It's that hobbity goodness oozing out again, I apologize.

Congrats JH

 

[Sparta*]

Jeez, I LIVE on this weeks battlefield, and I still couldn't pull out a win

 

[King_Mungi]

The voters are wacky, I think even the one scan you posted went against the second arguement for Mandarin. Like seriously several people voted for Exiles Sabertooth against Vindicator....like what?

 

[wiegeabo]

Some people just vote on who they like, or whatever reason they want. You don't have to use the writeups. Their just a guide and an attempt to sway votes.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Sabretooth was bred in th' AoA. He's decisively a lot more battle-tested an' a li'l smarter than our Sabretooth. He was also Apocalypse's horseman. Good credentials there.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I don't think he was ever a horseman, but he was in line to become one if he didn't go hero (that is, if I'm remembering that right).

He was in the running to be a Horseman at the start of AoA, but then Wolverine beat him. Honestly there is nothing Sabz could do to him, Wolverine's claws couldn't get through Mac's shield, so how would Sab claws fair?

 

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, everything is up and running now correctly. I want to give some props to my bud, Powderman. He was so kind to set me up with my very first avatar. In fact, he didn't make just one for me, he made 5! Now, I can't wait to reach my 5000 post, just so I can be in the big time like so many of you others.

 

[POWdER-man]

I see, I see, good to see it's finally working....

Let me know if you want a marvel character avatar, I have been playing with different designs and styles....

 

[Phaedrus45]

It's just too hard for me to think of a character that I'm hooked on. When my friends think of me, they think Seahawks and Prince. There isn't just one character I love above all others that come to mind right away.

Anyway, excellent week of voting. I'm excited with the new people getting involved we'll get some new blood in this thing next Contest. Plus, I'm getting ideas for Sparta's thread when it's my week to help out. (Oh, and feel free to put up that battle, Powder. I've got some other ideas that I can easily do.)

[JewishHobbit]

Shameless Plug number 3 or 4 or however many times I've done this. I have five more auctions up now that includes some good stuff. Included are Wolverine issues 12-32 (Return of the Native, Enemy of the State, Agent of Shield), Exiles 1-68 (everything up until House of M), X-treme X-Men 1-36 (entire run including Mekanix mini and X-pose mini), Cable and Deadpool 1-24 save 17 (house of m tie in, already sold it), and X-Force 116-129 (milligan's x-force). Feel free to check them out, and if they aren't all showing up, just give them a few minutes. They may still be posting.

Yeah I will work on something when I got some free time...

 

[Nightwolf]

Hey guys, sorry i havent been around recently, ive been really busy and my computer broke so i cant get on the internet. I may have to drop out of the contest.

 

[POWdER-man]

I have been wondering where you have been....

Well hopefully you get it straightened out.... maybe for next season we should arrange that everyone have an alternate (temporary) fill in if they know they will be away for a week or two (for whatever reason). Someone they know on the hype that could debate their matchups for that week, so they won't be penalized for not being able to put up a debate.

Speaking of which, Nightwing hasn't been back yet. I hate to see his reaction to Jugs biting the dust.....

Ok, I think it's official. Wolverine needs to change his name to "Mr. 500."

 

[JewishHobbit]

Alright, I was in the process of updating the brackets when I realized we are now at the point in the game where we can combine all those who've made it this far into one bracket. So I've now created a final bracket, give it a look over. If anyone wants to see the older brackets to see a character's journey thus far, I have them completed and saved. Just ask.
