Official Contest of Marvels II Discussion Thread

[Iceman]

I'm getting nervous now. Paibok is going into hiding until prep time begins.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Hey now, Paibok is stylin'. Did you read the Drax mini? He wore a nice little suit. Looked like a green Denzel Washington he did.

 

[Iceman]

He now lives in fear of Ch'od's space breathing attack.

 

[Harlekin]

Poccy, friggin' Poccy? I hate Poccy . He's powerful enough though.

Ah, the dreams of youth. I thought it would have been a nice dream just hoping he could get to Round 2. Now, I just see the psychiatrist across from you asking, "So, when did you realize you lost touch with reality?"

That would be when he first thought that Moonknight could beat Genis-vell

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Not that I am complaining but I am listed a owning Sonia Blaze in the list and yet I have no recollection of her...

It was part of the reallocation of WOLVERINE25th's characters (a couple of pages back).

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I actually I went back and checked and Seina Blaze lost to Professor X 10-1 so it is Prof X against Psylocke and not Blaze against Psylocke.

The List was as follows:

Ahura Mazda = Sonia Blaze

Wiegeabo = Helix

Iceman/Psylocke = Paibok The Power Skrull

Hippy = Fixer

Therefore given the list and that there is no Blaze, I imagine that I get Helix, Weigabo gets Paibok, I/P gets Fixer and Hippy gets no one.

 

[Hellstormer]

He now lives in fear of Ch'od's space breathing attack.

(gansta voice) For shizzle yo!

That would be when he first thought that Moonknight could beat Genis-vell

I'm so gonna beat him, I'm pulling out all the stops.

 

[Hellstormer]

Hey now! Chod's awsome. He like, hits stuff. And doesn't he have some kind of little pea shooter? What shouts awsome more than a pea shooter?!

Yea it shot through a couple Shi'Ar guards and don't forget the little weird mouse thing.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Oops.

I changed the brackets. I put the wrong numbers on my brackets. Anyway, I'll do you one better, Ahura. PM me your address and I'll send you some comics for getting screwed out of an extra character. Will that be alright by you?

 

[Phaedrus45]

That also means that DarkHellRider and Zoken tied for last place. Zoken, PM me your address, too, and I'll send DHR and you both a booby-prize.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Did someone else keep track of brackets? Since one mistake was found, if they could go through the new brackets and make sure I didn't invert the numbers on anyone else, it would be appreciated.

Actually I thought I would get the next person down the line's character and it would be Hippy at the end of the day who would lose out.

But in any case, I have no issues with it.

Given the circumstances, i would rather you send the comic to Kytrigger becaus he defintely deserves something for his performance this round. more then me who just went to look out of my own self interest.

 

[Darren Daring]

You fool! Take the books!

 

[wiegeabo]

No! Have the books sent to me! t:

That's all well and good. But, I really did do you wrong, and I want to make up for that mistake. Please, just PM me your address. If you don't, the only way around it would be to give Hippy's character to you and Hippy would receive the free books.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, someone explain something to me. I'm kind of on a slight diet. Since I sit around all day at this computer at work, I don't get the best exercise. So, I decided to quit going to McDonald's or other fast food places during the week, eat less, and quit on desert items, like Candy Bars and cake. (I'm not overweight too much...just noticed I was starting to get a belly on me.) So, since I see chocolate and get hungry, I went to Costco and got a tub of Red Vines for work. They are supposedly "Fat Free." What does that mean diet-wise? Can I eat a few everyday and figure it would take care of my sweet-craving, or do they pretty much go straight to the gut, also?

Well, it really depends. Just becauze they are fat-free doesn't mean they still won't hurt you weight wise. Another important thing to look at is the sugars. If it has a lot of sugar, that can store up and become fat. While I am guessing they aren't nearly as bad for you as Mcdonalds, they aren't the best either probably, but it's still a step up. They shouldn't really harm you too much if you can make sure you don'e eat too many of them. Also, try and make sure you don't eat them (or anything with a lot of carbs) really late in the day for your last meal. If you're just trying to lose a little bit of weight, you will probably be fine with them. If you decide you want ot lose more though, then you might need to cut back on them.

Also, make sure you eat plenty of meals in the day. Five smaller meals is much better for you than one or two larger meals. This should also help you increase your metabolism, and make it so your body doesn't store any unneeded fats.

Other than that, I would suggest going to the official Hype fitness thread in Community. I know a little bit about this stuff, but some of the posters there would definately know a lot more than me on the subject. t:

 

[wiegeabo]

They may be fat-free, but they're mostly sugar. Which means that, not only could you go through sugar highs and lows, if you're body doesn't burn it, it will convert it to fat.


Cutting out the fast foods will really make a difference. I haven't gone to places like McDonalds and Burger King in around four years. And I don't miss them. Now just the though of eating there...bleh.

Thanks for the thought, but I'm good. I'm not really in this competition for the comics anyway (I actually don't even collect comics, I just read trades ). I'm just here because it sounded like fun, and it definately has been. Thanks for the thought though.

I have sent you my address and I appreciate the thought but either way I am happpy just having fun contesting the characters I have.

I at least have 1 easy match ahead of me and quite a few intersting debates I beleive.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm playing for the comics baby!!! All of them!! Give them to me!!!!

 

[Zoken]

you know I find it Ironic that I got Wolverine the most flouted character out there, and I have to put him up against a herald of Galactus the first round I have him.
