    Yeah I initially laid out very specific rules for nominations but no one paid them any attention so I just let it go. Didn't want a bunch of arguing over what was or wasn't horror. Or who is or isn't a villain. But by letting it go it resulted in a very broad, kinda goofy list.

    And on the flip side, while an all out generic "villains" war no doubt would've gotten a lot more attention I just didn't want to be the one to have to run it. The nominations list would easily be like 100+ and just seemed too unwieldy for me.

    The other thing is that it's difficult to nail down who is actually the villain. Take this matchup, for example: the villains are not Jack and the xenomorph; it's the Overlook Hotel and Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

    All my guys could have been knocked out in the first round (ala Band Wars) and I'd still click a button to get to a consensus champ.
    Not like we all aren't mostly goofing off until football starts again here anyway.

    Horror is FAR less of a niche than would be perceived in this lounge. Of all the social media groups I participate in outside of this forum there is massive participation - more so than music or gear groups I frequent - and by a lot.

    And therein is the conversion that is spawned by this topic and I get there will only be a few of us discussing that part. But in the 3 seconds it takes to vote otherwise it seems like a lot more folks would drop in..

    And if someone boned up and did 2016 Superhero vote-off, I'd probably vote in every matchup...

    Well, I guess I screwed up--it started in the heart of the draft--so I was elsewhere. I missed a couple important votes. :nono:
