I'm in a real doubt between 202 and 221... Belkar x Miko or Belkar x V?

Hmmm...


Ok, I won't regret it. It's 202. "Ethnocentric b*tch" is just too much.

Bah. None of these are particularly great and as usual the lowbrow humour is winning the votes. I'll go with 221 because it's mildly funny and therefore the best of the five.

But 223 is obviously the best of the quarter.

Elan genre logic insisting that Miko has to have taken a Samurai level SOMEWHERE for her title. Good stuff.

Ooh, so many quotes!

Actually it's not the "ethnocentric bitch" remark that does it for me, but the sheer non sequitur fact that Belkar just happens to have been carrying a lead sheet for the entire adventure.

202 it is.

I“d say 209. It makes an important point about classes - and is, as an added bonus, also funny.

I'd go with 220 or 221, but 202 is just too much of a classic. 202 for me please.

I gotta go with 221. The Vaarsuvious vs. Belkar battle is one of my favorite sub-plots.

Huh, close one between 202 and 221, which are my two choices as well.

Hmmm...

"Stop oppressing my culture you ethnocentric b****!"
vs.
"I believe you mean that I shouldn't blow Miko up. I am fairly certain that if I put my mind to the task, I can do exactly that."

I'll vote for 202
, the lead sheet set up for future jokes is too great. Heehee, restraining order.
