Re: The Grand Apple - Dragon Fogel - 12-06-2011
So do I just make a decision, or do we have some discussion first? Or are we basically just winging it?
Re: The Grand Apple - Schazer - 12-06-2011
Your call, and the players' also. You could open the floor to ask why such-and-such might've been posited.
Re: The Grand Apple - Schazer - 12-06-2011
Due to clerical error, the revised Round One cards are as follows:
The Sunset
Ekelhaft
Coy Spender
Annaliese Nibbs
Eximo Pulvis
Re: The Grand Apple - Dragon Fogel - 12-06-2011
All right, people. Present arguments or something.
Or if nobody does, I'll just make a choice in three days or so, I guess?
Re: The Grand Apple - Woffles - 12-06-2011
I dunno, underdog usually implies something like an unintentional oversight of a really hella awesome character, so I'd say that Eximo, because that was his schtick and because he won the first battle, has gotten the attention a vacuum can handle, and Annaliese isn't really an underdog and more just not very good at what she does.
If I were judging I'd pick either Sunset or Spender, probably Spender because I was in EC and hnnng Sayu was so good.
Re: The Grand Apple - Pick Yer Poison - 12-07-2011
Either Eximo or Ekelhaft. Ekelhaft for the reasons woff said. Ekelhaft because, well, the poor guy has no friends. You're the biggest underdog when you don't have any help!

Totally meant Eximo for that first one
Re: The Grand Apple - Ixcaliber - 12-07-2011
You can't really claim in a single statement that Annaliese isn't very good at what she does and that she isn't an underdog. Yes these battles are about writing more than overall strength or ability, but an underdog is judged pretty much solely on strength or ability. Hence Eximo and Annaliese both excellently written are still underdogs. I would pretty much say that was the only way to judge this but if you wanted to talk metawise then Spender is the biggest underdog, I mean there's next to no chance he's gonna win EC now.
Re: The Grand Apple - chimericgenderbeast - 12-08-2011
Well being an underdog isn't no chance as much as it is some chance, however unlikely. So Spender wouldn't be an underdog because he's dead I think?
But yeah I'd put it as a toss-up between Annaliese and Eximo. Ekelhaft doesn't have any friends but he also killed a ton of life or whatever.
Re: The Grand Apple - Godbot - 12-08-2011
I'm fine with whatever.
Re: The Grand Apple - Woffles - 12-08-2011
Ohhh are we going with in-battle underdog then?
I was thinking like "these characters sort of get forgotten in the crowd and they totally need more love" kind of underdog.
Out-battle, Sunset
In-battle, Eximo I guess.
Re: The Grand Apple - Dragon Fogel - 12-10-2011
Okay, it's been a few days, people have had a chance to weigh in, so I guess it's judging time.
I'm going to declare Eximo Pulvis as the winning card for this round!
This is a 100 percent unbiased assessment.
Re: The Grand Apple - Schazer - 12-11-2011
Ok, the players of the cards were:
Ixcalibur: Coy Spender
Sanzh: Eximo Pulvis
Godbot: Ekelhaft
Wojjan: Sunset
Drakenforge: Annaliese Nibbs
I'm now sending out cards (including cards for the new players). Round 2's adjective (judged by Ixcalibur) will be "Douchetacular."
