Someone nominating Link for the guru would be the best form of trolling ever. --- http://i47.tinypic.com/28gtj5g.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

How often do you troll back on trolls for other things? ...is it ever productive? Anyway, we gotta understand that -- while we don't want to see such a pick wasted -- we didn't win that contest-influence. If the winner picked Crono in hopes of reaching a higher seed, that's the contest-influence he won and it's on us to shell it out. It's still just one nomination regardless. If they want to waste their Guru-nom, they have that right. We, as the losers in this scenario, don't have that option if we want to be good honorable people. Anyway, how many people with that kind of power are going to pick a contest-regular anyway? Wario's the closest we've come to it so far. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

From: Fayt_Esteed | #049 Agreed. I'm STILL appalled that GUYBRUSH, of all people, not only continues to make the contests, but also at the fact that he's disgustingly overseeded. If we have to have fodder it should be the best fodder. Guybrush is hands down the BEST fodder we COULD ever get. --- Quality > Strength |

Isaac did the other day, but I neglected to mention it. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

I've
honestly thought about winning the Guru, picking Link, and then leaving
the board forever. The idea makes me chuckle to myself, which is
probably more pathetic than the idea itself. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Guybrush is as much a contest staple as Link is at this point. I would be sad if he didn't make it in! --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: nintendo girl | #053 No, no, no - Pious Augustus would be the best fodder addition ever. And he should be in a match vs. Manny Calavera. ;-) --- Currently playing: FE8, Zelda: Spirit Tracks Currently Watching: BSG: Season 3, LOST: Season 5 (rewatch) |

The best fodder to date has been probably Conker or EWJ. Shut up if you disagree. I'd say Protoman too, but he's gonna break 40% on Solid this year. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

There's one character I'd consider not nominating, and that's Jay Solano. I don't want his legacy to be ruined! be it a complete joke (Blue Marble) I wouldn't actually choose The Blue Marble.

Don't
worry CATS fans, after this year's nomination debacle, I'm sure there
are plenty of people willing to spare a nomination slot for CATS... I'm
sure he'll be like a 7th seed next contest... --- Nominate B.B. Hood for CB IX http://miniurl.org/ntI |

This
match is going as expected for me personally even from a statistically
stand point. Sub gets 40% on Auron while Tidus gets 42% on Kirby, and
if you think KH2 Auron is nowhere near Kirby, Sub would have really
been the easy choice. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

I didn't know people reneged on Toadette. And the new character I want to see in the contest most at this point would be Sheik, then Epona. Also, I'd be completely fine with the Guru winner choosing Link. I would laugh and nominate him; I haven't nominated him in years at least, maybe not ever, and he really deserves it as my 3rd favorite character. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Tidus also got 38% on Mega Man in lol four-ways. And I think Auron would probably almost beat Mega Man but that's just me. I only really looked up old 1 vs 1 match-ups and assumed they had no reason to boost or drop (or at least very little when you consider Dissidia). --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

red sox 777 | Posted 2/2/2010 10:17:45 AM | message detail |
I'd
still nominate him, though I wouldn't enjoy doing it. There's really
much worse nominations though- like I would far rather nominate Sonic
than someone like Toadette. If the Guru winner is a huge Sonic fan who
wants to see him go an extra round further, fine. It beats horrible
fodder that no one cares about being blown out in round 1. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
charmander6000 | Posted 2/2/2010 10:17:58 AM | message detail |
The
problem with Toadette is that nominations opened before the series
contest ended which caused people to use up all of their nominations
before realizing that they needed the guru. You also couldn't delete
nominations back them. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 26/34 - Today's Winners: Roxas and Sub-Zero |
