Nightwing, I'm just glad you got Adam Warlock in the giveaway of Victor's characters.

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know the status of things on my end. This week has been crazy. My second job, Mervyn's, has decided to close all their stores in the Northwest, and that includes the store I work for. Luckily, my store is going to stay open until around January 2007; so, I can stay there for a good year. (The good thing is I don't need the job; they have come to me five times to be a manager for them...the last time, which was a month ago, they agreed to the price I was demanding; but, something felt bad about it. Now, I am glad I had that feeling. I'd be screwed if I left my first job.)

Also, I've been in talks off and on with my attorney all this week; as, this morning we had a settlement hearing with my ex. Plus, with my long hours at both jobs, I haven't gotten any comics out to the winners (or loser, if you like). I have a rare Saturday off; so, I'm hoping to get them out on that day.

I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting, but I promise they will get out. I still haven't thought about what to do with the remaining rounds. They are so short and quick, that I'm not sure if I'm going to give loser/winner prizes, except for the grand prize that is all ready to be shipped out as soon as we finish this contest.

Phaed

P.S. I don't ever tell what someone is getting, except for the grand prize. What I do allow is for the winner to tell me what company they prefer, i.e. Marvel, DC or Independant.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't play fer th' comics. I probably woulda gotten one I already had an' have as much trouble unloadin' it like all my other duplicates. Thus is th' curse with closin' in on 10,000 comics.

Let me know if you need help brotha....

 

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, I've thought it over and come up with a solution:

As the next few weeks will be flying by, we won't be having a best/worst record winner for the upcoming rounds. (We'll still keep track for fun, though.) Instead, I'm going to give away comics to the person who comes in second. So, two prizes. The big winner will get the main prize and the second prize winner will also get some comics by mail....just not comics as good as the big prize.

 

[Nightwing]

so what about the so far prizes?????are they still happening?

(Do i get my loser prize?)

Of course you are. Like I said, this is for upcoming rounds. I decided to give out comics for the first two rounds, because they were so long. Kind of a motivational thing. But, now these rounds will be flying by...I think Round 3 is only 4 weeks, right? So, since a regular prize is roughly 25 comics, I want to make sure that for future contests we have stuff to go around without breaking my supply of excess comics I have laying around.

What's the location this week, or did I miss it?

 

[Phaedrus45]

What's the location this week, or did I miss it?

I'm sure Powder will get it up by the end of the day. Otherwise, I'll pop on tomorrow and post something.

 

[POWdER-man]

You want the location.......YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE LOCATION.

This weeks matches are held at the Secret Wars' Battleworld. This is an alien planet used during this famous crossover, between several superheroes and supervillains.

This planet was created by the Beyonder in a distant galaxy and stocked with alien weapons and technology.

[Phaedrus45]

Congrats, buddy!

I've got some way to go before I reach that....but, this contest is sure helping with my count getting higher and higher every month.

 

[POWdER-man]

It certainly does(you'll get there quickly enough), and thanks....now time to change my avatar....

You're right! I can't handle the location!

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Congrats on 5,000.

 

[Phaedrus45]

It's official! Comics just went out today. Midnight Ice, I sent yours Priority Mail...I figure it should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. Nightwing, let me just say that you are hella expensive!!! I had a choice between 32.00 for a process that would take 4-6 weeks or 46.00 for around 8-12 days. I felt generous and you should have yours arrive in a week or two. Also, I filled about half of your request. You have 22 Spawn books, 2 Spawn related, and the rest is pretty much Marvel.

Enjoy your comics, guys.

Phaed

 

[Nightwing]

Wow That is expensive. Man you shouldve said and i wouldve put some money towards it. i mean wat gain do you get from just throwing money away on some guy you dont even know?

man thanks and i appreciate it.....

And id like to thank myself and my family for believing that i could be the biggest loser. It *sniff* i...words cant describe how lucky i feel right now. Im just so happy i wasnt born with talent genes. Thanks to my parents for bringing me up a dunce and thanks to all those who picked on me at school preventing me from learning and bringing my self confidence down. without you id actually be something....


Nah seriously though man thanks....

And i will enjoy em...ill look after em.i do with all my comics.

That's all I want is for someone to enjoy what they get. It's really no problem for me to ship them out. Poor JH is still waiting for some comics that I've promised him...they are just so buried that I have to plan a day just to get to them. (I'm not kidding. I must have 70-80 long comic boxes worth of books around the house. They are just stacked up. I wish I had a comic room.)

 

[POWdER-man]

Holly crap Phaedrus, you're one generous guy.....

 

[Sparta*]

Wow, good job Phaedrus

Here are the final results to the awards. There were a couple close standings but there were no ties this time around.



1. The best match - Kid Omega vs Blackbolt With 4 Votes

2.The best debater - Wiegeabo With 3 votes

3.Most Sportsmanlike - Jewish Hobbit With 3 votes

4.The best strategy - Iron Man vs Terrax With 5 Votes

9 The worst location - Hades With 4 votes

10. The toughest decision - Strong Guy vs Constrictor With 6 votes

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

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.
