Tournament of Randomness - Nominations
« on: July 17, 2010, 06:46:02 PM »
Alright, I am going to be running a tournament of random events.  You can name any RPG, or even quasi RPG character you like, and they will be pitted against each other in completely different tasks until only one survives.

There will be no tier differences, and the only thing I'm really going to be limiting will be how many people get in from one game.  Sadly, due to helping make the event list, the Elf, Ciato, and Mage cannot nominate people aside from the one I said I'd let in.  Everyone else is fair game.  Will start shortly after getting enough characters.

I will be aiming for 64 characters.

List of Sacrificial Lambs.
* is personal code for borderline entry, likely going to be first to get dropped if list is long enough.
0 slots empty.

1. Ragnar Blitz Lebrett
2. Luigi Mario
3. Roy (FE6)
4. Terran Marine
5. Atton Rand (KoToR2)

Sounds like a chance for Luigi Mario (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) to shine.
And sure, let's throw in White Knight Leo (Lunar2), too.

I can't nom anything, but I will say that the contest will be a lot more fun for everyone if the nom list is less generally obscure by DL standards.

Maybe.

Alright, nomming clarification

Since there's 64 slots to fill, I'll cut people off at 10 noms each.

If there's too many, then I'll pare down on lists so that it's equal.  If you want, do them in order of preference and I'll drop lower folks first.

As well, zany is encouraged, obscura is not.  Anyone deemed too obscure will not get in.  Though, the amusement clause overrides everything.

Elf's got a point about the obscura.  So let's start off with a classic head-grabber...  and another who makes the audience grab their heads, more.

Cloud Strife (FF7)
Rinoa Heartily (FF8)
Princess Gwaelin (DW1) (Damsel in distress, "But thou must")
Viki (Suikoden series)
Rafa & Malak (FFT) (As a single entrant, compete as a pair.  Feel free to reject, but I think that this feared assassin team-up won't overwhelm everyone.)
Jade Curtiss (TotA)

Queen Brahne (FF 9)
Lucretia (S5)
Lezard (VP)
Millenia (G2)
Maria (SO 3)
Flay (MK)

There had already been a Flay nom, so I don't know why Ciato said what she said. >_>;
<%King_Meepdorah> roll 1d999 for "It was beauty...that killed the mage"?
* +Hatbot --> "King_Meepdorah rolls 1d999 for "It was beauty...that killed the mage"? and gets 999."12 [1d999=999]
<%King_Meepdorah> ...

Because that nom was made via a post edit, and therefore easily missed.

Fortunately, I read the topic a lot while prepping my core file.

And that brings us to 64 entrants!  Nominations are closed while I start prepping things to go.

I guess I was a bit vague, but the Ard nom was intended to have him paired with Liz since the two somehow make things harder then they need to be even when together.  If it's okay to do that still but you need someone in Ards place I can suggest Zed >.>.
