Hello all!
Thank you to EVERYONE who has participated in this Tournament, it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences for me seeing people get so involved in this throughout each one of the rounds.
And now we come to the FINAL MATCH.
The voting was tense and exciting, especially in the last 24 hours....
IF you read this blog or my Facebook page yesterday, you know that a shred of doubt was raised in terms of the results of the Semi-Finals. An "interesting" influx of votes from a few locations within a span of a few hours gave me the fear that bots were being used the make automated queries to the site resulting in those votes. It made me think, are these results accurate...are they even fair? When people have voted on this, for the most part they can't vote again just only change their vote. I have been explained that there are ways around that. I am no expert by no means, but seeing how the voting went for that last day.....even I was like DAMN! For this tournament I had NOT taken into into account that something like this could happen.
THAT is where I am torn....going by the logic of the results...the Final Match should be the MAC II VS. the VF-1J BLUE.
Yet were the results obtained in a fair manner? Well people are going to like their mecha and even I have said when talking about the Tournament..."Tell a friend, tell a friend of a friend, tell a friend of a friend of a friend....etc." Like I said...I have been torn over the last few hours....
Now, I have been able to ascertain some facts of the situation, of which I'm not going to discuss here. I've been feeling like crap all weekend due to a severe cold and cough but that's not enough to keep me from deciding on what to do.
Time to go into "Random" mode......The voting was so close...and my "little kid" side said......"
Golly gee whillakers...I wish all of them could be the winner!" Of course in this harsh world....things like are just NOT possible.
Therefore, and I want to thank Brian3D for this inspiration.....
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, THE PROTOCULTURE TIMES PROUDLY BRINGS TO YOU....THE FINAL MATCH FOR THE ONE AND ONLY...

A FOUR-WAY DANCE TO THE FINISH!

I think this is the best solution taking all factors (hopefully) into consideration!
