I’ll look into Saimoe, but I have a feeling that if you dig a bit deeper into the Google search you’ll find other blogs that have dealt with it already in pretty comprehensive terms. Just a hunch…

Nobody really knows why, which makes it all the more sad. On a lighter note, I concede that the production team of GITS:SAC can do little wrong in my eyes...

So far based on Google and wiki searches, I've only found these two links that sorta tell me what it's about: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=36686 and http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%80%E8%90%8C (am not that proficient with nihongo to appreciate the above wiki stub) would you be kind enough to bring us into the new Net-based phenomenon? (I assume that the saimoe tournament is a recent development that hasn't gotten much media coverage?) *off topic*
