Gender Wars 2009: Results Thread

Results Thread

The time has finally come! There have been delays, questions, and building tension. Now, here in this very post, I will announce the winning team of the 2009 Zelda Universe Gender Wars. This year Power Shot lead his team, looking for revenge against Dog Dog 123 and the girls. A total of 7 battles took place with both the men and women putting in some amazing entries. And I have tallied up the judge's scored of them to determine the winner.

But before I let you know which team it is, I would like to make a few thanks. First of all I'd like to thank our Captains, Power Shot and Lex leading the boys, and Dog Dog leading the girls. Xeno, Sabbo, and BJ put in a lot of time judging each entry of every event, as well as contributing ideas and comming up with the marking rubrics. Felix the Cat, Margar, and Kassi were all involved however due to IRL issues were not able to stay with us through the whole thing. However they did a lot to help out none the less. And finally, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the Gender Wars. To all these people, none of this could have been done without you!

Now I'm know everyone is dying to know who won, sooooo let me announce the team MVPs! I asked the captains of each to to pick one contestant who they think did the best job for thier respective teams.

For his willingness, persistance, and bravery in the face of the women's disregard for human life, Aniday has been named the boy's MVP. In his second consecutive GW dare, he was chased off a poarch by a guy he willingly pissed off to score points for his team.

The girl's MVP participated in a total of 4 events, excelling in each one. For putting in so much effort and time, ChibiAyanami has been named the girl's MVP.

Congratulations to both of you, and jobs well done!

And now for the moment everyone has been waiting for. The winner of the Gender Wars. Let me first say that both teams did a great job, but only one could come out on top. To determine this, each person's score wass averaged out between the judges. The team scores were then tallied up for each event, and the team with the higher score won that event. The exception to this was the haiku assault in which the scores were put head to head for each battle. The team which won the most events, won the war. Winning by only 1 event, with a score of 4-3, the bragging rights this year go to...



















TEAM LASSIE!


Congratulations ladies. This marks the second consecutive win for the ZU girls. Despite ebing so much smaller in number, the lassies have overcome the boys. This means that they will be going for the three-peat win next year. Try not to rub it in too much girls.


Now I know many of you are curious as to how you did, so I'll post up the event's scores. Please remember these are the average total scores for everyone. Please to not go chasing down judges asking them to see you scores or why they makred the way they did.

Then why didn't they for the essay dispute?... Double standards, or there an active reason- cheating or disqualification on the boys part or such like.

Congratulations Team Lassie --- well done. Better luck next year, Men.

Well done to the entire Gender Wars team for orchestrating this event. Here's to next year's Gender Wars.

Could you please point out where this was agreed upon? I've looked around but can't seem to find anything saying this.

Wrong contest. You still have a point, but you're looking in the wrong place.

I say close enough!

and even so their scores there were higher then the means so talking about it is a waste of time.

Garbage.

Revenge is in order.

Not that I'm one to gloat, but....YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girls rule! Oh, and congrats, everyone and stuff!

The essays were supposed to have 3 entries, the third was just never subbmitted.

No because I don't feel like going and looking for it.

The ladies won again? Woo! That's fantastic. Well done, ladies (: <3 I didn't take part this time around, but I did watch with interest from the sidelines. I was particularly lolzy with Margar vs. Cody, and I think it was super_fergus' arty entry that gave me a good chuckle.

Good show, ladies. I think this is going in the podcast--we're sorting that with our news gai right now (wheee, Matt, looks like it'll be announced afterall! xD).
