red sox 777 12/22/18 11:53:49 PM #322:	xp1337 posted... KamikazePotato posted... As someone who wasn't there - what was the justification for running the poll past the time limit? Because that seems absurd. Well, the added time was always on the front end. The matches started early and the stated reason IIRC was to let us move on to the next match when the previous one was obviously decided. I don't recall the exact way this always played out because I don't think it ever remotely mattered until that match, but I think they played out much the same way (ran until midnight even if they started at 11:45 or whatever unless it too was a blowout etc) just... again, it never mattered until - of course - Mario/Crono of all matches. There were no other matches in Summer 2003 that went to the wire. Magus/Ganondorf was probably the closest and Magus was 600 votes up and rising again by the last hour. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:914577677] in transience...
