All right, prediction for Votes 71 and 72 corrected. Thanks again, ViperhawkZ.

You know that Thinkers trip one another up, right?
By posting those predictions you urge people to break them.

Then I shall instead take pride that voters now know when and where their votes can do the most damage.

It won't be next round -- AIE is way ahead of its competitors -- but there are a few potential upsets in Votes 64 and 65. NSW will only trail War Games by 26 votes in 64, and Wyvern by only 7 votes in 65. If it doesn't cut ahead of those two, however, it won't stand much of a chance against Recoil in Vote 66 -- that story's gaining votes more than twice as fast.

As I've cautioned before, though, all these predictions assume that voting behavior doesn't change too much from what it's been the last few rounds, and that's almost certain to happen. It'll get more accurate as I average more and more rounds in and long-term trends settle down, but predictions more than a few rounds out will be progressively less and less accurate. It's part of why I only bother with the next 10 rounds to begin with; even that is probably pushing it.

Yes, that's right folks, you have seeing_octarine to thank for this photo-finish upset! Alea Iacta Est comes in 17 votes slow, while I, Panacea picks up an extra 10 votes, giving it just enough lead to eke out the win! AIE is still close behind, however, and a shoe-in to win the next vote in the upper-800s, breaking the 800-vote threshold for the first time!

Trailing AIE by a wide margin is fellow newcomer War Games, which looks likely to win Vote 64 in the low 700s. After that it's everyone's favorite dragon, Wyvern, rocketing back to the top to win Vote 65 in the mid-700s, still earning more votes a round than anything else in Ack's lineup!

Then in Vote 66 it's a blast into the past as Recoil becomes the next story to hit the 800-vote mark by a wide margin, followed closely by sexy shenanigans as NSW hits the 800s as well! Not to be out-done, Security! aims to brush with the 900-vote mark in Vote 68, coming in less than 20 votes shy of the threshold!

Coming around for another lap is Trump Card in Vote 69, coming even closer to the 900 mark but still not quite hitting it. The next winner will, though -- new player All Alone, scoring its first vote win since joining the ranks! Following that we have Alea Iacta Est joining the 900 club as it wins Vote 71, and then Wyvern looks to shatter records in Vote 72 as it passes not only 1,000 votes, but also 1,100 in one fell swoop! Don't despair, fans of family fun, as it'll be my own, personal favorite, Meet the Heberts likely to win its own first round in Vote 73!

All this, and more, brought to you from Ack's Voting Thread Tracking Spreadsheet!

Damnit! *tares up his OTB bet slip, quickly goes and buys a slip for race 64, betting on Alea Iacta Est to win.*

Seriously though, this read like a horse race announcer.:D

One slight modification... but now it means all I need to do to change votes is Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V... XD
And all those who said there was one problem, I didn't vote for ___, well, my format is the top 3 are 'locked' in... not changing those unless the story's no longer one of the ones I want most, with the bottom three going through a rotation of 'this story has just been voted in/Will be voted in this round... move on to the next one I feel like...

And damnit, just realised I missed one of the stories I'm interested in... ah well, it's on the list now :p

I'll spend the time outlining the smutty bits if someone's actually gonna write it. Yes, this is a bribe to help me get more support in convincing Ack to do at least a one-shot of it.

Yes, I put the 4 vote there to screw with jim. On the one hand, he wants it updated, on the other it will screw with his predictions.

Can I just ask why a bunch of people keep liking my 'Voting List'?

Didn't really think it was anything special, and I'm curious why people are liking it...
