Favorite Quote Tournament: Round 1a [CLOSED]

[rs2excelsior]

Voting in this thread is now closed. The next round can be found here.

Nominations are over, so let's get this thing rolling!

In this tournament, quotes which won nominations here and here will compete to determine the all-time* favorite OOTS quote as chosen by you, the fans!

*Well, all-time until someone else decides to redo this tournament a while on down the road.

RULES:

1. In each thread, I will post four matchups. You may vote for ONE quote in EACH matchup. Later threads will have fewer matchups as the tournament nears its conclusion.

2. In case of a tie, I will cast the deciding vote. Otherwise, I will not take a say in the voting.

3. If your quote loses, never fear! This is a double elimination tournament. A quote's first loss will move it to a losers' bracket, where if it beats the other quotes there it may eventually move on up as far as third place.

4. Voting for this round will conclude at 9PM EDT, on Tuesday, September 24th. I will generally give a week for all rounds, unless it becomes clear that no one is voting for the last few days.

The round number is just that. The lowercase letter indicates what part of the round it is. There will be a (W) or (L) to indicate whether the round is for the winners' or losers' bracket. I may drop that distinction later on and run both in one thread.

So, without further ado, here are the matchups:

1. "not nale, not-nale. thog help nale nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail."

vs.

2. "thog elegant in thog's simplicity"


3. Friend Azurites, countrymen, lend me your ears [...] tell your enemies that they may take our lives... But they will never take our freedom!! Unless.... Unless they kill us then animate our dead corpses as zombies to fight for them. Then I suppose they've taken our lives AND our freedom. Fight fight fight fight the.....

vs.

4. "Hey, look, I just regenerated a finger. Guess which one."


5. "Why should I care how many people I have to kill? I can just make MORE in my TUMMY!"

vs.

6. Look, I found all these free swords. They were in my spleen.


7. "Stupid cat. A ranger is supposed to influence an animal's behavior. You're doing it backards!"

vs.

8. "I'll stand between any two murderers I wish, thanks."

You may begin voting now!

[Sylian]

"thog elegant in thog's simplicity" - I'm not a big fan of puns, in general.

"Friend Azurites, countrymen, lend me your ears [...] tell your enemies that they may take our lives... But they will never take our freedom!! Unless.... Unless they kill us then animate our dead corpses as zombies to fight for them. Then I suppose they've taken our lives AND our freedom. Fight fight fight fight the....." - It's more funny.

"Why should I care how many people I have to kill? I can just make MORE in my TUMMY!" - Again, more funny.

"Stupid cat. A ranger is supposed to influence an animal's behavior. You're doing it backards!" - I quite like the Hinjo quote, but this one is much more important for Belkar's character development.

#7 and #8 are both great, it sucks that they were against each other at this stage. I'll make up for it by almost certainly voting for #8 in its loser bracket, though.

It actually does, thanks. Though if someone puts a different number and quote, I'll go with the quote.

(Not saying you did, yours match. Just clarifying.)
