Phaedrus is still undefeated. I had the best week I could possibly get so I am thrilled. No much else changed, but midnight Ice got on the board...

 

[Harlekin]

Phaed's also had the least matches, beside Nightwing.

Eh, I'm still pretty happy with 4th spot.

 

[POWdER-man]

He has a garranteed loss next week since two of his characters face each other...

WOW, it's hard to believe this is the last week.....

Hmm...Desak vs Mastermold and Psycho Man vs Crystal....I have a good chance in pulling out both wins...

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Um, Joseph won his fight. There was no tie, it was 5-4.

 

[Sparta*]

Man! This week kicked my ass...not having time to debate succkkkksssssss

 

[wiegeabo]

Um, Joseph won his fight. There was no tie, it was 5-4.

Powder owns them both, so he gets to choose who moves on.

 

[POWdER-man]

hmm.....I will have to see actually, I might change my decision....

 

[Phaedrus45]

I was thinking about this last week...but, next season, I was wondering if we should score a match in which two characters owned by the same person fighting each other in a given round should be scored differently. Maybe have it either go under a tie category or not count those matches. It could be unfair when someone wants to win comics, and if they happen to get a lot of matches against themselves, they lose out. Anyway, just a thought.

 

[Midnight Ice]

Just want to apologize to everyone since I wasn't able to vote/debate this week. My internet has been acting up. The cable company came to day to "fix" it, so we will see how long that lasts. Sucks too. I was looking foward to debating the matches i had this week.

 

[Midnight Ice]

Powder owns them both, so he gets to choose who moves on.

exactly. so why did shola vs sabretooth go again?

 

[POWdER-man]

when it's a tie even when both characters are own by the same character, there still has to be a victor by votes (even if that's not who moves on)

 

[Midnight Ice]

ah...gotcha

Just so you guys know, I have three more ebay auctions up. The last ones were a success so I was able to replace everything with the trades like I wanted and start on other titles I was iffy on if I could make enough money to replace. So now with many of them already replaced in trades, I can sell them and use that money toward the rest of their respective titles or others I still want. Anywho, the three lots are large, between 69 and 76 titles per lot.

One is a main X-Men lot, containing Austen's complete run on the X-Men, Claremont's new run up until just prior to House of M, and Milligan's run until prior to House of M.

The second is a big X-Men Related Lot with several X-Men related things, but the main attractions are the complete sets from District X, Nightcrawler's ongoing, and near complete runs of Rogue's ongoing and Excalibur Vol. 2, and the first two tpb's from Morrison's New X-Men run. plus more.

The third is a big Marvel lot that has a bunch of spidey's, Infinity Gauntlet 1-6, GLA 1-4, all of the Captain Universe one shots and the two Amazing Fantasy lead ins, Spiderman: Maximum Carnage tpb, Silver Surfer: Coming of Galactus tpb, and more.

Ebay's still loading them and they aren't all coming up yet, but when they do I'll give you guys a link.

Yeah I hear you there...

This has been the weirdest Winter I have EVER seen. We are almost in the middle of February and we don't have ANY snow on the ground. Which is unheard of this time of the year. Plus the month of January was about 6 degrees higher than normal and we had several rainstorms during the month...yeah you heard me RAIN....that has never happened before from where I am from...

Obviously a sign of Global Warming....

AS we speak a 10 cm storm is starting...

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Too bad I already have most of those comics.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I heard on the radio the other day that January was the second warmest January since they started recording temperatures.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

So, someone wanna answer my question? Doombots, yes or no?

 

[POWdER-man]

I haven't heard that but I would not be surprised if it was.

Man I am looking forward to my comics...

 

[POWdER-man]

So, someone wanna answer my question? Doombots, yes or no?

I think that was a no when asked by Victor in the 1st round.
