HDC SHOWDOWN - FINAL LEADERBOARD AFTER ROUND 1






Thanks to everyone who participated and those who sent in their Gladiators for the battles. If you liked this concept, voice your opinion and maybe (who knows!) we might have Round 2.

Thanks, one and all.




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

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

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

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. :)

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

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

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

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

I agree wholeheartedly.

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. ;)

God, you're awesome 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. :)

Yeah! I like dis contest! Yeah!

....'cept....

i don't like it

Quit being so poo-nutty, you.

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.

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!:)

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.

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

Good Morningggggggggggggggggg HDC,

And so we start ROUND 2 of HDC SHOWDOWN!!!

The gladiator which runs to 5 first, wins.

Abbey Road

Gotta go with Abbey Road. Pass me a butter cookie, would ya crabs?

Best of Bowie.

abbey road

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

4-1-0, Abbey Road leads.

Abbey Road for me as well.

Beatles......

Exactly.....

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!)


For this category, Neverending, Ferretchucker & Fortunato cannot be challenged again.
