Appreciated. It was rough, but I gave it a good run. Definately will be back next time.

Cant wait to see how this ends up. Tough road to the finals but it will be a great read.
 
I agree, it's really hard when you have to argue a position which is different than what you actually believe.
Not all the time. Look at my opening round debate. Do I truly think the RAW Guest Host GM was a success? Not really (I do believe it wasn't a failure, but to call it a success is a little much). I won that debate pretty easily.
 
That post has been deleted and will not count. However, judging by the current scorings, it doesn't look like it made much of a difference.



I assumed you'd resume in this round. Does that mean you won't?

I thought this round had ended. Give me about an hour and a half, I'll judge these last 2.
 
I just got home, so after I finish a few excel spreadsheets and do some other work I'll start judging the other two debates that I didn't get to last night.

You might not have to. Most of this week's debates ended up in early clinches.

All of the judges need to step up a bit more. Deadlines are not being hit by all of you guys. I said from the beginning that I needed this tournament to move along smoothly. While I know that I've been held up a time or two, there's been a few of you that have been consistently late since the beginning.

Since we're getting down to the wire, I need to ask you guys one more time: Nate and SavageTaker, can you continue to judge this thing and meet deadlines? Please be up front and honest. I have a few backups in mind and, if I have to, I'd like to make changes before the next round begins.

Since you are wanting them done by Saturday night, if I recall properly, looks like a late Friday night for me. Thankfully it will only be four debates.

Just making a statement, nothing more.
 
Yeah man, I'm all in again. My computer is running phenomenally and my schoolwork is all caught up. I'm back to being a lonely WZ loser again.

Yeah, it really gets easy from here. But just because it's easy doesn't mean it can be late. I'm glad you and Nate are up for it and I'm sure that Funkay will continue to be one of the most consistent and quickest judges.

It's SavageTaker I'm worried about. I don't think he's been on time with judging since the first round.
 
You already know I'm good to go. Was just making a statement about me having to be up late on Friday because I'll be busy all day Saturday, one way or another. Also why I was thankful for just four.

Actually, I think it's only three this week...

Winner's bracket #27
Loser's bracket #23
Loser's bracket #24

And once the winner of Killjoy -vs- Stormtrooper/DirtyJose is decided, it goes down to two debates, followed by a single debate for two rounds. The winner of the Winner's bracket gets to sit back and relax for a little while before his final encounter. This is another reason why I want to get this moving.
 
I really have tried, but it's not easy. If you feel the best thing to do is replace me then I really can't stop you. I don't want to be in the way of things running smoothly like you wanted it to go.

I just don't want you to be angry at me to be honest. I really thought I was going to be able to do this perfectly fine, but shit happens. I've only told you guys how busy I am but there's other stuff I haven't revealed because I don't think anyone would care.

So like I said, I really am trying, but if you have to replace me then I can't stop you. I want you to do what you think is the best option for this whole thing.
 
ST, I'm not just going to go and replace you. I need to know what you're situation is. If you can't do it then just say so. I trust your judgment.
 
Two more victims to go.

Who's next?

Well like I said, I've been really busy lately. And it only seems like I'm getting busier at my job. So if you need to replace me, I apologize to everyone, but go ahead.

It really sucks. In my industry you can be super busy like a 3 weeks in a row and then all of a sudden the resort will be dead. But it feels like we started Summer a little bit early.

Holy crap... why is this so difficult...

Since you're not going to put on your big-boy pants and give me a straight answer after I've asked you TWICE, I'm going to go ahead and replace you.

Effective immediately, Dagger is going to be our fourth judge along side Nate, Funkay and CH David.
 
Good to know that you can be late twice and still get punctuality points.

Either way, it's tied after all four judges in my debate vs. Dirtyjose. I guess that means it's D-Man judgement time.

I already caught that and reversed Dagger's Punctuality point, giving you the win. Congratulations.
 
I apologize, Stormtrooper. You should indeed have gotten that point. I took another look and noticed that my numbers for time in between posts was a little off. What had happened was that my wife called and that threw me off somehow. In the future my phone will be on silent and if ANYTHING interrupts or distracts me while I am judging, I will start over. I want to be completely fair, so that will NOT be happening again. I've told the wife to not distract me when I'm judging, and she sends her apologies as well.
