but to the sports analogy...

Id compare an ongoing draw-off like this to baseball. Someone may have a good run, they might advance farther than someone else, but eventually, if they arent the most talented (or in some cases putting out the most quality work) they will not get voted for and lose.

Id compare the one shot draw-offs to football. You only get one chance to prove youre the best. Like the star wars color draw off. personally, I thought manji's was the best. it was colored excellently and had a background. But i think babycakes ended up winning that one. No offense to cakes, cuz i do enjoy the art, but i think that if that draw-off had extended another round and manji had done another piece with full bg and cakes hadnt, then manji mightve won it out in the end. who knows. popularity plays a VERY small factor when i vote, since i like pretty much everyone here, and i think alot of the other members on this board do too. so that isnt a liable excuse either.

and captain, Im not "attacking" you with this post, I just quoted you because i agree with what you said.

Just got back in town tonight...

You got what I was saying. Thanks dude.

Vote and praise the best, don't discourage the rest.

I don't know what's going on with Spidey. I've had no contact with him, but I do know that Spidey's profile lists him as being from Southern California. Just speculating here, but that state has been undergoing a crazy wildfire situation over the last few days, and the property damage there is off the hook. I'd wager it's very likely that servers are down throughout the Southern California area. It's conceivable that internet access might not be available to him just now. Hopefully, Spidey isn't facing any serious issues related to the fire.

I have no idea what's going on with him--I'm only speculating. I do hope he's fine though. Whatever the reason for his absence, we should give him the benefit of the doubt and show a little patience. We're all eager for this particular tournament to continue.

I don't know about the Southern Calif. situation vs Internet.
I work for the State of California (yes, from Montreal... can't tell much more though) and the brunt of our business comes from southern CA and we haven't noticed a decrease, so I think it's fair to assume it's PC troubles.

If Spidey uses a PC, of course...
