    Default The Ultimate Order of the Stick Book Tournament, Round 12

    Greetings playgrounders, and welcome to
    The Ultimate Order of the Stick Book Tournament!
    Here, you can vote for your favorite of the first eight books in a double-elimination tournament. Each week I will post a new matchup. Vote in this thread, not by PM. You get one vote per person. If your post contains more than the name or abbreviation of the book's title, I ask that you bold your vote. Votes may take the form either of the book's title, the abbreviation, or the number.

    The Contestants
    Dungeon Crawling Fools
    No Cure for Paladin Blues
    War and XP
    Don't Split the Party
    Blood Runs in the Family
    On the Origins of the PCs
    The Start of Darkness
    Snips, Snails and Dragon Tales


    Although BRitF has not been released, I think that we have seen enough of it from the online strips to include it in the running.

    Last match, Start of Darkness crushed War and XP as easily as a lizardfolk with a long name. Start of Darkness will move onto the finals, while War and XP gets another chance in the loser's semifinals.


    Current Bracket Standings: clicky!

    The Current Match:
    No Cure for Paladin Blues
    vs. Blood Runs in the Family

    The winner of this match will face War and XP in the second semifinals. The loser will be eliminated from the tournament!

    The current match will end Saturday, July 12. Vote away!

    Start of Darkness, no contest.

    Wait, shouldn't this be Paladin Blues vs. Blood?

    Yeah, the Challonge bracket says that this should be NCftPB vs. BRitF. BRitF wins, easily.

    I would like to see a SoD vs. SoD final, because that would be the match-up I would have the hardest time figuring out which to vote on, but On the presumed round Book 2 vs. Book 5 I will vote for NCftPB. (And if only to avoid that the final will become a decision that already was done in round 1, though on some level we already can say that SoD would have one a single-elimination tournament)

    Well, at least I got the picture for BRiF right
    Okay, the score so far in the NCfPB vs BRiF match is 1 for NCfPB, 1 for BRiF, and 1 for SoD. Giff is free to change his vote

    In that case, Blood Runs in the Family.

    Another easy choice, Blood Runs in the Family.

    Blood Runs in the Family - The strip has had some time to evolve since the early days, and I'd argue that the past few hundred strips are much stronger than the first few hundred strips.

    Voting is now closed!
    The winner is Blood runs in the Family.
    That means that the final is guaranteed to be a rematch. But first, there is another semifinal to do...
