I beg to disagree. If the one entry that came in 17th (well, 18th actually) had been the top of my "honourable mentions" then if I had dropped a vote from one of my top four that was an obvious slam dunk winner and then placed that one vote on the honourable mention my vote could have been the one that pushed the entry into, at least, a tie for last place. (As it turns out this is a moot point as all eight of my favourites - top three, two "second string" and three "honourable mentions" ended up in the top 16.)

Since Onuyaka is so obviously at the top of this particular heap of villians I feel quite comfortable assuming that he will easily pull off a position in the top three and that losing one vote from me isn't going to irrepairably harm his chances. At worst, I could see the loss of my one vote causing this villian to slide down one run of the ladder but even if he was at 3rd place that still leaves him in the top four. And, as a result, it allows me to give a helping hand to one more submission that I'd personally prefer to see get through more than the others.

My point is simply that you (and everyone) should vote for what you feel to be the best entries and not dole out pity votes for your #5 or #6 choices.

You say your 1 vote won't matter, but what if others follow your example and assume that people are "safe"-- and then those "safe" contenders don't advance to the next round?

I'd hate to be the 1 vote that made the difference between quality and crap.

I'm not attacking you, I just don't think a random sampling of opinions on a message board is statistically reliable enough to predict voting patterns. I personally want to vote for the best, and not rely that the ones I like will pull through without my support.

I would vote for you just because you are a woman, since we are not represented in strong numbers in this competition, but in this round you get my vote for creating an interesting, workable villain, woman or no. Boots of speed? Mind blade for psychic strikes? Excellent. Congrats!

Now, in the interests of full disclosure and fairness to Rob, I must say that, in the end, I've decided to NOT vote for Onuyaka even though it was one of my top two. This is because I'm pretty sure this submission is going to make it into the top 8, with or without my vote, and by not applying my vote here it opens one more slot for me to give someone else a bit of a boost.

I agree with previous posts that the "All-Seeing Eye" is rather tired and cliché, but in my book this entry, along with his previous efforts, really stand out in the crowd.

The cutoff for the Top 16 came down to 1 vote...you're not doing anyone any favors by voting for less qualified entries.

ROB GETS MY TOP FOUR!
