1)Mewtwo 2)Nightmare 3)Diddy Kong 4)Nightmare 5)Raiden 6)Wario 7)Knuckles the Echidna 8)Magus 9)Vivi Orunitia 10)Sub-Zero That's probably how I'll do my nominations...for now. --- "Ah, a party!

| Haste_2 | Posted 3/1/2007 1:31:13 AM | message detail |
| Actually, I don't know why I'd nominate Knuckles
and Magus... they were only snubbed because of the of the reduced male
field. Maybe I'd do Shadow the Hedgehog and Tails, instead. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Meh, God of War with 40-odd% is to be expected, but GO WARIO! And on a completely unrelated side note, Wario will be rocking faces in the Character Contest 2k7! --- For every awesome RE supporting guy, there's always one ****ing FFVII guy to ruin it!

Sorry. A lot of my favorites are in danger of being overlooked this year or are in need of redemption. Gotta nominate them.

1. Squall Leonhart 2. Mewtwo 3. Nightmare 4. Diddy Kong 5. Seifer Almasy 6. Raiden 7. Balthier 8. Knuckles the Echidna 9. Sub-Zero 10. Akuma That's what it looks like so far.

Also, Sonic is going to keep moving up in the world, what with a brand
new game on each next gen system, two of which are hurting for games.
Sonic is still an icon, obviously, so some people may be willing to
take a chance to buy it just because they want a new game to play. I tell you what, they make it hard for me to be conservative with Sonic the Hedgehog. One of these days, I'll have his path entirely correct! ...Because he's beating Samus this year! --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out.

Seifer Raiden Mewtwo Balthier Auron Squall Vincent GoW Kratos (should be interesting after GoW 2, plus he's awesome) Vaan Tifa ^ That's probably how I'll be doing my nominations. --- The blood of the weak shall be the ink with which we scribe great Yawgmoth's glorious name. - Stronghold Architect, journal (MTG) |

Just want to confirm once again, since many people appear not to have
seen it yet, that you owe Rufus one of the following nominations: If our next Contest is a Character Battle: Wario If our next Contest is a Game Contest: The Secret of Monkey Island If we get Games this Spring/early Summer, the Guru champ there will decide your Character slot. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Kratos got like a 3 seed in the stacked male bracket with like NO
support from this board. With GoW2 this year he's headed for a one
seed, really now. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

As for the poll today, I don't think people quite realise just how much
Europe still laps up the Playstation label. As depressing as it might
seem considering the crap that keeps getting dumped on us by Sony, I'm
fairly sure it'll do just as well as the Wii, particularly in the UK. --- For every awesome RE supporting guy, there's always one ****ing FFVII guy to ruin it! I got SFFed by Rufus Shinra in the Guru contest! |

Yeah... the poll voters today aren't very intelligent. Even though Sony
continually shoves a broom up Europe's ass, it'll still be a successful
launch. Even if there are people who are tired of their crap, there are
definitely going to be enough hardcore people left to sell out what
gets to the stores. --- Explicit Content. Cheer Up Emo Kids |

| I have been wondering about this, but would the FF1 characters like 'Fighter' and 'Black Mage' be eligible for a contest? Probably not, but if they are, I assume they could be pretty powerful. |

If Nidoran F was allowed in, I'd have to assume there'd be at least a chance that those characters would. Not that it'd happen, though --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Or your FACE !! Ha...so does anybody remember what day this contest was announced? It's been a LONG time...over a month ago, I think.

If this were a contest anyone actually cared about, the entire board would be flooded with WE WANT THE DAMN BRACKET!!! =| Still, this is annoying, in that we could be waiting for a games contest instead of a quotes contest right now >_> --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

who was it that said they expected this contest to be done by the end of March? it might begin at the end of March! good-bye, hopes of a Game Contest this year. we'll need to nix the character battle to do that. --- xyzzy™ "It's not trolling. It's justice." - Lightning Strikes |

Now now, let's not jump to conclusions. Let's say that the bracket does get released tonight. Bracket predictions up for about 2 week, contest starts March 17th or something. 32 entries, runs for a month. Ends mid-April. Nominations for a games contest start early May. Bracket up in June. Starts mid-June. Runs for two months. Ends mid-August. Nominations for Character Battle Start early September...contest starts...mid-October... uhhh yeah...you're right.

I think we're too tied into this "the Character Battle HAS to be the
Summer Contest!" idea, when last year showed the CJay is willing to be
very flexible with his scheduling. Quotes could run a month, followed
by Games in the Summer, followed by Characters whenever. I really don't
see a need for all this "woe is me!" attitude regarding the current
delay. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

oh, there's no need. we don't need to have a contest at all. but we've never gone a year without a character battle. it makes sense to assume we'll have another this year. --- xyzzy™ "It's not trolling. It's justice." - Lightning Strikes |

Well on the one hand I wouldn't mind a Game Contest being pushed back
that far, as it should give us a chance to see Prime 3, Galaxy,
possibly MGS4 and Brawl in action. On the other hand, TP and FF6 are
probably peaking right about now, and I doubt
FF12/KH2/Gears/Oblivion/New Mario are the types of games that can go
against the trend and get stronger as they age, Melee-style. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

If we keep on thinking that, then Games Contest 2 will always be
delayed to "let a big name game get in". I think it was fine holding
off last year so we could get Final Fantasy XII, Twilight Princess,
Kingdom Hearts 2, among others in if we were to have a Games Contest
this year. --- [=[_] =] Nintendo DS~See double while sober! [+[_]·:·] Wii FC: 7696 5759 3867 0483 |
