Why are there ??? next to Adam Warlock? Hasn't his oppenent been chosen?

Anyways, you picked up Quasar from Victor when he withdrew. He is currently facing Drax which ended up a tie in the tournament. So we put it in Sparta's tournament thread to be decided. He is currently leading 12-7 or something like that.

The winner between Drax and Quasar will be facing Adam Warlock. We still don't know yet who has won until later tonight.

 

[POWdER-man]

If you haven't seen it yet Quasar won over drax so the updated standings are as follows:

Wolverine 2-0
Nightwolf 1-0
Sparta* 1-0
Death'shead 1-0
Phaedrus 3-1
Harlekin 3-3
*Blaze 2-3
POWdER 2-4
Wiegeabo 1-3

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, I've finished my morning chores. Matches to be posted soon.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, matches are posted and ready to debate. Two matches are open for anyone to debate: High Evolutionary vs. Black Bolt in Thread 1 and Nimrod vs. Dr. Strange in Thread 3.

Have fun ... keep it as polite as possible. The winners get to claim the champion of each Bracket of 64. We've come a long way since JH began this last June.

 

[Harlekin]

Nimrod and Strange are still my characters, and therefore I get to choose who advances anyway, right?

 

[Phaedrus45]

Nimrod and Strange are still my characters, and therefore I get to choose who advances anyway, right?

Yes, this season, that is your option. (We have to re-evaluate if we thought that was a good or bad idea next season.)

 

[wiegeabo]

Yes. But we can still debate to try and influence your decision.

 

[Da Docta]

Umm... somebody might want to tell Quentin Black about voting

 

[Phaedrus45]

In honor of those who lasted this long, I thought I'd post some pictures. If anyone has favorite issues or anything else about any of the characters, feel free. I'm going to start by showing first appearance issues:

Thanos:

VS.

Spider-Girl:

High Evolutionary:

Black Bolt:

 

[Phaedrus45]

Loki:

We should probably have a note when each matchup is posted stating the rules about debating, how long it will go on, and when voting opens. And the rules about voting.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Quasar:



vs.

Adam Warlock:

 

[Harlekin]

Yes, this season, that is your option. (We have to re-evaluate if we thought that was a good or bad idea next season.)

Okay. Because I think we can all figure out who I'm going to let advance in the Nimrod/Strange match-up.

 

[wiegeabo]

Good. Because Nimrod's such a badass!

 

[Phaedrus45]

OHHHHH FARMER BROWN WHO HAD A DOG, AND LOCATION WAS HIS NAME-O. L-O-C-A-T-I-O-N, L-O-C-A-T-I-O-N AND LOCATION WAS HIS NAME-O

This week's matches will be held in Transylvania in Castle Dracula.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Well, I like to amuse myself; so, here is some more items that interest me of these final 16.

First, Thanos. When I think of Thanos, I think of the one character that screwed me over by getting me back into comics. I had quite collecting and reading for about 4 years. Then, I decided to get a just around 5 books...one of those was this:

Of course, once I started reading, I discovered I had to pick up all the tie-ins, plus all those back issues of Silver Surfer. And, the Thanos 2 part series. After that, I became hooked easily on more than just 5 comics. It just grew and grew, and by the end of the year, I was getting all Marvel comics that came out, and it hasn't stopped since then.

We should probably have a note when each matchup is posted stating the rules about debating, how long it will go on, and when voting opens. And the rules about voting.

I was thinking the same thing. As we've seen Quentin voted before the debates even started. With so much at stake I think there should be a note in each of the threads when the voting is started that they read the debates before voting, and so on....

 

[POWdER-man]

Man this wasn't an easy find.
