Rumor Control: Here Are the Facts

The day last week that I had set aside to do my big Star Wars Anniversary post, we got a rather alarming bit of news that we've had to spend the intervening time dealing with that. We are not sharing exactly what this news is yet except with immediate family, select friends, and bosses/co-workers it would directly impact. When we have decided it's okay for the world at large to know, it will go here.

I had hoped to do the post in May when it would be relevant, but expect it in the next week along with some more backlogged articles.

The Geekdom Madness posts will continue as usual - they've been mostly written ahead of time up to this point, though now I REALLY have to wait for the results.

I pick the most inconvenient times to come back to writing.

GM15 - TRG: UnstoppableForces/Firey Personalities Victors

Another tiebreaker that I won't bother to be dramatic with this time.

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

The Powerpuff Girls

"And once again the day...is saved!"

and...

Abby Sciuto

"Never forget: I am one of the few people in this world who can murder you and leave no forensic evidence."

Out of 9 votes, The Powerpuff Girls squeaked by the Xenomorphs at the last second after spending most of the week tied, with the final vote being 5/4 (55%/45%). Out of 10 votes, Abby and Charizard were dead even with 5 votes each. Once again, I rolled a d20 for each of them, and Abby rolled 18 to Charizard's 11. 

I do have to say that these were some of the closest matches outside of last year's final, and this kind of makes me excited as to where this year's contest will lead.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Girls just wanna have fun.

The weirdness quotient rises this week as we bring you Damsels vs Dragons

GM15: Zerg Rush/Lab Rats Victors

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.


The Victors for the fourth round of the preliminaries are...

Xenomorphs

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

and...

Abby Sciuto

"Never forget: I am one of the few people in this world who can murder you and leave no forensic evidence."

Another week where match 1 got more total votes than match 2. Xenomorphs received 7 votes out of 12 (58%) to the Gremlins' 5 votes (42%). The second match had 11 votes total with Abby winning with 6 votes (55%) to Brundlefly's 5 (45%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!
