Accuracy

So for my predictions I was off by 129 votes out of 1,329 so I was 12.72% off in total. (88.28% accuracy overall). Averaging the individual accuracies (of predicted gains) gives 84.17% accuracy, which tells me some stories were outliers in terms of how badly they were predicted. In terms of predicting the totals (which isn't really an accurate measure of accuracy because of how the known totals offsets it, there was an overall accuracy of 98.35% and an average one of 97.23%).

In terms of gain accuracy:

Most Accurate: All Alone, Meet the Heberts, One More Trigger (100%)
Least Accurate: Nemesis (28 predicted vs 50: 21.43%) NSW (55 predicted vs 36: 47.27%), Security! (101 predicted vs 65: 64.36%)

We also seemingly had one less voter than last time.

Looking at the predicted gains over time: the spreadsheet is predicting that, around vote 78, Recoil will take Wyvern's place as the most voted story.[/B]

Predictions

For Vote 70, All Alone (969 predicted) seems sure to win, with Trump Card (871 predicted) coming in as a distant second.

For Vote 71, Trump Card (978 predicted) is most likely to win although Alea Iacta Est (931 is catching up). Predicted Close Vote.

For Vote 72, Alea Iacta Est (1,056 predicted) is almost guaranteed to win, passing the 1,000 vote mark, with Meet the Heberts (965 predicted) almost a hundred votes behind.

For Vote 73, my last prediction, Meet the Heberts (1,030 predicted) winning, appears to be in error, as I, Panacea (1,043 predicted) surpasses it slightly. Predicted Very Close Vote.

For Vote 74, Meet the Heberts (1,095 predicted) will finally manage a victory, with the runner up, One More Trigger (953 predicted) over a hundred points behind.

Vote 75: Normally I won't bother trying to predict votes more than 5 votes away due to butterfly errors, but it looks like the top three will be: Wyvern (1,048) One More Trigger (1,033) and Slippery Slope (1,024). In other words a ridiculously close vote. With a great enough effort, it might even manage to be a three way tie.[/B]

Anyone want to make a long-term vote swap arrangement? As in, I vote for something you want, you give the same value vote to Confrontation II (preferred) or All Alone, and we do that for the rest of our lives?

Somehow, despite refreshing the page about 20 times between when votes closed for the last vote and now checking for new posts, including four times today, I have managed to completely miss that the new vote had started... Weird.

Well, Security didn't quite make the thousand mark, but it's made the pick this time. Tipped for the 900s, and possible winner, next voting round is All Alone; however, Trump Card is coming up fast. There's really nothing else that can catch it.

Yes, All Alone has Vote 70 more or less sewed up tight; even if Trump Card is close, it'd need 80 votes to close the gap -- a mighty big difference to swing. It should take Vote 71, though, even if Alea Iacta Est is right behind it -- that's another 80-ish vote gap, and while AIE is a marginally faster vote-getter, Trump Card has too much of a lead to make an overtake likely. So that's Vote 70 going to All Alone, 71 to Trump Card, and 72 going to AIE -- the last being likely to join the 1k Club as it wins.

After that, though, we've got multiple close calls coming up! Vote 73 will be a narrow contest between Meet the Heberts and I, Panacea, with MtH holding a fingernail-thin lead. That contest could go either way, depending on how the votes fall. Whoever wins 73, the other will win 74; the competition is about 200 votes behind.

Vote 75 will be another close one, though, as it looks like recently-updated Wyvern, One More Trigger, and Recoil will all be closing in on the mid-900s around the same time. At present it looks to be Wyvern in Vote 75, Recoil in Vote 76 and OMT in Vote 77, but all that could change as we get closer -- the margins here are very close.

And the pressure won't let up! Vote 78 may be another close finish, this time with Slippery Slope holding a narrow lead over Confrontation II. As has been the pattern, whichever of them falls behind can be assured to win the next round handily.

We're looking at almost every winner for the next month either coming in the 900s or 1,000s, with the balance of them over the 1k mark. Vote inflation is continuing to to drive numbers higher and higher, and it doesn't look like it'll be slowing down anytime soon.


In accuracy this last round, we had some very accurate results and one very inaccurate. Bait and Switch, Hostage Situation and Meet the Heberts all came in exactly one vote ahead of predicted, with MtH taking home the trophy for proportional accuracy at 99.87%. On the flipside, NSW underperformed drastically, earning 25 less votes than anticipated -- it only brought in 26 votes this time, its lowest earning since February. As a whole, results were about 96.88% accurate.

Current rankings for average vote-earners (this time including changes from last ranking):

1: Wyvern - 159 (down 1)
2: Alea Iacta Est - 124
3: Recoil - 116 (up 1)
4: Trump Card - 112 (down 1)
5: I, Panacea - 98 (up 2)
6: Security! - 78 (down 1)
7: Meet the Heberts - 64
8: One More Trigger - 63 (up 1)

10: NSW - 49 (down 2)
11: TIED! - 48
