Of course, Carrion and Venom are tied again (we might have to beg Sparta to display this match-up to find out a winner)

haha no begging would be required. If it came down to another tie, I would be more then happy to let my tournament decide the outcome

As for X3, that trailer made me uber uber excited. I don't care how much screen time Halle has...if shes there, shes there....its stilll X3 people!

Man, what a lousy beginning of a day. First, a terrible nightmare wakes me at 2:15 am; then, I'm expecting the State Patrol to come by for an inspection of the office. And, now I find my Selene character is loosing in a fight where the competition didn't even bother to debate the match. Really, I wonder why I bother debating sometimes.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I hope Selene wins. Perfect foe fer my Sentinel. ;-)

 

[POWdER-man]

I am really surprised that Selene is losing. BRB was losing 5-0 at one point and 7 straight votes went the other way.

It's like a double edge sword. I have debated fiercely in a few matches and gave good points to why that character would win and I still lost. But of course you have to lose sometimes, I am still dissapointed I lost Hercules.

He wasn't even close when he lost, he got beat all the hell. Which was a shame since he had history, ability and strategy on his side. The other ones I anticipated or knew it was close.

 

[POWdER-man]

BTW what's up with the state patrol coming by your office?

BTW what's up with the state patrol coming by your office?

Since we're an impound lot, my brother wants to get on the State Patrol rotation. That means, before we're approved, we have to show that we've been doing everything exactly right. Depending on who comes, you can get a really nice cop who will understand if you're new to this and might forgive if you don't realize something is missing...or, you might get a ball-breaker. I think I'm doing everything exactly as they require...but, I'm a pessimist at heart when it comes to these types of inspections.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Now, someone might stand a chance of beating Thanos, right?

I regret not voting for Hercules.....I realized I made a mistake but it was too late to change my vote

Damn, I was going to use that as a last resort in my strategy next round.

No problem, out of all the matches his was the only one I really got confused about.

I thought that match was good for me, until the voting started coming in and I was like...wow.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Voting will end in a couple hours. I want to give a last little bit of time in hopes that JH can get in and give his votes. But, I'm thinking he'll probably be at work with his hectic schedule this week and lack of internet.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Well, I think JH would tell us to "get 'er done." So, as I think each match is pretty well decided,

Voting Has Ended!

[POWdER-man]

WOW Blaze is off to a good start. Although 3 of those wins are at the expense of me....: Sparta is still undefeated...good job. Only six out of thirteen have winning records. I am hoping to get a couple of wins this week but I will have to check to see who I have. Phaedrus and Nightwolf are still having some major losses. Hopefully most of them are the characters they got from the last draft. Nightwing is having all kind of problems, with a a good chance of getting the booby prize...

Blaze 6-0
Sparta 3-0
Victor 4-1
POWdER-man 5-4
Wiegeabo 5-4
JH 5-5
Wolves 5-5
Midnight Ice 3-3
Harlekin 4-5
Death's Head 2-3
Nightwolf 2-4
Phaedrus 2-6
Nightwing 1-7

 

[POWdER-man]

crud on a stick, I have two more matches with Blaze this week. Gilgamesh vs Thunderbird and Lady Deathstrike vs Kang...

 

[Phaedrus45]

Those two people are minus a win or loss because their characters are involved in a rematch next week.

 

[POWdER-man]

No I mean that Midnight and Death's Head are nowhere under the loss column.
By last week Death's Head had 2 losses and he had one more with Tara and Midnight Ice had one loss last week. SO I will see if they lost anymore this week.

Losses:

Nightwing = 7
Phaed = 6
Wolverine, JH, Harlekin = 5
Powderman, Wiegeabo, Nightwolf = 4
Victor = 1
Sparta, Blaze = 0

 

[Phaedrus45]

Oh, I see. Death's Head this week won 2 and lost 1. Midnight won 2 and lost 2.

Ok, I think I fixed it. My sheet of paper shows I made the change, but somehow it must have deleted by the time I pushed send.

 

[Da Docta]

Invisible Woman vs Firelord will be interesting...

 

[POWdER-man]

Ok it's been updated...

Thanks!

 

[Harlekin]

Well, I'm back after a long spot of internet trouble.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Location:

High up in the snow covered mountain tops of the Himalayas where Doctor Strange originally sought The Ancient One.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Okay guys, my internet is up and running finally so I'm back!! I wished I could have voted last week but I had to work over last Wednesday and LOST was a rerun so we didn't end up going over my mother's house,... thus I had no computer to vote on. I haven't looked over the matches yet, I'll do that soon, but I'm thinking I took some hits this week.

And Phaed, I read you PM's you sent me earlier but need to look back over them. They were good questions and I'll answer them soon enough when I have time to think on them. I'm actually about to get to bed and I may be busy all tomorrow, so it may be a day or two.

But anyhow,.. good job to you all, thanks for not breaking the internet in my absense or anything

 

[JewishHobbit]

Good news guys,.. for me anyhow. I just went to my wife's work's christmas party,... and they had a drawing and I won a prize....


A 52INCH BIG SCREAN TV!!!!!!

They deliver it tomorrow while I'm at work. It'll be here when I get home and all I'll have to do is plug it in

 

[wiegeabo]

That's awesome JH! (until you have to pay the taxes on it )

Hey, maybe you should sell it and get a slightly smaller screen, then pocket the cash. Or just pocket all that nice cash.

Or just watch a big freaking screen!

 

[Sparta*]

My parents bought a 52 inch widescreen DLP a little while back...JH, it is one of the best creations in human existance. Just wait until you play video games on there...sweet lord...or watch widescreen movies.
