First off, did you submit a character? Yes.
Do you feel us organizers have done a good job? If not, please specify. Yes.
What do you think of the Pre-Round system? Is it a good system or does it need amending? I felt that it accomplished exactly what it was supposed to and worked very well.
What are your thoughts about the Divisions? Are they a good way to categorize characters? Anything else about the Divisions? The Divisions worked fine IMO. I don't see any reason to change them in the future.
Two characters were disqualified (Petey Piranha and Potato)? Do you think that excluding those from the competition was the right thing to do? It seemed fair enough, though since Potato was withdrawn prematurely in the first competition I suppose an argument could be made for him to have been allowed. Still, it seemed fair.
Twice in the Snowstorm Divisions, there was a draw. In both cases, the characters were "merged". Do you think this was a good solution? If not, what do you think that would be a better alternative? I didn't have any problem with the merging of characters since all of the creators were fine with it. I do however think that there should be a better solution in the event that creators do not want their characters merged. Whether it's a rematch or just an extension of time until one more person places a vote, (the latter seems like a better idea), something should be devised before next year for situations like this.
There was quite a lot of supporting artwork for the competition (Versus pictures, brackets, trailer). Do you think those were designed nicely? Was there enough supporting artwork? If not, please describe an alternative. I think there was plenty of supporting artwork and I can think of no way that it could be improved. I just don't see how anything can get better than this:
This competition was run by two persons. Should there have been more, less, or was two just the right number? I think you two are the only ones who could accurately answer this question. I think you both did a great job, but if it was too much work than maybe another member or two could help out next time. I think that there should be at least two in charge to avoid any sort of corruption though.
Did you think the idea of an "Intermezzo match" was good enough to keep for years to come? It was a good way to settle an old fight, but as things currently stand there doesn't seem to be any sort of unresolved fight from this year. I could take it or leave it either way, honestly.
Do you have any other comments on this year's competition or are there any suggestions for 2008? I don't have any suggestions for next, though I do have a general comment...
Ninja-Zombie's final match was somewhat frustrating to me at first...How could Ninja-Zombie lose to a character(s) simply because it looked funny and had a funny name? It bothered me a lot until FISSURE also lost to him/it...and as it turned out, I did even better than FISSURE against Mr. Tommy Wrongkudan:
Ninja-Zombie #1459320340 - 14 (41.2%)
Mr. Tommy Wrongkudan - 20 (58.8%)
Mr. Tommy Wrongkudan - 29 (69%)
FISSURE - 13 (31%)
That surprised me quite a bit and made me feel better. I have to wonder if I would have won against FISSURE...According to both polls I would have, but at the same time I think I would have lost by a landslide, (there was such overwhelming support for FISSURE...how could I have won?).
NEW QUESTIONS EDIT:What was your favorite part of the competition? What would you like to see more of? Honestly, that's a very hard question. I guess I would have to say my favorite part of the competition was the all the shenanigans and various propaganda within each match's thread. Also, I enjoyed the signatures. Maybe in the next competition make it a requirement to make a signature...I guess that doesn't really matter a whole lot.
How often did you vote? Every time.
What aspects of the characters influenced your vote? Eg. Art, Story... It depended on the matches. Overall I always voted for the character with the best combination of art and story. If there was a character with a very good story but not-so-good art versus a character with very good art but a nonexistent story, I would choose the character with the better story....hands down.
