2-2, the first draw so far! In the case of a draw I nullify my vote, it's your choice who goes through, not mine.

Kefka vs Rubicant
Lamia Queen vs Chaos
Kraken vs Shinryu
Doom Gaze vs Ice Gigas
Tiamat vs Enkidoh
X-Death vs King Behemoth
Ahriman vs Zeromus
Twin Tania vs Sandy, Cindy, Mindy
Fire Gigas vs Dark Cloud
Omniscient vs SrBehemoth
Magimaster vs Medusa
Garland vs Shinobi
Ultros vs Behemoth
Lugaborg vs Warmech
Omega vs Atma
Lich vs Gilgamesh

So first up it's

Omniscient

vs

SrBehemoth

Let the battle begin

I choose SrBehemoth

SrBehemoth

I guess I'll go with SrBehemoth.

Omniscient. I just like him more than SrBehemoth.

SrBehemoth

Hm.. yeah, SrBehemoth.

SrBehemoth

SrBehemothOmniscient is a total Drakan from IX.

Wow, this thrad hadn't been posted in nearly a month. If the rumble managers' forget to update these rumbles, then they just sort of get forgotten about until somebody wandering through sees it and revives it.


I just checked barretboy14's profile and it says his last activity anywhere on the Shrine was on September 28, 2006. So I'd say he's MIA and we're SOL, unless somebody else is interested in taking over managing duties for this rumble.

maybe somebody should PM joey..

Not sure if that was sarcastic or not since lately you have shown some hostility towards me, but I really have no interest in running this.

Sorry.

you can spit at me all you want but some of Agent0042's comments and probably other Grand Shriner's have put you in your sensitive position. I'm not going to quote because that would be near-defaming a respected member.

And I wasn't being sarcastic. I looked back at the post and saw that it does seem that way, but wasn't going to clarify it unnecessarily without a challenge. Then I thought that the proper protocol would be for an administrator to request permission from the thread starter or current thread manager before having someone else pick it up.

Either way I wasn't intending it to be an aggressive statement.

Erm, right. Not sure what that's all about, but anyway, someone can PM barretboy if they want. However, since he hasn't been online, it may be a moot point. In any case, if this is going to continue, it's probably going to need a new manager. (And it ain't gonna be me, as I already have General FF Rumble and FFIX Millionaire to run.)

Erm, right. Not sure what that's all about



Me either but I just play along.

uh huh...

If you've already attempted to contact Barret-boy than I'm not going to. As you say Agent0042 he's conisderably absent anyway and this thread will go unfinished if somebody doesn't do something and I've got just enough free time before next week, so:





SrBehemoth - 7

Ominscient - 1

and the upright flame-maned horse-muscle-toned tallies forward.

Just to get it out of the way lets do:

Magimaster vs Medusa

I'm voting for Magimaster just because he's the more attractive of the pair.

Haven't played too many classics to really give descriptions but whichever fans do know about them and want this rumble going then here's their chance.

Magimaster is definitely the better choice to me here.

Magimaster is definitely the better choice to me here.

And the Master of Mages conjures past the tripe of a sub-boss Medusa three-O.

Next up is the first boss from FFI and an inspiration for the overseer of Terra commonly recognized from IX:

Garland.


Against a seemingly standard brand of baddie:

Shinobi.

Also known as Red Shinobi his waterfall hideout gives something to be desired after collecting the spoils.

Going for Garland out of his providing contentfully challenging battles in the series.

Oh I totally didn know this rumble existed.

Garland for me please

Garland

Gonna have to be Garland --- I don't have any idea about that other one.

BTW, Arcanine, will you be maintaining the list now of current / eliminated competitors?

Yes, I uh, just haven't quite took the time to find out how to do that strike-through formatting as it's not part of the forum's post document program.

Garland

Do you know any HTML? If so, then just use the code "strike" like you would any other HTML tag.

Garland-6

Shinobi-0

With turn-ups like this the second bracket of the tourney should provide for some better contending, which shouldn't be too long now:

Ultros vs Behemoth
Lugaborg vs Warmech
Omega vs Atma
Lich vs Gilgamesh


Ultros - A man-eating squid that might have a brother in the Water Cavern in IV. This one not as vulnerable to Lit and much harder to down as well makes several appearance through VI and eventually ends up working at a colloseum with Chupon.

vs

Behemoth - The common beast of it's kind this II version participates in an arena scene. Though not as challenging as it's current rival it's role it's somewhat entertaining.



Behemoth sounds right for me seeing as involved Ultros was he never made it out of the nintendo market besides being in remakes.



Edit: Don't know how this got behind two voters but not going to repost..

Garland.

Ultros, easily.

Ultros --- he's in my signature!


And Arcanine, that happened due to a problem with the internal time on the boards yesterday. It appears to have been fixed now, though.

Ultros claims his place in the ranks due to affection.



Next we have:

Lugaborg - Cyborg version of Professor Lugae this take on Hojo terrorizes the Eblana family by experimenting on Edge's parents among other duties for his master Golbez.

Warmech/Death Machine - This cantankerous optional boss's difficulty is comparable to that of Ozma(IX) and is found in much the same way as the pinkpuffs in IV when on the Adamant Armour quest.




that happened due to a problem with the internal time on the boards yesterday. It appears to have been fixed now, though.

Yeah I checked out the forums after that post, that was fun to read about:


ITS A RIP IN THE SPACE TIME CONTINUIM!

I actually remember Lugaborg. Interesting boss, so that gets my vote.

---Resigned.

Oy, I guess we need another new manager for this then.

This thread seemed to have died... I'm here to revive it, if I can!

Current vote status is:
Lugaborg - 1 vote
Warmech - 0 votes

I'll leave this battle open for a bit longer and see if anyone wants to cast a vote.

Warmech. I haven't gotten far enough in IV to see Lugaborg.

Well, it's all tied up so far, so SUDDEN DEATH! next vote wins!

What the hell is this?

3 votes and it is done? Well, it makes some sense since this is one of the more unpopular rumbles but still.

What are we going to do? Nobody is voting. Why don't you vote, Joey?

Haha I meant to but I got sidetracked.


Lugaborg

Oops, I forgot to vote too! Anyway, I vote for Lugaborg since I haven't played FFI (not including DoS). This could stay open for longer, I guess, but if more votes don't come in I'll end it.

I think this Thread should be restarted. It's getting hard for me to figure out what's going on, and someone new might be deterred from voting for that reason alone.

I agree. I think I'll start one with FF Classics Heroes next.

Capital idea. It would certainly be appreciated.
