Okay, we have 18 players, which is probably plenty. That filled up waaaay faster than I expected.

They are:
[list]
[*] kaufman
[*] crabby
[*] lara7
[*] Bogart
[*] ladyjdotnet
[*] kramer_vs_kramer
[*] Big Evil Dan
[*] Kajun Firefly
[*] andydougan
[*] Kevin Keegans Perm
[*] flickguy
[*] Jael
[*] DexX
[*] skagg
[*] wirthling
[*] Mr_Kidney
[*] TheElPaso
[*] Kitty_Kat
[/list]
I'll semi-randomly divide you into two leagues of 9 players each and get CC7 rolling this weekend.

This is gonna be fun!

...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.

Aren't you the same guy who was insulting Bogart a matter of hours ago?

you didn't miss it Bogart, it never happened, at least not to my knowledge, sometimes Andy spends too much time sniffing paint and not enough time in reality!

Dad was flammable

dont you mean sniffing pants?

Come ahead then!

Isn't it quite sad you have to reply to your own posts?

it's sad, or a sign of extreme boredom!

Okay, I have semi-randomly divided the Cup into two leagues. (Semi-random because I made adjustments to be sure that neither side is overly stacked with regulars or newbies). Your league membership is listed below. I won't have time until Sunday to actually post the rules for the first round of comics, so sit tight...

---------- Tobor League ----------

oooh , just what i wanted. The opportunity to vote Andy off every round.

Glad i avoided Dr.K. Clearly thats who i feel will be the "Dark Horse" for this one.

Or is that the "Dark Donkey"

---
"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

I don't think it's random that DexX, kaufman, and I all ended up in the pedantic league. I'm sure if ObiJo were competing, he'd be in there with us.

And i did note myself , andy and Kajun all being paired.

Along with Kitty Kat , who i think we will have to be nice to , or she will complain were breaking the rules or something.

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

one problem i might point out is that with 9 people each having to post a comic for a round the deadlines might have to stretch quite a bit

It's definitely going to be tough to deal with deadlines. I will probably make rounds last closer to 36 hours due to all the times zones and see how it goes. We don't want this Cup to drag on for 3 months, either. The two leagues will run in parallel until they merge, so it shouldn't be that bad.

I'm also using skagg's suggestion that whoever gets voted out will get to decide the rule for the next round. That should streamline things (with one rule it will be easier to make a comic) and add a nice revenge element.

In terms of the league names, I decided ahead of time that whatever league Kaufman ended up in would be the Pedantic Leauge.

I just split up the newbies so that each team had one quality newbie and one that I'm not so sure about. But other than that, I closed my eyes and poked names on a piece of paper. (Unlike wirthling, I wasn't about to write a script!)

Gee, I wonder who's gonna be eliminated first down in the Pedantic league. That whole division is filled with the big boys and then there's TheElPaso. I'm glad I didn't get put into that League.

Well, Kitty_Kat is in the same situation on the other side. I hope voting will be based on the strips and not popularity. It's fun to slap around newbies, but I think that if they do good strips it should be recognized.

I think Bogart and Mr_Kidney will make a good showing.

I don't know if I've ever seen a funny strip from Kitty_Kat. She is in a really bad position in the Tobor League. She's gonna have to pull a hell of a comic out of her ass.

while I agree with you crabby, just remember that she's prolly gonna be making the rule for round 2. so maybe goading her is a bad idea....

---
When they invent BookFace, I'm -there-.

Also remember that in the event of a tie, the one cast out will be the one with more votes against them.

Oh, I didn't tell you that yet, did I?

All I want to know is at some point do I get to cornhole somebody and go RAAAAAR??

I'm sorry, I already closed the signup. We already had 18 people, which is a lot as it is.
