Favorite Quote Tournament: Round 2c(L) [CLOSED]

[rs2excelsior]

Hello, OOTS Fans! And Welcome to the FAVORITE ORDER OF THE STICK QUOTE TOURNAMENT!

In this tournament, quotes which won nominations here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302659) and here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303560) will compete to determine the all-time* favorite OOTS quote as chosen by you, the fans!

*Well, all-time until someone else decides to redo this tournament a while on down the road.

RULES:

1. In each thread, I will post four matchups. You may vote for ONE quote in EACH matchup. Later threads will have fewer matchups as the tournament nears its conclusion.

2. Please place the number of the quote for which you are voting (as shown in the OP) with your vote, preferably bolded.

3. If your quote loses, never fear! This is a double elimination tournament. A quote's first loss will move it to a losers' bracket, where if it beats the other quotes there it may eventually move on up as far as third place.


4. Voting for this round will conclude at 9PM EST on Tuesday, November 12th. I will generally give a week for all rounds, unless it becomes clear that no one is voting for the last few days.

The round number is just that. The lowercase letter indicates what part of the round it is. The (W) or (L) indicates whether the round is for the winners' or losers' bracket. I may drop that distinction later on and run both in one thread.

Keep in mind, this is the Loser's Bracket. Any quote which loses its matchup here will be eliminated from the tournament.

So, without further ado, here are the matchups:

Much as I hate to vote against Wizard Guy, I went for the one quote in this bunch that I love. The way that the Giant manages V's diction is just masterful. There's something memorable, too, about the gender-ambiguous elf making a disparaging prostitution reference.

[Oakianus]

I'll have to go with 3, 7, 9 and 14 for my cast. Yay brackets!

[littlebum2002]

3. Elan.

7. Belkar

9. Wizard

14. Tarquin



Have you ever considered making a bracket like the relation tournament has? (http://challonge.com/favoriterelationshiptournament) That way we can see how all the quotes are doing. They even have an option to do double elimination.

Not fair, V's last quote in the running vs. Wizard Guy! :smallbiggrin:
