The 2009 Mythic Mini-March Madness Tournament!

For those who don't know, the NCAA College Basketball tournament in March in the US has always been marked by Cinderella stories, exciting brackets and matchups, and the best of the schools all around the country. They don't call it "March Madness" for nothing.

In honor of this event, we're holding a Mini-March Madness Tournament, only instead of favorite teams, you're going to be voting on your favorite Mythic Developers! We've seeded 16 of Mythic's finest according to the great Google and our own forum results, and we want you to decide who wins in the tournament! We are going to be running Daily Polls from Today until April 2nd, where we will have our final head-to-head matchup to determine the Mythic Mini-March Madness Champion for 2009!

The polls work with majority of votes determining the winner, who will survive another day to match up against someone else.

If you want to see the full bracket matchups, look no further than this URL:

We'll be starting our first poll momentarily, so be sure to participate!

Our first matchup is a battle of the Marks! Vote in the poll in this thread, which closes tomorrow on March 21st!

(1) Mark Jacobs has been, for years, one of the most recognizable faces of Mythic. As the VP/GM, he has led his development team to critical success in Dark Age of Camelot, and now, with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Mark's outspoken passion and hands-on interaction with the community has been well-known, and love him or hate him, he is a visible force to be reckoned with in this tournament. Check out his State of the Game address.

(4) Mark Davis is the Live Events Lead for Mythic, the brain behind such things as Keg's End, Night of Murder, and more. Mark has come up with some crazy things, from the Battlebrew Backpack to the Marked for Death quests, and he doesn't show any signs of stopping any time soon. Here's a recent interview to get you acquainted.

Mark Davis looks like he's got his work cut out for him going up against the top dog in Mythic, but can he turn the tables and win the day against overwhelming odds? You, dear community, will decide who advances today. Vote in the poll!

If I somehow beat The Hickman, there's something wrong with the world.

Nahh, You are more popular than the Hickman.

It will be You and Paul in the end and Paul will win because he is a crazy git.

*Edit*
Making a prediction now.
It will be MBJ and Paul Semi Finals in the Left Bracket, Paul Wins
Josh and The Hickman in the Right Bracket and Josh wins.

Paul vs Josh, Paul wins by a 16% margin.

Man, I wish I had some sort of admin power that let me see how people voted when it isn't a public poll. I wish to see how Mythic folks vote on these polls, if any of them choose to vote.

I'm going ahead and making predictions.


Mark Jacobs VS James Nichols
Paul Barnett VS Adam Gershowitz
Jeff Hickman VS Jess Folsom
Josh Drescher VS Carrie Gouskos

Semi-Finals
Mark Jacobs VS Paul Barnett
Jeff hickman VS Josh Drescher

Finals
Paul Barnett VS Jeff Hickman

The only choice I'm not sure about is Andy Belford and Jess Folsom.

You and I have the same brackets. I put Andy to win over Jess though--and that's just because I <3 Andy

I also have Paul to win the tournament

Jess is in it too! She'd be upset if you forgot about her, I'm sure
