meh everyone is taking some hits (myself included)...that's of course if you are not Blaze.....who will probably gain a couple more wins this week and is still undefeated...

Phaedrus is having troubles, Nightwing is getting massacred....JH, Wiegeabo, and harlekin are all hovering 500....everyone is going to lose a lot of characters this round and everyone's records are only going to get worse.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Yeah, but there were a couple wins I shoulda had. Well, as ya said I got Wolvie an' after writin' his adventures fer 3 years nobody's gonna beat 'im.

 

[Nightwing]

Nightwing is getting massacred....

cheers man.im still losing sleep over that you dont nned to remind me.

stop looking at me stop it just get out of my head.....
why is everyone staring at me????????

 

[POWdER-man]

sorry bro didn't mean to point it out but you have been taking some heavy losses this round. Everyone was bringing it up last round for Sparta but you are outshining him this round...:

BTW I never heard what was the prizes for Nightwolf....and whoever got the booby prize....

 

[Nightwing]

nah dont worry about it i was only joking.but seriously i only seem to be mainly losing the characters i was given this round.im sure ill do better with mine in time

Vote Nightwing.

also what are the prizes plus are we getting a DC one set up after this round?

 

[POWdER-man]

I hope not, I am still liking the tag team concept...that would be "sweet"

The person who won still has to get me his address. He's kind of in between places right now. Once I get it, I'll be grabbing the stuff from my boxes. The biggest loser was Ang...but, he never really played. So, I am going to double the boobie prize for the biggest loser of this round. I want to make sure that people who participate are the ones who get rewarded.

The good news is that the main prize is ready to go out. I made sure that it would always be ready and not stowed away when the time came to send it out.

 

[Nightwing]

cool.well im getting my arse kicked so it looks like im gonna be getting that booby prize.and ive been participating too so i should be worthy of such a prize.

hey is it an actual booby? that would be a funny thing to open in the post.

me - "Hey wife look i got me a boob"
wife - "Wow its a big a tit as you are"

i love my wife

Rub salt in my wounds why don't ya?!

 

[JewishHobbit]

Well guys, not great news. I just got a PM from Dr. Victor Lehnsherr, who's quitting the tournament. He's apologetic and explained that he's very busy and no longer has the time for the tournament. The departure is on good terms, so it's cool. I've opened an invite to him for next season.

Nonetheless, being mid season, I'm not sure what to do with his characters. I'm thinking that being that it is exactly mid-round 2,.. we could quickly divy them up before starting next week's matches. If not then, then I'd rather they just remain ownerless. What do you guys think?

Phaed, could you give us a list of his characters (and note the ones who's survived to round 3 thus far)

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Sure, yeah, let's divvy them up. More cannon fodder. BTW, these ****ing Circut City ads are really startin' to GET ON MY NERVES!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nightwolf]

Why not give them to AnnoyingSilence whos being voting every week?

 

[JewishHobbit]

Not a bad idea, I'll talk to him about it. He was asking about it a while ago, but it was too late and round 2 had already started.

Note though, he is my brother-in-law for those of you who don't know. Anyone in the DTL knows that we play and vote in these things fairly, so we don't do the favortism thing. If I decide to offer him the team, I want you guys to know before hand. I'll debate that one though. I don't know if I want to add a new player to the mix this late in the game (cause our last addition went OH so well).

 

[wiegeabo]

I say hand out the survivors in round 3 if there are enough to go around, and keep the rest ownerless this round, since they've pretty much been ownerless this round anyway.

It there's not enough to go around, then give one each to the owners with the worst records to help keep them in, or those with the best records as a reward.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Hmm, possibly. Everyone give me your opinions.

 

[POWdER-man]

Hmm this is tough.....I say let round two finish. The players left in round 3 get divided, putting priority to those who have worse records. ie. if there are 10 characters and 13 players, the three people who have the best records don't get a new character.

We all know that each of us participates and I am sure that AS would participate but it's coming into round 3 in a few weeks....we are pretty advanced in this tournament already, so I don't know if we should add anyone else at this point...besides, these rounds will take less and less time each time so season 2 will be coming up in a couple months.

I hope for season 2 that we do some recruiting and get some new players in the mix.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Yeah...Either give them straight up to Annoying Silence (he has shown that he will vote each week) or wait until Round 3 is my opinion. Him being your Bro-in-law really effect me in any way. (Unless, you to have to go up against each other, and years down the road you point to a battle between two characters being the rift in your relationship. "He killed my New Son! I'll never forgive him!!!!" ha ha)

Of course, any characters that are facing Blaze in this round, go ahead and give them to Powder. I think he feels like he doesn't get to debate him enough.

 

[POWdER-man]

Hardy har har...

That's ALL I need...to get my ass served to me some more....

Woohoo 0-5 baby...........

 

[Nightwing]

id say leave em ownerless for now.and then divvy them or give em to AS.dont divvy them just yet.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Next time I join one of these things I'm gonna make sure I get some big bads on my list.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Wolverine...I take it you are going to have Venom advance from the previous round? Or, if you want Carrion, just let me know to adjust the bracket.

I am going to allow Holocaust to advance. I think he'll have a better chance of taking out Aurora, anyway.

Also, as I did for Round 1 with Ang and others, I'm going to keep Victor's characters listed under his name unless a different decision is decided upon by JH for giving away his characters.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I haven't decided yet. Actually forgot about it. I'll get back to ya.

 

[POWdER-man]

Yeah I am going to have to decide between Electro and Sandman.....I still don't know who would be better in the tournament....
