Stay classy, fellas. But I enjoy a good fight so I'll be looking forward to the match. Speaking of which… would it be possible to start it before the current one ends? I won't have much time to campaign since I've to work but I want to at least post for 1-2 hours before heading out.

I have a personal policy against starting matches early when the previous match is close. Kureha vs. Tashigi is still relatively close and starting RvsO now may potentially take votes away from that.
-
But looking at the current result while taking into account the past matches' total number of votes plus number of potential voters left it's pretty safe to say that Tashigi's got this one.
-
Doesn't really matter does it? :ninja: it's over when it's over and it'll start when it'll start.
-
Next up, the anticipated Robin vs Otohime match…..
-
It's over, and Tashigi won. Hell, yeah! Thanks to all of you who voted for her, and we'll see you in Round 2…
Tashigi dominated the match since late last night, so the reference is still valid. :ninja:
Robin vs. Otohime is next, huh? Should be a good match. I'll be voting for Robin…

Sick campaigning, and this one was probably the best.
Well deserved victory

Sorry, but we don't cater to single individuals and when it's convenient for them.

Splendidly stated.
-
@Jabra: Thanks, and hopefully things go as well for your long-lost sister…
-
Robin already had her time in the sun… she doesn't need to make it past this round.. :ninja:
-
I suppose so, but even if she does make it past this round, what are the odds she'll take the whole tourney again?

Exactly, you didn't see WB or Luffy winning the whole thing two years in a row, right?
-
Congrats Mugen, it's your victory ;)
Even among some heavy Tashigi-dislike, you proved her worthy to advance! Well done ;D Keep it up in the next round! -
Thanks, Nolus.
Hopefully I can come up with more campaigns once Round 2 rolls around…

If I have any ideas for some good campaigns, I'll be sure to make them and support Tashigi with both my vote and pictures ;)
-
Now is time to raise up the Otohime flag!!
VOTE OTOHIME!

Good, because I really enjoyed the Marine campaign you contributed…

Eesh, what happened? Did the Makino wagon give up after the Franky train plowed threw us?
OF COURSE NOT!
WE'VE REBUILT OURSELVES!
BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER
I GIVE YOU KOS-MAKINO!
HAI-PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

Vote for KOS-MAKINO!

These matches will get awesum:
11. Blackbeard vs Magellan
12. Garp vs Luffy
14. Kuma vs Kizaru
15. Chopper vs Sabo
16. Dragon vs Whitebeard
17. Shanks vs Fisher Tiger
22. Rayleigh vs Jimbei
27. Smoker vs Benn Beckman
30. Nami vs Hattori (just because of the majority of Hattori-Avatars here)
31. Eustass vs LawThough what I saw from the last matches, I can see a trend here:
Chars who appeared recently in the story or chars who ARE currently in the story have a higher chance to win a match.
Exceptions are all time fav-chars like Shanks or Dragon.
I-seriously-DK who to vote for in #31, but when I go from 1st impression I'd vote for Law. His tattoos and his hoody shirt were just too awesum in ch. 498… -
So, here's something I've been wondering while reading through the latest match: why are characters who have previously won tournaments not excluded from participating the next one? I mean, obviously people aren't into the idea of a character winning twice, so putting previous winners on probation for a year or two seems like the best way to resolve the issue. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Well, Robin still seems to be getting quite a lot of votes, so my guess is that the people who aren't into the idea of a character winning twice are a minority (albeit a more vocal one).

It's really up to you guys how you vote. If people aren't into the idea of a character winning twice, then they shouldn't vote for that character again. If that character was to actually win again, that meant people were into the idea.

Hm BB vs. Magellan next.
Guess this will be the tournaments first real slaughter. I say 50 : 250

Sounds pretty accurate.

I don't think Blackbeard will lose that badly…...
Then again, Venomous Warden's Magellan campaigns are pretty damn good…...

The MagEnel alliance stands united in this one.

27. Smoker vs Benn BeckmanBeckman is overrated. It'll be a massacre, especially with the creepiness of Smoker-Tashigi in the manga for the past couple months
-
By the way, is it a running gag or a mistake that Jinbe's name is always written differently?
22. Rayleigh vs Jimbei
Seen it a couple of times now, but his name was romanized in one of the data books, as far as I know.
-
I don't know. Some of the event mods write it different. We try to keep with the same spelling, but it doesn't always work out.
I use Jinbe but I use to write it Jimbei like everyone else.
Hilariously enough I think I wrote that, though.
-
I use Jimbei or Jinbei. I don't care what the data books say, it's still pronounced the same. I just cannot get behind the "Jinbe" spelling for some reason.
It doesn't help that Viz and Funimation use "Jimbei" either.
-
I blame you then!
-
I didn't tell you to write it that way. :ermm:
Not that I am complaining.
-
As a stickler for language, I try to respect the intended spelling of names once I learn it. It's why a little part of me dies when I see stuff like Ussop, Brooke and Hordy.
That said, the fandom was saying Moria and Jimbei for so so long before those were romanized that I actually don't mind. But I do prefer Jinbe and Moriah.
-
Mispellings irritate me most of the time, but there are times when the official spelling is a little weird for me. I'd always written Jinbei.
-
Hordy.
This one always makes me laugh. It just sound so silly and wrong. Even if that was the correct spelling, I'd still be laughing at it.
-
My time is fast approaching once again
[hide][/hide]
-
I'll be voting for Mechagellan…
-
Hordy has to be the worst one, not counting all those terrible manga translations of the shichibukai.
That said, I'd liked Oz better than Oars :c

This, so much.

The worst "misspelling" (or rather just a complete screw up instead of a simple misspelling) ever has got to be Dachshund Binami :P.
As for the upcoming match: Go Magellan! :D

That's nothing compared to the legendary "Bisoromi Bear" (Kuma) and "Tanjihado Lofulamingo" in their introduction chapter. Sorry that I can't find the actual page right now, it's hilarious. Might still be on mangareader actually.
