CB10, Day 26.

[a_bit_of_wit_2]

I'm honestly surprised. I didn't think Otacon would bow out of the contest, but he does. Raiden knocks him out in a close one to advance to the Semifinals. It is there where he will face Solid Snake, who won easily over EVA, breasts and all. The surprising thing is that Raiden was actually the favorite here--either I'm missing something or you just have no love for techies. Especially ones who have no luck with women. No pity. So be it. Snake and Raiden will face off in the Semifinals, and now we head to our last set of Virtuous Quarterfinals. Winners here will advance to the Semis. Also, an FYI, if you didn't hear the podcast: Metal Gear will take a break this Friday and Saturday evenings, as I'll be out of town. Contest will resume on Sunday and will go straight to the end. Now, back to your regularly scheduled battling. Remember to vote at Late to the Party when you've finished placing your votes here. Here's the leaderboard after the first set of Quarterfinals. Nilfalasiel chuckles as the squabble continues for 2nd and 3rd.
