Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

Yes, you did.

 

Okay, time to tally votes.

Voting is CLOSED.

 

I just want you to all know that I didn't try and muck with the results this time. Maybe when I get bored enough I'll try and engineer a 3-way tie, but until then...

 

[X] All Alone - 6
[X] Confrontation II - 5
[X] Wyvern - 4
[X] Trump Card - 3
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 2
[X] One More Trigger - 1

 

[X] MirrorVerse - 6
[X] Junior Hero - 5
[X] All Alone - 4
[X] Security! - 3
[X] Slippery Slope - 2
[X] Confrontation II - 1

The Ack Stock Exchange is on again.

 

That would be impressive, if you can pull it off.

 

All Alone for -4?

 

I expect it would take multiple rounds of nudging the voting totals in the right way and analysis of voting rates. And patience. Lots of patience.

 

[X] Security! - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] One More Trigger - 4
[X] Trump Card - 3

I'm opening my votes up to the Ack Stock Exchange. If you quote this post, and vote for MirrorVerse I will give a story of your choice a vote of the corresponding value.

Security! - 3?

Edit: Since it's been four days I filled in my remaining open votes with my own choices.

 

If someone votes for Confrontation II or All Alone--just Confrontation II, actually--I'll match that value (or nearest free value) vote with the fic of your choosing. Quote me if you want to take me up on this.

[X] Recoil - 6
[X] Confrontation II - 5
[X] MirrorVerse - 4
[X] All Alone - 3

Votes I'm willing to replace:
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 2
[X] Wyvern - 1

 

I gave MirrorVerse a 4. Give Confrontation II a bone?

 

[X] Wyvern - 6
[X] Recoil - 5
[X] War Games - 4
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 3
[X] All Alone - 2
[X] Really Bad End - 1

 

[X] Recoil - 6
[X] Security! - 5
[X] I, Panacea - 4
[X] Alea Iacta Est - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] Junior Hero - 1

 

*phew*

You're right on that one. Recoil is ahead right now, 805 to 767, but it's only picked up 114 votes around on average over the last 9 votes, while Wyvern is picking up around 160. Right now it looks like Wyvern will pull ahead, but by a very thin margin -- enough for Recoil to potentially hang on to the lead. Whichever of them wins in Vote 67 will probably break the 900-vote mark in the process, and the other will break the 1k vote mark in Vote 68.

After that, yes, Security! is a solid pick for a winner in Vote 69, looking likely to join the 900-club as well. All Alone will be right behind it in Vote 70, scoring its first win since it joined the running. Trump Card may be close on its heels, however; possibly inside the 30-vote margin, so you might seen an upset there. If not, then Trump Card will handily win Vote 71.

Then Vote 72 brings Alea Iacta Est back into the spotlight, where it narrowly beats out my personal favorite Meet the Heberts, jumping up two vote cycles compared to previous predictions. Meet the Heberts gets bumped back to Vote 73, and in turn bumps Wyvern back to Vote 74. Thanks to getting bumped back a cycle, both stories look liable to break the 1k mark, with Wyvern possibly beating 1,100.

Not to be out-done, I, Panacea elbows its way up past the 1k mark in Vote 75, but One More Trigger is in no rush and ambles easily to the high 900s.

Thank you for not doing so. Recoil came in 26 votes ahead of last prediction, compared to NSW's only 10 votes ahead. Wouldn't have been hard to push that one way or the other.

On other accuracy points, War Games came in 1 vote behind prediction after its first win. Proportionally, Bait & Switch was the most accurate at 99.45%, while I, Panacea was least accurate at 94.85%. Overall accuracy for the last set of predictions was 97.65%.

Slippery Slope for 2?

 

Shit, man. I remember when I first found this thread around vote 15, it was rare we had a fic past 500 points that didn't win. Now we're racing into the thousands.

Crazy.

Edit:

Last slot for Confrontation II? Give BuddyCop!Sophia some love?

Edit 2: Ayyy.

 

Jim Starluck can you link your vote spreadsheet to your sig, or put a link here?

 

Sigged it.

 

You think that's crazy? Check out the first three vote counts from when I kicked over the dedicated vote thread in the NSFW forum:

... yeah, things have come a long way.

 

A vote for Confrontation II. There you go.

 

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] Wyvern - 5
[X] Nemesis - 4
[X] Hostage Situation - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] Security! - 1

 

Yeah, we've been seeing some serious vote count inflation over the last nine months. We haven't had a vote total below 600 since July, and haven't had one below 500 since May.

 

Maybe consider making the "Ack's Vote Thread" part a link to the thread, for the uninformed.
