Character Elimination Game!

[KingODuckingham]

If we're going to argue the relative merits of the remaining characters, we will all have written thesis sized papers, once sentence at a time even, before this game is over. *sweats*

Mulan (42) +1
Merida (56) -1
Mushu (64)
Rapunzel (63)

[Taethowen]

@Arnyn I have several cast iron skillets that I use regularly (for cooking, not beating) and Rapunzel's strong if she can truly wield them like she does. Definitely up there with Samwise!

@KingODuckingham I don't see the problem with writing a thesis about a Disney character?

Mulan (40) -2
Merida (56)
Mushu (64)
Rapunzel (64) +1

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Wow, everyone is coming up with great treatises on why their contestant should get the vote. But, I'll stick with the one I've been supporting for the majority of this adventure. No point in changing my picks now.

Mulan (38) -2
Merida (56)

To quote a favorite song of mine from Nargaroth "Anguish never ending/ my eternal grief / anguish never ending / my eternal grief / anguish never ending... you get the point

[KingODuckingham]

Thing is that I don't care enough about any of the remaining characters to write a novel about them. If Shere Khan were still in, why, then it might be worth the time. Alas, poor Yorick Khan. We knew him, a tiger of infinite jest...

Mulan (40) +1
Merida (55) -1
Mushu (66)
Rapunzel (61)

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

So we have gone from writing a thesis to writing a novel about them, have we? Personally, the novel sounds much more fun ... (Or possibly we are all just rambling in order to score points? )

Much love to the Mushu lovers <3

I am much delighted to see that our group of Mushu supporters not only has a group name, but also a button now.

Mulan (40)
Merida (55)
Mushu (70) +1

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

At this point a bit of rambling is necessary, as what is the point of posting in Character Elimination except to get some shiny points?

Mulan (38) -2
Merida (55)
Mushu (71) +1
Rapunzel (57)

[Dungeon Delver]

We're on an endless merry go round, circling the edge of an event horizon that will eventually devour and destroy us but apparently all I can think about is finding a way to stretch this and turn it into a couple of points

Mulan (37) -1
Merida (55)
Mushu (72) +1
Rapunzel (57)

[Taethowen]

I don't understand what y'all have against the Queen of Quarantine. She can teach us so much. Especially about fighting with cast iron skillets. And painting. I really need help with the painting skills.

Mulan (36) -1
Merida (55)
Mushu (72)

[Boromir88]

I quite like the campaign button. Nice design. For that, a reward that I only feel like taking 1 candy this round.

Rapunzel (61) +2

[Lail]

Oh no my beloved Rapunzel is falling behind since I have not been attending to this thread! The most interesting question of all now is: which is longer - this thread or Rapunzel's hair? Thoughts?

Mulan (36)
Merida (55)
Mushu (70) -1
Rapunzel (63) +2

[Balfur]

Is this game still going? Balfur thinks as he reenters the hall for the fortieth time. Sweets are sweets are sweets are also called candy, but some games just outlast their welcome. And a DRAGON in Khazad-dum?! Unheard of and unsanitary!

Rapunzel (63)

[Merewyn]

You are all clearly maniacs. I love Rapunzel as much as the next person (Tangled is one of my favorite movies) but Mulan is the far superior person. How DARE you keep knocking her down! And really, Rapunzel over Merida??? I just cannot even with ya'll.

[Winddancer]

@Ta'leus Shieldsong Oi! Only add 1 and take 1! I see what you are doing! :P

[Merewyn]

@Winddancer Ah, well I have certainly had some confusion then. I thought it was that we had 2 points, and could allocate them accordingly as we wished. Haha. I also just realized I'm vaguely confused because I've seen some posts with 3 points too? Clearly I'm playing wrong. I'm not sure how, but somehow I feel like this is @Dwarrow Elf's fault.

There we go, fixed it.

[Eldy Dunami]

@Ta'leus Shieldsong, people who have eliminated a character get an extra point to either add or subtract (see here). There have also been a couple special days where everyone gets additional points.

[Arnyn]

There is one truth here; Mulan definitely deserves more than fourth place!

[Lirimaer]

I feel like this ought to be a battle about best characters, but have a feeling it's about hair.

Mulan (39)
Merida (56) +1
Mushu (68)

[Winddancer]

Not it's a battle between princesses and a DRAGON! And obviously the dragon should win!

[Lail]

Whoops per Windy's post, I did it wrong then, too...
Rapunzel should have 61 from here down if we subtract my accidental post where I gave her +2 above. Sorry!

[Zôrzimril]

Muahahaha one less for the lady with the braid. Join SPTDW! We have buttons!

Mulan (40)
Merida (54)
Mushu (70) +1
Rapunzel (60) -1 (extra -1 to account for Lail's post above)

[Androthelm]

@Eldy Dunami Thanks for catching my slip over the weekend!

Down with the Dragon! Down with the Dragon!

Wow there's logos and hair conspiracy theories now? You leave a thread for one day, I swear...

Ooh, buttons! Yes, I'll show my support for the tiny dragon!



Honestly Ducky, what else did you expect?

[Dungeon Delver]

I'm most complete, yet so undone. What hath the gods wrought upon us, that we should bicker and play for draconic scraps? We are but fools in a parade of chaos.

[Taethowen]

TODAY. IN HONOR OF SHIELDMAIDENS AND WOMEN WARRIORS EVERYWHERE (upon my advancement to Second Marshal of the Mark), I will slightly alter my voting. I love you with all my heart, Queen of Quarantine, but today I must honor a warrior as well.

Mulan (41) -1

Ok yes I know that my points transfer is a bit moronic by my previous statement, shush.

Elimination powers now sit at + and - 5.

[Yávië]

The sudden rush of power was intoxicating, or perhaps that was just all the sugar. Was there someplace she could get a cup of coffee around here?

Edit: wanted to re-size that image.

[KingODuckingham]

I really am not convinced that upping the plus and minus counts does anything, seeing as how the game is zero sum. Maybe if a character had already been close to elimination? Or if it was -5 but still only +1?

Mulan (51) +5
Merida (52) -5
Mushu (67)
Rapunzel (55)

[Zôrzimril]

Yeah agree, Ducky. But REGARDLESS, you all know the drill - vote for Mushu! The tiniest dragon who doubles as a lighter in dire circumstances!

WTH @Boromir88!! I thought you finally realised to take out the hairy one! Sheesh no honour these days..

Edited because simul.

[Balfur]

A dragon? Winning some game in Khazad-freaking-dum? Balfur could hardly believe it. First a Balfrog and now a Dwarfgon was poised to take control in the Dwarrowdelf? It would be utterly absurd! Quickly he shifted five sweets away from the dragon (however tiny, it was still a dragon) and placed them in the bowl in front of the red-head, curly manling others were calling a princess. He had no idea what that actually meant.

Mulan (51)
Merida (62) +5
Mush (67) -5
Rapunzel (45)

There, much better!

[Taethowen]

Taethowen personally had nothing against the dragon. It's just that she was a patron of Rapunzel, the Queen of Quarantine, and needed her aid most dearly in the dark days of The Pandemic Which Shall Not Be Named.

Although, admittedly, she didn't understand what the big deal was about the tiny dragon.
