So I lied. The copypasta looked delicious, but I don't want to wait that long to get this thing underway. First up, more copypasta in the form of rules!

Ahem...

The rules!
1. Don't post your votes.
2. PM your votes to Agent Proto Jiro.
3. Vote for one name from each match-up. You should have eight names chosen for each bracket this round.
4. If you wish to not vote for a match-up, please leave a blank.
5. Please title your Mognet Messages accordingly! (Not optional.)
6. If you wish to change any votes, please title your Mognet Message "Vote Change" and indicate which votes you wish to change. Don't just send a revote including vote changes.
7. In case of a tie, I may contact someone who has not voted to be used as a tiebreaker.

Do you want an example of how your votes should look like? Don't worry, I've got you covered, hombre!
