    Could we use written votes instead of a poll again?

    It'll prevent anyone from suspecting cheating, not that I'd expect that to actually happen, and I'm sure the contestants would appreciate the feedback.

    Feedback can be posted in the thread, and I'm pretty sure you can find out who voted for who with the new forum software.

    And I'll be fucked if I'm going to count all that shit again.

    Ah, alright then.

    I was tempted to put Captain Marvel as a choice, but I know that all I'd do would be rip off Kingdom come and have gratuitous crotch shots.

    I keep forgetting who I picked

    If I don't get a partner I'll probably end up waiting until I assign people their heroes and just pick someone that's left over

    That will be the only abuse of power I'll do, and it's not even a good abuse. It's almost like I'm abusing myself, actually, which is the opposite of how I'm supposed to abuse my powers.

    Hey, so, I'd really like to get in on this. I could really go either way on the art or the writing as I'm terribly mediocre at both. I don't even mind being a last pick or anything, I'd just like to try (especially writing).

    Also, I don't have convenient access to a scanner, which really makes me lean toward writing even more.

    I suppose my point is, I'll write for anyone willing to have me.

    The choice is yours and yours alone.

    Does that mean strip our choices down to one? I thought you'd want us to have three prospects so you could pick the one who'd be most appropriate for whatever you have planned.

    No, you pick your top three.

    Number one being the character you most want to draw / write, and so on. If somebody already picked your number one, then you get your second.

    So under most circumstances we get top pick? It won't be Beyonder's favorite from among our three choices?

    From what I've compiled from months of data, yes, you should get your top pick. Unless I've completely read the rules wrong.

    It's up the Beyonder now.

    I kind of like the idea of Beyonder just picking the best from the three. Sure the top one is your favorite, but would he or she be your top if you knew what the game was going to entail?

    JCM, for instance, probably wouldn't pick X-O if he knew that the first challenge was going to be a Spelling Bee. I mean, maybe he would, I don't know. Can cyber-barbarians spell well?

    But yeah, we're making our choices knowing nothing and Beyonder, with his foreknowledge of events, would perhaps be more qualified to choose characters that we'll like (they're in our top 3, so of course we will) and will best suit the circumstances of the game.

    But I guess I'm over-thinking things. I'll just leave it to Beyonder and see what happens.

    This would at least have really funny results. In fact, if they all turned out like this, that would be awesome.

    The armor would spell it for him, but it would take a loooooong time.... if the time limit was 5 minutes for spelling "ROMAN", but then he´d proceed to destroy the stage in a roman-intolerance induced rage.

    I dont mind sticking by X-O, even if its a depilation contest-
    I´d loose ... *ouch*

    But just in case if its allowed a 2nd-3rd choice, JCM´s ocbscure hero team!

    1) X-O manowar
    2) Ash (yeah, Joe Quesada´s Ash)
    3) Hitman (Garth Ennis´ mainstream DC masterpiece)

    They're not going to just call it a new challenge and have it interact with the original challenge, officially making it an expansion pack even though the publisher won't admit it? Gadzooks, that's cleaver of them. :P

    Username: Charmy
    Artist: Charmy (unfortunately)
    1) Animal Man
    2) The Flash (Jay, Barry or Wally, whichever I'm allowed)
    3) The Great Machine

    I'm sure some of those have been picked already, though I didn't see them when I went through the thread.

    I originally had Animal Man but switched him out after Toji told me this was a solo hero thing.

    Other two haven't been picked, as far as I recall.

    Nope. The spikes aren't big enough to kill him unless you seriously dented his costume. At one point he takes off his helmet to reveal his face and there's only a little blood so they probably aren't digging in too deep although if they did his emoness would be even more extreme and lawlzy. I like the whole thing with how each time he punches he has two special spikes to remind him of two children he actually knew the names of.

    If you haven't read a lot of a certain character despite liking him or her, I doubt the rest of the board has read a lot featuring that character themselves. They'll never notice the discrepancies.

    But I figure the best way to go is to pick characters whose tone matches your own, if you're that worried about capturing voices.
