Forum Battle 2010 - fail to show and suffer the wrath of Sheriff Bogey

What is this?
By now, you either know or can find out on your own. This is far from the first time this contest has taken place here. As usual, there will be 64 total spots, 5 of which have already been filled, and 5 more which are tentatively reserved and may be filled at my discretion. With the exception of the 4 seeded entries, the initial bracket will be randomized. Voting for each battle will once again be active for a 24-hour period.

When/How do I submit my entry?
PM me the link(s). You are in charge of your own web hosting, and there are plenty of free services out there that this really shouldn't be a problem. Either use something reliable or a couple of things that aren't (one set of mirrored links is usually enough, unless you're extremely paranoid or just plain awful at internetting). Just know that once the battle goes up, if your link doesn't work, ha ha.

Since I moved to the west coast last August, in addition to the date of open registration, all due dates for entries will now be at 11:59:59 p.m. in Pacific Time. Please try to remember that all entries are due before the day the battle is set to take place, not by the end of.

What if I don't submit anything?
By signing up for this competition, you are acknowledging that if you fail to submit an entry on time or do submit an entry that is the equivalent of "whatever, I'm out" or "whoops, I forgot," bad things will happen to you. No-shows from last year are barred from participating this year. 2008 no-shows, should they wish to enter, are eligible once more.

Are there prizes?
It depends on what you consider valuable.

Does ASimPerson have an archive of past contests?
What an oddly specific question. But yes, he does. However, it only dates back to 2007, so it's missing all the classic, original contests.

Can I see it?
No.

Please?

Remember that the break time between rounds will shrink as the competition wears on. The better your entries are, the more likely you're about to enter a world of pain. Best of luck.

    That's cause it was one of those "so bad you think it has to have a deeper meaning things" when really it was just a terrible joke.
