I wasn't supposed to win. I'm really not prepared to run a comic cup. The moving van is coming Saturday and there is still packing to do. After Saturday, I'm not sure what my internet access situation will be. My new house won't be finished until late November or December, so I'm staying with my folks and their dial-up (*sob*) access in the meanwhile. I will have access at work, though, so I will be able to put some time into the cup. We'll see...
Now, if the last paragraph did not bore you to death and you are still reading, I had an idea about a way to run the next cup that might make things either interesting or sucky. I'll post it here and look for consensus before going ahead with it. Also, let me know if you want to be in the next cup.
Here's the idea: I would act as a host in a Clive Anderson kind of way. I would give a parameter--e.g. "setting," "occupation," "name of a surrealist painter," or something of that sort--and then everyone not participating in the current match (non-cup-participants included) can make suggestions--e.g. "setting: a Parisian brothel," "occupation: lawyer," "surrealist painter: Salvador Dali." 24 hours after posting the parameters, I would select the actual rules from your suggestions or make up my own if yours all suck. The first round would have 2 parameters, the second would have 3, and so on.
What do you think? Fun? Lame? Sexy?
