Kazumi - If you're married, you understand.
Chief - Better facial hair.
Flumphs - Love for the old school, though the quote made it a close call.
and... can I put half for each? No? Yes?
This one's too close for me.

Doesn't a 96 person tournament need the top 32 seeds to get a 1st round bye?

Otherwise:

R1 96
R2 48
R3 24
R4 12
R5 6
R6 3

With the top 32 getting byes:

R1 Bottom 64 of the 96 play; top 32 seeds get byes
R2 Winners of R1 plus top 32 seeds = 64
R3 32
R4 16
R5 8
R6 4
R7 2


If you want seven rounds with no byes, you need a 128 person tournament.

In sporting contests that require 1v1, yes. But it is possible for a popularity contest to utilise 1v1v1, or 1v1v1v1, or even 1v1v1v1v1.

So yes, you've discovered the dark secret of this tournament; that the grand final will be 1v1v1. I'm sorry to have deceived you all.

In light of the recent broken glass/tree conspiracy to take out Rich, the update schedule on this thread has changed to 'at some point after a sufficient number of votes has been reached, and no votes have been submitted in the past few days.' If voter turnout burns out completely (a possibility now that people won't be flocking to the forums as a comic is uploaded), then I'll just put this on hiatus until Rich recovers.

"You know, I had a lot of time while I couldn't speak to think about my life. And more than anything else, I found that I really missed saying just three little words that meant so much to me, personally. SNEAK ATTACK - BITCH!"

I think my posts look nicer with a small bit of extra room at the top.

Haley Starshine VS Evisceratus
Haley Starshine

Kilkil VS Mr. Phil Rodriguez
"...But now we must defend ourselves against two highly-skilled legal professionals--"
"Kitty kitty! Hello kitty kitty! Hello!"
"--ONE highly-skilled legal professional and one man in a very expensive suit."
Easy. Mr. Phil Rodriguez

Inkyrius VS Thor
Thor

Samantha VS Lien
"Death? Destruction? Meaningless carnage? Sounds like my kind of party!"
"Aunt Judy? Is that you?"
Actually not Samantha, but Lien. I've just always liked that quote.

Huh.

Evisceratus, for the sheer will to punish Evil when being lv 1 Commoner.

Kilkil. Qualified Fugitive Assistance Program.

Inkyrius. One banana nut muffin, please.

Lien. Samantha would be better off if the contest was named Most Dumb and Unsympathetic Character.
