OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I got Adam Worlock.....cool

now can i ask is this the version with the Infinity Gaunlet?

 

[Harlekin]

Of course not. He would win this thing single-handidly. We might as well give Thanos the Gauntlet and Heart of the Universe.

 

[Nightwing]

so is it the version with the soul gem?

 

[Harlekin]

That however, I am not certain of. Possibly.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

so is it the version with the soul gem?

I don't see why it wouldn't be.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I believe that we had earlier decided that all gems were in use, save Thanos'

 

[Nightwing]

so is there a decent bio kickin around that shows the full extent of all these gems and his powers to boot?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I was just about to write my debate for my two tied matches for Sparta,... but I don't know what the location is. Hey LOCATION MAN!!! Are we still going to use Empire State University or someplace new?

 

[POWdER-man]

Yeah, use the empire state location. Since there are no other matches that should be fine....

 

[JewishHobbit]

Man, I was just going through the tournament brackets and realized that Bracket 7 has potential to have a final battle of Shadow King Vs Juggernaut,... now that's a toughie. Why? Because Juggernaut can't physically hit Shadow King, and Shadow King can't mentally do a thing to Juggernaut,... and neither can change their status in any way to change that. There's no possible way either of them could win. I guess Shadow King can wait until Juggy falls asleep,.. but that's about it!

[Nightwing]

I forgot to do this earlier, but here is this round's questions for the awards. I have decided to "nominate" certain people and categories instead of leaving it open because some people people were confused in what to vote for. If you feel strongly that should be changed just post the suggestion and I will consider it as an option. I will leave the voting until Friday afternoon sometime. Make sure you get the votes into me by then. Thanks!

1. The best match - this category is for the match you felt to be best there is and was in the second round. Whether you felt it was an excellent matchup between two even foes, a hard and gruling fought debate between two masterminds, or a surprising turnaround strategy that changed your initial view of the outcome of the match, or possibly a combination of these options.

Nova vs Mimic
Kulan Gath vs Nathaniel Richards
Lifeguard vs Wolverine
Kid Omega vs Blackbolt
Constrictor vs Strong Guy
Jack of Heart's vs Blink


2.The best debater - this category is for the individual who you felt consistently came up with great strategies in each matchup and the one who made you change your mind because of their debating skills.

Phaedrus - definitely a tough debater and knowledgeable. I have had the pleasure of facing him twice (technically 3 times but that one match wasn't fair), and each time was exhausting.

Blaze - I should know more than anyone that the DTL boss is a tough person to go up against. Very knowledgeable and to the point in his debates.

Jewish Hobbit - He seems to always come up with the best strategies. Great debater, articulate, knowledgeable and cunning in the way he puts his debates together.

Wiegeabo - even when there's no hope, there's still hope. He has brought many matches as far they can go and then some. Consistently good strategies which have either changed my mind or came close to doing so.

Harlekin - Knowledgable and fiercely competitive. You know you will have to come up with a good strategy when you have to face him.

Wolves - Definitely fiercely competitive. Worked hard on his debates and gave a few a run for their money.

Sparta* - he always seems to bring up good points. Knowledgeable, and well versatile with his strategies.

Midnight Ice - was absent a lot but gave some good points when he was here. Knowledgeable and tough debater when he was available.

Nightwing - fought hard for a lot of his matches but unfortunately fell short with a lot of them. It still doesn't derail the fact that he worked hard on his debates. The Rhino vs Gauntlet matchup is enough to acknowledge him

Nightwolf - was absent a bit but still gave good points and arguments. There was a reason he went 18-2 the 1st round.

Death's Head - yeah well you know you haven't been here much at all.

POWdER-man - he sucks...

3.The most sportsmanlike - this category is for the individual who you felt delt the cards there were given and still came out with a smile on the other end.

Midnight Ice
Phaedrus
Harlekin
Wolverine25
Nightwing
Nightwolf

5. The biggest upset - this category is for the matchup that you were completely shocked by the outcome.

Scarlet Witch vs Maestro
Seina Blaze vs Magneto
Shadowking vs thing
Xorn vs Gladiator
Iron Man vs Terrax
Franklin Richards vs Nightwatch

6. The most one-sided match - this category is for those powerful cosmic type characters who end up going up against the weakest of weak characters that never stood a chance from the moment they were paired.

Cassandra Nova vs Reaper
Molecule Man vs Sunfire
Thanos vs Songbird
Deadpool vs Silver Surfer

Man Thing's swamp
Mount St Helen

10. The toughest decision - Evenly Matched - which matchup made you think so hard your brain exploded and left nothing more than a bloody stump at a computer desk.....or at least made your head hurt...

Strong Guy vs Constrictor
Mach IV vs Multiple Man
Venom vs Carrion
Speedball vs Nighthawk
Guardian vs Abyss
Fandral vs Dormammu
Malice vs Gorgon
Diamond Lil vs Juggernaut
Xorn vs Gladiator



11. The funniest remark or strategy - pretty much self explanatory...what comment made you laugh the hardest through the first round......

1. Nova rhymes with Kournikova, and nobody wants to vote... wait, crap, let me try this again:
NOVA IS A DIRTY COMMIE!
by Harlekin

2. Come on people,.. let's think of this logically. Mimic rymes with Gimick, which starts with the same first letter as Git'R'Done, which starts with Git, which rymes with Hit, and it has a middle of R, which in that context rymes with 'ler,. and you put those two together it makes Hitler,.... and come on, no one wants to vote for Hitler.

3.STILT MAN'S TAKEN OUT SPIDEY!!!!
by JH

4.Dammit! Powder, if I knew Shadowcat and Dazzler was fighting, I would have told you to make the location of the match-up in a pool of pudding with nothing but swimsuits on!!!
by Phaedrus

5.Ok JH, I was thinking about this matchup and I was going to write up this extensive plan to seduce Thunderbird and bring him to the prison where Thunderbird will play the evil warden and Shanna will play his naughty inmate. Then she will go Basic Instinct on his ass...
by PM

6.Oh my god! They killed Jewish Hobbit! You bastards!
by Wolves

7. All I have to say is Flatman....

Yeah it was good, but like I said I had to sift through several weeks of debates so I am going to miss some matches....I will add it.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Heh much obliged.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Wait, I have Magnus? Since when? An' didn't I beat JH with Gateway? Powder, m'man, I think you need to recheck th' owners in yer list there.

 

[POWdER-man]

Woops that was supposed to be Midnight ice...

I might have made some mistakes....so correct me if I am wrong...

 

[Sparta*]

Happens to the best of us POWdER-man

 

[POWdER-man]

Wow Wieg and JH have 5 matches this week....the best part of that is that is about half of their characters in the 1st week so they will be mostly done.

Of course there is only like 4 weeks this round isn't there? I imagine we all will have big weeks....

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Pssst...I have Gateway an' Siena Blaze, so I got 4 matches. Yeesh!

 

[POWdER-man]

Awwww......crap....

I wrote it on a note but I guess I must have mixed everything up...so don't expect that list to be right...

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Man, now I got a lotta BSin' to do. Crap.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Finally back at work. I'm just waiting for the outcomes of the final two matches for Round 2 to be decided; so, I can post the new brackets. My question is when we are advancing with Round 3. I figured we can't do much until those two matches are taken care of.
