I arrived at those results by starting with Final-Fan's post at 21:36 and working forward from there.

The problem comes when supermario128 votes too early. From that point on Mario actually has one less vote than displayed. That means when mibuokami's vote takes Mario to only 1 point, it is actually eliminated. Every vote after that no longer counts.

The problem with that method is that people were voting without knowing the actual scores.

Another problem comes when Final-Fan posts at 22:10. For some reason, he says that mibuokmi's vote is not valid. It looks ok to me, but maybe it was edited at some point.

Well, I could try to reconstruct exactly what happened, but I don't have to.  It's all too clear what happened:   

I updated the scores with people's votes since they got off kilter (again), but made a mistake.  I saw that mibuokami's vote was impossible and neutralized it.  Then I found an error in my tallies, corrected it, and failed to realize that mibuokami's vote was actually valid after all.  (Normally I mark all notable edits in my posts, but this thread was just moving too fast to spend the effort on nuances like that.)

Sorry everyone.  And damn you all for picking Zelda at the end.

When I came up with my results, I went way back, all the way to before there was any confusion. I believe I started when you eliminated Pikmin, and started working from there with each vote.

 

Took a while to weed through everything, but yeah. I believe that, since I started from before the mess even began, we didn't have to deal with any errors that were missed.

It also helped that I was figuring it all out after everything was done. =p

 

Anyhow, I'm compiling a "Nintendo games" elimination game. This is a list of franchises that have only appeared on Nintendo systems, but may not necessarily belong to Nintendo. This sucker's going to be thorough, since popularity and sales will be much less of an influence here, so nobody else try starting your own because it won't be as good!

 

:p

 

You guys can make your own elimination games on any other topic, though. =)

IIRC Samus won the elimination game of best videogame character, so making it female only would probably be a very boring thread.

How many of these threads have there been? This is the only one I have participated in.

There've been a TON. They were all a fad last year, went out of style because all the ideas were exhausted, and the concept mostly forgotten.

Then, Rol (I think it was Rol?) mentioned elimination games in the VGChartz Awards thread, and I decided to revive it. =)
