Zoro jumped from 178 to 197 in like 10 seconds. What the hell?
Maybe some mod is trying to make things more interesting..
or maybe the reliable trolls just signed on and voted for zoro. cause now he's at 200. 8D

It's probably a side-effect of the database problems the forum has been having this afternoon. I'll have e1n look into it.
when the forum was up again, jonas was still fixing stuff with the mysql library or something (i don't really get it). so maybe some of the votes that got in before the forum went down or right after the forum came back on came in delayed?
i dunno. that's the only explanation i could think of =/
Ah, i see. It's likely, i logged right after the forum returned.
The downtime was clearly just the mods rigging the contest so luffy would win. They deleted at least 200 Zoro votes…
See, people think I'm joking about rigging this for financial reasons but I'm not.
Hmm, so Luffy won. I figured the votes would be…closer?
not yet. there's still another day. i heard some zoro supporters are saving their votes for day 2.

Yeah, there's still another day.
Buggy vs Zoro had over 600 votes…. there's only 504 right now... so that is still another 100 or so votes floating. :)
don't give up hope, zoro fans! bring all your zorofangirl buddies over!
Vote Pirate King! Vote Luffy!
Annnnd we're back!
And at 41% too. Yesss
One little victory for Zoro fans – let's set our sights on 50% now.
So nobody wants to be Luffy's 300th voter?
I believe in you Zoro, I believe in you!
Hmmmm, how come we can't see who voted for who in this poll?
Remember the cake! You'll get some if you vote for Zoro!
Luffy will just eat it all if you vote for him. wink
!
I believe in you Zoro, I believe in you!
I believe in Harvey De… oh wait.
Just kidding, vote Zoro.
Vote for Zoro, since he have dental plan. And Luffy needs braces.
Hmmmm, how come we can't see who voted for who in this poll?
it's my mistake. i forgot to check the option to make the poll public. it's too late to fix now or we'll have to restart the poll.
even he's not going to win, he'll have a cool pose XDDD
so vote Marimo!

Heheheh… e1n, you've just given me an idea for a new campaign ...!
wanders off to find some doujin anthologies
While I'm otherwise preoccupied with that project, Kermit the Frog has agreed to sing a suitable campaign theme song. Feel free to sing along -- or not -- but be sure to read the annotations at the bottom!

LYRICS:
It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red*, or yellow** or gold***
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy**** sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky ++
But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain+++, or tall like a tree^^
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine,
it's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be

Yes, exactly – Zoro gets fifty percent more mileage out of a blood transfusion than any other pirate on the Grand Line does, so that means Sunny gets to sail in the express lane no matter how many crewmates are on board at one time.

Does that help?
Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
Perfect! You go after the yaoi fangirls and I'll concentrate on the het and all-chara fangirls.
wow. gap's been reduced to less than 100.
KEEP IT GOING TEAM ZORO! GREEN IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
Last I checked Zoro was losing by 110+ votes.
But since then he's made about a 40-vote gain. Wow! And Luffy's hardly gotten any new ones. I was sure after the new chapter dropped he'd be getting a ton more. Shows that even in a shut out, you can have surprises.
There's still a day - maybe Zoro can close the gap and make the Luffy fans' jaws drop.
I voted for Luffy. Also, great job on the intro banners and AMV! ^^
Anyways, this is one interesting match. Can't wait to see who wins! ^^
It has been an hour and Luffy only got 3 votes. Wow.
luffy's fans are clearly getting exhausted.
come on zoro fans! it's the 2nd day already D=
Hmmmm, how come we can't see who voted for who in this poll?
lol, after seeing such a one-sided jump in votes, I was curious to check that option, too.
Luffy's support beginning to slack off isn't that big of a surprise as we're getting fairly close to the number of votes he usually gets in a match anyway. Sure, he managed to get quite a few more votes than this in the First Round, but that was against Spandam, a character that a lot of people hate. Far as the chapter having an impact goes, that would mainly have shown up early in the match rather than later on in it. My guess is Luffy will only gain something like twenty or thirty more votes from here on out.
On the other hand, Zoro is still well below his average for a match and it's somewhat questionable as to how much overlap there is between the two fanbases; my guess is that, while there are a few swing votes, the bases are largely two different sets of people. So there are undoubtedly quite a few more votes out there for Zoro even now.

i thought i explained that already.

i guess i'll refrain from making tournament threads next year. =/
i made the same mistake in franky vs sanji too, only i realized it way sooner, so it was possible to close and restart the poll.

Oh I wasn't questioning what happened (I saw your explanation). I just thought it was funny that someone else had the same automatic compulsion as me.

That I'm not too sure about, since one of Zoro's huge advantages in previous matches was his being 'second top-ranked Straw Hat', which obviously is meaningless when pitted against the main one. But the fact that we're already seeing a huge turnaround does make it very possible.
There is still more-or-less a day left. Plenty of time for the fangirl army to rally and make something hilarious happen.
Hmm…I've decided. Voting for Luffy after all. :ninja: Still no internet for Chrissie :< Now I am leaching off a friend :ninja:
...But what is this? The Zoro fans are going wild! Ugh...You are making it harder for me to choose. And I gotta go soon :/
Edit: That's it. A cointoss (again) to see who I am going to vote. The first time it was Luffy, second time it was Zoro and number three will decide it all: Zoro. Damn! You are a lucky ducky Zoro :ninja:
yes you hear me! vote for the cool pose … haha!
Congratulations Luffy for winning the contest !
We still have around a day left of voting. =\
@e1n:
don't give up hope, zoro fans! bring all your zorofangirl buddies over!
:sad: Oh, no, I'm my own zorofangirl buddy! There has to be more around here somewhere… possibly getting their beauty sleep now so they can all log on and vote for Zoro in one gigantic wave of love!
Go Zoro!
ill try to work on my new campaign after school today.
Get ready, Luffy!
yeah go marimo!!!!

570 already voted. Who should vote and turn the result during this day?
Congratulations Luffy.
