FFT - FINNNALLLLL1!!! - Strontium Dog vs Nikolai Dante

[IndigoPrime]

It's not like Strontium Dog needs extra cheat votes anyway – it's comfortably ahead. But, again, I'm surprised the margin isn't larger. Dante's done well.

 Stront, not by a big margin, I think Dante sits fairly in my second spot, two great strips.

So this is it the very last day of voting, which is kinda hard to imagine. Don't worry there is no queue, just pop up post your fav and tomorrow morning I'll count up and wrap this whole goddamn thing up!

[Dash Decent]

Curse that fine print!

There should be a GI Doll named Tuesday Blues.

Dante

[Simon Fraser]

Do I get a vote?

Umm....Dante?

[Colin YNWA]

Do I get a vote?

Umm....Dante?

We'd be honoured to have you sir. You join David Bishop and Mike Carroll as creators who've voted... I think... I mean I think Jim might have voted but we don't count him.

[Colin YNWA]

Oh and all you folks who voted Strontium Dog do you want to make Simon sad after all the joy he's given us, do you. Huh?

Its not too late to change your vote!

[The Mind of Wolfie Smith]

DANTE!!!

i'm voting for the astounding tolstoyan sci-fi epic over the antics of the wiltshire boys. of course.

i mean, c'mon guys!

(it's even a tad better than that apparently nameless, dreddfully puntastic, time-travelling tale of zombies, vampires and the big bad mutant).

[I, Cosh]

This is hard. Dante.

I love how, in all of these competitions, we pretty much know exactly which side Colin is cheering on from the get-go.  Though, given we are all openly voting, that's true of everyone else too.

I know and half the time it makes naff all difference - its as if my opinion didn't matter!

VOTING AND TOURNEY CLOSED

I feel like I should be doing more to wrap this up. There should fonts and bolds and colours and all kinds shiny...but ...well that can come later and the brilliant AlexF will hopefully be along soon to give us a proper thread to celebrate all this on. As it is I've just been counting and recounting since 6.10am as this one WAS SO CLOSE.

I mean really close. Each thrill was ahead at various points. At the death Dante seemed Too Cool To Kill as he surged back and... didn't quite make it and fittingly tourney favourite

STRONTIUM DOG

Held on at the death. A super fitting final to what has been a magnificent tourney, by far the best and most popular so far.

I have more to say as the day and weekend progresses I'm sure. But we're all tired and emotional and Johnny and Wulf are running to their fans as Nikolai and Jena try to pick up their team sat forlorn on the grass. The press are trying to get interviews and the fireworks have started and some poor bugger is going to have a right job picking up all that confetti.

For now let's just enjoy the pictures and once again give it up for the tournement winner the FORUM'S FAVOURITE THRILL*

STRONTIUM DOG

*That's not Dredd

[Trooper McFad]

Fantastic effort Colin and well done to Strontium Dog a very worthy winner.

I look forward to your next comp should you be bothered to organise and ref another.
