Tournament of Random Events - Signup
« on: January 22, 2012, 10:46:01 AM »
Right...  I said it'd be a little while until I continued. Turns out my files for the last ToR got nuked.  However, it's time to get this topic rolling once again, with a bit more variety in the challenges.

Because I hate myself, I'll be going with another full roster of one hundred and twenty eight fictional characters.  I am willing to accept list of twelve (12!) nominations from each person, though you can go for less if you like. With preference going to folks higher on your list, and tending to avoid obscura.

In about a week, if there's enough vict... I mean nominations, then the tourney will begin with its shiny new format.

Next thing you'll be telling me William Shatner is real. And we all know he's just a cover for time travelling Kirk.

Have you considered finishing up the old ToR?  So what if you lost the files - just make up new stuff for 'em to compete at.

I considered it. Felt better to try and get momentum rolling with a new one, instead of trying to continue with the previous one with all the stuff gone.  That said, if there's interest, I could try and finish it after this one is done.

Seems like a lot of obscura nominated so far, so will go for pretty accessible characters that shouldn't require intense knowledge to vote on even without the requisite source material.  Well, with one exception.

1. Link (Zelda series)
2. Odysseus (Greek myth)
3. Dracula (Literature / Castlevania)
4. Larry Butz (Phoenix Wright)
5. Maxwell Smart (Get Smart)
6. Lucca (Chrono Trigger)
7. A guard (Metal Gear Solid series) (!)
8. Mordin Solus (Mass Effect 2)
9. Shinji Ikari (Evangelion)
10. Xorn (Grandia III)
