Ok, so lets pretend we agreed to this. There's two ways to play. 1 is ballots like the regular showdowns. The other is just post counts. So lets take a look at that. But lets also cut out anyone who hasn't posted in... say... 3 months. And has had at least 5 posts in the last year (thrown in to address someone).

What say you?

Or ballots?

Or not do it at all?


EDIT: I don't want to do the work again so if we agree on doing the post count I'm sticking with this. Even if people post and change their order.

[MTA: brackets to top post for finding and viewing ease]

[punk/core]

Oh... reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllll convenient to start this mere HOURS after you have that awesome MS Paint run.

I'm on to your games.

Smell that?

*sniff sniff*

Yep, that's conspiracy.

[Lucky]

Think, man. If it was a conspiracy would I match myself up against AA'S WIFE!?!?

AA is the bane of my competition existence! And now his wife has the chance!

[Andy]

That looks good. Let's do it.

[Tommy]

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

For the record, I just did up the brackets and this lineup has some really high potential 2nd round, Sweet 16, and Elite 8 matchups. If ranks or my suspicions hold up then there's really some fine and cool matchups to be seen. I won't run them off because I don't want to influence things but just my potential matchups alone are feud worthy. If I can make it past a 1st round Cinderalla story and a monster 8 seed in the 2nd Rd.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I wonder if anyone is gonna get the "But it's Owen" treatment...

[Lucky]

God I hope so.

I already see a few potential fireworks in the 1st Rd.

[Byrntrigan]

Or the ever popular "I have respect for both so let's not discuss anything" treatment.

[Eric O'Mac]

I'm calling Angry Dan over Sergei in Round 1.

Haha, yeah, right. Like that's gonna happen at all.

Nevermind. I can't sleep.

Of course if people don't like this we can still go with ballots. I just can't sleep.

[punk/core]

God damn. You weren't kidding.

[creepy]

I have a feeling that I'm gonna be one and done.

[Jobber Blitz]

Oh, come on. Being a girl should account for +3000 posts, because we all know there is going to be a lot of favouritism there. Because when a great rulebreaking badass like me goes up against a vagina, I have no chance.

Or maybe people just don't like me.

[Andy]

So even if I get past Dragon I more than likely have Pun next. Jeez thanks Lucky.

Go denverpunk!

[BTR]

Or in the unlikely event I get past BC I have to take on the bracket maker himself, LuckyLopez.

I mean, if this were 2005 I might beat him. But I'm on my last legs here!

[BTR]

How about you give me 12 hours to bump my post count and hurdle past OBJ and take his spot?

[BTR]

Whaddaya say?

[BTR]

Huh?

Yeah, but most of your posts are a lot more memorable than mine (even if it's just because you are pissing people off), so you got that going for you.

[Road Warrior Shark]

I like the 64 bracket. Is there any admin or Mod function to show post counts for just the past year? Since it is a poster of the YEAR showdown, that seem slike a more accurate way to seed the bracket.

If not someone should copy the postcounts into a thread an lock it so next year, the seeding can be done as such

[Lucky]

If Pun or someone else knows how to do that, let me know. But I don't. I would have gladly done (Top 64 post counts of 2008) if I knew how to. But I don't anticipate doing the math myself on 64+ posters next year and their post counts.

BTR, I'm in deep fear of you myself. I got a hard road for a 1 seed. You're a monster 8 seed and if I get past you I get the likely winner of Tommy/Fire. And then my 2 is Byrne who everyone (except me) loves. That's a bitch of a bracket.

I almost let Lori in just to change the brackets.

[OpTard]

i've never heard of murgen, which makes me think i have a chance against him, but that eric is gonna be a tough in round 2. i should start my anti-eric campaign right now.

i'd also like to take the cory route and be given a day to make 900 posts, as mike's bracket is alot more appealing to me than mine.

[Road Warrior Shark]

I'd do the math. A simple excel worksheet would take care of it.
