Week 8 (Round 1, Matches 29-32)

Two more are on the list. Buckaroo Banzai joins the sous-chiens, who themselves join the negative scorers (credit to A-bear for nobly pointing out I neglected to deal him a squash penalty). Melephant also joins the board with the [upset?] victory of Wonder Woman over Wolverine.

Three pool players remain without any icons on the board. How long can they last?

Comments:
I think we should institute a round two rule that states you lose a point each week that you don't vote.

Baconwrapped and Hutch are riding the coat tails of luck (or excellent picks) to have not lost a character yet. Moxywomen votes week after week and has done a great job of swaying votes in her characters direction.

Having said that, I didn't join the first Iconoclash until the second round, so maybe the voting picks up as the characters diminish.

But it's a great game with lots of effort being put in by the organizers. If you've signed up to be part of the betting pool, you should make the weekly effort to vote - or face the penalties.

Just my two cents worth...
 
moxywoman has not voted, but considering her impending migration off-continent, it shouldn't be held against her.
Hutch occasionally votes.
Baconwrapped does not.

I think it is ironically funny that the least participatory members are the ones doing the best in the pool. Perhaps for that reason alone there should be no penalty.
