12:17pm: This was not our fault
That is all.

6:10pm: MS Deathmatch Update
The Mary Sue Deathmatch will occur. There will be seperate cards for Pro Sues/Stus and fanfic Sues/Stus and we would like to see more nominations (here or in the original thread ), particularly in the fanfic category.

As we are continuing in our role as Deathmatch coordinator, we choose not to reveal our identity at this time. Continued speculation is welcome.

We would like to thank everyone who made this an amusing side note to the fandom_wank experience for the last several weeks, particularly those people who voted in creative and amusing ways.

We would also like to thank oulangi (who did not run this deathmatch, by the way) and bohicamouse for playing along with the manufactured wank back in the early rounds.

Who are we?

None of your guesses were correct.

When we were but a young deathmatch our mother used a phrase we hated. "One bad apple spoils the whole bushel." Now that we have grown, we realize that Mama Deathmatch was wrong but only because it took three bad apples this time.

From this day forward, block votes will be counted as one vote only. This is unfortunate because we enjoyed the versions of songs and poetry. Even the mock spam was funny the first two or three times.

If you wish to know where to place the blame, it lies squarely on the heads of lightnote_blend, one anon who voted for anatsuno and one anon who voted for oulangi.

Please bear in mind that it is not cheating we object to, just uninventive, boring cheating.

Block voting is still bad. If you are going to block vote you must give us an accurate count at the end of the block or the block will be counted as one vote. You may not block vote by saying "Person A x 1000 votes" or some such nonsense. Get off your lazy ass and write their name out 1000 times.

We know it is getting increasingly difficult to choose between opponents. Complain all you like; you cannot possibly imagine how little that bothers us.
