Okay you're finished, now go out and tell the next in line to come in.

I vote for Green Eggs and Dan.

I think that fuzzyman would have voted for Big Evil Dan, eh?

Assuming DH-01 and xpac are officially gone now, it looks like all the signs lead to one conclusion...

I AM A COLLOSAL LOSER!!

and on Valentines day of all days!

how......depressing.

Hrmmm...I'm not going to name names in case I'm mistaken, but I'd like to remind a certain three people that voting alliances are discouraged. >:(

Anyway. fpd's probably going to vote, so we'll at least wait for him until starting the next match.

I vote for Kajun Firefly.

FPD is the foremost plague on discussion boards. Do your part to stomp out FPD.

Because Kajun can still technically win, I've e-mailed our absent friends DH and xpac and bade them vote. Again, if they haven't done so by about noon tomorrow, we'll just get on with it.

But I'd still need your vote, so if you just say "Big Evil Dan", then we can get on with it.

Well, I like to get as many votes as possible each round to reduce the chances of people having unfair advantages in future draws. Everyone else has been very quick about getting their votes in this time, so a few more hours won't hurt.

Oh, by the way: KKP, is your internet access going to be affected by your moving house? Let me know.

By the way, Andy, are you going to random-draw the subsequent rounds so that people who submitted the beginning/middle/end of the Crims story won't necessarily have the same section of the next ones?

I'll randomize the order of the matches, but I may as well keep the match-ups themselves the same. So kramer will still face wirthling in Round 2, but not in the first match. I'll do the same with Rounds 3 and 4.

Er, well, Round 3 anyway. I guess the order of matches in the final is inevitable.

Im moving Sunday night , and should , in theory , be available online on Monday night.

Since im taking my machines over , i shouldnt have a problem , however , im sorting out passwords etc etc , in case theyre lost in the move when i switch ISP's.

Any problems , ill throw you an email , or send an email to Kajun for him to pass on.

I dont foresee any problem.

Famous last words.

Welcome to the post-apocalyptic Cup. I've still received no reply from the two people I was trying to get to exercise their democratic rights, so we'll just presume they're dead. What a shame.

Winner of Round 1, Match 7: Big Evil Dan

[u]Round 1, Match 8[/u]

Follow up "Sit-Crim".

The rule, inspired by recent events:[list]
[*]Something must malfunction. Perhaps a doorbell doesn't work, or maybe the world stops turning. But something isn't functioning as intended. Try and make the strip quite conclusive, too.
[/list]

It's been an epic saga of greed, crime, sex, death and custard, but now the gripping story of Hyperbole and company comes to an end! Will our friends finally find fame and fortune on that fantastic farce, Friends? Don't miss the shattering denouement, true believers!

I have returned. Thanks for doing the proxy vote, Gabe... Ya done good.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

I disagree.

Righto. I had expected it might take a little longer anyway because of the Great Crash.

I have a job interview in 8 hours time. Im sending them this as my excuse for being unable to open my eyes.

For Paparazzi , read "Network Executives". This comic went through more rewrites in an hour than Andy's Maw has men in a month.
