None Shall Pass 3 [Game Thread]

[spaceman98]

Its mostly because there are few evil and a lot more good characters.

Like you can't make a lot of unique evil characters for LOTR or SW.

LOTR:
Morgoth - iffy
Sauron
Saruman
Witch King
Khamul - iffy
Gothmog - Iffy
Unnamed nazgul - meh

SW:
Vader
Palpatine
Maul
Dooku
Boba Fett?
Jabba?


A lot of neutral type characters for SW.

I can think of a ton more for both universes:

LOTR:
Smaug
Bolg/Azog
Assorted Orcs (Gorbag, Shagrat, Radbug)
Bill Ferney
Grima Wormtongue
Mouth of Sauron

SW:
Nute Gunray
Rune Hako
Greedo
Grand Moff Tarkin
Poggle
General Grevious
Jango Fett
Assorted Battle Driods/Stormtroopers

That's just off the top of my head (though granted, I have a known OOC affinity for the villains ).

Also, why the questionmark next to Bobba Fett? He's mentioned in the OP, of course he'll be in the game, though that says nothing about his allignment.

This isn't even a full list. I'm ignoring expanded universe for both source materials, and there's a lot to work with there. (my role from last time is proof that EU is not out of the question). I'm even ignoring things like Clone Wars, or most of the Sillmarillion.

That said, I have good reason to believe the towns aren't fully evil. That doesn't exclude them being some kind of wierd mixture of original allignments though.

Don't know enough about LOTR lore, don't want to go wiki-hunting.

So this is host confirmation that sillmarillion characters aren't present?

LOTR:
Smaug - possible
Bolg/Azog - possible
Assorted Orcs (Gorbag, Shagrat, Radbug) - hardly iconic, most people won't even know they exist.
Bill Ferney - I can't even remember who this guy is.
Grima Wormtongue - not really.
Mouth of Sauron - not really.

SW:
Nute Gunray - loltradefederation
Rune Hako - who is this guy
Greedo - barely a character
Grand Moff Tarkin - possible
Poggle - what
General Grevious - possible
Jango Fett - possible
Assorted Battle Driods/Stormtroopers - not really

There are a lot more 'unique' and interesting good characters over evils.

Yes there might be more to work with if you use larger universes, but this is a far more mainstream guy. Zack is hardly going to put in Hurin the Steadfast now is he?

 

[Visorslash]

Can you name say 12 interesting Star Wars and LOTR evil characters compared to similar good?

Not likely. You'd be digging real deep.

 

[JohannaK]

So the ring is going to the filthy bipolar creature? Man we're bleeped.

 

[KingMorgan]

Do not believe the snake tongue of Saura-slash, he knows only little of what he babbles about!

If the principle of "first dibbs" is lost on you sheeple, then Pouter Pigeon is the nearest thing we have to a good and honourable Eagle, give them ring.

 

[Al Sipsclar]

Whoa, whoa! You're insulting somebody's cultural heritage!

Once again, Visorslash is an impostor. The real Gollum has seen the error of his old ways, got counseling and cleaned up really well. He's become a notorious tomb raider and made a fortune with all those spelunking skills.

Spoiler :

Also, apparently went trans, but the looks might be deceiving...

 

[JohannaK]

If anything I am insulted by your suggestion that I am insulting.

 

[azzaman333]

Visorslash because why not.

 

[Snerk]

Well, it can't be as bad as a certain mask, eh Snerk?

Perhaps even worse!

Isn't that more likely to be mafia behaviour?

Not necessarily. Pouter Pigeon

 

[Newyn]

Isn't that more likely to be mafia behaviour?

I don't see how not wanting the ring is any more or less likely to be mafia behaviour than wanting the ring.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, Visor wants everything in games he's not running, so that's hardly indicative of being scum. However, if we have at least four factions in this game and we're being explicitly asked to give away the One Ring on Day One (in lore the most corrupting force known to mankind, other than warm milk and ABBA music of course), I wouldn't want to hand it just willy-nilly to the first (or even eleventh!) person who asks.

Why would you not want things!

Spoiler :

Obviously, Jaxxon is going to be in the game.

Did you know that my tribal name is Rabbit Foot?

I don't see how not wanting the ring is any more or less likely to be mafia behaviour than wanting the ring.

Agreed.

 

[Arakhor]

Why would you not want things!

When it's the One Ring, I can usually contain myself.

Spoiler :

ABBA music, maybe not so much...

 

[Legato Endless]

Pouter Pigeon.

No man who likes ABBA should be trusted with anything of importance.

 

[Arakhor]

Do you hear the Ring, Legato? I remember, not so long ago, another game like this.

 

[BSmith1068]

Gollum with the ring? What could go wrong? Visorslash

 

[Cuthillius]

Unvote: self JohannaK

 

[classical_hero]

Pouter Pigeon I don't think he is quite so foul as everyone else.
