I've been waiting for this thread to be the perfect place to sum all this up. I mean this has been the best pile of nonsense I've been involved with on this forum and AlexF's visual summaries have been the absolute best thing about the whole thing... well almost.
So before I go any further I want to just once again state what absolute perfection his pictural choices are. Could that parting picture of Johnny be better. No. The simple answer is no. So AlexF my heartfelt thank you for making the nonsense I start look and seem so much better than it is.
But its not my favourite thing. My favourite thing is not even that this has been the most popular one of these to date. By my very rough calculations, over 6000 votes, across 333 ties at an average of over 18 a tie. I'm 74% certain no other tourney would match those numbers.
No my favourite thing is the conversations that have accompanied each tie. The insight, the nonsense. Heck even the votes for City of the Damned. Its been such brilliant fun and I've genuinely looked forward to posting new ties each morning wondering what wonderful, silly, insightful and interesting things would be posted about 'Darkness Visible' to 'Strontium Dog'; from 'London Falling' to 'Kingdom'. However obsure, or however talked to death - there was always something new to be discussed or said, or just plained laughted at.
Only you lot can do that and so my heartfelt thank you to each and everyone who voted, commented and joined in, be it once or like a few I suspect (hey Broodblik see you got here too!) who I reckon got to almost all. If not all the votes. The whole point of these tourneys is to have something to rally chat around to keep this vernable forum going and this one more than any other feels like its done that.
So let's have some fun here, thanks to AlexF, and as my friends in the office have got to saying and Crack on with what's next and what else can keep this board my favourite place on the internet.
Cheers folks.
