    Round 2
    Alexandria Bracket
    1.Hypoallergenic Cactuar
    1.Kirobaito
    2.Clo
    2.Vermachtnis
    3.Genius Lynx
    3.Whiffles
    4.Christmas
    4.Jessweeee♪

    Some strong results in this bracket by Hypo and Vermachtnis. I hadn't pegged Vermachtnis as a contender, mostly due to the fact that I can't pronounce it to save my life. I'm still favouring Whiffles to take out this bracket, with a good finish for Genius Lynx.

    Burmecia Bracket
    1.Flying Mullet
    1.Jiro
    2.Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World
    2.Shattered Dreamer
    3.Fuzakeru
    3.Moon Rabbits
    4.Hambone
    4.Shoeberto

    I doubt I'll make it through this round, Flying Mullet has excelled in this contest quite a number of times. The outcome of bouts 5 and 6 are the inverse to what I had expected -- I thought Bunny would triumph and Moon Rabbits would be knocked out. I still think this bracket belongs to Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World. If someone manages to knock him off, then I will eat my shoe.

    Cleyra Bracket
    1.Woodinator
    1.Freya
    2.unbreakable Rocco
    2.TheAbominatrix
    3.Depression Moon
    3.Pete for President
    4.Zell's Fist of Fury
    4.Captain Maxx Power

    The ever successful Woodinator is still in the competition. But both of my underdogs -- Zell's Fist of Fury and Captain Maxx Power -- are still in the race. However they're up against each other this round -- I'm not sure who'll take it out.

    Dali Bracket
    1.I Don't Need A Name
    1.Nominus Experse
    2.theundeadhero
    2.Loony BoB
    3.War Angel
    3.Melissaur
    4.eternal essence
    4.Naomi The Insane

    I thought Timekeeper would get up over Melissaur, but it was a tight match up there so well done. I'm not sure who'd be the favourite to take out this bracket, but I think newcomer Naomi The Insane has a good chance of snaking it.

    Esto Gaza Bracket
    1.Blues Agent
    1.black orb
    2.Dr. Acula
    2.The Space Pope
    3.crono_logical
    3.Old Manus
    4.Zeldy
    4.Dignified Pauper

    Blues Agent is Mr Reliable, always puts in a good showing. Dr. Acula usually does well too, but has a tough challenger in the form of The Space Pope. My dark horse for this bracket is crono_logical, I have a feeling he'll make it to the later stages.

    Fire Shrine Bracket
    1.Mr Twisticles
    1.Iceglow
    2.fire_of_avalon
    2.Rye
    3.Rantzien
    3.ShlupQuack
    4.Cuchulainn
    4.Marshall Banana

    Mr Twisticles dashed BoB's hopes for the Hobo in round one. If I was a good commentator I'd go and get stats and see who has knocked out the Hobo in tourneys past and see if there's a pattern, but I'm not so I'll just say Mr Twisticles would be my safe bet to take the cup. This isn't a weak bracket by any means though, so look for some tight match ups.

    Gaia Bracket
    1.Ouch!
    1.Wolf Kanno
    2.Momiji
    2.eestlinc
    3.Breine
    3.Roogle
    4.Guardian XIII
    4.scrumpleberry

    I'm gonna be honest -- I don't think I voted for any of these victors. I'm going to peg Guardian XIII and eestlinc as my favourites for this bracket, but obviously I have no smurfing idea

    Qu's Marsh Bracket
    1.Mikeneko Rocker -- Tim
    1.Alive-Man
    2.qwertysaur
    2.Fujiko
    3.Raven Nox
    3.smittenkitten
    4.Fonzie
    4.Citizen Bleys

    Our friend Mikeneko Rocker -- Tim is of course the favourite in this bracket. I had picked vinnie's mini's to get up over smitkit, but smittenkitten still poses a threat to the other competitors. Citizen Bleys is an outside chance too I imagine.

    I want to point out that there are currenty three Staffer v. Staffer match-ups!

    One in Dali, and two in Fire Shrine. So far, I have unofficially dubbed Fire Shrine as the Staff Bracket

    Dali: theundeadhero v. Loony BoB
    Fire Shrine: fire_of_avalon v. Rye and Rantzien v. ShlupQuack

    Funny thing is, the Fire Shrine Bracket have a Cid's Angel match-up and an Admin match-up going.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Ver-Mach-t-nis. Break it up like that and It's easier to sound it out. Ver like saying vermin or Vermont. Mach like in Mach 3. (Rhymes with lock) Follow up the mach with a quick hard t and the nis sounds like ness. Vermachtnis.

    Imagine if he was named vermkvfjtrzxcxzjbrshvwlzrntfrmetnis or something like that.

    How about edczxcvbnm? There's no way to pronounce the entire name, yet it won!

    Ok, so I've done the task for Jiro. Checked out the previous tournaments that The Shoeless Hobo was in and here were the results of my findings.

    From most recent to earliest. I'll list the round he was knocked out and the name that knocked him out. An asterisk indicates the tournament winner.

    Round 1
    Mr Twisticles

    Elite Eight
    Rad Bromance*

    Final Four
    I Took The Red Pill*

    Final Four
    scrumpleberry

    --
    n/a

    Round 3
    41-Inches-Wide

    It appears that the name that knocked out the Hobo in the last two tourneys were the eventual winners. Will it continue for this tournament?

    Eh, I hate to double post, but come on guys! We have the rest of the day to get some votes in! Let's at least try to break 15 votes! That's like only 5 people to go!

    I just told you now what. Hobo will be mentioned all the time until the Hobo reigns supreme. Can't you read!?

    The Shoeless Hobo should win this contest because it's a great name. No need for popularity.

    Mr. Twisticles? Is that a reference to some kind of American candy?

    EDIT: I think you have less votes because there is no longer any need for all those party poopers to vote against The Shoeless Hobo anymore, so they've lost interest. What jerks!
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    I don't think he's lost votes because of that. I kinda think you and me are the only people who actually care about TSH anyway, and I only care because you care.

    Never would I want to knock my own name, but I wish I could change it every year.

    How many new names were introduced this time around, Proto? I noticed some while voting, but since I refuse to guess or double-check, I must ask.

    Well, I'm not 100% sure about this, but I estimate about 10 names are newly introduced this time around. A couple names were re-introduced after a lengthy period of absence, like Zell's Fist of Fury!
