Just a side note -- for future rounds, any interest in linking the names to a strip in which they appear? For the smaller characters (e.g. wizard guy), it might give them more of a fighting chance with those who need to be reminded who they are...

I will almost certainly end up doing that, starting with the next post.

All the names on the list are from the Character Appearances Thread, but only the seeds were arbitrarily determined by number of appearances. There were some omissions from the top 96 (Windstriker, Solt's Donkey, the Order's various mounts from post-Dorukan's Gate for example; sorry to anyone who was looking forward to voting for them), and other inclusions who weren't in the top 96 (Wizard Guy, Gortok the Destroyer, various others who haven't been revealed yet).

Is the voting update really necessary? It seems to me that it kind of ruins the tension; and it's not like anyone will vote more than once, or be swayed if s/he didn't bother to vote before.

Celia for showing Roy the advantages(and disadvantages) of dating outside his creature type.
Sara Greenhilt for not letting being dead keep her from living it up.
Bozzok for his grasp of underworld politics.
Sabine for keeping her cool even with a broken neck.

Switch my vote for Jephton to Sabine. I was getting Jephton confused with Old Pete's cleric friend who healed Belkar.

Abstaining on Sara vs. the Wizard Guy at present; I liked the former, but the latter was a true one-scene wonder in my book. So I can't decide.

Celia VS Yikyik

Yikyik. He's got more personality.


Wizard Guy VS Sara Greenhilt

Wizard Guy. I've no idea who he is, but he's got to be better than Sara.


Bozzok VS Mr. Jones

Bozzok. Anyone seriously think a lawyer will win a popularity contest?


Jephton the Unholy VS Sabine

Sabine. Tough one. Neither one is my favorite character, so I just went with the one that appears more.

Demon-roaches - Easiest choice ever. I love the roaches and the Team Peregrine Commander is easily my most hated character. It sure was great to see him implode.

Durkon. Hank, a close second.

Chief Grukgruk. Chang will never be able to compete against Grukgruk.

Pompey.

Demon roaches. I think the D-Roaches will automatically win, because it's opponent isn't very known, and isn't as nearly as funny as the Demon roaches.

Durkon (though I'd also vote for Hank against a different opponent.)
grukgruk
Pompey (not that I really like either choices here)
Demon Roaches because they're awesome, though I'll admit I did like that particular elf quite a bit.

Durkon Thundershield VS Hank -> Durkon (I would choose Hank against anyone else in the rest of the competition. But against Durkon? Sorry pal)

General Chang VS Chief Grukgruk -> Chang (best between two low rider, in my book)

Pompey VS Grand Larcenist -> Larcenist (I've found Pompey pretty insignificant)

Team Peregrine Commander VS Demon-Roaches -> Demon-Roaches (Let's go mini comic sidekick!)

For the record, Hank is awesome. (But Durkon is Durkon)

chief grukgruk half-orc too. other half, also orc

chief grukgruk? One of my all-time favorite OotS quotes, ftw

Pompey... eh, not so much, but i don't like larcenist much either.

And, the last choice really is no contest.

Hank. I won't let him get 0 votes, he's too cool for that. Sorry Durkon.

Chief Grukgruk. Good matchup, but Chief rules.

Grand Larcenist. Too bad he didn't get more comics-time.
