Hmm.. Well, at least I got a little in.

I'll give this thing more of my time next round.

Don't sweat it too much Luna. If I remember correctly, you got off two votes in your first post. That equal's up to 6 vote burn. There were a lot of no shows this round who got voted on a lot more than you, and they got complete vote burn. Heck. I landed SEVEN votes on Zio, which is more than what you got. I'd say you have a good chance of making it ot the next round.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk.

Say Baka... I know that feeling! O.o; I woke up this morning (er... I was just listenign to that song too just a second ago) and realized I had... what, 2 hours? O_O I have to use my dad's, which is a pain in the butt because I can't bookmark anything, and just a general hassle since I can't be on when I want to.

--; Mine still acts fritzy. I suspect I do indeed need a 10" IDE cable for my new HD (on my new PC, which took the drives from my old one as well, thus, I can't just go back that easily) because it freezes/file issues otherwise. And of course, I won't get a enw cable til - yep - after the tourney.

I suppose sleeping past my alarm was the first mistake. --;

BTW, I'm saving this. ^^ *needs to grab draft* After Krizak/Yume gives us our totals, I'll save this page so I at least have the closing of the round. *rubs eyes* Must... stay... awake.

(And then this afternoon I get to walk 3+ miles to the mall to job hunt more. Joy. I only pray it won't rain on me. >< I've been there once.)

And... in closing, I'm beginning to wonder about myself. I hit Rubicante, and forgot to count that vote. I'm calling the benefit of the doubt in my mind adn callign it setting up the future, that is, IF I make it. --; Flipside - I kept almost forgetting the sorrow cast on me. (But hey, it gave me something to work off of~! Just had to remember I couldn't use any r-votes. v.v; That's hard.)

About time you showed up, Baka. I was already worried that you wouldn't make it...

Ouch, looks like I got to be the punching bag this round.

I don't even think people with massive vote burn have enough to top the damage I took! Bwaha!

*limps away, attempting to hold on to his half-severed arm* Anyone got a Tylenol?

Visit The Moogle Cafe! If you don't, we're going to send a pack of rabid Moogles to abduct you, anyway!

Yeah, but I also got hit by some attack votes....honestly, though, I'm not worried. I wasn't able to contribute anything this round thanks to my ongoing block -_-;;; so I'd rather see someone who DID contribute continue on. If I make it, fine, I'll work extra-hard to justify my being there. If I don't, no sweat, I'll sit back and enjoy everyone else's writing. I'm not going to be upset either way.

Cheers folks, let's just hope Kriz allows my votes...

Ouch-- sorry, Munkwunk! *tosses Zio a medical herb-- not that kind of 'herb,' mind you * I had a feeling I was forgetting a Dark sponsor in there somewhere, but I couldn't remember how.... Eh, it probably doesn't matter. You were spared an Archaic English Recruitment Speech.

Luna, I hope you can move on, too. It's entirely understandable that some people couldn't (or didn't, for some reason) get here in time; what with all the downtime recently.... I was really wondering what happened to all the Random Insanity people (Izlude almost missed it; I don't think I saw Exeter, and poor Mintaka's still having problems ).

Hope things'll turn around for ya, Mint-- it's always good to hear from you. I'm in a real mess myself in the illusion we call "Life"-- my temporary job ends on Thursday, and I'm still paying off the college I had to drop from....

Well, at least the results were different from the earlier Survivor* Tournament. I was surprised to see so many Nobles and Rogues take some votes-- despite my best efforts, I was sure the Darks would be under the AXE again. Meh... we might still be.

*"Rurouni Taikai" is interesting, but I for one am still calling it FFOS. Wise Man say:
"Just because something is said in Japanese, doesn't necessarily make it cool."

Wow, that was fun for my first Tournament ever. Haha..

Dark Alliance r 1337 plz.

GJ @ all of us, very impressive stuff there.

I kinda feel sorry for those who forgot the whole thing (like Seifer Almasy), and Boko apparently thought that it ends 6 hours later, I think he still had a bunch of A-Votes left.

Ah well...... fun stuff!!!

UFO Z: Amen, my Evil Brother. "Leet" doesn't begin to describe our Dark Power! Uwee hee hee hee!

You did a great job for the first tourney (if I can say so-- technically this is my first too ). You do Kefka pretty well, and a character like him adds a lot to the Tourney. GJ @ u 2!

*points at new custom rank*

I'll get a Zoma avatar as soon as I get home and access to my beloved PhotoShop. *hugs junky obsolete Compaq desktop*

Daigohji, I like that title... it really does fit with what happened (even the arena was, conveniently enough, a Garden).

Heh, nice name, Dai. XDDD I remember fondly the hilarious names of S5's rounds. Good times, those....*sighs*

I'll have to agree that it's nice to see the evil characters doing better this time around. Last time they seemed to taking quite the beating for no reason other than being evil. 'Cept for TranceGredge, he pissed off enough people in S5 to deserve all the votes Boomer got. Heh.

Curse the dark alliance!

Yeah, this is also my first survivor unless you count the half tourni before the forums went down.

Boko's gonna be pissed.......

A million thanks to Lucent for a truly excellent banner!

TEH - You know it makes sense. Thanks to Boko for the banner.

Final Fantasy VII - Disillusionary World - My fanfic, a retelling of the Nibelheim events five years before the start of FFVII, exploring the enigmatic pasts of Cloud and Sephiroth.

Uh, Rubicante is Ex-Type Shadow, does that mean I should withdraw from the Dark Alliance? Anyways, best of luck to anyone caught unaware and suffering from Vote Burn!

