X¤MURDERDOLL¤X!!!


Many, many congratulations to MD for triumphing this superb contest in this LONGEST TOURNAMENT IN HDC HISTORY!!



Phew...what a time we had.

Such a long time since the first post was made in this tourney thread (February 16th 2010)...a tournament in development for A WHOLE YEAR and almost 4 months (no less!!).

We started off with 33 participants and 99 Masters of Cinema initially, and we ended with Murderdoll taking the Winner's Crown.

And the whole credit for this super-long yet highly successful tourney goes to all of you, dear voters of HDC. Thank you for making this yet another successful venture to enter the annals of HDC history - a project worthy of intense rivalry, and success of quality popular cinema.

Thank you, folks. Ciao!



********************SHOWDOWN II IS CLOSED********************

[hammerfan]

As always, excellent job, V! Thank you!!

[fortunato]

Well-done, lay-dee.

[swiss tony]

Wow, excellent work ___v___! Congrats Murder Doll. It's just a shame it's all over.

Here's an idea for continuing the series. One more tournament will mean we have 3 champions, then we can have a 'clash of champions' 3-way tournament to see who is the undisputed HDC showdown king.

It should only take another couple of years:)

[roshiq]

Congrats Murderdoll!

Waiting for the 3rd one, V:cool:

[TheWickerFan]

Well done V, and congratulations Murderdoll.

Where has she gone to? I miss her take on things.:(

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

great job as always V. ;)

I knew my director's would pull through. :cool:
