    1. Elan. I wonder what are the chances, that both of the nameless resistance leaders ended up against the two most frequent characters of the comic.

    2. NOOOOOooooooo... the toughest voting decision I have to make so far. *sigh*. Okay, it's the IFCC.

    3. Another tough one. I like the bounty hunters, so it's Enor. Sam's dad is burried too long in the past.

    4. This is easy. Zz'dtri. Haerta is one of the most loathsome characters in the comic, while the terse drow is cool. I was expecting his creepy "Hello." to be used as a quote, it was hilarious.
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    Actually, I retract my third vote. Between Samantha's Dad and Enor, there is nothing to choose. A plague on both their houses.

    Well, I'm torn for the first one, because Eyepatched Resistance Leader contributed one of my favorite one-liners. But in the end, he's no competition for Elan.

    For some reason, I always really liked Gannji...

    ...and Enor.

    I didn't love either character of the last pair, but Haerta Bloodsoak is less annoying.

    Eyepatched Resistance Leader. Sigh. The one scene he had was incredibly memorable. I respect him for that. Fare thee well, Eyepatch ResistanEce Leader. May this vote add some small amount of comfort as you are tossed into the abyss by Elan.

    Gannji. I need to continue my pointless war against those who will win, apparently, though unless the IFCC were up against someone incredibly lame, I'd still vote against them.

    Enor. I have a soft spot for those two guys. They were among the ones I was wishing would get a bonus story about, before some dude picked Belkar.

    Zz'dtri. That was close, though. I enjoyed Haerta's brief stint.

    Elan of course.

    IFCC. I like Gannji but the archfiends are simply pros at what they do. And they had funnier lines, too.

    Samantha's dad. I like Enor's relationship with Gannji but Enor himself doesn't really stand out from all the oafs of the comic. Plus I like the strip where the tree falls on Samantha's dad.

    Zz'dtri. I've really been liking Z ever since his triumphant return.

    Elan - Must I explain?

    IFCC - I love the potential these guys have. Eeeevil potential.

    Samantha's Dad - The bandit arc is probably my favorite pre-WAXP storyline. And I don't much care for the bounty hunters.

    Haerta Bloodsoak - Darth V is always fun, and, once again, bounty hunters.

    Elan. Bard logic is a must for surviving grad school.

    Gannji. Much love for the bounty hunters, the Star Wars repartee with Tarquin, and the surprising bucket of feels from their arena scene.

    Enor. I actually kind of prefer Sam's dad character-wise, but we need Enor to make it through: it would just be too perfect to have Gannji and Enor face off against each other down the line...

    Zz'dtri. ...

    Gannji. Tough one -- the IFCC are funny and have great dialogue -- but the fact that they're cloaked, the fact that there are three of them, and the fact that they have indistinguishable personalities prevents them from fully popping as characters for me. Gannji, however, is interesting as an individual -- I like the way Rich writes his neutral characters.

    Enor Can't have George without Lennie.

    Zz'dtri Another tough one, because Darth Vaarsuvius was my favorite arc in the comic, and Haerta's familicide was a big part of that. However, Haerta herself wasn't that memorable. Z wins pretty much by default.

    Gannji - This one was pretty tough, and ultimately came down solely to the fact that I've always imagined Gannji as sounding kind of like Bugs Bunny.
    Samantha's Dad - I agree with the comment above that Enor, on his own, failed to distinguish himself that well from other slow-witted characters in the comic.
    Zz'dtri - Zz'dtri has become surprisingly cool since his return for someone who started out solely as a Drizzt joke.

    It actually took me a while to warm up to Elan. Initially he was to me a perfect composite of every annoying, dumb, excessivley nice person I'd ever met- so I felt Roy's pain... but the thing about Elan is, he really grows on you, so now he's one of my favorites [all this aside from the fact that he's also one of the main characters, is the focus of most of the secondary plots, has had significant and amazing character development, has introduced two great villains and a god, and that I really dislike the eye-patch resistance leader character...]

    The second was harder because I really like Gannji and Enor, but I think Gannji would have to return so we could get to know him better, before I could vote for him over the IFCC. After all, the 'CC's still plot relevant and for some reason one of my favorite lines is- Do we look like socialists?

    But I can make up for the last vote by voting for Enor in the third. The arena scene gets me every time

    Zz'dtri is just the perfect evil opposit to V.

    Elan VS Eyepatched Resistance Leader

    I have a tendency not to vote for those whom I do not remember.

    IFCC VS Gannji

    While the IFCC may have a lot of plot relevance, Gannji was a whole lote more fun in my opinion. Enor and Gannji, actually. Which brings me to...

    Enor VS Samantha's Dad

    What I said above. Sort of. It was a little harder since I'm not as much a fan of the dumb sidekick as the more intelligent leader. I also sympathize somewhat with Samantha's dad. Most men know that women are trouble.

    Haerta Bloodsoak VS Zz'dtri

    Honestly, I despise drow. But what about a drow that was made to make fun of the typical atypical drow that nobody can stand who was brought about by everyone's favorite author (or perhaps not).

    Elan, of course.

    Gannji. Aside from the fact that I liked the bounty hunters, the IFFC is 3 characters, not 1, so I wouldn't vote for them as a group even if they were against someone like the eyepatched resistance leader.

    Enor, though I did like Sam's dad.

    Zz'dtri; like a few others, Haerta is more a plot device than a character.

    The only one that was somewhat hard to decided was the third pairing, as I like them both. Don't care much for either of the fourth pairing.

    Elan. Obviously.

    Ganji, because he's the one holding the thermal detonator.

    Enor, because he fires lightning bolts, and Samantha's dad was defeated by the last tree invasion.

    Haerta Bloodsoak. Both of them hardly said anything, however when she actually did speak a word, it basically changed the face of the world.
    Also, she gave more character development to V in one swoop then Zz'dtri ever did.
