Favourite Character Tournament II: All Hail Wizard Guy!

[oppyu]

As of #903, current voting round is here

Aaaaaand we're at thread #2! I know the other one was only at 49 pages, but I figured that it would be best to get it out of the way now in case the thread gets locked at 50+ pages in the middle of a voting round.

Yay for new thread!
Haley
Girard

[137beth]

Haley and Ganji.

[sam79]

New thread, cool! And a tasty set of matches to start it, in my opinion. So let's see...

Haley vs. Lien.

I really like both of these characters. I definatly want to see more Lien in the comic. I love her bonus scenes during Elan's Underwater Adventure, and she has a shark, which is even cooler than Hinjo's dog. But Haley takes this one comfortably; she's one of my favorite characters in the whole strip.

Gannji vs. Girard Draketooth

A tougher choice here. The bounty hunters were pretty cool minor characters, and their scenes in the arena were very touching. I really like all the Order of the Scribble, and want to see more of them (prequel book anyone?). Tie-breaker on the look of the characters gives this match to the duel-wielding tattooed Illusionist.

[Mike Havran]

Lien. I liked Lien and it's not like Haley would need my vote to win. Lien did a great job of being a reasonable voice during the exile on the ocean.

Girard.A vote of anticipation for what will his dreamworld corridor do to Nale once he gets insinde

Also, may I suggest putting some official link to the first incarnation of the tournament to the first post? Even though it can be tracked down from the spoilered stuff.

[Alaris]

Haley Starshine is one of my favorite characters, so she definitely wins here.

Girard Draketooth is chosen, mostly because I didn't like Gannji.

[AngryHobbit]

1. - although I love Lien.
2. - he is my favorite OOTScr character.

[Szarrukin]

Daaaamn... Lien is the best, but, like always, member of OOTS will win. :/


My votes going to Lien (duh!) and Ganji (for me,Girard was a paranoic fool. And calling paladins "fascist" is not a way to gain my vote. :P )

I edited one in three minutes before you submitted that post. Ninja'd

[kxm]

I like Lien, but obviously Haley


Gaanji and Girard are both really interesting characters, but I guess I find Girard more interesting, even if he is a jerk.

Haley Starshine and Girard Draketooth.

[Torrasque]

Haley and Girard

[VanaGalen]

Haley is one of my favorite characters in the comic, but Lien is very sweet too. It seems Haley is very popular so she'll get over 90% votes anyway.

For the LC, easy: Girard

[Rui]

Haley Starshine - Love Lien, but no contest.

Girard Draketooth - I hate Gannji and his friend. They are not interesting and not funny at all. Girard at least gave us a big kaboom.

[MeanMrsMustard]

Lien has a good quote, but Haley Starshine 5ever.
Eh, Gannji was kind of funny, and Girard Draketooth was annoying, but Draketooth's still cooler than the bounty hunter.

[Sylian]

Haley - I like Lien, but she's no Haley.
Gannji - For some odd reason, I like Gannji. I don't like his opponent that much, so my choice is easy.

[rgrekejin]

Haley
Girard

[Bling Cat]

Urgh. These ones were actually kind of tough. It's fairly clear whose going to win both match-ups, but I had to think about both.

Lien is fun and sensible and has hints scattered all over the place that she has a history and character beyond the story being told. Haley, however doesn't have those hints, because we actually have her story, being told to us right now. I guess Lien takes it because I like that she showcases Rich's ability to paint in the background of minor characters without taking time away from the main cast.

Gannji and Girard. Gannji is cool, I guess? Sort of. He had some moments, but it's eminently clear why he's in the loser's cup. Girard has so few lines it's hard to get a real handle on him beyond 'I am chaotic, grr grr'. I guess Girard takes it because we are getting quite a bit of his character told through the environment, which has been quite effective so far.

[dps]

Haley. Nothing against Lien, but I frankly don't get the reason so many people seem to like her so much (though the shark as a holy Paladin mount is really cool).

[M.A.D]

Lien and Gannji

[Rakoa]

Lien and Girard.

And thank you, Oppyu, for honouring Wizard Guy! May he win this tournament yet.
