I haven't seen Bran or Darth post on the tourny thread lately. I wonder what's up with them? 🤨

They probably realise that they can't win and have gone home to cry.

🙂

Speaking of our match, do we know who the judges are yet? Because, ya know...it kinda ends Monday.

And I'm fine with a slower match....after our whirlwind round 1 it's a nice change of pace.

It's not that Captain Atom wasn't good enough, it's that he was more unstable and had less feats to chose from. However both are powerful characters, Genis simply has more feats.

I'd tend to agree, though Atom was your best pick imo. Scoob and I seriously considered him for a while. It might have been possible to smuggle Genis into Round 3, since I'd rather debate for him than BRB. But again, that's me.

...but both are far better than Dr. Light. For the sake of your tourney rep, be happy he wasn't on the squad.

DDC: #15 kinda sucks.

...I know. srug

It's more venting than an attempt at humor. I was actually genuinely pissed that my Groundhog Day was ruined (not to mention the occurence itself).

😬

When is Groundhog day?

I guess it's an American-only thing...but you should watch the movie still. It's a good time. I've had The Pennsylvania Polka stuck in my head for a solid day and a half now...

👆

I've seen the movie at least 5 times .... for a repetitive film, it never gets old.

😐

Damn Digimark you have to agree the members bar is full of bears!!

🤣

Regardless of whether or not Scoob and I win this round, I PM'd BD to request that 5 judges be used for the finals rather than a poll.

I can't see who votes in polls as a mod, but with the recent socking nonsense, my Mod-ship might haunt me if people are voting against me because I'm trying to get them banned....and it's feasible that 1 angry sock could vote multiple times.

And beyond that, goober has understandable reasons for not being able to post, and I have nothing but respect for the 2 of them. But they've gotten about 10 of their 13 poll votes in the last few days, and haven't posted once during that time.

It seems...slanted...to put it mildly. And I get the feeling lots of those votes are from people who didn't bother to read the entire battle. I'd much rather just have the 5th judge.

I will agree Digi that the 5th Judge idea should be implemented into it.

BD agrees too, so we should be good for the finals.

And I feel bad that the forum is excluded, but at the same time it's so arbitrary that it has a lot of potential to become unfair for people.

What if people voted having read the matches when they did? The teams didnt not necessarily have to have been posting in the past few days for them to get an idea of what is happening and voting from there 😬

That said, I could care less which way the voting happens for the finals. Either way works for me

it's funny how things look when you're IN the tournament rather than sitting on the outside running the show, eh digi . . .?

No, I understand. And yes, I'm sure some do read everything. But the potential is always there, and we eliminate possible bias and/or misinformation with a 5th judge.

...and please understand, it's not because of the current match. We're losing the poll, and I'm fine with that. I just want to help things out for the future. You have to admit that it seem a bit odd though, even though bran/goober don't necessarily have to be posting to get legitimate votes.

Indeed.

I will point out, however, that I was the first tournament director to actually implement judges rather than simply using a poll or in-thread voting. So I'm not completely oblivious to these things.

😉

...

...

btw, the match ends tonight. Just an fyi for bran/goober, judges, anyone who wants to vote, etc.

So the Judges are:

xmarksthespot
LethalFemme
grey fox
celestialdemon

Who is celestialdemon? ... 😕 .... I don't recognise that name at all ... is it a regular poster who changed his/her name?

I also closed the poll.

But yeah, I don't recognize him either....the naem sounds vaguely familiar though, so he's probably been around for a least a bit.
