Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: NO MERCY! #5 BELKAR v #1 VAARSUVIUS

[alwaysbebatman]

That's an excellent idea. How does midnight UMT sound to everybody? So, Brits at least have until the last minute of the 19th to cast their vote.

This coincides with International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which is nice.

[B]EDIT: Somebody get Banjo and some other sock puppets to swing this thing decisively for V.

I'm Martianmister's sister Mercurianmister, and I vote for VAARSUVIUS!

[Rack]

Ooh, tough one, but I must vote for the Belkster.

Belkar

Don't forget your other sibling, Martiansister!

32/29 Belkar

[StLordeth]

My vote goes to V. One of the most well developed and powerful characters in the entire story vs the comic relief.

[Chobarth]

BELKAR

Despite V being a world class dragon-slayer, s/he just isn't 'Death's Li'l Helper'...

Saint Vaarsuvius, Slayer of the Ebon Quartile! March 20th, 2009 was the date of the Saint Vaarsuvius Day Massacre… light some candles for the innocent departed that V indiscriminately slaughtered, and then pop a cork and salute to the most accomplished dragon-slayer known.

[Sylian]

I was considering doing a write-up for my vote, but I'm not quite sure what's left to say that hasn't been said before? Vaarsuvius is easily one of the most well-developed characters in the comic, and one of the most intriguing as well.

[alwaysbebatman]

33/31, Belkar

[Elkad]

I like Belkar. He's had great moments.

But Vaarsuvius is the font of laughs that just keeps giving.

Vaarsuvius

[pearl jam]

Yeah. I laughed harder at the punchline today than I have in a while.

[BirdHarvester]

I might be too late... but Vaarsuvius. I just find them to be a really interesting character, and I've been enjoying their development.

[alwaysbebatman]

There are still many hours left (about 20)

And that makes it 33 All, people!

[Ortho]

I'm joining this forum just so I can vote Vaarsuvius

[RatElemental]

I honestly wouldn't be sad to see V win, but I'm still pulling for Belkar just to see that hype man from the first page come up with more nicknames for him when he goes up against Redcloak.

[newcresty]

Belkar. and some random words so i can submit my reply

[KorvinStarmast]

Now that it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day, make sure to correctly pronounce Vaarsuvius with piratical inflection.

Vaarrrrsuvius, more or less.

On an unrelated note, it is also the feast day of Saint Januarius. (San Gennaro). Some decades ago, I was in Naples and visited the Cathedral. Lovely building.

Isn't that the guy with two faces?

[Dr.Zero]

Isn't that the guy with two faces?

I don't think so.
You're probably thinking of Janus (an ancient Roman God).
San Gennaro (Saint Januarius) is a catholic saint.
He is friendly nicknamed "yellow face" by some of his followers, because his statue has, well, a yellow face.
But, as far as I know, that's it, about the face.

(Then there is all the stuff about his supposed blood, ketp in an ancient reliquary, that sometimes returns to his liquid state. But there are scientific theories about it, like that it is an ancient alchemic -in the meaning of the precursor of chemistry, so no magic involved- compound based on iron).

[martianmister]

Don't forget your other sibling, Martiansister!

Actually he's voting for Belkar.

[littlebum2002]

Ahh, that's the one! I mean, to be fair, they have very similar names...

[GimpNugs]

I barely ever post, but I feel I have to get on just to vote Belkar .

[martianmister]

Looks like Belkar is going to win this...

[dmc91356]

While I voted Belkar in the last one, I think, overall, I appreciate Vaarsuvius as a character more than the Belkster, so I vote V.

[alwaysbebatman]

Looks like Belkar is going to win this...

It's been far too close to call. 35-All at the moment. We'll see if one side or the other gets a big push in these last few hours.

I'm speaking like a pirate. An internet pirate still counts.
