I think everyone is overanalyzing this a little bit. Whether or not if it can be argued that Y or Haku belong in the 'finals' the fact is they're both dicks. Do you really think either of them care about winning? What makes it worse is that the voting takes place on the forums. I know Haku isn't the biggest fan and considering the only time I see Y talk about the forums is when he pastes a link on IRC and tells the mods to do their job, lol.
In other words, when both of them decide to waste their time even posting here it's pretty much to get a reaction out of all you, which is pretty amusing considering the one's they have got.
By the way Knives being banned is nothing new to IRC. You can call him one of the trolls of IRC if you like. He knows full well he's going to get banned anyway, considering half the time he tries for it. Same goes for Carnage. As for five people being in the channel (and no animemaniax this isn't my queue for another debate between us, it's not even directed to you really) we're actually at the highest we've been at for awhile.
I just find it pretty funny that people who probably actually have intelligence care more about who's voting for who and whether that vote was legitimate than the two finalists do.
