SUPERDRAFT VOTE! on "I want to be a ....?" Fantasy Draft!

[Hermit]

After a long hiatus, Superdraft has risen like a phoenix from the ashes.. or maybe more like a roach from a refrigerator's edge? Anyway, it's come out after a long stay to proudly declare with one voice

 

"Hi. I was bored"

 

And this call was answered! They came! For Glory! For Honor! To fashion worlds wonderful! Or perhaps laugh manically at the abomination they had deliberately wrought! Reasons varied!

 

Now, you, good folks are asked to vote on these 11.... *Crash* TEN TEN fine selections. Please pick the top three for you, no more than three please. We shall see how it goes! Who will win, who will get that ego saving #3 spot, and who will shake their fist at the public that does not appreciate their  genius! 

 

However it goes down, I want to thank each and everyone of you to take time to partake. If anyone slacked at all, it was I, your humble host. And while I was not as verbose about your efforts as I should have been, know I was most impressed!

... Did we mention that there'll also be a Galadriel-vs-Eowyn mud wrasslin' sequence in The Travesty of the Ring?

 

Voted.

Voted.

 

NOW you tell me!

   I voted for someone other than myself, so if I lose by one vote I’m gonna be pissed.

But you'll have that warm glow of knowing you helped out a fellow human being with an act of kindness and appreciation for their own efforts, and isn't that the REAL winning?

    Not even friggin’ close.  In the words of a great philosopher...”If I don’t get my stapler back, I’m gonna burn this whole place down.”

[Cancer]

I never vote for myself on these.  Look at this way: If you only got one vote and it's your own, you've screwed yourself out of complaining rights.

That's certainly keeping with the spirit of the game, though. Welcome to that Superdraft experience.  

I'm still trying to think of another finale other than the vote, but those dialogues I used to do are a ton of work. Still thinking on it. 

[Pattern Ghost]

It's Library Patrol.

CES

[Cancer]

I'll happily vote more, if that can be arranged!

[Hermit]

Well, we now have ten votes, so thanks folks! Perhaps more will vote but at least we have participation in both sides of the process evening!

[Pariah]

Tied for last. Woo-hoo!

[Cancer]

Obviously I need more mud wrasslin'.

[Pariah]

If I promised to have Elsa freeze Wesley Crusher and/or Jacob Black solid, would more of you vote for me...?

No. 

[Tjack]

    I’ll see that and raise you a Veronica Mars/Maria Hill rematch complete with hair pulling, clothing tearing and a final clinch that leads to deep gazes into one another’s eyes and realizations about their true feelings. 
    Depending on HOW MUCH I win by the chapter after that will be on a different website and for adults only.

    I might even take votes on who ends up being in charge.  (If you know what I mean)

[Lawnmower Boy]

I is voted in spite of distressing lack of bribes.

[Hermit]

Thirteen NICE!

 

I will close up voting Monday!
