ok, if nobody objects i am going to combine two of the people who are getting a bye to fight each other, because it's kind of lame to have 3 byes. Either privatejoker, alreturns or limesparks will have a bye based on random ordering.

[censored], a bunch of us are going to a movie that starts at 10:30 - assuming I get back at 12:30 is voting going to be over? Otherwise I'm down a bunch of moviegoers' votes :/. How am I supposed to enjoy american gangster, I'm going to be so anxious imo

[BowToYourSensei]

gildwulf, please clarify because i don't think this was addressed yet.

24-16 or 24-12?

and if 24-16, how will the other 4 be determined?

love,
BTYS

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- alreturns and limesparks are two of the other HUGE favorites in this competition. Seriously, I would have spent more time on mine if I knew I was going up against one of them.

No offense at all to piebear, who I've since come to realize is very very funny/capable, but I based my effort (and saved some bullets for later) on the fact that my work was going against piebear specifically, thinking that in future rounds (if I was lucky enough to get there) I could pull out the big guns against AL returns, etc.

I don't want to be a nit, Gild, and do what you gotta do, but I'm just voicing my objection to suddenly having a new opponent 5 minutes before the deadline.

Unfortunately I don't have much of a solution, other than to just publish ALL the entries you've gotten, ask the voters to select like their 8 favorites, and then put forward the top 12/16/whatever vote-getters to the next round.

EDIT: No, that idea sucks too. Wow, I don't know how to solve the problem of the missing opponents. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

How many more people have to submit? Are you going to wait until the deadline to post them or just go ahead and post if they are all in? Is the deadline at 11 or 12? Why do you play minbet?
