If you're referring to the fact that this was already stuck when you saw my post, it's because I stuck this right after I made my post. I'll stick the YMB2.

I meant how we are already into Round 3 and you stuck it. Nevertheless, hopefully it gives some ++voting from the community, since we really can't decide Round 3 and 4 winners on eight votes. :/

I realize that the majority wins thing always applies, but I'd rather have thirty people vote as opposed to eight. Even if the thirty people are heavily biased and the eight people are split even, the thirty people carry more weight on what the forum as a whole perceives of the two members. Whereas, the eight people, despite them being balanced, only depict a smaller popularion of the forum itself (of the active members, of course). If more people were active, we'd have better battles in general, just because people would want to contact others to vote up one guy, and the opponents would vote up the other, as opposed to eight people forming opinions and that sets the course of the battles.

See, mods aren't [i]better[/i] members, nor are they generally nicer or anything. In fact, if I had to generalize, I like the General population moreso than the mod team as a whole. However, the mod team is extremely popular. Someone pitched in earlier that the finalists (three of them, if we are following my plan) should not be allowed in YMB2, and now I agree completely. They would be an instant auto-win, but the same also goes with mods. Granted, some mods are not so popular and it'd be close as to if they won a round or two or not, but if we are letting some mods in, it seems really subjective to pick-and-choose which mods are [i]too[/i] popular.

From what I see, the only restrictions for YMB2 should be [b]moderators[/b] and the [b]three finalists of YMB1[/b].

Guys, CERTAIN people are taking these polls too seriously. I cba to see if this has been discussed. Something has to change.

You can't stop the entire brawl because some people want to act like idiots. Just restrict them from posting in the thread; that is honestly the best you can do.

LolBlack.

And Ties should count.
[/quote]

No, ties should not count. It ruins the member count for the next rounds. If a tie does occur, extend the poll for 24 hours and check back to see if the tie was broken.

Shouldn't 3-3 and 3-4 be over now? Who won, if I may ask?

woah wtf

Saturn beat Strawberry?

Yet another bet I lost. Maybe I can win the Ice/Cherry one, I don't know. That's a bit [i]too[/i] close, and I'm losing my bets left and right. <___<

No one did this yet?

YMB 3-3: Ice vs. Cherry

[b]Ice: 13 Votes
[/b]Cherry: 12 Votes

YMB 3-4: SaturnPaladin vs. Strawberry-Nii-Chan

[b]SaturnPaladin[/b]: 14 Votes
Strawberry-Nii-Chan: 3 Votes
---

So just 3-5 and 3-6 left, and then we'd only have six members left. This is winding down really fast. D:

I don't know who Darksage is, but Death Metal and Strawberry were [i]very tough[/i] matchups, but I'm amazed you pulled through this far. Have fun in Round 4, where pretty much everybody will be popular. Everything is a tough matchup then, so don't feel so alone. :]

Yeah, no kidding. I thought I was going to be SLAUGHTERED by Death Metal and Strawberry - as they're practically household names on YCM.

Apparently, Dark Sage was some troll.

Yeah, Round 4 is like a Nightmare... anyone up against Dark or Clair... well, say goodbye.

nowai how the hell did saturn beat a troll

You forget: I haven't made it into Round 4 yet. Despite your views, I still consider our battle to be a heated one. I guess I'm doubting my own popularity, but being an ass to literally [i]everyone[/i] doesn't get you far in these types of contests.

So reveals another huge difference between real life and the internet: you can get away with being an ass on the internet, and it will result in popularity.

You won't believe how many times I've been shunned for being brutally blunt, but I guess people in the real world can't accept facts as easily. :/

Either way, I hope it's a close battle, because one-sided battles are ugly, especially when you bet on the losing person. Then you just look like an idiot. <___<

*wakes up. goes to aboslute powerforce. notices that black says I won.*

Wow.

Honestly, both of my previous rounds are like Turnabouts. I'm losing like hell, noting left to do.

Then, magic happens.

Anyways, next round will definitely be me VS Clair.

That's probably what made me lose Round 2 : D
