Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! After a day and some change hiatus, I make my triumphant return to the tournament. As suspected, George Washington prevails over the king of Middle Earth handily in an 8 to 1 victory. Perhaps in another life, Aragorn. We truck right along with our next bout.
Help me find out who the most awesome/badass character/person of all time is!
How would one accomplish such a task? Why by pitting every awesome and/or badass person/character/historical figure in a 512-person bracket style tournament that leaves only one person standing in the end. Who will it be? You will decide.
There is no voting criteria. You can vote for a participant based on whatever you please. If you feel that person would be the victor in a fist fight, or if you think they're more badass, more epic, have better hair, or if you just like one better than the other. It's completely up to you, the voter. I want people to have fun with this, and perhaps imagine the two participants squaring off face to face.
Today is perhaps what some would consider a battle of obscure personalities and/or characters. To those people, I say..you try making a 512-person tournament and see if you don't start running out of names! We have world famous American poet, Edgar Allan Poe, taking on one of the saltiest characters ever seen on a TV screen, bartender Moe Syzslak from The Simpsons. Poetry lovers take on Simpsons lovers in this weeks showdown!
Edgar Allan Poe
