[kodster]

Epic win, Liam, epic win.

[swimm3r]

also LMAO for the lamest tournament ever Mark, for simple reasons.

1) It's a hypo that you can't even enter
2) The results are terribly inaccurate
3) Some of the robots entered never even existed, or were ever finished
4) You posted the results on your own (even lamer than this tournament) forum!



EPIC FAIL MARK!

epic win me

[corsair_lightning]

This is just something I did when I had nothing to do.

However, since I'm going to finish ACTILWI and MToD, I might as well make another tourney...
