Otaaaay. You're riiiiight. I'll wait for word from the boss of this tourney to make that nom official.
It doesn't seem like we'll hit 64 with only new nominations, so I'll open up more nominations per person. I think it's safe to open it up to three noms per person, so:
If you've already nominated an album, you can nominate 2 more.
If you haven't nominated anything, what are you waiting for? Also you get 3 nominations.
I'll count NOLA as your second nom, Mercury.

While I am by no means an expert in grindcore I'd say it counts.
And I've updated the blurb about Master of Puppets 😄 Seriously though, I didn't mean that to be condescending, I was mostly worried about having 8 Metallica / Iron Maiden albums nominated which wouldn't make for an exciting tourney. An idea I just had would be, if there are still spots open after everyone's nominated more albums, to throw some classics from the top 750 in there to see how they fair against the other picks. Kind of a "how does the canon stack up against the forum's favorite albums?" thing. Maybe:
Master of Puppets / Ride the Lightning
Paranoid / some other Black Sabbath album
Number of the Beast / some other Iron Maiden album
Something by Dream Theater or Guns n Roses
Let me know what you think, everyone. If the idea gets support I'll decrease the album limit to 60 and throw in some higher ranked stuff, though I don't want to make it seem like I'm just nominating more stuff myself 😁 _________________ And it's hard to be a human being.

Personally I don't like this idea, but it's your tourney chap. You'll end up getting non-regulars just vote for things they've heard on reputation alone which would defeat the whole object of championing some of the more obscure, outside the Top 750 stuff.
Fair enough, I didn't think about people voting based on what they were familiar with. I know it's my tourney but I like to be a benevolent ruler who asks the opinions of his followers.
Also, decided on this for my third pick, we need more doom metal:
