Actually, if you must know, I had 16 of the 22 alter egos. Nobody was anyone else's except Frosty, Kajun_vs_Dougans_Per, big_evil_deciever, and three others. That seemed like the only way to get sufficient entries to this contest. If you must know, the forfeits were even mine. My brain was running dry on ideas at the time, so I let a few contests drop. Also, I intentionally made comics hours apart when I was playing against myself, so they'd seem to be different styles. The funniest thing was the tied match where I went through all those theatrics over which of my avatars would advance. That really upped the interest in this event. Everyone had an opinion! Really, my only disappointment is sixteen entries, and I still couldn't win :-)
Still, if you've read this and you now know my secret, I'd really appreciate your keeping it to yourself. Wouldn't to rub in the fact that I pulled off such a cunning stunt. I'm really modest and don't want to offend anyone here. Rather, I just got the inspiration to try something new. Let's all see what comes from this.
