An Update

Okay, so the time I had mentioned setting aside in my reply to a comment on my last post got destroyed by last-minute schedule changes, so the posts I've been meaning to make for months will be pushed back yet another week (I'll work on what I can today and tomorrow, and begin staggering them all next week).

But lest you think I have been intentionally shirking my duities to both this site and the Prequel Appreciation Society (where I have been made an administrator in order to help review comments - which I always seem to find time to do after they've been reviewed already), let me let you in on a bit of what has been going on.

Geekdom Madness 2016: Tournament of Losers Victor!

We are ready to announce the Victor for Geekdom Madness 2016: The Tournament of Losers. As usual, unlike the other Victor postings which are right on the front page, I'm going to add a page break because SUSPENSE!

Geekdom Madness 2016: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

And only one will survive. I wonder who it will be?

GM16: The Semi-Final Victors

We're ramping up for the end here, so let's not waste any time. You have spoken. These are your champions.

The Victors for the Geekdom Madness Semi-Final are...

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

 With 6 out of 9 votes (66%), he yo-hoed Yoda. He has what it takes.

and...

Maleficent

"You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me...ME! The mistress of all evil!"

 With 4 out of 8 votes (50%) and a tiebreaker die roll of 14 to her opponent's abysmal 1, she riddled the Riddler. She has what it takes.


Here's the breakdown. Tomorrow, the Geekdom Madness 2016 Final!

I thought that was going to go 100% the opposite way

Geekdom Madness 2016: The Semi-Final

Hello all, and welcome to Geekdom Madness 2016's Semi-Final. Our Elite Four will be whittled down to the final two. So let's not waste any time!

GM16 - QF: Unreadable/Hear Me Roar Victors

Interesting split.

The Victors for the second round of the Quarter-Final and the last two Elite Four are...

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

and...

Maleficent

"You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me...ME! The mistress of all evil!"

Disney wins the day. Captain Jack nailed Match 1 by a landslide 8 votes out of 10 (80%). Maleficent came back from a disappointing start, winning by one last-minute vote to gain 5 votes out of 9 (55%).

So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Elite Four of Geekdom Madness 2016: The Tournement of Losers

Close, but no cigar.

The Riddler

"Riddle me this: I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscle, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?"

In another week when the vote count differs between matches, Yoda won Match 1 with 5 votes out of 8 (62%), while the Riddler won Match 2 with 4 votes out of 7 (57%)
