GM17: Lego Genetics/Here Be Dragons Victors

I was getting worried there for a minute.

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

The Lizard

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

and...

Chronormu

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

It took several days for any of you to consider your choices, but in the end the matches turned out equal. Both Victors won their respective matches with a respectable 5 votes out of 7 total (71%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

That'll get nerfed later.

Geekdom Madness 2017: Lego Genetics/Here Be Dragons

This week: animal-people and witty wyrms.

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: Emerald Elves/R&R Victors

Close, but no cigar.


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

Yoda

"Much to learn, you still have."

and...

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%)



Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Geekdom Madness 2016 - Quarter Final: Emerald Elves/R&R

Welcome to the Geekdom Madness 2016 Quarter-Finals! Our past losers have been ruthlessly proving themselves winners in their own right, and now we see who gets to be in the Elite Four!

GM16 - TRG: Return of Wizard's Duel/Theory or Practice Victors

That was a fast turnaround.

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

Yoda

"Much to learn, you still have."

and...

The Riddler

"Riddle me this: We're five little items of an everyday sort; You'll find us all in A Tennis Court."

Out of 9 votes total each match, both Yoda and Riddler scored 5 votes (55%). Interestingly, it was Snape and Michelangelo that had early leads, but our Victors surpassed at the last minute by one vote.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Would it ruin the suspense if I told them that they get a new riddle each time Riddler wins?

Geekdom Madness 2016 - The Real Game: Return of Wizard's Duel/Theory or Practice

Welcome to Geekdom Madness 2016: The Real Game. Our first matches: Slimy Mudholes and Booksmarts vs Streetsmarts.

GM16: Tall, Dark, and Moody/Mind Games Victors

Sorry for the delay, I'm still struggling to get back on any sort of schedule. Then again, given the lackluster voting numbers, we all may be.

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

Severus Snape

"Clearly, fame isn't everything"

and...

The Riddler

"Riddle me this: The poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?"

Snape won 5 votes out of 7 (71%), and the Riddler snagged 4 out of 6 (66%). Some of our lower numbers, but we're just getting going.

Now, let's hang our heads as Geekdom Madness bids a final farewell to Lt. Worf ("There is nothing shameful in falling to a superior enemy.") and Jean Grey ("It's better this way. Quick. Clean. Final.")

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Geekdom Madness 2016: Tall, Dark, and Moody/Mind Games

This week are four contestants with massive chips on their shoulders (some of them from other people).

GM15 - QF: Super Showdown/Back in Black Victors

Alright folks. We're doing things a little differently. We're giving you the vote tallies BEFORE we announce the victors.

Both matches had a total of 8 votes. Match 1 was a runaway 6/2 (75%/25%). The other was again, surprise surprise, a dead tie (4/4, 50%/50%, etc).

I pulled out my dice again. At first I decided to do best two out of three, but then decided that wasn't fair - I had never done that with the other ties. Therefore, in the end, I have to go with my original rolls: 17 to 2.

The Victors for the first round of the Quarter Final, and the first of 2015's Elite Four 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."

That means that Abby has tied with, and luckily broken a tie against, two VERY widely recognized geek icons in The Penguin and Charizard. One must wonder if this streak will continue.


Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Can't believe there are just three more weeks

Geekdom Madness 2015 - Quarter Final: Super Showdown/Back in Black

Welcome to the Geekdom Madness 2015 Quarter Final! Y'know, doing the two polls per week has really expedited this process - at this point last year, we weren't even done with the preliminaries! So, without further ado, bring on the Quarter Finals!

GM15 TRG: Rhapsody in Purple/Umbrellas Victors

How comical.

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

Nightcrawler

"*BAMF!*"

and...

The Penguin

"But what it all comes down to is: who's holding the umbrella?"

Two close matches with uneven numbers of votes. Match 1 had 9 votes with Nightcrawler beating Donatello 5/4 (55%/45%). Match 2 had 8 votes, with Penguin beating Lexington 5/3 (62%/38%). The comics win.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

So Pengers has made it at least as far as Catwoman.

Geekdom Madness 2015: The Real Game: Rhapsody in Purple/Umbrellas

Welcome to Geekdom Madness 2015: The Real Game. Our first matches: Bo vs Bamf and Wings vs Waddle.

GM15: X Marks the Spot/Gotham Rogues Victors

Only seven of you care about these, eh?

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

Nightcrawler

*BAMF!*

and...

The Penguin

"But what it all comes down to is: who's holding the umbrella?"

Out of seven votes each, Penguin easily handled Riddler 5 (72%) to 2 (28%). However, Jean and Nightcrawler were neck and neck until a single vote pushed it in Nightcrawler's favor, giving him 4 votes (57%) to Jean's 3 (43%)

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

 

FYI, fixed a typo to one of tomorrow's contestants. You're welcome.

 

Geekdom Madness 2015: X Marks the Spot/Gotham Rogues

This week: Birds vs. Mysteries

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Cat and Frog Victor

Somehow, I'm always surprised.

The Victor for the first round of the Quarter-Finals is....

Jar Jar Binks

"Mesa accept dis with muy muy humility!"

Out of 14 votes, Jar Jar received 64% to Catwoman's 36%. What really blew me away was not only the number of votes (We've had higher, but not really since the beginning), but that the majority of them came on Sunday.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

How exciting!

 

Geekdom Madness: Quarter-Final - Cat and Frog

Welcome to the Quarter-Finals of Geekdom Madness! We've had a lot of surprises so far, and the competition is getting tense! We're closing in on the end, but we've still a ways to go.

So let's get to it!

Geekdom Madness: TRG - Secret Crises on Infinate Wars Victor

This was really really close. It was actually the first in a while that was tied at one-point. But even with the early poll closing, some last-minute votes squeaked by, and there can be only one.

The Victor for the third round of The Real Game is...

Catwoman

"Meow"



 

Thought they were often neck and neck, our feisty feline kept pulling ahead, and at the end of the day out of the 10 votes total she recieved 60% of the vote to Deadpool's 40%.

 

 

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

 

Can you think of a sonnet? Or a...dirty limerick?

Hi, I'm a Marvel and I'm a DC.
