TOF Semi-Final Round 1 - Pachinko v. Version Control

Semi-final Round 1 - Pachinko winner vs. Version Control judged by Michelle

[Maggie]

OK Folks, totally my fault, but I have misplaced the email with the judgement for this one. Sorry for the delay, I'll get it up ASAP!

[Maggie]

Sorry folks, I have misplaced Michelle's explanation for her decision. I will get that to you ASAP.

For the sake of keeping things on schedule, I will share that the winner of today's match-up is Version Control!

At this point we say goodbye to Pachinko which did not get enough votes to come back as one of our zombies. Going into the final pre-zombie match, our Zombies remain The Animators and Milkman

Wow - I didn't think =The Animators= would be able to withstand =Pachinko= in the zombie count. I liked both books, but I'm glad =The Animators= is the one that (might) still be coming back. A lot of dubiousness expressed about it here in the comments, but clearly it has its fans - me included, although it didn't get my zombie vote. I think it is going to have a hard time, though, competing against tomorrow's loser.

If you consider that the zombies are technically still in the game, 3 of my top 4 tournament picks are still in the mix. That's better than I expected, and that makes for pretty good odds of getting one of them into the winner's circle.

(I wonder what would happen, though, if we made the Tournament winner have a run-off against =Normal People= to take the crown?)

Revolt.

But since this is our version of a ToToB, wouldn't our winner face off against the Super Rooster winner A Mercy?

LOL I don't think we can handle any more discussion of NP. ;)

Seriously, let's just put it to rest. I'm just glad that in 240 years when our descendants are doing the the first ever Super Rooster of the Super Roosters, it will be A Mercy representing the first Super Rooster.

I will be looking forward to Michelle's judgement whenever it appears but YAY VERSION CONTROL. I admired Pachinko, am glad it found a place on the Favorites list. But I want Version Control to win the whole thing. (It was my zombie vote, and it didn't even need it...)

[Peggy]

WOOO-HOOO Version Control. Keep going you wondrous book!

I love seeing Version Control make it so far in this Tournament of Favorites. I loved it so much!
