First Annual Election of Badass

[Zaleramancer]

Granny Weatherwax.

Tiffany Aching (At nine, she invaded fairyland with a bunch of belligerent scottish smurfs and a frying pan.)

Lord Havelock Vetinari (Semi-Benevolent Tyrant. He knows your shoe size and what you had for breakfast this morning.)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yes.

[Zaleramancer]

Oh and, Sergeant Jackrum.

[Mik_Hael]

If that is true, then we shall begin the election process in chronological order.  The first vote shall be of my entrees.

[Zaleramancer]

The Father from Nerf This.

Dude wears bears.

[Mik_Hael]

Indeed...one of which had a knife I might add....and all with his bare hands no less....

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Mik_Hael]

Votes counted up, winner, Father badass.

Next vote is shadows group.

[Zaleramancer]

Beowulf basically breaks a abomination against nature's (Grendal's son) arms, then goes on to swim to the bottom of a lake to kill Grendal herself, using a giant sword.

Then he charges a dragon in his old age.

Though, I'll have to go with Heracles. He strangled a super-lion, killed hydras and became a god.

Impressive.

[Mik_Hael]

I'd have to go with Beowulf, Heracles may have done all of these things, but he was half god. Beowulf, was mortal, without divine super strength.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Beowulf, however, did not have to survive a divine attempt on his birth (Hera sent Eileithyia to delay Heracles' birth, so he would die in the womb). Nor did Beowulf get sent into a fit of insane rage by a goddess (Lyssa, who, again, was an emissary of Hera), causing him to kill his wife and children. Nor did he have to take on monsters that were sent directly from the gods. Nor did he descend to the depths of the underworld BEFORE death, ascend to the rank of divinity AFTER his death, win over the affections of the same goddess who hated him before he was even BORN, and make a wife of that same goddess's daughter, giving birth to two divine sons in the process.

[Mik_Hael]

No defending your characters and no voting for your own group.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

He can defend it if he want's to, and he should be allowed to vote in his own group. BTW I vote Hercules (Heracles)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Thank you...

[Mik_Hael]

It is against the rules. You can't vote for your own characters until the one vs. one elections go through...unless there is a tie breaker of coruse but not before then.

Voting closes at the end of the day, or until everyone finishes voting. Current vote.

Hercules 2

Gilgamesh 1

Hercules leads.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Shad's vote should count, there is no reason it shouldn't

[Mik_Hael]

You can't vote for your own group because of biased opinions.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Its not biased at all.  He can have a favorite out of them just like anyone else.

[Mik_Hael]

sigh, it's just a rule, I didn't vote for one of mine.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well, that's your loss. Its an unwarranted rule.
