Why is the usernames not colored like their draft team, like usual? At one point I went there, while it looked like someone was doing it, but that stopped again or what?

Are you talking about the fantasy spreadsheet? I think that Ngamer is waiting for all the trades to be finalized.

Ngamer, if that's not true, I can update the team members with the colors whenever you want.

I have trouble gauging Nio's strength in relation to the top 3, so she might slip in between one of those guys in the ranking. I expect, in any case, for the top 4 to be pretty close to each other. I don't see Semi around enough to guarantee him a ticket out of here, but he may just surprise me.

SuperNiceDog

This division was really hard to predict. This division absolutely has the strongest tenth place this year. In any other division SuperNiceDog would be able to capitalize on his Guru success and escape the first round, but the competition in this one is just too fierce. Digi may lose some points for his long absence, but it seems that he has recently returned so that shouldn't hurt him too much. I wouldn't be surprised here if most of the users here score in the negatives.

I have to admit the ranking for Moogle and GTM was a toss-up for me, but I hope you don't think that Moogle would get any higher than 4th in that division. The top 3 are much stronger than the rest.

Yes, I have her in 4th behind 9, 12, and 31 on the top 100 list. The top 100 list isn't the definitive ranking.

EDIT: Need I remind you that I was placed 79th on the top 100, but in UotY I placed above Drak, Haguile, and SBell who all placed much higher in top 100. So I don't think my prediction is that unrealistic.

part of the reason board8chat people did so well in top 100 users is because they talk to each other a lot, and when asked to come up with a list of 15 users with no guidance, you're much more likely to go with people you interact with all the time

compare that to UotY, where you're given a specific set of users and told to decide which ones you like more, and people are much more likely to vote for the person they forgot when coming up with names off the top of their heads

a lot of b8c people voted in top 100 users, so it's only natural that they did better as a whole - but that advantage evaporates when put in a more rigid structure with more voters

Compared to the other "board8chat" people, I usually don't do too well in Top 100 Users. I only finished 29th despite showing up on 15 lists. My 15 list appearances is more than the next 16 users ahead of me. It isn't until you get to Ayvuir (12th overall) that someone ahead of me has more list appearances than me. In my situation, I only averaged about 4 points per list because so many people were putting me low on their lists. Most of the other users ahead of me were averaging between 7 to 11 points for each list appearance. Most of the people that voted for me didn't see me as a person that deserved to be high on their list, even if they would normally vote for me in UotY if they saw my name. For comparison, my overall finish in Top 100 users and UotY

2011: N/A / UotY: 34th
2010: 31st / UotY: 36th
2009: N/A / UotY: 77th
2008: N/A / UotY: 92nd

I finished in the top 100 of UotY every single time, but only had one appearance on the Top 100 Users list before this year.

Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ!

I must be the exception to the rule. This was my first appearance on Top 100 users ever at a measly 48th, but I've been top 25 in UotY twice now. Looking for a 3rd in a row!
