Seriously somebody should just say Vergil.

#Byron2014

Vergil, because he already won.

vergil just cus

Vergil wins 6-5.

Byron

I did it for the +1s.

SO, we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.

BYRON: 'T is over-- my dull eyes can fix thee not;
But all things swim around me, and the earth
Heaves as it were beneath me. Fare thee well--
Give me thy hand.

VIRGIL: Cold-- cold-- even to the heart--
But yet one prayer-- Alas! how fares it with thee?

BYRON: Old man! 't is not so difficult to die. [BYRON expires]

VIRGIL: He's gone, his soul hath ta'en its earthless flight;
Whither? I dread to think; but he is gone.

Byron wins!

^How does he win, it looks like Vergil got the tiebreaking vote first?

VIRGIL: FAB. Thunderbirds are go!

Tiebreaking vote? GTFO

I see 6-6 before the voting period ended. This is why we need voter IDs.

After Obi unvoted it was 5-5, leading to a tiebreaker where the first vote wins. Semck83 was the first to vote after that meaning Vergil won

So on the round of 32

It never said there would be a single tiebreaker vote. I see it as 6-6 right now.

That has always been the standard, and either way I see two new for Vergil and one for Byron.

Actually Chaqa if we're going by non single tiebreaker then it was 7-5 for Vergil after Socrates voted, and 8-6 after Octavious voted. (I'm assuming the Virgil Thunderbids go comment was a vote).

No matter how you chalk this up, Virgil won, but if you really want to keep going then I too will vote for Virgil making it 9-6.

When's the deadline?

The score is 6-6.

Yep. Do it, obi.

Byron

obi, do you also want to random the contestants, or do you want to keep them like this?

Wasn't it supposed to be March Madness themed? I kept them in order.
