I think that would drag it out. Hopefully, as in previous competitions, people will vote based on the strips in that round and not on if someone voted against them, etc.

At least, I hope no one was keeping track of my votes against them...

I hate to be the first to do this, but I guess someone has to.

I vote Jael as the weakest strip.

sorry.

---
My leg hurts.

My vote goes to Jael as weakest strip.

Skagg: for being upstanding and admitting they desrved to go because they at least knew their strip sucked. ;)

I withdraw from the contest.

Sorry guys, I cheated you all.

I guess it's true, you never really regret anything until your caught.

I am The Weakest Stripper

goodbye!

And the vote from Kitty is.........
Skagg

My life totally and completely REEKS.

so is it skagg 2 votes and Jael 2 votes or are we throwing out kidneys vote due to the fact he's Kajun.

Should we keep voting even though someone withdrew or are we done for this round?

Hey, I already voted to oust Kajun. Little did I know at the time how much the bastard deserved it...

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Well, Kajun never voted so, I think we should count the kidneys vote.

---
My life totally and completely REEKS.

I vote for (against?) skagg.

I also think writhling should get another vote.

---
My life totally and completely REEKS.

Kajun, stay in. We'll count your vote as Mr_Kidney as your vote. Since Mr_Kidney hasn't gotten any votes yet, it will be as if he never existed.

If you lose (win?) this vote... well, then you're out anyway (in which case I'll need a rule from you). But if you don't, then you are officially in the next round. If you don't submit a strip in the next round, I'll assume that you have withdrawn. But you'll have until the deadline for the next round to make up your mind.

That is a good point Kajun.

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

We have a tie.

Jael and Skagg are each tied at three votes. Because there are no previous votes, I cannot choose the loser based on that factor. Therefore we will have a quick strip-off between the two of you.
[list]
[*]Each of you will submit a strip within 24 ours on the following theme: My first day on the job was not what I expected. This can be entirely fictional or entirely true -- whatever is funnier.

[*]Voters, please start voting as soon as the two strips are posted. You can only vote for Jael or Skagg to be ousted. Jael and Skagg, you do not get to vote in this strip-off, of course.

[*]Jael and Skagg, since one of you will definitely be out, both of you please e-mail a rule for the next round to me at chris@condon.net and we will get the next round started faster.
[/list]

Hey, Skagg, if you don't submit a strip in the next six hours or so, Jael is going to win the strip-off by default. Which is a lousy way for you to lose.

In which case, I'll be needing a rule for the next round from you.

---

Skagg, you have made the Weakest Strip! Goodbye!

Or I should say you created no strip. Which isn't nearly as good as Jael's. Please send a rule to chris@condon.net as soon as possible.

Remember, Skagg, you still get to vote in the rest of the rounds, so stick around...

crap! and I had an awesome rule too!

Ahhhh...the taste of a hollow victory!! ;)

---

I'm going to give Skagg a few more hours to send me a rule. Otherwise, I will make one up (bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

Round 2

Well, I’ve waited long enough for a rule from Skagg. If he still cares to submit a rule I may use it at a later time.

I think it will speed things up if everyone e-mails me a rule now (chris@condon.net) so that I have it on file if you get voted off. Please put your stripcreator nickname in the subject line so I can find your rule when the time comes. Thanks! (If we ever do this type of competition again, maybe that should be the way we do it).

Jael, I already have the rule you sent me, of course.

Meanwhile, it’s time that we got Round 2 started! Since Skagg hasn’t submitted a rule, I’ll make one up myself:
[list]
[*]Create a strip about an urban legend. This can be an actual urban legend or one that you make up for the strip.
[*]Include a reference to an unusual family meal (e.g., “franks and brains,” only funnier).
[/list]
You have 36 hours. Ready… Set… Go!
