Iron Chef XIII: Vigilante

[true_shinken]

So I believe Rhys won?

Ozy, could you give me the contact information of the guy that makes the trophies?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Um...you're...wrong? I think.

A minor quibble, but Nightwatch and The Judge are tied for 4th, as per my calculations.

Yup, you're right. Kesnit may have altered vote cuz my pasted copy doesn't show it 10.5 originally.

[OMG PONIES]

Ozy, time to stick a fork in this one? Shinken, Ozy will contact Strategos for this round's trophies...I think you're free to start round XIV.

Yeah, I meant I need his contact information to request the trophies for the next one ^^

Also, Ozy still hasn't pronounced the official winner.

The final standings for this round are in and the winner is
Amphetryon's Rhys, with a total score of 58.5.

In second place is The Vorpal Tribble's Sally, with a total score of 58.

The rest of the standings are as follows.
3rd--OMG Ponies's Dymphna, 55.5
4th--WinWin's The Judge, 53.5
4th--Kestrel404's Nightwatch, 53.5
6th--Rancor1's Allistair “The Night Angel” Vansen, 52
7th--DaragosKitsune's Viyana, The Unseen, 49.5
8th--darbythegambler's Oduk Nanoc, 43.5

In addition, since he was unable to compete primarily do to my error,
Dark_Nohn's Vandel Juxtevin warrants an Honorable Mention.

I've not yet heard back from the illustrious Strategos regarding my inquires on trophies for the last contest, nor have my fervent cries for a fill in artist been answered. I will however, follow up and see if I can get a hold of Strategos tomorrow, since she (the avatar looks female at least) seems to have been active as of late.

P.S. for true_shinken: Strategos's contact information is Strategos. You PM her.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Curses! I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling judges and their dislike of Artificer crafts!

You may have won this time, Amphetryon, but I'll have the treasure someday!

*is lead away in handcuffs*

[Amphetryon]

Hooray, 9th (?) time's the charm! VT, it was a real nail-biter of a race there at the end, and could easily have gone to you or a couple of other entrants.

[Grynning]

Grats to both of you. There was some tough competition in this one, after I did my scores I knew it was still anyone's game, though I'm glad Rhys came out on top. I think he and Nightwatch were my personal favorites out of the bunch; I guess Nightwatch's Batman references and low number of Vigilante levels were pretty divisive among the other judges though.

Yeah, that's sad, I really liked Nightwatch.

Congratulations, Amphetryon! You really deserved this prize.
I'll be posting the next challenge in a matter of minutes.

Ozy, thanks for hosting the last Iron Chefs. Will you be joining us as a judge/contestant?

New contest is up

[OMG PONIES]

Congrats to the winners! I now see my problem--I was reading the Heir of Siberys requirements wrong. I took "Race: dragonmarked race" to be "Race: any dragonmarked race," while it could just as easily (and more logically) be read "Race: member of the dragonmarked race corresponding to your Siberys Mark."

Mea culpa. Man, now I'm wondering what the scores would have looked like if Dymphna was an Elf Monk 2/Paladin 5/Vigilante 5/Heir of Siberys 3/Vigilante +5. Oh, hindsight. Plus, Dymphna d'Thuranni sounds like a pretty sweet name, and she could have rebelled from the more shady ways of her House.

Yeah, that probably would have tipped Dymphna up into the running for #1. She already was tied for second highest score from me. I honestly wish I'd seen that build a long time ago, she'd have been perfect for a Sharn-based urban intrigue campaign I was in a few years back, though I probably wouldn't have gone VoP.

Sweet, Amphetryon finally bags one!

And, again, it's not that I disliked any of the builds, it's a matter of how builds are graded in Iron Chef that some criteria may have been low. darbythegambler's Oduk, for example. It was wonderfully insightful to get double Bard casting but it lacked polish that could have made it wonderfully better. Plus, the focus wasn't on Vigilante. Oduk was easily my favorite but it just didn't meet up with the criteria that builds are judged on. I'd love to delve into that build and fix it up and play that character but, well, that's something for another time, neh?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

All I can say is Iron Man is gonna have something to say when the Superhero Union finds out vigilante justice and smithing aren't thought to go together...

Quick note: The gender indicator on Strategos says male, FWIW.

Come on Trib, Sally was less like Iron Man and more like the Quintessions (or Primus, depending on your canon) creating an army of Transformers.

[Amphetryon]

Any word from Strategos?

[Amphetryon]

Still no trophies?

*dramatic sigh*

Strategos never answered me
