I had a good time but I think Board 8 needs to agree on a definition for "quotable."

I'm going to be doing MQII same time next year but feel free to tell me to stop by voting in the above poll. I'm also looking for suggestions on another contest to do in the meantime. I am open to literally anything.

Bracket: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=472165

Previous Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77781664

Final Results:

(1) The Simpsons > (2) Princess Bride
35 to 34

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlzoLPPifzo" data-time="


Simpsons held onto the lead for the first few hours of the contest only for Princess Bride to blow past it and keep its lead up until the bitter end when suddenly Simpsons managed to stage a comeback. Turns out it was only mostly dead, which is still slightly alive.

I didn't bring this up in any of my match summaries before this because it never really affected the results of most matches, but the night vote in this contest tends to favor the more "mainstream" entries.

For example, Zelda CD-i and Rocky were basically tied at one point with Rocky only having a slight lead, but once the night hit Rocky ended up getting a vote surge that made the match look one sided. I think a lot of entries in this contest were particularly front loaded, which is what ended up ending Princess Bride's miracle run. If it even was a miracle run.

So here we are in a post-Most Quotable world. What did we learn? Well, when Zen hesitated for three years about making this contest because he knew the Simpsons would win, he was right. But what about the journey along the way?

We learned that Board 8 can't agree on what the word "quotable" means and isn't that the most important lesson of all?

Anyway I think I'll let the results speak for themselves, at some point I'm gonna harass Leon to make X-Stats for this. I'll keep this topic bumped for a while. Please spitball ideas for Most Quotable II. I will most likely be removing the top 4 of this Contest to open the field up a bit. I will definitely be doing a re-match of PB v Simpsons, because CJayC was kind enough to give us a Link v Cloud in almost every contest.

I actually expected Spongebob to win. Also, I know I voted for the Simpsons, but was hoping that TPB would take it.

also I resisted putting "Inconceivable" in the OP because it's such low-hanging fruit

and "'Quotable,' you keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means."

imo the fact that I had so many opportunities to put PB quotes in the OP means to me that the wrong finalist won but I gotta appear unbiased like Allen and his love for Geralt

Totally, the main reason I want to see the X-stats is how high Just a Pancake is. We need to get it a better seed next contest.

I'm gonna hit Frinkiac after work and make a ton of gifs thanks to this contest.

I would have liked to make it even easier by using creativename's X-Stat calculator. Unfortunately, however, it only spits out values rounded (also internally, I assume) to two decimal places, so using it would result in cascading rounding errors, likely eventually reaching the point where even X-Stats rounded to two decimal places are off from where they should be.

And a simplified calculation guide, incorporating all the shortcuts I was able to take to arrive at the same result: (loser's votes) divided by (half of the loser's match's total votes) multiplied by (winner's X-Stat value). If the loser lost to the overall winner, you can calculate it using an even easier method: (loser's votes) divided by (loser's match's total votes). These can be repeated as necessary through various chains, starting with the contest winner's 50.00% X-Stat value.

Ultimately, there's a surprising amount of blocs and other trends that can be derived from these values alone, if you're willing to take them more seriously than they probably should be. Random trivia that doesn't fit anywhere else in this post: Most Quotable I's Ultimate Loser is Dumb & Dumber, which probably deserves the title for failing so hard in a match it should have won with ease.

Whew! Now I'm going to rewatch Monty Python and the Holy Grail to celebrate what should have been its win. Fun contest though Zen, thank you for hosting it!

I didn't vote once here but I do like the idea lol.

As a suggestion, potentially splitting the next ones into categories? Most Quotable TV, Most Quotable Video Game, Most Quotable Movie, etc. Perhaps make it smaller so it goes faster. Just an interesting idea I personally would like to see.

Metalmind you are the fucking best, I can't believe you are the new Leon.

Thank you so much, I owe you some match pics or something like that. Hit me up if you ever need something photoshopped.

Also seeing just a pancake in the top 20 makes me question my sanity @hombad46

Oh wait I just noticed the best part of the x-stats

ZenOfThunder posted...
The highest nominated thing was Star Fox 64, so it is the overall one-seed


Just a Pancake was exclusively nominated three times by @hombad46 during the vote-ins so it's safe to say that is the biggest underdog
