Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon vs. Geoff
Yeah. No contest here.
Horace Greenhilt vs. Niu
I hate Horace possibly as much as the villains in the strip. And that's what makes me vote for him. He's well-written, even if he is a scumbag. Niu's nice, but not too special to me.
Ian Starshine vs. Jenny
None of the above, if I could. But I guess I'll go with Ian.
Kobold Oracle vs. the Monster In The Darkness
I flat-out love the Oracle, but...!

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon, Horace, Ian, MitD
A suspected back-stabber vs the main villain and one of the best evil characters I've read? Not happening...
They're both relatively likeable minor characters, but Niu is rather, well, new so we're yet to get to know her. As such, Horace has the edge.
Jenny wasn't enough to beat out Haley's dad...
Now this last one here is just unfair- pitting one of my favorite characters of all time against the very reason I started reading this comic? Why not have the Oracle face Jenny or Geoff? Oh well... - Oracle? What Oracle?

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
I get the feeling people don't get the difference between Horace Greenhilt (four or five strip wonder, Roy's grandfather) and Eugene Greenhilt (notable supporting character, Roy's father)

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon for his ability to enjoy the little things.
Niu for her reasonable assumption.
Ian Starshine for Haley's paranoia.
Kobold Oracle for being like a reptilian Alex Trebek.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon. What are the heroes, without their antagonist? /philosophical
Niu was such a pleasant surprise.
Ian Starshine--but this was very close, as I quite dislike both characters.
Monster in the Darkness all the way.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon. Because reasons.
Niu. Because of her extreme preparedness to face a skeleton crew.
Jenny. Because sexy musicians.
Oracle. Because he would be played by Mel Brooks in the movie.At least now I can get back to enjoying my glass of elven wine in peace and quiet, without being called on to intervene in someone else's problems.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Xykon. Who the hell is this "Geoff" guy, anyway?
Niu. A smart, female paladin rogue? Rock on, girl!
Ian Starshine, by virtue of not being as lame as the other option.
Monster in the Darkness, all the way. The Oracle seems like kind of a prick to me, while MitD is like Elan for Team Evil. Plus, nobody know what MitD even is! You have no idea how long I've been searching on the forums for plausible speculations about him. Who doesn't love a mystery?Originally Posted by Eliezer Yudkowsky

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Oops! Missed the previous round.
Anyway:
Xykon. The main protagonist against a minor character who didn't even get any really good lines? No contest.
Horace Greenhilt. Niu so far hasn't been a character in my view so much as a plot device.
Ian Starshine. Meh, two characters who aren't very interesting in their own right. Ian at least has some personality and plot signigicance.
MitD. Darn it! The Oracle's one of my favorites, but, well, it's the Monster in the Darkness.

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.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Geoff. Xykon is a powerhouse. I just wanna knock him out to see how this would go without him in the mix.
Niu. Because of her relationship with Thanh. Thanh makes everyone more awsesome.
Ian. Jenny was.....eh.
MiTD. Dude's been getting progressively more interesting as the comic goes on. I'm loving him.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Favourite Character Tournament
Spoiler9: Xykon - 27 - 90.00%
VS
Geoff - 3 - 10.00%
Let's be honest; Geoff was lucky to get those three votes. I was considering using 'this character has had no notable lines or plot relevance, and doesn't merit a quote' as his introductory quote.
Horace Greenhilt - 11 - 36.67%
VS
Niu - 19 - 63.33%
Like taking Apocalypse Candy from a doombaby.
Ian Starshine - 22 - 73.33%
VS
Jenny - 8 - 26.67%
The sad old man leading a failed rebellion defeats the sad bard who fell for Belkar. How low is his CHA anyway?
Kobold Oracle - 9 - 30.00%
VS
Monster in the Darkness - 21 - 70.00%
It's a shame that the Oracle is gone, but it was the right choice. Stupid random number generator.

Gannji: "I don't think they're buying it, old friend. Listen, I have a plan, but... you're not going to like it. You have to kill me."
Enor: "What??"
Gannji: "No, listen. If you kill me, they'll let you live to fight another day. And we both know that you can survive more fights than a rogue like me. I like to flap my gums, but I wouldn't make it two days in this place wihout you to protect me. After you kill me, cut the tip of my tail off. Tell the guards it's part of your victory. They won't question it 'cause you're part ogre. They do stuff like that all the time. Keep it hidden, and if you ever get out of this hellhole, find a cleric and pay to resurrect me."
Enor: "No, Gannji, there has to be another way!"
Gannji: "Well I can't think of one! They're going to kill us both if we don't do something! So just hurry up and get to it."
Gannji: "What the hell is wrong with you, you stupid oaf? You moron! Kill me already!"
Enor: "No!"
Gannji: "DO IT!"
Enor: "NO! I don't wanna. I don't wanna hurt you. I don't wanna be alone. You kill me instead, Gannji. You're smart, and you're never scared. You'll be better off all by yourself."
Gannji: "... Enor... don't you see? It has to be you. It has to be. You have the victory string."
Enor: "Oh... oh no, Gannji, here, you take it!"
Gannji: No, uh... its effects last for 24 hours. I couldn't beat you if I tried. Now come on, let's get this over with, OK? This is the way it has to be, buddy."
Enor: "I'm sorry Gannji. I'll get you fixed real soon. I promise."
Gannji: "It's OK. I know you will."
