    Ehhhh.... The Likes a story gets probably have little bearing on how many votes it gets. Many of Ack's readers who Like all his stories will never vote on them.

    I was thinking that there might be a correlation with how popular a chapter is compared to previous and with how many votes it gets. Still, I recognize that it's something of a long shot.

    So having never really seen the point of creating an account to view the fiction ( when you can read most of it without one) you have motivated me to do so in order to vote .....so I thank you for that, good Sir Ack...and with that said.

    Alerts, my friend. Lets you see when a story gets updated without having to check the thread manually every time. Same reason you'd make an account for Fanfiction.net or Archive of Our Own.

    Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1320

    Announcement
    The new vote counting system is awesome. That is all.


    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 336
    All Alone 718
    Bait & Switch 675
    Confrontation II 501
    Danny & Taylor 844
    Hostage Situation 217
    I, Panacea 1147
    Junior Hero 903
    Meet the Heberts 622
    MirrorVerse 1131
    NSW 951
    Nemesis 681
    One More Trigger 262
    Really Bad End 1091
    Recoil 942
    Security! 0 (1178)
    Slippery Slope 326
    Trump Card 200
    War Games 64
    Wyvern 794

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    Well, Security! has come in just 31 points ahead of the fast-approaching I, Panacea, which is the odds-on favourite to win next round, followed by MirrorVerse, then it looks like Recoil and Wyvern might beat out Really Bad End before its turn. Oh well, it'll get there eventually :p.


    Note also that the vote counting script given to me by Throne3d was of huge assistance.

    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


    For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

    Vote format looks like this:

    Thank you.

    Voting is OPEN.

    Yeah, RBE is gonna have to wait its turn.

    Next four rounds are still being predicted with high enough margins that upsets are unlikely:

    Vote 85: I, Panacea - 67-vote margin
    Vote 86: MirrorVerse - 55-vote margin
    Vote 87: Recoil - 139-vote margin
    Vote 88: Wyvern - 63-vote margin

    After that, predictions have shifted. Last time, Really Bad End was predicted to win Vote 89 by 1 vote; now it looks like NSW has pulled well ahead of it and is going to win by 25. RBE gets the next one for certain, though, winning Vote 90 by a whopping 191 votes. Vote 91 isn't quite as forgone, but still almost certainly going to Alea Iacta Est, at a margin of 87 votes.

    Then we have a pair of close rounds in a row. Vote 92 is currently penciled-in for All Alone, but by a margin of only 8 votes -- very possible this could shift as we get close. Nearest competitors to it at that point are Meet the Heberts 8 votes behind, or Danny & Taylor 10 votes behind. If even 1 vote per round shifts away from All Alone, or to either of those stories, that will change things by the time we reach that vote in the first week of January.

    Vote 93 is also close. Trump Card will have shot to the top of the charts, its high vote-rate enabling it to surpass Meet the Heberts by 10 votes. Danny & Taylor will not have kept up; it gets even fewer votes that MtH and will be about 40 votes behind Trump Card.

    If none of those predictions are upset, Meet the Heberts will coast to an easy win in Vote 94, on a margin of 58 votes.

    From there, rounds-to-win look like so:

    Alea Iacta Est: 8
    All Alone: 23
    Bait & Switch: 23
    Confrontation II: 3
    Danny & Taylor: 2
    Hostage Situation: 12
    I, Panacea: 4
    Junior Hero: 8
    Meet the Heberts: 20
    MirrorVerse: 16
    NSW: 17
    Nemesis: 15
    One More Trigger: 10
    Really Bad End: 46
    Recoil: 4
    Security!: 7
    Slippery Slope: 8
    Trump Card: 11
    War Games: 6
    Wyvern: 6

    Again, that's counting from Vote 94.

    Accuracy for the Vote 84 predictions was 97.62% overall, with an average difference of 8 votes between predicted and actual results. Most accurate was a tie; both Confrontation II and Junior Hero came in exactly on-target; 100% accurate, 0 votes off. Least accurate proportionally was War Games, which just updated and earned only 80% of expected votes. Least accurate in raw count was Slippery Slope, which pulled in 27 more votes than expected.



    As for my vote:
    [X] Meet the Heberts - 6
    [X] NSW - 5
    [X] War Games - 4
    [X] One More Trigger - 3
    [X] Security! - 2
    [X] Recoil - 1
