I say don't penalize people for not voting once. It should be at least twice before anyone incurs a penalty, due to understandable days where people can't make it to KMC. But that's just my input...I'm on every day and vote, so I'll never get penalized for this, but would rather not win a close match because of it (though I realize the need to keep people accountable).
I don't mind if they can't vote as long as they send me PM beforehand letting me know. But to just vanish and re-appear again for your own match is bad manners. I also don't appreciate people who abstain. If you want people to respect your match by voting in it, then you should return the courtesy and vote in their matches.
Final Thoughts: It was a tough match-up, but King Kandy came out on top. King Kandy matched magical abilities and speed. He covered Dr. Strange's weakness of fast moving characters by merging him with Professor Zoom. He also bought 36 prep and BFR. He came prepared. id369 also came prepared, however based on this match, the voters felt he relied too much on his Psi powers. And while Nate's psi powers are formidable to Dr. Strange, he was too specialized, and couldn't match Dr. Strange's versatility and strength in other areas.
However, it was a good match, I hope to see both of you succeed and push forward in this tournament. Hopefully id369 learned how to use his character better for future rounds.
If anyone else wants to leave any comments and advice for the competitors since this thread will probably go down into history, then feel free to do so now.
Match over.
