Dave: It doesn’t look like you’d commented with the new email address until recently. Your comments dated March 19th and earlier all have your old email address on them.

Peter: the more the merrier!

Ald – Al says he’s tried to log in and just keeps getting password denied messages. I think he just needs an account!

Ald,

Yeah, but back BB (before baby) so it’s been at least 4 months – time becomes a bit of a blur. Could be the problem, but why fall over now?

Right. My turn then.

Ah… Cheetah People vs Ogrons. Guns, people! They don’t kill folks, damned dirty apes behind them do. The Ogrons have had a sweet ride in this game, going up against two foes so far who haven’t had equivalent firepower (they could just as easily have been… Vogans). The Cheetah People don’t have guns either, but they have horses, speed and brains. I reckon all they need to do is run one Ogron down and grab its gun. Can they do it? Well you’ve already voted them out, so it makes no difference, but I think so.

Axons vs Choc-a-block-a-Toclafanes
Tie-breaker! The Axons have been damned-near unbeatable too in this game, given their ability to suck the life out of every bout they’ve been in. But I reckon they’ve met their match with the Toclafane, and the Tocs’ speed, forepower and edge-of-insanity will win out. Death to the spaghetti people!

Sea Devils vs Rutans. Another tie. Through this game the Rutans have slimed Judoon who could easily have identified them with their scanners and obliterated them with their blasters, and Racnoss who – well, we never were quite sure what they could do. Get stuck in someone’s bath maybe. We forget that for their mighty morphability and shocking electricks, Leela took one Rutan down with a home-made rocket launcher and some shrapnel. The Sea Devils, already accustomed to wrangling electric beasties, will pulverise them.

Ice Warriors and Sontarans. The trickiest one yet, maybe. The Ice Warriors have the moves, the Sontarans have the speed. The Martians have sonics and swords, the Sontarans have gunsticks. Ice Warriors got initiative… I think they’ll win the first round – but the Sontarans will make a devastating comeback (sniff).

Out of interest, when the Ice Warriors eventually do make it into the new series (a special next year or in series 5), do you think we will see them with swords?

Cheetah people all the way. They’ll hunt those stinky apes down and rend the flesh from their bones.

Axons will belt the Day of the Living Heads clear through the air. Axons win.

Rutans. Ain’t that the truth. Zip zap the Devils will be flat.

I knew it would come to this. Two races who love to fight. I predict this could be the tightest and most equally fought battle so far. Assuming the fight is a combination of ranged and hand to hand (and that the Ice Warriors have swords) then it’s going to be a Cold Day in Hell for the Sontarans. Ice Ice Baby – win to the Warriors.

Hmm, but I have commented before, repeatedly and annoyingly in some cases Why does the system think I need moderation now? (Is someone trying to tell me something??)

Would this be why Al’s not been able to post as well? He’s never been able to log on.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have been able to log in. I haven’t seen any problems with the site.
