I can now confirm then, that as the poll selected to provide 2 wildcards to the next round,
Kylarnatia will face Crontor
and
The Grand World Order will face The Macabees.
I'll get the threads up soon.

This should be, uh, interesting.

Kyle vs. Crontor. I think irony just set in.

What have you done...

Is there something I'm missing? :unsure:

The relationship between Crontor and Kylarnatia is not the rosiest romance in western literature.

I nominate Maltropia for the NationStates Understatement of the Year award.

This is almost as good an idea as landing on an enemy shore and having your soldiers disembark in a line formation.

Not friends?

OK, the fire in the lumber mill is going to be lit. Crontor v.s. Kylarnatia will be posted soon.

I was thinking something along these lines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankees%E2 ... ox_rivalry

Or 2 Pac and Biggie, or Real Madrid and Barcelona, etc.

This is by far the most intriguing and compelling first round matchup. This would be a worthy Pay-Per-View event.

Vak, you have just created a maelstrom that will decimate this contest. It is imperative that you reorganize the match so that Crontor nor Kylarnatia meet this round. There are reasons Cron and Kyle do not talk; they don't like each other. Plain and simple. If you want to reignite their hatred, which will lead to a flamewar, then be my guest. You caused it. Now, if the match continues, which I would actually love to witness (but I will likely not vote due to the close personal relationships I have with Cron and Kyle), then do be sure to closely monitor the match. We don't need the claws coming out… or do we?

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry pales in comparison.

On another note, count me in as a Pay-Per-View customer. I cannot wait for the fists to start flying.

Let them fight.

Tiami, their won't be a flamewar. Trust me on this one...their won't be a flamewar. If their is, it will be very quickly reported.

It gets the moral claus in my head of 'only report things to the mods if they actually effect me' as it will effect my reputation.

I could arrange that. I'll host it on a special offsite forum, it's $5 to register. You in?

I even got a promotional piece for it:

No, I have an rp sample from you and the Batorys, and none from Fanboy or Virana.

I can unconditionally say that asking for rp samples has been a complete failure. Starting next round, I'll attempt to find them.

Vak, you better watch IRC (I know mods don't moderate IRCs) because it will happen there.
To be straightforward: Who gives a damn about reputation. I don't do anything on NS for reputation. I do what I do for fun. Reputation is useless.

I mean my reputation as a far judge, not as an rper.
Which IRC channels do you think will get the most bad traffic?
