You're guys are telling me that Johnny V is not winning? I don't even know where I am anymore.
You and me both..... Will Smith is great don't get me wrong and I would vote for him in 98% of circumstances, but Johnny V is an integral part of this website's lore.
I have lost faith in you guys (I hear there was some twitter bombing which also disgusts me)
FOR SHAME!!!!!!
If by twitter bombing you mean mentioning it in one tweet, then yes, there was.

Johnny V would have won. This vote was significantly skewed by the twitter post, and isn't really representative of the Giantbomb community anymore. I think it would appropriate and funny to disqualify Will.
Last time I checked it seems slightly over half the normal expected number of votes were in with Johnny V in the lead by >5%. If you assume the voting one way or the other does is independent of then you can do some relevant statistical analysis. Let the null hypothesis be that Will would have been the winner under normal circumstances. Then it might be unlikely that at the halfway point that Johnny V would be winning by 5-10% at the halfway point of say 800 votes. I estimate that not only is it unlikely but incredible unlikely. Thus strong evidence against the null hypothesis. Thus will only won because he skewed the results.
I don't know about disqualification, but we should take into consideration that not every GB user frequents the forums. I didn't even bother start reading them regularly until last year, so a lot of users might not even be aware that this is going on. Also, Jeff Green looked like a lock for the majority of his matchup with Kasavin, but look who has a significant lead now. His 5-10% lead is now a 5-10% deficit, and this shift occurred after the halfway mark of the voting time.
