Odyssey Madness - The Second Round

[Storm]

Well, its about that time again, March Madness!

Last year we had a great contest with "The Time Has Come" winning.

This year, I am asking for more episodes from you that are your favorite, and with new episodes and more people, I was wondering what the ToO's favorite odyssey episode is...

So send in your favorite 30 episodes, no need to rank them in order, I will just compile them all together and seed them accordingly.

However this won't start until I have at least 20 submissions. The contest I would like to start this thursday or earlier...

If you could PM me with your choices soon that would be great.

And now... Let the Madness Begin!

[Chandler]

Oh, fun! I'm going to make a list right now!

[Storm]

We already have one submission, keep them coming twenty is on its way...!

[Gandalf]

I didn't do this last year. Question: Do two-part stories count as 1 or 2?

[Storm]

Just 1, also Gone...But not Forgotten, counts as one

[Kairi]

I also have a question: Do "Rescue at Manatugo Point" and "Operation Digout" count as a two-part episode? They're connected, that's why I asked.

[Storm]

Anything that seems to have ties I might put together if I have a bunch of Rescue ... and Operation ... then I may just put them together as a bunch, so put them together or keep them separate, if I feel like you need to send in another option, I'll just PM you...

Update: I will not be able to do this tournament if I do not get any more submissions, so please send them in

[Chandler]

Then I guess "It Started with a Rabbit's Foot..." and "... It Ended with a Handshake" would also be counted as one episode.

[King Butter Turtle]

Then I guess "It Started with a Rabbit's Foot..." and "... It Ended with a Handshake" would also be counted as one episode.

...and Gone/But Not Forgotten and No Way in/No Way out. Generally, episodes with different titles that tell the same story in multiple parts are for all intensive purposes considered two parters.

[LizzieG]

I'm bumping this because this is a cool idea that needs more participation.

Also, I spent a long time compiling my Top 30, and it better not be for nothing!

[Chandler]

Also, I spend a long time compiling my Top 30, and it better not be for nothing!

You spend a long time on everything AIO-related!


I was lazy and just ran my eye over the list of episodes and quickly picked out 30.

[Storm]

Here is a little update on how it is going.

I have had 7 submissions (including myself) and so far the ones with the most votes are:

The Perfect witness - with five votes
I Slap Floor - four votes
The Mortal Coil, I and II - four votes
The Time Has Come - four votes

All with three votes

Gifts for Madge and Guy, Solitary Refinement, Wooing Wooton, The Last Great Adventure of the Summer, Gone…But not forgotten, The Final Conflict, Someone to Watch Over Me, The Search for Whit, Passages, Two Friends and a Truck, The Forgotten Deed, 484–487: Plan B, I–IV, Recollections, The Imagination Station, Back to Bethlehem I-III, For Whom the Wedding Bells Toll I-III, Malachi's Message I-III


So keep on sending in your choices. If I do not get enough submissions, then I will just use what you have given me for the contest, but it will not reflect the opinion of the board as well.

[Chandler]

*plugs*

It's not hard people! Just run your eye over a list of AIO eps and write down the ones that catch your eye. If you forget one, oh well. It's not the end of the world.





Or is it?

[Irwin]

This will be fun
*sends in list*

[Storm]

It would seem fitting, as today is the last day of the Men's College Basketball Tournament, that today should be the first day of the Adventures in Odyssey Episode Tournament.

Although I only have a few submissions, we will be starting the tournament today regardless of the number of submissions. However, it would be great if I could get ten submissions because right now, the tournament consists of only a few members favorite episodes.

There will be many games today, what you will need to do, is post your choices for the winners of the game in a row or at least numbered.

Here are the games:

1. The Perfect Witness vs. 16. Castles & Cauldrons

1. The Time Has Come vs. 16. Do or Diet

1. The Mortal Coil vs. 16. Amazing Grace

1. The Imagination Station vs. 16. Blind Justice
