I hope you are going to let more than 10 people vote in each round in each bracket. Otherwise, you could shut down the voting in an hour and most of the site won't even be aware of this and will be shut out.

The LOTR and Harry Potter ones are hard because both of them are unbeatable..wait Sauron is just an eyeball, RE-EDIT: Voldemort is unbeatable, and we don't have a boy who lived in our reality, and Voldemort could kill HAL by whipping his wand. But HAL was so scary...I dunno

Voting isn't based on an actual match between two villains. Its based on preference.

I know, I'm basing it on actual threat if I encountered the villain. Then again I could base it on the threat of the villain in the film. That's a pretty even match still.

Do we have to have seen the movies these villains are in to be able to vote?

Also a memorably horrible villain in Society.

Getting deja vu from last time we had this Tournament.

Oh, I see. I apologize then.

What's the score so far?

Good idea to go along with the other movie tournament threads and who doesn't like a good villain.

Of course I realize this is your tournament, and you are the one taking the time to host/count/bracket/etc but at 32 nominees and a person being able to nominate two characters this only leaves 16 people selecting. Also since it is the first 16 people, unless you were on today you missed your chance.

Also, as mark f said, if only 10 people can vote, you're eliminating a lot of people from having that chance.

Therefore I refuse to play this game and nominate myself, iluv2viddyfilms, as a villain within the context of this silly thread and poorly handled tournament.


carry on.

Yeah, I'll definitely let the votes go past 10. I'll be back on tomorrow to find out the winners of the first two brackets.
