'swing');}, 5000); }, 1250); setTimeout(function(){ setInterval(function(){ $('#i2').animate({'background-position-y': '-=120px'}, 250, 'swing');}, 5000); }, 1500); setTimeout(function(){ setInterval(function(){ $('#i3').animate({'background-position-y': '-=120px'}, 250, 'swing');}, 5000); }, 1750); setTimeout(function(){ setInterval(function(){ $('#i4').animate({'background-position-y': '-=120px'}, 250, 'swing');}, 5000); }, 2000); After fooling around with that code, we could get the pictures to rotate faster by changing all 4 instances of "5000" to a lower number such as 3000 or 2500. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

Mario 3's chances of getting slot 1 on the picture are likely much higher than Majora's Mask's chances. 1990 has a very good chance of being the right call. We're 3/8 for the strongest game appearing at the top (1981, 1989 and maybe 2009). I've also noticed the game featured with the year appears in the second slot 7/8 times (1979's Asteroids appeared third). --- Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winners: 2006 and 2005 Current Bracket Score: 2/2 ...

If we keep the 70s vote-in results constant 2009 is expected to get 42.64% against 2005, that's a bit more than I thought. Though using an 8-way poll with the possibility of SFF may not be the best idea...
