I love how none of us (except Dakota) mention getting discounted classes or free memberships or gift cards, but we're all "I'll cut you for a fucking mug." That just tickles me.
Also, Avery; good luck in the first round and all, but I'll cut you for that fucking mug. Atomic innuendo be damned.

don't understand the point in seeding, it seems like you paired one obvious winner v. one obvious loser
Well, it's based on the NCAA brackets. I guess it's trying to set up the best battles down the road, anticipating that the "best" teams/writers are in the finals for the most intense competition. BUT, of course, anybody can take anybody down at any time. Be a giant slayer. And the coolest thing, I think, is the blind voting. So you aren't voting for a person but a story. I think it really could be anybody.

Important new WAR info!!
Everybody go to the post that started it all. The first post of the WAR intro thread. Read the bold, underlined, italicized stuff. That stuff is from Kirk.
So after you read that, everybody go give some special thanks to Kirk and Dennis for their contribution, and to the mighty Richard Thomas for throwing in the good word on our behalf.
