I'll be voting Izou, Perona and Big Mam. Anyone want to try and tempt me for other votes?
Preliminary Rounds Discussion
-
-
So far, two out of the three ASL brothers have passed their preliminaries (Luffy on an auto-pass), so Ace needs to make it as well. Make sure to vote for the man who wanted nothing more than to exist and protect his younger brother…
-
-
I don't have much time today and tomorrow, so i'll vote Perona, Sanji, Hody and Ace. And for a first campaign on a fifth page whoever that will be) I'm too lazy to decide otherwise today
-
What a travesty to have Akainu lose in the preliminaries.
-
Akainu lost to Hancock? Hahahaha, this made my day.
-
Not as much of a travesty as Tashigi tying for last place during her prelim… :ninja:
Seriously, though, Akainu still put up one hell of a fight. He was only a handful of votes away from taking fourth. Considering who the competition was, his loss was inevitable, I'd say…
-
It was a tough prelim, and I honestly expected Akainu to get 6th. I'm disappointed that we got so close, but hey, it was a good effort all around.
I kinda expected Chopper, Dragon, and Hancock to run away with the round, and that definitely didn't happen.
-
Akainu… didn't make it through...
GUFAAAAAAAAAAW
Clifford lost.
Hurp. -
Looking at her opponents Big Mam might not make it. Dammit, she would need more screen-time to convince people of her greatness. :|
Concerning the eighth match – honestly I'm surprised that Kinemon made it. He's an interesting character and all but who would've thought that his fanbase would be that big? Kudos to his supporters; good job getting him to the next round.
-
Personally I think it's great how Wanze beat sandersonia and marigold.
-
Yeah, I was pretty surprised that he beat out Akainu and gave Hancock some stiff competition earlier on (though, Hancock gets a lot of hate, so it's understandable how it happened). I'm sure that Kinemon will earn even more fans for next year once his role in the current storyline comes to a close…
As for the current round, it's obvious which characters will take the top two spots, but I'm hoping Perona manages to snag one of the remaining two. She has a decent following, so she should do well. I'd campaign for her, but I'm wiped out after this last prelim...
@piratemarimo: How he managed to pull that off, I'll never know. What I do know is that I was very disappointed by that fact... :getlost:
-
Perona shouldn't have any problems surviving the battle. She's already in the top spots now (currently leading if I'm not mistaken) and I'm fairly positive that that won't change.
-
And to that, I say "HOROHOROHOROHORO!"
-
I'll attempt to campaign tomorrow, my izou stuff isn't ready!
-
@CaptainPage: Don't hesitate for too long, or it could cost Izo precious votes. I'm still kicking myself for starting my Tashigi campaign pretty late in the game…
-
I had a dream that Akainu got past the prelims…
I don't even particularly like him, it must have been those wacky campaigns. -
That sounds like Akainu's dream of killing both Ace and Luffy at the Marineford war…
-
@ Mugen: I've got a few things. Happy Harpy? Nope, it's FABULOUS Izou now!
-
The race 2nd, 3rd and 4th place is pretty close in match 9. And they all keep change places for their spots.
-
@ Sano your campain seem to be really effective. I'd ask you to tell me you secret (for a good campain) but I know you wouldn't tell me either way.
-
Well im going to have to concede in this one, i fought the good fight for old hody jones but it seems it was a fight he never could have ranked in. Oh well, i did my best and thats good enough for me i suppose.
-
Today's match'll be fun whenever it starts.
I mean.
Iceburg and Tyrannosaurus.
You guys better vote -
Iceburg you say? Why wouldn't you vote for diamonds? :ninja:
-
This post is deleted!
-
The whole Perona thing confuzzles me. Lots and lots of people always seem to hate on her and she's treated like One Piece's scrappy, yet she's up there with Ace, Kizaru, and Fisher Tiger. I hope it's cause her abilities are h4x.
(and if Iceburg doesn't get in, then there will be an unhealthy amount of shame in every corner of this entire forum)
-
Once again, for the second year in a row, I won't be able to campaign for Laboon because I've been saddled with too much to do
CAMPAIGN FOR ME PLEASE, get him past the prelims and I promise I've got some awesome campaigns in store for you all when his proper match comes
-
@Gliblord: Hey, if Hoe can beat out the younger Boa sisters, Laboon should do pretty damn well. Not sure if he'll do well enough to claim one of the four spots, considering that there's only two spots that are open at best, but Laboon's definitely getting a vote from me…
-

