2018 - March Meme Madness - Round 1 Mid Week UpdateSummary
Big energy this tournament with high vote counts and recommendations for all sixteen games with 60 Recs and over 1800 views. Two games need help to avoid a tie breaker, please check out or revisit Game 7 and Game 11 and make a difference!
Founding Father Division Update
Three memes are dominating in games 2, 3 and 4, with Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and Article 6 apparently cruising to easy wins. There is a slug fest going down in Game 1 with Redemption taking it to Minerva, but she's not out of it yet.
Sam Harris Division Update
Similar to the Founding Father Division, three memes in the Sam Harris Division have strong leads in Game 4, 6 and 8. The real story here is the standing tie in Game 7 with Reasonable and Horror battling it out to the end.
Independent Division Update
In the Independent Division there are two games going neck to neck. In Game 10 and unexpectedly strong performance from meme Izzard against fan favorite Norwegian Beaver Cheese and in Game 11 we have our second tie between Says What It Means vs Results May Vary, definitely a game to watch!
Ricky Gervais Division Update
Big energy in the Ricky Gervais Division with the highest total in division Recommendations. In a nut shell, the word for this division is "blowout" with dominant memes in all four games. Kermit the frog and natural selection are getting no love in Game 13.

...you are enjoying the madness.
I'm just glad the ties in Games 7 and 11 have seemed to resolve themselves.
I didn't want to have to make the decision.
