Day of the Tentacle is the best adventure game of all time

Thank you Caliburn, but to be honest I expected something like this may happen in the late stages of the tournament. Unfortunately I made a mistake counting that absolutely everyone lurking these forums will be honorable and won’t resort to fishing or similar mischiefs and didn’t state the rule explicitly, but as AdorableMogwai said, for a lot of things rules don’t need to be expressly spelled out because it’s a common sense.
Now everything is very clear and I hope we can get over this.

In this kind of tournaments, where relatively few people participate, sudden influx of organized, “foreign” fanbase completely destroys and obliterates everything in matter of minutes, and some effort was still invested into all this.

What’s a tournament without a little controversy Bogi? 

I do agree with the thinking and attitude of yourself and Caliburn and, although Lucien21 has pretty much made sure DotT will now go through (he’s no idea what the best game of all time is!  ), it wouldn’t have stood a chance if the Tex Murphy fan base had gotten involved BECAUSE of the tournament and not because they were already members here. There is a pretty large and devoted Tex following which is based within two forums and easy to inform and update. This is one of the reasons (not specifically about Tex) I offered up my compromise solution some time back.
Sad as I am to see Tex go, barring any late miracles, I’m not going to stamp my feet and have a hissy fit. I might even get to try DotT which I’ve never played.
And, although no doubt congratulations will come your way at the end of the tournament, I’m going to post mine here as I think you (and Caliburn) have done an excellent job and provided us all with a lot of fun

Any if someone told 1900 members of Sierra Gamers and 600 members of Sierra Chest to support GK? What’s the point, to determine which game has the biggest fan base worldwide?

Not at all Diego. I was just making what I thought was a valid point (which looks like it was incorrect - I’m happy to live and learn ). You do add to my overall reasoning though if you take the whole of my original post into account.
