is he really giving up being the GM??

Even though I think Rubber was only ok (but surprisingly ok!, and hilarious), I still think the tournament is interesting.

Hello everyone.
I'm taking over as GM for the tournament. I've processed the previous phase.
The next phase opens now. It will close Sunday at 6 PM PST, and each phase will be 48 hours from there.

Inception vs Terminator 2
The Dark Night vs Die Hard

##VOTE Schindler's List
##VOTE Shrek, fuck you Prado
##VOTE Blazing Saddles
##VOTE Rush Hour

Thanks for taking over Ezio, but I don't think trolls ever should be rewarded.
Have fun.

I mean, I don't think either Rubber or Circle should have won, and Circle certainly is a worse movie than the Matrix, but it was worth it just to get Vash all worked up.

Oooh, there are some really tough ones here

##vote moneyball
##vote memento - but I could be swayed
##vote princess bride -mainly because I don't think animation as a medium can advance much farther in the tournament
##vote groundhog day
##vote rush hour
##vote rear window - one of Hitchcock's better works
##vote inception
##vote the dark Knight - as much as it pains me to go against die hard

woot.

##VOTE Moneyball
##VOTE Memento
##VOTE Princess Bride
##VOTE Groundhog Day --- could not get into Blazing Saddles, I think the comedy aged badly for me; and Bill Murray, I mean come on

##VOTE Life is Beautiful
##VOTE Rear Window
##VOTE Inception
##VOTE Die Hard --- top 2 or 3 action movie

why were some people wanting to ruin this for Vashta? did he do something horrible in the past? not aware of the history

##VOTE Princess Bride
##VOTE Life Is Beautiful

@Bladerunners

Because people are dicks and don't respect the amount of work it takes to set something up. Don't let trolls win. Boycott the tournament. Sad.

don't the trolls win if tournament dies though? I would advocate that best way to keep this going is to 1) ask Ezio to stop and ask Vashta to return and 2) remove movies that were obviously put in as a joke but that backfired re. trolls

Vash did the only thing he could vs the trolls and end his participation in the tournament.

I urge everyone else to as well. It's the only way they'll get the message.

The message being: "Your juvenile antics will not be rewarded with more attention."

Hey now. I genuinely believe Rubber is one of the greatest tournaments ever made, and it's way better than anything it's come up against thus far.

##vote Rush Hour

It's not a huge deal unless Circle or Rubber win the tournament. Matrix was never gonna win anyway.

A lot of the antics on this site are funny but some aren't. Grow up Chaqua. Just a little. You hurt someone. That's not funny.
