*ding ding ding*
It's Battle Season in BYOB!! Time to see what my fellow yobbers are made of and if you really are all as tough, brutal and relentless as the grey forums always say.

Here's how to enter the ring and bring glory:
Step 1: Post whatever ITT
Step 2: If someone quotes your post, the two posts fight
Step 3: The crowd decides who wins by emptyquoting the winning post
Step 4: The winner takes it all, the loser gets probed

It's that simple!
Posts can be anything: a joke, a drawing, a discussion, a picture of your pet, a song, a photoshop, a video, whatever goes! The challenging post can be a cool follow up, but does not have to be related to the post it attacks - although it might make sense to have some sort of connection, as else the crowd (or I) might turn against you. Either way, if your post gets less votes than the other one for whatever reason, you will be probed and can enter the ring again after 6 hours.
Emptyquoting to vote for a winner means both quoting without any comment or commenting like "lol", "this one wins" and similar short answers to show your appreciation for the post. Be careful though, if your vote actually appears like a follow up or challenge, I may as well just throw you both in the ring and you fight anyways!

There's no minimum or maximum number of votes needed to win or lose, I'll just end the voting and declare a winner after a bit. If in doubt, I will decide who wins based on my completely arbitrary judgment of what post I like more.

Now, who of you maggots is ready for some FIGHTING??

I should probably mention that's crossposted from the GBS garfield eats thread, just so folks don't get any inflated ideas about my photoshop skills. I don't fight dirty.

Round 5 - Chubby vs. nut

nut posted:

Still waiting for results, currently 2 votes to none for nut

Additionally, cactus delivered one follow up against cda (which can't be counted, as he already won the fight) and challenged several valid votes with additional attacks, I leave it up to the authors of the votes if they want to accept that challenge by posting a counter-attack on cactus or if they want to let that opportunity for eternal glory pass. The challenges in question are:

If you got challenged, you may respond to those respectively to enter the ring, or if you did not get challenged yet, you may also separately fight those posts, since EVERYTHING you post ITT might also end up in the ring! :blastu:

Except for votes, which you can (but don't have to) deny entry for.

Also, there are some unchallenged posts up as well, feel free to brawl!!
