Results of Battle Royale II - Challenge #5
Team Grindhouse, Nightmares and Assassins...
Welcome to your Fifth
BATTLE ROYALE II results meeting.
Before we start, I would like to clear up two points of confusion -
#1) Madeline Smith is 34DD, but she is NOT a superstar of the genre.
#2) Always do a cross-check with the Challenge BEFORE sending in your entry. In the event of any sort of editing (IF it happens, it would be within the first 30-odd minutes), you will be safe. Merely forwarding a teammate's PM to me without tallying it with the Challenge may result in drastic consequences, and you alone will be responsible for it.
