| And so, after much anticipation... I make a grammatical error and begin a sentence with a preposition. That aside, there's the small matter of getting the premier match of the Non-Prolific FAQ Writers Tournament underway! Today, to keep things simple and ensure fairly smooth running - I should be so lucky, to quote a certain Ms. Minogue, there will be only a single solitary match being played out today. That's not to say that it'll be boring.. Oh no! It just so happens that the very first match of this year's tournament will pit two of the most promising NP writers on GameFAQs.com against each other... Enter Deflux and DGordon Yes, folks, you, the voters, will have the rather daunting challenge of choosing which writers' FAQ is better. Anyone unfamiliar with the new-fangled voting system put in place for this tourney would be advised to go here first: http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=2000094&topic=12859294 Continued in next post... --- . : . : .

| Of course, before making any rash voting decisions, it is imperitive that you browse through each respective writer's document, the links to which can be found here... Deflux http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/metroid_prime_d.txt DGordon http://db.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/tiger_woods_pga_tour_golf_gba.txt ... also, if you want a detailed list of all the first round fixtures, which will updated with results as and when they come, here is a link to the official fixtures page: http://www.freewebs.com/npfwt/participants.htm Hold tight, guys and gals, one more post and voting is open! --- . : . : .

| It would be good conduct to abstain from your own matches, I feel. I can't stop anyone from doing it, but doing so might hurt your reputation more, costing other people's votes. It's your call. --- . : . : . The Fourth NPFWT . : . : . [ http://www.freewebs.com/npfwt/ ] |

| Deflux <1> - DGordon <2> Deflux, I believe that this guide uses too many boxes. I also don't like how this type of heading looks. Tallon Canyon =================================== DGordon, This is the better of the two guides, IMHO. However, I do not like how this header looks. =+=+=+=+=+= Also, sometimes the spaces look awkward in the beginning of the guide, such as in the TOC. Overall, they are both good guides, and well deserving of a spot in the tournament. --- I need a new sig. |
