Aaaand Round 2 begins! There are 5 duels this time, as you can see. As usual, they can be done over Skype, PM, written on this thread, or whatever you want. Now, I have to emphasize speed on this one. Round 1 took four months. Therefore, the deadline for these duels to be posted is 9/5/12 now. We'll move on early if all are posted before it. Incidentally, the big problem with Round 1 was having unfair matches (Chiller and Maria, for one), but I won't go through with opponent changes at this stage. Really, just try to write and have fun.

I'm sorry, but if I can't finish the duel this weekend, I think I'll just need to drop out. I've gotten really busy.
I'm really sorry.

No, don't apologize... It's okay. It's not only you that is dropping out, here.
I took on this project months and months ago, and there was a lot more excitement about it then. I even got to create a new minor character, the Reporter, for this. There were mini-interviews and references to the tournament and everything; it's even linked in the first posts of the Tacos.
But that was months ago. I never expected Round 1 to last as long as it did- that was not the fault of any of you who may have taken a while to write the duels, more of a big oversight on my part- and slapping a time limit on Round 2 has produced exactly zero duels faster.
I'm not helping with the speed issue, either. I've been mostly gone, or too... well, too low-energy and critical of myself to write anything more than a few passing lines here and there.
To cut my rambling short, I'm quitting. If anyone else would like to take charge of this, go ahead. But I don't want to bother with the tournament in general anymore. If nobody else wants to pick this project up and do what little "managing" there is, feel free to just post the duels in progress when they're done anyway- you don't have to stop them.
Thanks for participating.

He's digging his heels against the sand.* But I don't— You made a promise, now you have to honor it! Siam: Besides. What's the w— Don't say it! We don't want to tempt fate here! Siam: Oh, stop being such a wuss. It's just a duel, not a fight to the death.*They give him a shove and scatter, leaving him standing by himself* *Pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs* *Zips out* You forgot this. *Hands Nico his helm and zips off* I didn't forget it, you guys dragged me here before I could grab it! *Puts his helmet on, grumbling about annoying brothers*

Caracura's body had no visible reaction, and her face remained covered by her helmet.Calli" *waves a hand* Let it begin. Caracura instantly threw a wave at Magnetman.
