Votes Tallied
I think that might be part of the burnout... there aren't any exciting bandwagons.
Still, this is certainly more interesting.

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Now Voting: Motivation]
Is the first post up to date?
And yeah, I am noticing a degree of burnout. Perhaps you should hold off on the spectacle that will be VUAV X for a while, then. Don't want to have it flop due to voter burnout.

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Now Voting: Motivation]
As far as I'm aware it is.
And yes, I may just do that. :smallfrown: Too bad. I was very much looking forward to it.

Curiosty
Something trying to understnad everything can be VERY scary. Look at what humans did.

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
you could announce when the voting's over y'know:smalltongue:

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
:smalleek: I didn't?
The votes are tallied, and Depression has taken the day!
The resulting villain, Tsartajius, will be posted soon.
You would have to give me the one alignment Depression doesn't mesh with, wouldn't you... :smallannoyed:

Yay villain. Nay Depression. I still don't think Depression is much of a motive.

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Agreed, main reason I wanted curiosty, much better fit. :smallfrown:

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
I mean, this is really no fun. Now I have a sad, lawful hideous thinking monstrosity. The first two really undermine the fun ones.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Could we possibly get a re-vote, and if it overpowers the first, change it?
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Absolutely not. :smallannoyed: No burning the pseudodemocracy.

I explicitly voted Depression because I thought it meshed well with the lawful alignment and uniqueness.

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Alrighty, you wanna give the the obligatory PM of how you saw that working? Because I was scrambling for quite a bit and I'm still tinkering with something currently unsatisfying.
On the bright side, I certainly got Unique (Horrific) down.

Wasn't Frankenstein's monster essentially a horrific, depressed creature? Granted, I don't know that it was LN, and I suppose it would technically be a construct, but it proves that the concept is at least basically workable.
Granted, Afro, I trust you will put your usual fantastic spin on whatever you do come up with. :smallsmile:

Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Poop. Everyone seems to like giving AA tricky alignments. I personally reckon this one is a particularly poor choice (as I said when I voted). In addition to it being, as AA said, just not fun, it's too close to self-loathing, which we've already had, and it really doesn't lend itself to being actively villainous.
EDIT: I have some ideas, though, which I've decided to cut from this post and PM to AA so that he can somehow convert them into awesome...
... but still, I rather think I should have switched my vote to Curiosity just to scupper it in the name of fun. Grr.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
I've sent you my PM - it's trickier than I thought, but still not that bad.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
It's tricky enough to be a real pain, and I don't want to take the easy ways out. They're also less fun, which is something that I generally see as important. Even Meridius was fun.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Yeah, seems like my ideas and Thane's didn't help much. Anyone else got anything?
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Don't worry about that; I am fiddling with my own ideas. I just dislike that everything I look at seems to detract from the horrific nature of the villain.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Woooo Depression! Mopey Emo monster is on the attack!
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
And his species: Horrifyingemostoogethingy
Now you see why I wanted curiosity...
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Depression won. *sighs*
Well, if past villains are anything to go by, I know Afro will manage to make it awesome, weird restrictions be darned.
-
Re: Vote Up A Villain IX! (3.X) [Voting Closed, Villain Pending]
Well, I hope to post Tsartajius tonight... comic willing.

Is this a Russian or eastern Asian name?
Tsar=Russian? ta?
jius seems chinese or somthing similar, possibly middle eastern...
Randon semi off-topic question @ afroakuma:
Will any of these villains or monsters that you Zeta, ans Shadow_Elf make be featured in the VUACS?

It combines features of Russian, Japanese and Latin, if you look at it that way.
Me, I just pulled it out of some dark, creepy corner of my brain.

This villain seems to be taking longer than usual.

Nah, it's only been a day or so. Let 'im take his time, it'll be better for it. :smallwink:

You don't say. Maybe the ridiculous alignment and motivation combination, coupled with one of the most difficult Unique types to successfully work with (there are all of two Horrifics that I've found in all of the Monster Manuals) is making things tough.
I'm getting there.
