| battle royale is for the top 5 vote getters which
get byes and go into their own bracket, and when they lose they get a
bye to the quarterfinals which will be an eight-way ROYAL RUMBLE with
the top 4 advancing to the semis and going back to one-on-one matches. --- xyzzy |

awesome banner except for one thing why is there a game on there from a series that got beat in round 1 last game contest to a cult rpg --- http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n266/Mike_S_02/Baltimore_Ravens_Sig.jpg |

You could say it like that, or you could just say Pokemon R/B/Y. Either way, we both acknowledge it's not the game that lost to Xenogears when Square was still #1, so let me try this spin-thing you did...what's your problem with the likely-strongest handheld-exclusive (which actually outranked Xenogears in the Top 100 List) and the winner of B8's NRT getting a little representation? --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge.

So complain about R/B/Y but not Tetris in that regard? Anyway, just say Starcraft deserves the spot over R/B/Y instead of trying to slip it by people like that. You would have a case for it. --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge. How bad was it? ...I don't want to talk about it. |

Okay, and Pikachu has beaten L-Block. Does he have a championship for it? No, but we know characters =/= games anyway. --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge. How bad was it? ...I don't want to talk about it. |

UPDATE! Yeah, KP is correct, we reached the 80k mark for total noms about an hour ago. So there were 40k sent in during the 6 week B8-only era, and an equal number have now been sent by the casuals in the 7 days since the link hit the main page. Sounds like perfect timing for the release of a bracket just before finishing up site work on Friday evening, IMO! --- thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon!

KP more like KT keep on delaying this contest - I like the idea of it launching in the middle of all the biggish releases like RE5. plus I'm going to be away for a while in February so the later it starts, the better! also, noms went up on the front page on the day they were announced last time 'round. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com/Zen/bge2gif5.gif |

I'm not really expecting this contest to start before March, honestly.
I just don't want it to start much later than early in the month. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |
