I just realised that it's been almost five years since Gabe was declared the winner of Comic Cup XIV. 

Do you think there would be interest in reviving the format for a 2015 Cup? We could see if we could lure any of the old hands into entering, and also some of the folk who seem to post comics regularly but don't come onto the forums.

 

 

 

As the winner of Comic Cup XIII, I hereby formally toss my hat into the ring for Comic Cup XV. 

 

Sounds like a lot of fun. 

I'm in as well.

YES.

Don't call it a comeback, I been lurkin' for years.

I'd be in.

Winner of the first-ever Comic Cup here.  I welcome the chance to reprise my victory.

Sure, why not.

Yes?

That's eight including me, which I guess we could do a mini-tournament. It would be good if we could get up to sixteen for a full bracket though.

I'm in.  What the heck, I've lost almost every competition I've entered so I'd sure hate to miss the opportunity to lose this one as well.  Bring it on!

If there's room for one more, I'll give it a shot. What are the rules?

Hi Porternotes!

We're still trying to rustle up a few more people to make up the numbers. Once the tournament starts, you'll be drawn against somebody, and given a set of rules. Each of you will then have to make a comic complying with those rules. All the other contestants then vote on which comic was the best, and the winner goes through to the next round.

I'm still holding out hope that we can get sixteen people, but I've worked out a way of doing it if we get twelve, where we'd have 1 vs 1 for the first round, then three way battles for the second round with the two people with the most votes going through to the semi final.

 

I don't have a gauntlet to throw down, but I can throw in a slightly musky smelling winter glove I found in my car. 

 

If you need numbers count me in.

 

 

I won one of these, once. 

 

When Dinosaurs ruled the earth.

 

And Gabe Billings was a Magnificent Bastard. And Tobor cornholed everyone, and Kaufman made puns, and Andy Dougan was pish, and Kajun Firefly and KvK spent hours every night drunkenly trying to outdo one another (not with actual comics, just Whisky). And the Forum User's characters were relevant because they were of active Forum Users.

 

So yeh. Did I say I was in? Speak up sonny, I'm a little deaf these days.

If it comes down to needing one more for 12 or 16, I could give it a shot as well otherwise no big deal. It seems the only way I can come up with a good idea is if someone else gives a few rules to follow.

2003 checking in. If someone wants to win a first round, add me to the line up. ;)

That's fourteen people now including me. Two more - we can do this!

The bad news is that at least 6 of those 14 people won't return to the site for atg least 3 more years.

Fuck it, fifteen is enough. Let's get this train wreck on the road.

I'll get a draw done today and start the proper thread in the Competitions forum.

The Cup is still in round 1; pop on over to the official thread and see if you can squeak in.

We could fit you in! There's a three way deathmatch in round 1, we could split that into two 1v1 rounds.
