with just AWA I had to be VERY VERY doubly sure about who compeated... but now that Acen and Fanime picked it up I can have "hack" challengers like Doki Doki and D-Dubbah
once I get to the "magic" number of 5 cons regularaily doing IC then I can have a wider selection of editors and challengers... I fon't think though I will do more than 7 cons... 5-6 is my goal...
OK say what you want about me, but Doki Doki isn't a hack

Experiments eh?
I'd still like to do Iron Chef vs. Iron Chef (even past Iron Chefs). And yes, I'd like to be one of them to get stomped by Hsien or Tim

I don't think you guys are getting what I'm saying though.
This would be a friendly competition for fun for editors who ARN'T in Iron Chef.
Do you think 4-5 editors get to everything? Why not get the others involved. Like some of the other forum regulars. Not just you guys who do everything. =\
I'm not saying "Hey, everyone who does Iron Chef has to do this [if it ever is made]" I am saying "Hey, guys who do Iron Chef, is this a good idea for people who don't do Iron Chef to get involved in?"
Implementing eh?
BTW, what says that you can't do Iron Chef in the comfort of your own home with your friends and peers? I mean it's not like Quu has some monopoly on it or something. It's just an event for the con.
The only things missing are an audience (which probably makes it less stressful for you) and ultimately some flimsy title that means nothing. I mean seriously, "Iron Chef ACen/Fanime/AWA," who cares? We also don't get any sort of prize or anything. Hell, all I got was a pen from the hotel staff because they felt sorry for me.
Also as AD has already answered quite nicely, it's not the same people everytime. The iron chef obviously is the one who won last year, but the challenger changes every year.
In fact, two of the three iron chefs this year (ACen/me and Fanime/Tim) were challengers this year. Obviously all three of us are getting new challengers who have never done it. I know that Brad Demoss, Nigel, Joe Croasedaile, Justin Emerson and Outlaw have all done it as well (as challengers or Iron Chefs). So don't worry, more then 4 people get the opportunity to do it, but as AD said, it ultimately is how entertaining you can be and if you *can* do it. I know it sounds elitist or arrogant, but you gotta be able to do it and deal with that stress since it's a con event and people wanna be entertained.
Again, nothing's stopping you from doing it in the privacy of your own home with friends. I know the Hypeo, Mindwarp and RVP folks do that and have a great time.
