Right, because if Claire was winning, we definitely wouldn't be
hearing "Man, how could you take KAIRI! She's freaking bottom of the
barrel FODDER!" Don't be a sore loser because you bet on the wrong horse. In all fairness, my point wasn't that Chichiri was being cocky. It was that he was being cocky after the fact when he hadn't been before. The people hypothetically posting what you said would most likely be people like EC, who were cocky about Claire anyway. Not that that makes that part right. This all kind of tangential anyway, because I wouldn't have responded to the post at all if it hadn't been for the "illogical" comment anyway. And how I am a sore loser for responding when someone passive-aggressively condescends to me? I'm not the one who started anything. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

You know what's good about this match though, right? Claire at ~16% on BL is making my Sheena > Jill pick feel much more probable! Yeaahh! (Kairi's still fodder, fools! I defend it till the death!

Probably the night vote. KH is historically horrible with it, but it
really doesn't matter given that it's capable of swings in the
thousands during the day. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, Castlevania: LoI |

Winning a single update is meaningless, especially when it's by less
then ten. If she starts winning consistent updates and shortening
Kairi's lead by a steady margin we might have a match on our hands.
Until the day vote hits that is. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

"It was that he was being cocky after the fact when he hadn't been before." I think I made three posts in here between the announcement of the bracket and the start of the contest. I haven't had TIME to be cocky in here. The only reason I'm on the board tonight is because I didn't get the email I was expecting for my job interview thing. Being 100% honest, it makes me want to cry. It's my dream job, and they sent me an email earlier this week saying that I was on to the next round of screening and that they'd send me an email thursday. If I had had the time, between wroking, going back to school, and spending 5-8 hours per week for three weeks trying to earn a spot as an intern then maybe I could have been cocky before. --- If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, maybe you deserved it. |

Heh, the night voters sure do hate their KH. Or aren't as fond of it...something. I actually like KH and its characters a lot, it's just that they've had a lot of bad matchups for me. I've voted for Sora...once, against Alucard. And I voted for Riku against Frog, because that thing needed to die. <_< Other than that, zilch. Oh, and I voted the series over Harvest Moon. =( --- Commit it to memory. |

I haven't listened to sonata arctica before... they sound a lot like

I don't dislike metal either. I just don't care for it at all. It
doesn't bother me when other people listen to it around me, unlike
country or most genres of rap, and some of it's even good. But it's not
something I would actually choose to listen to. --- If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, maybe you deserved it. |
