I'm inclined to agree with Norinel, but it should be pretty easy to lay to rest with a game analysis (just not right now for me, too stupid-busy).

It seems like there's a logarithmic function going on here, because the probability starts low and then scales upward sharply around page 3-4 for GD, maybe slightly later for MD. It never quite gets to 1, but it approaches it by page 7 or 8 pretty closely.

Unfortunately I've forgotten enough math to not be able to pull an example function up...

I can't believe you'd be so bold. Die scum!

Actually, I'm not at all surprised that it goes in phases - voting in non-game threads is primarily a social activity, and seeing it done in one thread will make other players more likely to do so elsewhere as they realize it's "acceptable" fun to be had here.

If you're worried about the size of your graph, you should be able to grab a corner of it and resize it down (about 2/3 the size should be good). Excellent deduction work though!
