Ok, it looks like it's going to be a landslide. Ring Leader and Vulture is out. Please adjust your lists, and Wiegeabo, could you take out those characters from the four lists that have been sent to you?

Thanks. I'll adjust the master lists in this thread.

 

[Iceman]

EDIT - too late

 

[wiegeabo]

I've added the lists I have to the program. I'm going to start testing it now, make sure it works as it should, and that including the 512 at the end again doesn't screw anything up.

 

[Zoken]

Um... i don't mean to be a noodge... but when do we find out who we got for our ten or so?

 

[wiegeabo]

You mean our characters? We'll find out which 30 we get once everyone gets their lists in.

 

[Zoken]

thank you!

 

[wiegeabo]

Something weird about the master list. I keep coming up with two extra characters but it looks like Vulture and Ring Leader has already been removed.

 

[wiegeabo]

Never mind, I figured it out. There was a space in Magik(Illyana) and Thunderbird III's names.

 

[Trigger]

Question: Ring-Leader and Vulture are out right, right? So when making my list I should just take them off completely?

Yep, remove them from your list.

Ok, I'm off to the Seahawks vs. NY Giants. GO HAWKS!!!

BTW, don't bother with School For Scoundrels. The funny stuff is all in the preview. The crowd only laughed a couple times, and it was mainly stuff that they showed in the preview. Now, Jackass Number 2 was the exact opposite. The crowd couldn't stop laughing. Probably the best time I've had at the theater all year.

 

[Trigger]

You watched Jackass the Movie? My respect for you fades.

Did you figure out if your program works ok if you just add all 512 to the end of your list, or shoudl we not do that?

 

[wiegeabo]

I don't know yet. I'm gaving to go through the lists now because I'm finding spelling differences that are throwing the program off.

 

[wiegeabo]

I noticed Ch'od in a couple of lists, but he's not in the Master List. I'm guessing its just a mistake with the master list so I'm going to add him.

EDIT: I can't add Ch'od to the master list because it apparently takes it to 513 characters. Not sure what to do about that.


On a side note, it doesn't look like adding the 512 at the end of your list will mess anything up. The duplicates will just get ignored.

Chod should be on there, but he has a special mark above his "O" that is screwing up your list. So, your program is picking up two different Chod's. Just change everyone's Chod to be spelled the same way.

Our fifth list was turned in the weekend by kytrigger.

 

[Darthphere]

Whens the last day to turn them in again? Ive reworked my list about 7 times already.

I believe the final day everyone can turn them in is October 5th. I guess if someone doesn't have time for a list and just wants to participate, they can just submit the list of 512, too. Although, I wouldn't recommend this method if you want to win....unless it's the booby prizes.

Anyway, the brackets are complete. Once lists are all turned in, I'll display the brackets. This season will be better than Season 1 in one regard: It will be much more competitive. We don't have so many automatic wins in Round 1. No Thanos going against Songbird. There are some matches which are one-sided...but, for the most part, a good debate can easily win most matches. I think Wiegeabo, Trigger, JH and myself did a good job of getting rid of the Uber-powerful and the really lame characters to make this much more competitive for Season 2.

 

[Trigger]

Yes, a woman's touch hath made this tourney tougher. Also, Darth don't fret too much over the list, because in the end it's still more or less random.

 

[Phaedrus45]

The following people have turned in complete lists:

Hellstormer
Kytrigger
Phaedrus45
Trigger
Wolverine25th
Zoken

I was about to make my list, but my mom's booting me from the computer. I'm officially moving in here this weekend, so I'll be back on regularly after that.

 

[Iceman]

I've done a preliminary list but I'll need to revise it....about 15 times I'll be ready in a few days

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I almost did my list but to be honest about the top 30 is good and the rest I have not paid much attention to...so I am really hoping my top pics get retainned.

Anyways, I should send it in the next couple of days.

That's cool. What you could do is just take the list, and rearrange it so sections you like more than others come before. So, if you're not a big Alpha Flight fan, but like the characters from Hulk list better, just take the entire Hulk list and make it your next section to choose from. I did that after picking names. I really didn't remember what the X-Men 2099 did; so, I pretty much took that entire list and put it near the end.
