Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

My main issue with all Coil is that before we meet him, he's arguably the most competent villain there. All had leverage on the E88 and managed to control a fairly large part of the underworld without being thought of as a threat. As soon as Taylor shows up, the idiot ball gets handed to him...

Accuracy
So for my predictions I was off by 129 votes out of 1,329 so I was 12.72% off in total. (88.28% accuracy overall). Averaging the individual accuracies (of predicted gains) gives 84.17% accuracy, which tells me some stories were outliers in terms of how badly...
Just added it to mine. And it looks like last vote we had 64 voters and the spreadsheet is predicting a new voter each round.
Here's (interactive chart in link) what my spreadsheet is doing for predicting vote gains:
The straight lines are where I'm predicting the votes, which should model...
I've redone the calculations for my spreadsheet.
New accuracy numbers for the prediction of last vote:
Most: 99.75% (Bait & Switch)
Average: 98.14%
Least: 89.51% (NSW)
Total Votes Off: 173 (down from 256)
But here's a problem measuring accuracy by the predicted total rather than the...
Dammit. 3 AM. Anyway, have my own version of Jim Starluck's spreadsheet.
Due to recent trends in the stock exchange, the gains of some stories are substantially inaccurate. Mainly for those stories which have been available for voting for a long time.
So tomorrow, I'll check to see if...
You could also try a regression equation, which should get more accurate the more data points you have. Basically it predicts what the value should be, if the trend in voting remains.
I've gone ahead and done it for the currently active stories testing the results for predicting the results of...
[X] Security - 6
[X] Recoil - 5
[X] I, Panacea - 4
[X] Hostage Situation - 3
[X] All Alone - 2
[X] MirrorVerse - 1
The top three are there because I love them and they're relatively closer to finishing up and opening up Another Way. Or a slot for it eventually. Hostage Situation because Marquis.

I'm actually currently doing something for two ASOIAF quests I'm running. Granted, there's more obvious reasons as to why Rhaegar Targaryen and Gregor Clegane would be at cross purposes, but that is complicated when its SIs don't have as much reason to be limited by IC constraints as SIs already...