Sorry, I'm rather busy as well, but the least I can do is vote for him.
-
If my computer wasn't dead without a charger, I would try campaigning for Laboon :(
-
hmmm, need to see who was on that match again….
! 1. Iceburg and Tyrannosaurus
- Yeti Cool Brothers
- Elder Nyon
- Johnny & Yosaku
- Roger
- Jabura
- Brook
- Lafitte
- Shanks
- Spacey & Friends
- Laboon
- Chimney & Gonbe
- Surume
- Gan Fall
- Richie
damn. That's tough competition. I want to vote for the ones in bold, except I get the feeling that T-Rex is gonna be competing with Laboon. Iceburg gives the mouse an edge. people seem to love him more than they love rumbar pirates. But Brook and Laboon simply have to both get it. I definitely need to campaign for Spaceys… I might campaign for Laffitte even though he'll likely get slaughtered in this. Brook and Shanks are getting top tier votes for sure. Either way it's gonna be a brutal match.
-
So… I'm gonna try to forget match #9 as soon as possible. Let's go, match #10!
-
! ACE WON BY ONE VOTE!!!
-
omg…perona by 1 VOTE...!!
-
Pfff, Perona eliminated at the last second after she's been in front of Ace by many votes the whole day…come on, who's gonna believe that? :getlost:
-
One vote at the last second won Ace the match. Where was that vote during Tashigi vs. Zeff, I ask you?!
Don't feel too bad, Perona, since you still held that lead over Ace all through the match. Maybe you'll get in next year…
I'm surprised Kizaru did so well, though. Tiger claiming a spot was a given, of course...
-
Ace winning by one vote is kind of ironic. Reminds me of a certain match…
-
One reason Perona was ahead of Ace for so long is because fans thoguht Ace was so secure that some (me) didn't seriously campain until late. I was actually asleep for most of the last part of the match and didn't start unitl one hour before the end of match when I woke up.
I won't be doing that with some seriously favorite characters that I know aren't as popular- like Yasopp & Nojiko (both match 11) and Whitey Bay.
-
Congrats to the Ace fans for the ongoing supports , and sorry for the Perona fans
I am actually rather suprised Tiger did so well seeing most people were dissapointed by him (me included)
-
I wanted to say thanks in match 9 tread, but I didn't get there on the time - it was closed already
! guys want to say "thank you"
! >! -
I thought Ace would do a lot better, but I guess Marineford really cost the guy some fans that not even Luffy's flashback could earn back…
Perona shouldn't take the loss all that hard, since she found Kumacy (his body, anyway) recently...
-
Ace is a bitch that's gonna kill himself first round anyway. I'm campaigning against him so hard in the first round. Nobody beats my ghost princess at the last second and gets away with it!!!

Is anti-campaigning allowed this year?
If people don't cross the line I think it would spice up the tournament quite a bit, but I guess the mods don't want to risk anything?
-
I'm pretty sure the rules thread said anti-campaigns aren't allowed. Besides, given the results of this past prelim, would anti-campaigns directed at Ace even be necessary? He only won by one vote at the last second…
-
No anti-campaigning guys, come on. You know by now. Then again, I guess most of you are 2011'ers that are saying this.
-
My bad. I just meant I would campaign for whoever he's up against :ninja:
-
That was a REAALLY disappointing last match. Now I'm running low on characters to actually root for next round. sigh

It's not a pumpkin? D:

Pumpkins were more Gan Fall's bag, though…
Speaking of the one true God, you guys should go vote for him...
