Board 8 > Game of the Decade 2 Oracle Challenge Discussion + Team Sign-Up Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seeking an Oracle teammate. I know it is a common refrain, but truly, do not pick me if you want somebody who knows more than jack diddly about the last decade or is likely to intuit it.

SND, sorry I did not see your message. I do not know why, but I dont think I have ever once seen a notification that someone has atted me. I guess SuperKnightsDog will need to be boarded this year!

Sure, I'll sign up as a free agent. Ping me if you want to team up with me.

Assuming meche doesn't pop back in after not visiting in the last four months, I'll throw my name in for needing a new teammate.

---

Luster are we going with the Red Grunting Boneheads again? That was a name from a random generator but it was pretty cool.

Sounds good! I will propose Metal Knights for our team name, because it practically makes itself.

---

I agree!

I'll sign up as a free agent, if anyone wants a partner.

Myself and @SSBM_Guy joining as Bit Tick.

@hylianknight3 / @MetalmindStats you guys are going DOWNNNN

---

@Ringworm Any name ideas?

How about "The Unpredictable Wormhole"?

---

anyone else think 90% is too much for Zelda: Breath of the Wild today?

---

I'm awful at coming up with names, that'll do.

---

Glad I put a few safeties down, was completely unaware the polls were starting at this time.

---

Pretty solid picks for today, minus having Reach at 72%

lol halo

Reach at 72%

Now that's a stretch.

---

It's not a stretch to assume a shitty non-game like LiS, which carries itself entirely on its story of a gender fluid whiny teenager of a main character, wouldn't do well on a site populated almost exclusively by 25+ year old men. Particularly against the most critically acclaimed of the Halo series.

But I digress

---

I'm currently off 0.10% on BotW. It would be awesome if many people hadn't put a round 85% for it. >_>

---

So do we have a leaderboard for this

---

Also, what time do new polls start? Are we doing 8 matches a day with 12 hour polls???

---

All matches will start at 8:00 PM EST and run for 24 hours. There are no 12 hour matches in this contest.

Not yet. Still being worked on.

I mean this with all the good will in the world: why are you still like this?

Ok, so that's 7PM my time now. That totally threw me off. Thanks, Luster.

I'll give Black Turtle this- he's consistent.

Waiting for standings <3

Not that many participants this year. Probably wouldn't be too hard for someone to quickly throw something together in sheets. May look at it later after I'm done shopping and exercising if nobody else does

Can't you exercise whilst shopping and throw something together sooner ;)

one thing I've learned is to trust @hylianknight3 's numbers, when I go with numbers near him I do better lolol

Heyo

As I completely forgot to submit my picks, please withdraw Bloodborn. David doesn't need me weighing him down and embarrassing him.

Unless you're allowed to replace me in Bloodborn with someone who isn't an idiot

---

I changed my picks, and although I pretty much nailed Horizon's result by doing that, I also downgraded Fallout and Borderlands because of INDIE FEAR, so ultimately I did worse... -___-

---

I made the same mistake with downgrading Fallout too much. I had an original pick of 71.11%, which would have been really good with these results (and Fallout still rising). But I ended up lowering that by 6% based on indies not rolling over and dying in this contest.

I also made the mistake of lowering Borderlands 2 when Hollow Knight (another Metroidvania-like game) did so well in its match, so I assumed Bloodstained would be stronger than expected.
---

any early standings updates? Who's winning and who's doing bad?

---

@XIII_rocks Can you reconsider dropping out of teams? Right now we have an even number of players which works out.

The current team situation looks like this:

DarkFalconX
cyko

If XIII_rocks stays in, DarkFalconX and cyko become a team. If not, I'll have to randomly choose 2 out 3 including davidponte.
---

Yeah, there is a rule in the team portion where if you miss a prediction it doesn't hurt your team too bad.

misread the post

---

I mean sure but I have little intention of participating now I've missed like 12 matches. I mean I'm gonna drop the odd prediction here and there but no regularity.

---

I will take Dark Falcon for the final team. Why not?


---

I know I'm late to the party, but if you need another player, I'll join

---

Sounds good!

---

Forgot to change my safeties, again, as I knew I had to boost a couple, this starting time is not great for me. Fairly sure I'm well off the pace anyway. I assume we will get results at some point?
