The Official Contest of Marvels 3 Discussion Thread

[JewishHobbit]

Man... busy busy busy. Finally got my opening debates up.

 

[POWdER-man]

I will get the rest of my debates up tonight. I was away this weekend and debating didn't start until Saturday.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Ok, finally got all my debates up. I think I had 8 matches this week, which is waaay too many. I'm not going too in depth, because I simply don't have the time to do that with all those matches. Since summer has hit, I have a kid at work with me every day, and they want the computer as much as I do.

Plus, it's Big Brother season 11!!!! I have my live feeds, my Showtime 2 After Dark, and the main show. This looks like a good one; but, GOD, I hate the Jessie came back. I have some definite favorites, and people I can't stand already. Tonight's episode should be good...but, I'm really waiting for Thursday's; so, I can see the big fight that broke out after stuff they'll show tonight.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I got the life feeds a few seasons back and feel like it ruins parts of the show. There's no suspense in the weekly episodes so I chose not to do it again.

And yeah, I wasn't the biggest fan of Jessie coming back, though I've liked him so far this season for what little we've seen. He seems to really be playing this time around. Me, I was rooting for Brian to get back in. He only lasted 1 week but I could tell he would have been good. I think this time around he would have rocked it.

So far I like the nerdy group, specifically the two white people (not a racist slur, but easiest way to describe them. I don't know their names yet). I also like the tatoo chick.

It is nice to be surprised...but, my sis-in-law would just ruin it for me, probably, if I didn't do the live feeds, too. Anyway, I'm always on Jokersupdates, seeing what's new. (BTW, Jordan has already bared her Kootch to the cameras.) One good site is oddandstupid.com. They always have pics of when a person shows too much. Just have to watch out, because every year, some guy is showing off his penis. This year, it's Braden's gay soap opera pics.

I really like Lydia, and happy with yesterday's show....she's made some enemies now, I think...but, I think people will be going after others before going after her. I can't stand Ronnie...he's played the game way too hard way too soon. (Yesterday, trying to play both sides, was idiotic. You could tell he was lying to Russel with how he acted.)

 

[JewishHobbit]

I don't mind Ronnie, he just made some mistakes. Russel is the one I can't stand, and he's playing like an idiot. He's just making enemies and his cockiness will hurt him in the end. I expect him to go home next week.

 

[wiegeabo]

When are we closing opening debates again? I've bee super busy lately and still have one to get up.

[Phaedrus45]

Closing debates is later today...opening arguments were suppose to be done yesterday. If you want to do an opening argument for our match (the only one I can think of right now is Will O The Wisp), go ahead. I won't do a rebuttal, though. I'll let the opening arguments stand on their own.

 

[Phaedrus45]

JH, I can't believe you and Dan Slott were having a discussion about Spider-Man #600!!!! How cool is that??!!??!

He does bring up some very good points. There is a 60+ story, and it is a landmark 600th issue! I'm surprised Marvel didn't charge even more!!! I'll be buying every cover I can get.

The one thing about Russel is he's smarter than I thought he was. He recognized Lydia as a threat...which, she's really proved now, getting herself off the block. And, he knew INSTANTLY that Ronnie was playing both sides. Yep, he might get voted off quickly for his mouth...but, lets not forget that Evil Dick went all the way to the end with the same strategy.

I got a Wisp opening up. I'm thinking of the Fantomex/Talisman match.


And is anyone else having this much trouble getting the Hype to load today?

 

[Phaedrus45]

Yes, Hype has been very slow today...so, I've been making sure I copy what I type before sending; because, half the time I've been losing it. (Ok, with kids, I lost it a LOOOONG time ago!)

With Fantomex/Talisman, I can't give approval for posting an opening debate, because it's not my match, and we're suppose to have those up before voting begins. I'm not sure who your opponent is...but, if it's Powder, then I'm sure he'd ok, since he had to do that the last time.

 

[JewishHobbit]

It's my match and I don't mind. I'm not attached to Talisman enough to care if I lose her due to it.

And yeah, Dan Slott's a good guy dispite my feelings toward Spider-Man. I had a PM conversation with him a few years ago when I asked how he got into the business and asking for advice. He was very very helpful.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Debates are suppose to close soon. I'll try and hold off until I get back from Harry tonight if Wieg wants to try and quickly get something up. Wieg, if you get them up, go ahead and start debates, as I might space it out.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm seeing Harry Potter Friday. Seriously stoked.

 

[wiegeabo]

I was planning to get my opener up, but we had to put one of our dogs to sleep today, and I've lost all motivation.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Hate to hear that. I've lost a few dogs over the past few years so I know how much that sucks. I cried

 

[Phaedrus45]

I was planning to get my opener up, but we had to put one of our dogs to sleep today, and I've lost all motivation.

So sorry to hear that, Wieg. I know how tough that is; and, completely understand your lack of motivation. Your family is in my prayers. Our animals really become one of the family.

To everyone else, in my match against Wieg, I'd like everyone to seriously vote how you think the match would turn out. If more people think Will O The Wisp would win, please vote for that character.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Well I have voted and now I am off to Italy. I will be back Monday morning until Tuesday afternoon (my time) after which I have to go to a Pro-Am and will not be back until Thursday.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Have a great trip, Ahura!

BTW, I forgot to mention yesterday, but Harry is definitely worth the price of an evening ticket. Hard to decide what I liked more, Harry or Star Trek; but, both could be my favorite movie of the summer. It MORE than makes up for a disappointing Transformers.

I heard people say it's the best Harry yet...I was skeptical, but I'm thinking they just might be right. Everything was nearly perfect about this film.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Grrrr.... Ronnie's a *****e! He better send Russel home next week

 

[Phaedrus45]

Yep, Ronnie is most hated in the house by viewers, I think. Lots of fighting last night, and Ronnie acting like he didn't vote to evict Braden. Well, he can't hide that for long, when he has to pick nominations, I would think.

They really left a LOT out of that fight between Lydia/Braden/Kevin. A tv viewer would have been confused...but, Braden called Kevin a "beaner" and I think to "go back to Mexico." Of course, Kevin isn't Mexican, and that's why everyone was in an uproar. (On the West Coast, they blipped out most of what Chima said during the Eviction Cerminony...was it the same with the East Coast?)

 

[Phaedrus45]

So, what's up with our little contest? We seems to be losing voters and debaters. Not too many people left in this thing.

 

[POWdER-man]

Hellstormer got one debate up. Wieg lost his pet so that is understandable. Not sure where Ice is. Vanguard hasn't popped by since that notice about being away....yeah...

 

[Phaedrus45]

Well, I'm going to hold off putting up the next round and ending debates until things can resume somewhat back to normal.
