GM17 - QF: Precocious/Kingdom of Monsters Victors

Wow, where did these extra votes come from?

The Victors for the first round of the Quarter-Final and the first of our Elite Four are...

























Mabel Pines

"I know that hurts because I've accidentally done it to myself! Multiple times!"












and...












Toriel

"Prove to me you are strong enough to survive!"

We've had the largest last-minute influx of votes this year so far. Match 2 was unaffected since Toriel commanded an early lead and stayed there, but Match 1 did a complete 180 allowing the straggling Mabel to come out on top. In the end, both Victors won with 7 votes out of a whopping 12 votes (58%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

I knew I should have posted my Star Wars anniversary posts sooner

We lost some voters....

The Victors for the fourth and final round of The Real Game are....

"Ecto gammat!"

Both matches only had 5 votes total. Luna had a flawless victory with all 5 votes going to her (100%), where as Leeloo won with a single vote, with 3 out of 5 (60%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow for the Quarter-Finals!

GM17 - TRG: Rough Textures/Bronzed Victors

What an explosive turnout!

The victors for the third round of The Real Game are...






















The Lizard

"You need to hurry...I'm...lossssing control....."





and...







Chronormu

"Hmm....haven't we done this before?"

Chromie got a commanding lead early on and maintained it throughout despite a last-minute influx. This last minute influx however swung the lead away from Candlejack and to The Lizard, squeaking him by as the polls were closing. In the end, both Victors won with 5 votes out of a total of 9 (55%). 9 is the current record total for this year, though we've had much higher numbers in the past.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Technically they're both scaly, contrary to previous descriptions.

GM17 - TRG: Courage of the Heart/Bestial Victors

Slightly higher turnout this week!


The Victors for the second round of The Real Game are...






















Anakin Skywalker

"You underestimate my power!"








and...






Godzilla

"SKREE-onnk!"


Anakin won his match handily with 6 votes out of 9 (66%). Godzilla won his match by only one late-week vote, ending with 5 votes out of 9 (55%). As I recall, the last match where we had 9 total votes was the last time Godzilla competed, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see more from him going forward.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Also, Anakin wins on the Revenge of the Sixth
