The 'Shroom:Ultimate Character Tournament

=Welcome= Welcome to the 1st annual Ultimate Character Tournament! I'm Ralphfan, and I'll be your host. What is the tournament? It's a series of polls in a bracket to determine the best character from the Mario, Sonic, Kirby, DK, Zelda, Banjo, and Conker games! Right now, we're in the planning stages. Meetings are held every week at #ralphchat, but you'll have to use Userpedia, Darkmyst, Mibbit, mIRC, or Chatzilla, etc., because the MW Applet doesn't work for my chat. Meetings are on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm Eastern (Thursdays at 0:30 UTC). We are also on the forum! Please vote on the current polls to determine certain events.

=Meeting 6=  SUMMARY  __HIDER__ We began Mario and got about halfway through because we ran long. We got through every game from Jumpman to SMRPG. We're going in chronological order by when the games were released. MG1 was there for most of the meeting; Tehchomps was very active as well; Packy was there for a good chunk of time; SMB, SLNO, and Yoshario also pitched in. Hopefully, we'll finish Mario next week, but I have the feeling it will go into November 4th's meeting.

Agenda

 * 9/23: Zelda
 * 9/30: DK
 * 10/7: Sonic
 * 10/14: Kirby
 * 10/21 - 11/4?: Mario

We hope to finish next week, but it'll probably run through the start of the November 4th meeting.

Entrants
We added 46 more characters and 0 maybes.
