Ryan - hope you just forgot and that there isn't a bad reason for you not turning up to insult me!!

Oh dear. I suppose I should've remembered to check out the competition forum. I missed out on one last insult.

And I just want to tell that I voted for myself.

CaptainD · Wed 30/10/2013 12:47:25

Now, a pretty conundrum this does create... I feel it unethical to vote for myself, but if I vote for Eric so I can see the vote, and I lose by a single vote...

Ah what the hell, Eric I'm going to vote for you, because it just seems like the right thing to do.

If I lose by a single vote, so be it. (Current stas... I'm losing by a single vote!!

)

bTW Eric - whoever wins or loses, my friend, that was fun.

You dont have to vote to see the result. There is a button.

D'oh! I missed it! Now I shall lose by a single vote! The ignomy!!

I will return the favor and even out the voting! I had a great time in our insult thread as well, though I will admit this opening salvo stung a bit:

QuoteSadly, Eric, I can't diss you games, as you never have made ones

I spent the evening working on my game after hearing that one!

Stupot · Wed 30/10/2013 19:23:52

Oi, numpties! How's it gonna work with only three people in the next round?

I can see three possible scenarios for the next round:
A 3-way final with three threads, where each contender fights the other two. Then adding up the total votes for from each player's two battles to determine the overall winner.
A 3-way final in one thread with each contender taking it in turns (in some pre-determined order) to insult the one before him.
A semi final, in which the highest scoring loser from this round is given a bye into the next round setting it up for a 1-on-1 final.

If this were professional wrestling, instead of insult swordfighting, there would be a surprise dark horse entrant who would run in from the back, leap off of the ropes, insult us all into submission, and steal the crown.

I voted for Stupot+. I know it's not in my interest, but I think he got the better of me. I'm really interested in this Cap'nD vs. Eric competition, since it was in my opinion very well written on both sides: thoroughly entertaining! Miguel and Adeel were well-matched as well, but I had to give it to Miguel for the breath-through-the-speakers zinger: sorry Adeel!

I'm a little confused about how there were three matches last round AND three matches this round. Shouldn't the field start to diminish at some point? I would say go to two matches next time and resurrect the next highest ranked insulter from the ladder (there is a ladder, right?

), or do an unstructured three-way where you just respond to the last person whoever it was (as long as it wasn't you) -it'd just be too time consuming waiting for people to take their proper turns.

CaptainD · Thu 31/10/2013 12:52:14

I'm in a dead heat again!!!

Thanks Baron - I think I speak for Eric as well when I say we had a lot of fun with that round.

Andail · Thu 31/10/2013 13:53:46

Yeah the final round will be 3-way free for all fight (just no double-posting).

Adeel · Thu 31/10/2013 15:27:39

I can confidently say that all the votes are biased.

Vote for me, people. Vote for the freedom!

Well, gee, shucks. I thought we were pretty close, but I've voted for you on the basis of your response to my 'infertility' accusation. I read that to my sister and we agreed it was brilliant.

Eric · Thu 31/10/2013 17:45:19

I think Baron, Stupot+, CaptainD and I should start an anti-insult competition where we just say polite things about each other.

I say old chap that's an absolutely smashing idea!

Stupot · Thu 31/10/2013 18:09:27

After this we should start a 'remarkable ass kissing competition'

CaptainD · Thu 31/10/2013 19:09:16

Not wishing to be insulting (of course), but looking at your avatar, your face is too scary for anyone to contemplate kissing, so as for the other end...

miguel · Fri 01/11/2013 00:03:39

So, I'm not allowed to say nice things about you guys...
Is it because I'm Catholic?
