Far and I both agree; a simple rule for spectators of battles conversing during the rounds are needed.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT "FOR SURE" VOTES HALFWAY THROUGH THE BATTLE.

This is pretentious and demoralizing to the other contestants.

You can still critique. If you didn't like their comic, say so. That's fine. But saying "YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE SO FAR MAN" is kinda stupid. The battle could change at any moment. So say you've promised someone a vote, then suddenly the other person pulls out a bitchin' comic that you love. Well, if you go to that other person, you look like an idiot and a traitor. So stop.

Also stop saying, " I can't wait to see how ______ will respond." Seems like EVERYONE says it in EVERY thread and it's annoying.

I like this rule better than the next one for sure.

EDIT: Haha, I violated both these things at once earlier.

I hate it when someone puts in a type of in-joke that's blatantly obvious, but presented in a hidden way, then pretty much everyone says OH MY GOD I TOTALLY NOTICED THAT THING YOU DID WHAT AN AWESOME AND HILLARIOUS LITTLE TOUCH YOU ADDED THERE!

It's shit how the forum's humour bar lowers so much in this tournament aswell.

If you had entered a character you could have raised the bar. Don't deny it.

I'd like to add another li'l thing, though this isn't for critiquing. Far and I agree, that too often people are putting other competitors' characters into their comics. This was cool for a bit but now it's just annoying.

Please stop, thanks.

I agree with what you guys are saying for the most part, but I don't see what sexual solicitation has to do with votes.

I didn't do that for votes. I wanted some characters to throw in, and when you mentioned aliens in your comic Relaps, then I immediately thought of Far's character.

Since Jeff hasn't appeared in a single comic, I fully agree. Assholes.
