SuperPheemy Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Tough One! Both stories were a fun read. Though, in the end Mechanon's intelligence should be a match for the Iron Duke's Strength. Though I loved the charictarization of Mechanon in the Duke Story. He arrives in a strange place, and immediately develops plans to build a factory to forge a robot army. That's the Mechanon I know and love.

Blue Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 If this were a contest of looks, Iron Duke would win. But I gotta go with the undisputed king of bio-eradication and mechanical slavery, Mechanon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 I greatly enjoyed both stories, but haven't really made up my mind about a winner yet. But I do want to offer particular kudos to Darren Watts for his writing in this match. His depiction of Mechanon displayed that monster's capabilities and attitudes in marvelous detail, but as a natural outgrowth of story-based events rather than forced exposition. As SuperPheemy mentioned, Jesse Scoble's tale was also consistent with Mechanon's characterization, but Darren's was more textured. Nice work, Mr. Watts.

Blue Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Good thing I don't write these. There would be ten pages of talk and exposition before they got to the fight. People would stop reading halfway through, scratching their heads and saying, "What is this? My dinner with Mechanon?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monolith Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 This is the last few days to get your votes in before the new showdown begins, so get over to the site and vote for your favorite story before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balok Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Mechanon, all the way. (I split my votes about 50/50 in the Hero vs. Hero phase of the contest, and I voted for Alice in the first Villain vs. Villain contest. Lest anyone accuse me of partisanship. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
