cheers to TavernTales for hosting the competition, and cheers to all who participated !!! thank you all, i love you all !!!

but the "Final Fight" shows the real winner, it was clear from the start.

i commented at post #8 , Malicia, hands down. (ok, i admit it, i did not vote)

but it does not matter, the real winner, as was clear from before even starting....is.....BOOBS.

yeah come on, look at every single fight, the winner was the one who is supposed\probably\ididntthinkaboutitbutreallythinkaboutitnowwithsomeimagination the best in breasting boobily.

it's not a sexual thing, it's just that we are mammals, and as mammals, we recognize mammillae as the best thing ever, no matter your age or your gender. everyone universally love boobs. it one of those really few things that universally make us humans, and we universally agree upon, in any epoch.. they are nice and good and this was true thousands years ago, it is true today, and it will be true thousands of years in the future. without the mammillae, none of us would be alive today, and we know it deep inside, as a bird knows how to build a nest and a spider is able to weave a web.

😝 lol

lolth is in the final by right however malicia's presence [instead of vecna] raises questions about the motivations of the voters.

Furthermore whilst I'm unsure what vecna does beyond juggling dinos, lolth tears worlds apart for fun so...why isn't she No.1?

Because the story makes the villain, and Lloth's story is bad. Also she got destroyed defeated by some peasant girl without any training. And ran away to cry about it.

instead of vecna
Vecna ? And what did he do to be in that list in the 1st place ?
He appeared twice during the entire game, said "I am Vecna" and after that everyone forgot about him and went to play with dinosaurs ? 🙄
He might be a great PnP villain with a rich story etc. but can we see all of that in DDO ? Nope !

Someone like Strahd suffers from the same thing.
For example, we can see and feel Raiyum's doing over the whole Menechtarun. Can we say something like that about Ravenloft ? No. Barovia is on its own, Strahd is on his own hanging around somewhere.

Same goes for almost every "villain" in DDO. 😓

Malicia is quite the charismatic villain at least. The final battle should have taken place between Malicia and Yaulthoon IMHO. But, we've got Malicia VS Lolth. I bet some people voted just because some NPC were put into Raids.

The seeding is also weird. It seems designed to indicate relative power levels, but it doesn't even do that well. (Abbot seeded higher than Lady Vol, Xxyzzy seeded lower than Vaunt)

All - this was an informal, fun tournament - as I posted earlier, it was not some well-thought-out, computer-scored, power-balanced, scientific event. It was me and chat yucking it up on stream, and it grew into...this. Don't read too much into it... because I didn't put too much into it.

As for voting, we had no rules - pick your favorite, the toughest, the one with the best quest, etc. Again, all for fun.

A Lolth - Malicia final was both completely predictable and a bit heart-warming to see. At our core, older gamers will never let go of their Lara Croft introduction into gaming. Hot girls in cool outfits for the win. Congrats, Malicia.

Well, since Lady Vol is out, so am I. Have fun.
Lady Vol is woefully underappreciated in DDO. Erandis is my favorite raid boss dialogue in the game.

This was fun.
I didn't go out and vote, but I do like the extra hype.

I was cheering (from the sidelines) for Yaulthoon, but Malicia would have easily been my close second.
The whole mystery surrounding her is still pretty enticing. I like how good an example she is of why the Succubi switched sides from Demons to Devils when push came to shove. Domination is much more their alley then leaving poor sods drained and dead.
