[If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

Well, Recoil came roaring up out of nowhere, coming within two points of pipping Danny and Taylor at the post. But it didn't, so the sequence will probably be Recoil, Slippery Slope, Meet the Heberts, then maybe Confrontation II.

Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

Note also that the vote counting script given to me by Throne3d was of huge assistance.

Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. The voting code will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.
6) If you vote for a story that is not on the voting list, those point(s) will go to the story that got the least number of vote points that round.

Vote format looks like this:

[X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.

Thank you.

Well, Recoil came roaring up out of nowhere, coming within two points of pipping Danny and Taylor at the post. But it didn't, so the sequence will probably be Recoil, Slippery Slope, Meet the Heberts, then maybe Confrontation II.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, that was pretty impressive. Recoil seriously poured on the speed last round: a whopping 209 votes earned in a single cycle, shattering the previous record of 194 -- which was also Recoil, incidentally. That one story has, at this point, the most total votes accrued since the beginning of the voting system: 10,782, more than a thousand beyond the next highest story.

As for the upcoming stories, well...

Recoil and Slippery Slope are almost certainly going to win Votes 95 and 96, by about 70 votes and 80 votes respectively. Not much can change that at this point. Meet the Heberts, however, is only holding onto Vote 97 by its fingernails: Security! is projected to only be a single vote behind it, and could potentially overtake it if voting shifts. Failing that, it will secure Vote 98 by a margin in the 30s.

Votes 99, 100 and 101 are also pretty locked-down by this point: 99 goes to I, Panacea by 100+ votes, 100 to Confrontation II with a margin in the 70s, and 101 to Wyvern by a whopping 300 votes.

After that, things get a little less concrete. Alea Iacta Est is projected to win Vote 102 by 54 votes, but this far out that could easily change. Same could be said of Trump Card winning Vote 103 with a margin in the upper 40s, or One More Trigger winning Vote 104 by 50+. Still, those are some of the most popular stories, so they're probably not going to get overtaken easily.

After Round 104, stories close to winning will be Junior Hero, Recoil again and War Games with 1,400+, Hostage Situation with 1,300+, Nemesis with about 1,200 and Bait & Switch just over 1,000.


Accuracy in Vote 94 was 96.33% overall, with an average difference of 17 votes. Most accurate proportionally was Slippery Slope at 99.84%, while most accurate in raw vote count was a split between that and Meet the Heberts -- both stories were only 2 votes off prediction. Least accurate proportionally was Really Bad End, which came in at only 82.35% of expected votes, while least accurate in raw count was, of course, Recoil, 55 votes ahead of predictions.



And then there's my vote:
[X] Meet the Heberts - 6
[X] NSW - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] War Games - 3
[X] One More Trigger - 2
[X] Recoil - 1
