Thanks, I appreciate it (I had some internet connection troubles).
Although that isn't how I was gonna do it (I was unclear in the rules;
we were gonna go division by division, but we can get through round 2
in division 1, then move onto division 2; my bad), it's fine for
tonight. I'll update the bracket. Thanks again! --- Randomize() "Women are like Voltron - the more you can hookup, the better it gets." | Y.T.W.S.R - I.W.W.H.T.Q |

Oops. Sorry. I pretty much thought it meant that we went with one
division at a time until a winner came out of the division, then we
moved to the next. Anywho, vote time: 1 - Super Slash 20 - A Darkstar Ripclaw --- Game Collection: http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?&lid=100018&owner=PeTeRL90&mode=vown |

5 - snkupo (kupo is similar to SS, but I find his style of format and writing to be a tad easier to go with). 20 - A Darkstar Ripclaw (All the love in the world for A.K.A., but Darkstar has a GODLY Warlocked FAQ. That thing is the nuts). --- 72 FAQs for games never covered at www.GameFAQs.com. DIVISION 6: WORD |

5 - snkupo - I actually like snkupo's work. Aside from the flaws
of it being somewhat cluttered sometimes (some more mini-section
dividers in the walkthrough between your large, full-length headers in
the walkthrough sections of such games as Scurge: Hive can help, or
else switch to two line breaks between major subsections) and too much
story info at times (see PW: I want to read it on my DS, not on the
computer), it is pretty detailed, nice on the eyes, and well-formatted. Slash - To be blunt: I don't give a **** about your version history. Get it down past the table of contents at the very least (and for the larger ones that take up more than a page scroll, at the bottom). I am glad to see that you have fixed some of the things I was complaining about last year (odd line breaks ranging from anywhere from 60 to 80 characters from the start of the line, and other stuff), but now you need to try and fix your signal-to-noise ratio a slight bit; also, in some walkthroughs (using Chrono Trigger for an example), you do not need to have a divider for every single section you go through. So for example, if you are going from the Fair to Guardia Castle (having already made the trip before), you don't need to go "Head out onto the overworld. "OVERWORLD DIVIDER" Go to Guardia Forest. "GUARDIA FOREST DIVIDER" Go to Guardia Castle. Just say "Now head from here to Guardia Castle"). Your work is decent, but snkupo just edges you out here. ABSTAIN - It's A. ****ing K.A. However, while his format and some of his stuff have aged well, others have not: I am looking at GTA and Diablo here specifically. For the actual walkthrough, you need to spend less time elaborating on the background of a given mission or task, and more time elaborating on how to get there, and completing it, etc. It's too bloated at some points with needless information. His smaller and newer stuff, however, is MUCH better (although one thing that iffs me is when he uses >> in his Halo FAQ to indicate a new objective; having cross-examined this after ADR's Warlocked FAQ, may I suggest using a bullet (which shows up bold on most browsers) to catch one's attention more nicely?). ADR's stuff looks pretty decent. The main thing that I dislike about his stuff is his tab indentation. However, it is more of a stylistic choice here, and does not really detract at all from his FAQs, so I will not fault him for that. Alternating between NES and non-NES FAQ, it's also nice to see that he doesn't need to use huge browser-crashing headers for the really small stuff. And, like Brian has said before, his Warlocked FAQ is very good. I have played the game before, and much of the description seems spot on. However, there's just something to his work that I cannot describe that forces me to abstain. |

| You'll have to make it to Round 2 first. I do not plan on doing Round 1 or anything after Round 2. But you're going up against Aerostar, so you will likely make it into Round 2. |

| Please. I am supposed to put aside all personal biases when making the vote, but that poor joke may yet force me to lean to Aerostar. |

| I said plan. By that, I meant giving reasons (as
can be seen by my voting already, which would have made my statement by
your interpretation already false). So THERE! |

Interesting how A.K.A.'s Halo guide still credits me with my old
moniker, Irving (I've gone this long without noticing). I think an
update is in favor. ;D --- Y.T.W.S.R. | I.W.W.H.T.Q. These are the last rites; the line is dead. |
