    I gotta say, I'm absoloutely gutted on a couple of the results, including one where an everyday first name has made it into the elite eight. Glad people realised that my name doesn't compare to Mo Nercy, though. Shame to see Roogle, edczxcvbnm and Meat Puppet all fall behind on this round. I could see any of them winning a future event. To be fair, though, they all lost to worthy opponents and I still believe that the winner will definitely be from either Division A or C (unless there's a huge upset or a rigging of votes).

    No offence to Xander about the first name thing, but I try to avoid voting for first names at all costs as they have so little originality about them. Spaceman Spiff, while a cool name, is just taken out of a famous comic strip so isn't too original either. I'm not sure if you could call Rye original, given there's a bread out there with the same name, so I'm not too disappointed that she lost to Spiff. Calliope, like Spiff, was just another name taken out of a book. Division D never caught my attention.

    I figured Division B would also be a bit of pot luck, and my only surprise was the winning margin between pr00t and Shoyku, as I think Shoyku is a great name. I don't know if Proto is completely original but it's original enough for me to not recognise it, so I don't have any problems with his win. Levian and Abo going right down to the wire doesn't surprise me at all, both good names but neither of them stood out to me.

    In fact, the only real match I figured would be no real contest in that round would have been the one against me. Go figure. The margin between Del and Roog also surprised me in the same way the pr00t-Shoyku one did.

    Since a lot of my predictions didn't make it this round, I'll go with the following from this state of play... although to be honest, every single one of these matchups could prove to be very close indeed.

    ShlupQuack defeats Dingo_Jellybean.
    Agent Proto defeats Levian.
    Mo-Nercył defeats Del Murder.
    Spaceman Spiff defeats Xander.

    ShlupQuack defeats Agent Proto.
    Mo-Nercył defeats Spaceman Spiff.

    ShlupQuack defeats Mo-Nercył.

    With players such as ed, Meat, Shoy and Roogle out of the way so early, any of those matchups could go either way... so really, I'm just taking a stab in the dark. Although I think the semi-finals should be easy A over B and C over D victories.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Elite Eight
    Division A
    #1 ShlupQuack
    #6 Dingo_Jellybean
    This would be ShlupQuack's fourth overall visit to the Elite Eight, and Dingo_Jellybean's first. While both are original names, Dingo has to prove that the original name can reach the Final Four, as Shlup has been there four times as well in recorded history. Even though Shlup's running been good, she has had a history of losing when it means the most.

    Division B
    #1 Agent Proto
    #7 Levian
    Agent Proto and Levian meets in what seems to be an unexpected match-up in the Elite Eight. Top seeded Proto seems to have power to achieve victory, but also have a history of losing to lower seeded names. Levian may as well be that lower seeded name.

    Division C
    #1 Del Murder
    #6 Mo-Nercył
    Del Murder is an Elite Eight veteran, Mo-Nercył is a newbie there. However, Del Murder has experienced losses in later rounds, several times to the eventual winner of the tournament. Mo-Nercył has the originality to win it all, but does it have the mystique that Del Murder has?

    Division D
    #1 Xander
    #2 Spaceman Spiff
    The first and second seeded names in Xander and Spaceman Spiff make Division D to be one of the tougher match-ups in the Elite Eight. Xander's luck made her past through tough contender Calliope last round, and so did Spiff, however, only one can make it through. Can Shlup, Proto, Del, and Xander make history and make this Final Four be the first with all four top seeded names?

    Oh well, it was close, especially since this is my first time as Rye. I'm rooting for Xander and Lev.

    Vote for the name you think is best. I shouldn't lose votes just because I think chatrooms are lame.

    The probably doesn't make a difference, though, since my popularity seems to usually die out around this time anyway. Mo-Nercył is a good name, though it would be better without the stupid cubed sign.

    Another year, another name that I don't know how to pronounce.

    "Mo-Nercy Cubed"?
    "Mo-Nercy Three"?
    "Mo-Nercy to the power of three"?
