"Forum Expert", i see. Wait, it's walking into "Game Expert" place.
Hmm. What to make...

[Annele]

'Bout writer, does the match have to have happened? Or can we just pick two random members, like oldtrees and arum, and just go with that?

[ARTHANASIOS]

I won't particiapte in this round, good luck to everyone here. However, my prophetic powers have revealed me that Nyan Sharks are going to win most (if not all) of the submissions this round...

Expecting this too, planned boycott?

Relevant. Though, that might exactly be the reason they curbstomped us all.

 For me, yes, I will either troll badly with my submissions or I won't participate at all. As for the rest of Team Time, I seriously don't know...

EDIT: By the way, where is the icon submission option? The deadline is by the end of Round 6, isn't it?

Does not have to have happened, does not even have to be two members. You could just say "An entropy and gravity elemental walk into a bar..." and go from there.

If you do not treat the event with respect, we will not allow participation in the future. Do not send in "troll" submissions. Do not continue to be obscene and talk about unfairness without giving reasons other than "my tool was better than the other tool". You don't have to send in any submissions but I will be very disappointed if your reasoning is that you just don't care anymore.

This competition was meant to be about Fun and Creativity, not going home with a trophy.

Yes, you could send them in any time.

I made plenty of effort to have fun here, even creating more than a single submission just for fun, even taking the roles of fellow team members who don't care any more about the Brawl. As a result, my team has always sent a submission in every single sub-category of any given round. That kept both Team Time and Brawl a little more alive. The reason I am complaining is about the voters. Their votes have completely trolled the competition. In some cases, the result is just so ridiculous and unfair that makes you think it can't be true.
My team never had a winning chance in Brawl. If I wanted the "trophy", I would just have abandoned the competition like many other brawlers (the empty submissions just show this). I made my best for Brawl, despite the fact I would never see my team winning, just for the sake of my team and the event itself. Of course, my efforts and the efforts of my comrades who haven't abandoned Brawl yet made out team to rise from the last position to a higher one, in addition to not leaving a single submission of ours blank.
But when you see all these serious efforts of every team being trolled badly via the voters, you just can't stand it anymore. They have made Brawl a big bad joke. I don't stand an awesome idea like Brawl turning into this, that's why I quit the last round...
It is ok if you block me from future Brawl. I have neither the strenght nor the free time anymore...

I have a suggestion: Tell everyone on your team to vote for your own submissions. Standings might be a lot closer if everyone had done that.

You're implying that's not the case already? Nearly every single submission so far has been getting around 4-6 votes. This means that every team member has been voting for their own team already, and the only people to truly decide who wins are the non participants.
