Choose, HDC.

The gladiator which runs to 5 first, wins.

[ferretchucker]

Carrie. I might have voted for Harry Potter had the name not been changed.

[hammerfan]

Harry Potter, of course

Ferret, that makes no sense. It's still the same story.

[fortunato]

The Road, easily. A terse, powerful, and chilling work of fiction.

[roshiq]

The Road, easily. A terse, powerful, and chilling work of fiction.

Ditto
.......

[BloodintheBay]

The Road... Harry Potter can't be anyone's favorite.. of All Time?? Really...

[Papillon Noir]

Carrie.

I wanted to like the Road, but I hated the prose style.

I'm a Harry Potter fan, but the 1st one wasn't the great. The later ones were much better.

[missmacabre]

Carrie....

[ferretchucker]

Harry Potter, of course

Ferret, that makes no sense. It's still the same story.

I know, but I think it must be a psychological thing. When I see it with a different title it makes me like it less. It's strange.

[Disease]

Carrie..........

[ChronoGrl]

Harry Potter. It's the only one of the three that I've read.

[Paul the Monk]

Twin Peaks, a damn fine program (well, at least most of it)

I'll throw Alky & Dante in to the ring for #9, but I should point out that it seems odd to me that there are only 2 people left that need #9. I thought we were working in multiples of 3.

[_____V_____]

That was because there were Mixed Bag choices selected earlier.
Still, Alky and Dante are good to go. I ll choose a random gladiator to take on their gladiators in category 9.

i gotta go with Lost here. Everyone I know says I'll love Dexter but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

[ferretchucker]

Rock Band.

Screw Guitar Hero!

[The_Return]

Apples and oranges here...tough.

Both Rock Band and Dexter are among my favourite things ever, but I'm more apt to pick up the mic and belt out some tunes than pop in an episode of Dexter.

I'm sure some of us MIGHT be able to say we've always wanted to be a serial killer (no comment), but let's face it: EVERYONE wants to be a rock star. And Rock Band - though it sure can't rival actually getting on stage and fronting a band, or picking up a real guitar - it can still give the less musically inclined that glorious taste of the spotlight.

Rock Band!

Thanks, one and all.




*********************************HDC SHOWDOWN IS OVER************************************

[alkytrio666]

I thought the winners were all going to play against each other!
But great contest Avi, one of your best in recent memory.

[_____V_____]

We still have that option open, if enough people are interested.
And thanks, K. Glad you liked it. :)

[Angra]

I thought the winners were all going to play against each other!
But great contest Avi, one of your best in recent memory.


I agree with Alky.

Nice'n original. And most importantly, personal.


Please continue.

Only 1 of my gladiators survived, but it would still be fun to see whom or what would win this in the end. :)

[ChronoGrl]

LOTS of fun, V! And what a great concept! I really liked this tournament.

I'd love to see the winners face each other.

[The_Return]

This was my favourite tourney in a long while...I think a second round would be pretty cool!

[ManchestrMorgue]

Wow I won... :D:D:D

[Despare]

This was my favourite tourney in a long while...I think a second round would be pretty cool!

I agree wholeheartedly.

[_____V_____]

Alright. And thank you, folks. :)

As per Showdown rules, we move on to the elimination of the bottom 3 participants, and the 1 least popular choice of category.

They are :-

Participants:- Haunted, Hammerfan, and Milktoaste (most early losses).

Category :- Favorite Game.


So, moving on to the remaining 24 winners and 8 categories.
(Doing away with the Mixed Bag choice as well, as it makes things more confusing)

Showdown is open till the next weekend for you to revise your choice of gladiators in any THREE categories and send me your new choices through PM. Remember, only THREE categories and till the next weekend ONLY.

I will make the new revised Grid in a few minutes and post it soon.

Round 2 of HDC Showdown will commence within the next 24 hours. My suggestion, do your revision of choices/gladiators in THREE categories within that time. ;)

[alkytrio666]

God, you're awesome V!

[_____V_____]

And so is every member who is a part of HDC, Alky. Thats why HDC is awesome!


The remaining 8 categories are :-

Favorite Horror Movie
Favorite Non-Horror Movie
Favorite Movie Character
Favorite Comic Character
Favorite TV Show
Favorite Song
Favorite Album
Favorite Book


Just posting them again for some of you who need to refresh themselves with the categories again, for re-checking/revising your choices for any THREE of those.
I will expect PMs from all of you till the end of next week.
The Grid is ready. We are ready to rock and roll for Round 2 from tomorrow morning. :)

[crabapple]

Yeah! I like dis contest! Yeah!

Surprised I came so high up! This was very fun, thanks V.

I know a few choices I might change...

Can you repost the previous ones so I know which I can't choose.

[roshiq]

I'm really pleased the way my Gladiators performed at the first round. Hope some changes can do the overall results even better this time. And so the 'changes' submitted.:cool:

Kudos to V for presenting this most unpredictable tourney of HDC so far!:)

[_____V_____]

Only Roshiq has submitted his 3 permissible changes of Gladiators so far.

Round 2 of HDC Showdown will commence in exactly 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Quit being so poo-nutty, you.

I am baking poo nut butter cookies, so everyone can have a little snack for the next part of the contest!

Best of Bowie.

[bwind22]

abbey road

[Roderick Usher]

I love Bowie, but can't call a "best of" an album, it's a collection of singles stripped from thier original (and intended) context... so I have to go with Abbey Road

[_____V_____]

4-1-0, Abbey Road leads.

[GorePhobia]

Abbey Road for me as well.

[Angra]

Beatles......

[The_Return]

I love Bowie, but can't call a "best of" an album, it's a collection of singles stripped from thier original (and intended) context... so I have to go with Abbey Road

Exactly.....

[_____V_____]

Abbey Road wins on a canter in the first Showdown of the 2nd Round!!

The Beatles - Abbey Road - +1!!
David Bowie - Best of Bowie - -1
David Hess - The Naked Carmen - -1

(We started the same way in the 1st Round too...nice coincidence!)
