The latest vote count is also missing the threadmark again. (The latest listed is "Vote 62: Trump Card".) Thanks for all your amazing stories!

Well, I, Panacea beat out Alea Iacta Est for Vote 63 (by three points), but AIE looks like a favourite for Vote 64.


Well, we shall see what we shall see.

Yes, that's right folks, you have seeing_octarine to thank for this photo-finish upset! Alea Iacta Est comes in 17 votes slow, while I, Panacea picks up an extra 10 votes, giving it just enough lead to eke out the win! AIE is still close behind, however, and a shoe-in to win the next vote in the upper-800s, breaking the 800-vote threshold for the first time!

Trailing AIE by a wide margin is fellow newcomer War Games, which looks likely to win Vote 64 in the low 700s. After that it's everyone's favorite dragon, Wyvern, rocketing back to the top to win Vote 65 in the mid-700s, still earning more votes a round than anything else in Ack's lineup!

Then in Vote 66 it's a blast into the past as Recoil becomes the next story to hit the 800-vote mark by a wide margin, followed closely by sexy shenanigans as NSW hits the 800s as well! Not to be out-done, Security! aims to brush with the 900-vote mark in Vote 68, coming in less than 20 votes shy of the threshold!

Coming around for another lap is Trump Card in Vote 69, coming even closer to the 900 mark but still not quite hitting it. The next winner will, though -- new player All Alone, scoring its first vote win since joining the ranks! Following that we have Alea Iacta Est joining the 900 club as it wins Vote 71, and then Wyvern looks to shatter records in Vote 72 as it passes not only 1,000 votes, but also 1,100 in one fell swoop! Don't despair, fans of family fun, as it'll be my own, personal favorite, Meet the Heberts likely to win its own first round in Vote 73!

All this, and more, brought to you from Ack's Voting Thread Tracking Spreadsheet!

In the "Projected Winners" tab, it seems that you didn't zero Wyvern out after the predicted win in round 71, meaning it ends up in first place two rounds in a row (although 72 is marked "???" even though the winning number is in Wyvern's row).

EDIT: Actually, now that I look again, it's AIE that should win round 71 with 984 points to Wyvern's 954, meaning AIE should be zeroed out and Wyvern should take 72 with 1,113.

You know that Thinkers trip one another up, right?
By posting those predictions you urge people to break them.

I, Panacea isn't the highest on my list at the moment, but if the coming update leaves us hanging like the last couple, it's gonna be at the top for a loooooong time.

...Huh. So I did.

My bad. Dunno how that 5 looked like an 8.

I'm out and about right now, but I'll fix it when I get back.

Me? No, I want to know what Mr Allen will do with his army of therapist-proven parahumans.
Besides, what if Jim Starluck intends to make his tool so good itwould really predict perfectly even when everyone knows what exactly it's doing and then use mentioned tool to play on forex or stocks? Iwill not risk his secret plan just for my amusement :)
