Title: April Fools Nominations
Post by: Chris on April 29, 2014, 05:07:58 PM
It's still technically April, right? Josiah running March Madness led to some of the best discussion the forum has seen in months, and I think that running April Fools (evil characters) is the next logical step, especially since I think it's a much more crowded field this year.

Nominate any evil characters you think are the best in their particular brigade. I'm thinking eight characters per brigade, with multi as its own, meaning 64 characters total. If there simply aren't enough worth talking about, we can cut it down to 4 characters per brigade.

I agree this should be done, and could be fun.  I say we can get 8 of everything, including multi, for a total of 64.

Should we just have everyone list their favorites in each group, in order, and then put together the 8 based on those responses (like was done with March Madness)?  Is there a better option?

I will create the bracket and maintain the results again, that's not an issue.  If more is needed let me know.

I considered doing this myself but don't have the time to run the whole thing. Perhaps 4 of each of the 8 potential brigades would be enough though. This would shrink it to a 32 person tournament and save time.

Just a thought I'll try and give a list sometime soon.

While listing should I include duplicates in seperate brigades? Like KoT in orange and gold?

Westy did you mean not to include Emperor Tiberus?

I knew that Mocking Soldiers wasn't the one I wanted from the J deck, but it also wasn't Quirinius. Oops.

What you did there. I see it.

I think I would personally put the Rabshakeh over the Rabsaris, because CBN 2kH = win.

I agree with most of Westy's list but I'm taking Lot's Wife over Garrison.

Just a couple changes from Westy's list

Merodach-Baldan definitely should be in crimson. His play first and large numbers is a great combination. He can help deal with FBTN angels and hero's.  http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/King_Merodach-baladan_(Pi) (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/King_Merodach-baladan_(Pi))

I made a couple votes between Josiah and Westy's proposals. Unless there are any serious changes that should be made, I'll start it up tomorrow.

So Que is cute but really doesn't belong. I never saw the movies and don't really care about him. It's a wasted slot and if he beats anyone it's rather dumb IMHO.

He's probably trying to throw everybody off because he plans to unveil a nasty hand-discard deck using Que.  8)
