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.
