Sadly, there won't be any cute gifs here, I wasted all my budget on baking those cookies and pies.

This quote is sponsored by the cutest.

The pies were appreciated.

Edit - also, be aware that posts can't be edited past 60 days, so you may want to make sure to put in a pointer in the OP to a later post in the thread if the schedule runs past that.

 

[DavidianMillerian]

The pies were appreciated.

...but not the cookies?

 

[Angry_Panda]

...but not the cookies?

Well, I let everyone else eat those. I'll let them give their thanks for those (though I'm sure they're all quite grateful).

ah yes, the age-old naming convention of using random Toaru Majutsu no Index novels.

 

[Basic_human]

My bet is one of the Yuri one shot gonna win, given the audience I can confidently say that

Wait, you've been reading the Toaru novels? If so, what volume are you on?

Also why is there a monkey above me?

 

[Lowfyie]

Monkey business... I suspect this has always been his true form

I dunno if some of you guys need those but i made MDLists for easy access (i wished MDLists has description):

• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Apoplexy
• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Bioluminescence
• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Circumnavigation
• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Discombobulation
• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Electromagnetism
• Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 - Group Fundamentalism

Giant Complete list: Manga Tournament 1: Round 1 (Complete List)

It was painful but worth it.
If some of the MDList above are incomplete, feel free to ping me (only on the forums though).

bumping this to remind everyone that there's only 3.5 weeks left in round 1. that's 40 days for 6 groups. with 8 manga per group, if you start reading now then you can finish voting if you read 5 oneshots per day. hope this helps.

Talk about homework. Guess who's gonna wait a couple more weeks?

@DavidianMillerian - let me borrow your fingers, I need to check the math on this.

I'll sew them back onto your hands when I'm done with them.

I almost forgot this tournament when in dormant state. Let's start devouring those tasty cookies and pies.

OI.

 

[Edo4169]

This tournament is more tough then the last tournament. All the entry are fun and have their own charm, it's like miss universe, how can you choose one when all the women are gorgeous.

i beg to differ—it's way harder to win a tournament that's rigged by the four guys who commandeered are organizing it.

 

[Angry_Panda]

All I know is that if something happens to cause @DavidianMillerian's extended absence, we have a team ready to step in and see this through.
