Welcome to the second group of the opening round of the Villain Madness XLV! This year, we’re doing things a little differently as we’ve been taken hostage and need YOUR votes in order to be released! Now, we know that many of you would prefer we stay captive, but ask yourself this: Then how would you get back the money we borrowed to help pay off our various liquor debts? So please, do the right thing and vote, VOTE, VOTE! (voting for this round ends March 19 with winners announced that very afternoon! and don’t forget to vote in yesterday’s group if you haven’t already!)