---

Maybe you'll be able to challenge me again. I look forward to our next encounter.

Actually, Slipstream, at the end of my first post in Round 1 I mentioned that the invitation was open to all Shadows and Darks. "Dark Alliance" is just a cool name that Ufo Z and I have been using; it goes back to Zoma's statement of "Darkness vs. Light" rather than "Evil vs. Good."

Hey, it's not like we're going to kick anybody out. A writer of your caliber, Slipstream, is an asset to any side; and you've been doing a great job with Rubicant.

And thanks again, guys, for going with us on this. Darth Zoma sayeth: "If only thou knewest the true power possesed by the Dark Side!"

ARGH! I lay a curse on all computers, for they are evil incarnate!!!

Yes, if you hadn't guessed, my computer crashed. Near the end of the three hour long vote tallying process. Which means that I have to do the entire thing ALL OVER AGAIN...

I would expect the next round to start around 6 PM at this point...

Rurouni Taikai: The Eternal Dream ~ The Massive Insanity Has Begun! ~ Now, Cross Your Fingers And Hope For The Best!

Didn't anyone ever tell you to save frequently?

Shut up.

*facefaults* Gah! I don't think I need to say how much that sucks! >_< Man....I think I'll head off for a little while, then, since I don't have to worry about missing anything at the moment....my sympathies to you, Krizak. *wanders off*

This is why I plan on doing the tallying for S7 (RT2) with pen and paper. I don't trust these new fangled computrixes.

Luna, don't worry, I got hit with the vote burn as well. ^^ I managed to get off most of my A-Votes, though...

Krizak: That sucks, but if it makes you feel any better...my hardrive crashed about a week ago. I lost everything. Absolutely everything. I had it saved on another computer too, but the documents on that computer were erased because my dad had to reinstall and he thought that he'd resaved it on my computer. >< Arg...in either case, good luck.

Daig: That's a good idea...at least you don't end up losing anything that way.

Min and Baka, you guys barely made it...but hey, you got here! Unfortunately...did Ex make this round at ALL!?!? That's kinda weird...he's usually on at least once...o_O;;

Yeah, and, GO RANDOM INSANITY!!! Ahem.

Even though there were less people, and I sort of missed the hectic craziness of the first attempt at FFOS6, I liked this tournament because it was easier to keep up with all the different stories.

My only regret is that I can't write as much this time around, due to homework and school schedule and such things. I'll still try to write as much as I can, though. Hopefully I'll be able to add something to the story.

I've enjoyed reading so far; I'm looking forward to round two.

And that's why I don't do homework, Soujiro. Well that and the fact that as an English major my homework consists solely of reading extremely dull books by people who are now dead. Mercifully I'm also blessed with a class schedule that leaves plenty of open time for Survivor. I only have three days of classes and two of those are already over. You might not see much of me Thursday, but the rest of the week I'll have plenty of time to devote to putting forth my (and Julius's) best.

Terra: Like I said before, I'm not worried. And, considering the delay, that's a good thing. It wouldn't be easy on my nerves if I were worried about the results and had to wait. *laughs* Ugh, I'm terribly sorry to hear about what happened to your computer. That sucks beyond belief....my fullest sympathies to you.

Oh yeah, and GO RANDOM INSANITY! *waves a little RI flag* And for everyone from RI....BARREL! XDDD Heh heh heh....

I ph33er teh Dark Alliance!

I think that this was a really great round. Then again, I only have the last semi-tournament to compare it with, so...

To ArchKnightWayne:

In case you didn't read my edit, I said that the whole reference to "Timotheus" was supposed to be a compliment. I mean, if I had a character like that, I'd want to be him!

To Luna:

Barrel? OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...colourful barrel...

Luna: Thanks...and it's ok. I was able to get some of my stuff back from the web, but...it's ok now. ^^ And...

barrel BARREL barrel barrel BARREL barrel BARREL barrel BARREL

Okay, maybe not!

Bah! Boxes are the SUPERIOR container!

Last edited by Curley W on 01-29-2002 at 10:20 PM

San Draco: HA!!! Ph33r teh barrels!!!

Baka: Somewhere? Argh...but you still have to finish it...sometime...

Curley: Now, you haven't played Star Ocean: The Second Story, have you...? Play the game and get Ashton Anchors as a character. Then you'll worship the barrels like the rest of us...

Nay! Deus Ex hath spoken truly: wooden crates are the only true containers!

Note: To those of you that haven't played Deus Ex, 1) you should. 2) it's one big warehouse. Everywhere you go, crates. Underground sewers; a crate. Expensive apartment high-rise; a crate. Here a crate, there a crate, everywhere a breakable crate....

Now, now, Chaos. Let's see what we can do.... *throws Chaos a potion*

...the potion's in a barrel.

I ph33er teh Terra Lockheart!

ArchKnightWayne, that's cruel. Just plain cruel. *Throws a crate at Zoma.* That's what you get, kwe-hehehehehe!

Noooooooooo~! Barrels are the true containers!! You must worship them!

Deus Ex, huh? I'm only a little bit into it so far, but...

MIS (heh XD): See! I knew you would ph33r teh barrels eventually!

No, no, no, cardboard boxes are the true gods of containers. Strong, durable and you can walk around enemy bases using one without anyone suspecting a thing!

Unless the guards get some brains and KICK the carboard box, you know what I mean? They'd never do that for a BARREL...so barrels are still the best!
