    1. The strators to be voted on are as follows: (Big thanks to TheFlax for compiling this list)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    1. Alesios ek Ikoniou
    2. Aleksios ek Pigis
    3. Aleksios Komnenos
    4. Ammonathas Kalameteros
    5. Anastasios Neokaisareitis
    6. Andreas Dermokaitis
    7. Andronikos Komnenos
    8. Anna Kalameteros née Komnenos
    9. Annios Solomon

    15. Efstatios Laskaris
    16. Efstratios Monomachos
    17. Efthymios ek Herakliou
    18. Evmathios Komnenos
    19. Georgios Angelos
    20. Helarionas Anargiros (aka Sergios ek Kallipoleos Echter)
    21. Hypatios Machonios
    22. Iakovos ek Kallipoleos
    23. Ioannis Erotikos
    24. Ioannis Kantakouzinos
    25. Ioannis Kalameteros
    26. Ioannis Komnenos
    27. Ioannis Komnenos II
    28. Ioannis Komnenos III
    29. Ioannis Tagaris
    30. Iosif ek Artas
    31. Isaakios Komnenos
    32. Khristophoros Diogenis
    33. Klimis Dokeianos
    34. Kosmas Mavrozomis
    35. Koulianos Vourzos
    36. Kousinos Sophianos (aka Constance Ksanthopoulos)
    37. Leon Symmachos
    38. Lisas Attaleiatis
    39. Magnentios Kalameteros
    40. Makedonios Ksanthopoulos
    41. Markianos Ampelas
    42. Markos ek Sinopis
    43. Methodios Tagaris
    44. Michail Arianitis
    45. Nathanail ek Korinthou
    46. Nevoulos ek Philadelphias
    47. Nikilaos Aristenos
    48. Nikiphoros Manouelitis
    49. Nikitas Moshos
    50. Pavlos Chrysovergos
    51. Philippos Eirinikos
    52. Savvas ek Militou
    53. Sophronios Komnenos
    54. Stavros ek Amarinthou
    55. Tarasios Sarantinos
    56. Tiverios Indikoplefstis
    57. Theophilos Tzimiskis
    58. Theophylaktos Petzeas
    59. Vakchos Tzetzis
    60. Vartholomaios Ksiros
    61. Vissarionas ek Lesvou
    62. Zigavinos Vasilakios


    2. Anyone can choose to save a strator by making a post that says 'I save so-and-so'. That strator is safe until the next round.

    3. In order to get the less memorable characters out the way quickly, at the beginning three strators will be eliminated each round. Over the course of the contest this number will be reduced, and if time allows strators me require multiple saves from different people towards the end.

    4. Anyone can save a strator for any reason, with the caveat that a person can only save a strator once in six-hour period.

    5. Discussion is welcome about what pace we're going on, and what should be changed to fix that. Ideally this would be finished right around the time KotF begins, but since this took two months (!) last time, we could be in trouble!

    6. Everyone is encouraged to post updated lists during the rounds, consisting soley of those strators who still need to be saved at the moment. This is especially important when we start a new page, for conviences sake.

    Finally, I save Anna Komnenos. Let's hope I give her a similarly auspicious start!

    Okay, I know he wasn't officially a Strator, but I'd still like to see how far the Patriarchial Representative gets in this.

    Save Andronikos Komnenos for singlehandedly providing me with hours of work in the game's final month or so.

    I promise that my next character won't be quite so belligerent

    Save Efstatios Laskaris for making the Crusade memorable.

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    If am not mistaken, Ioannis Kalameteros, Anna Kalameteros and Apionnas Vringas were all alive at the end. I'm probably missing some.

    Seeing that list just drives home in force how difficult I found it to keep those names apart.

    Anastasios Neokaisareitis for being a shortlived villain. I would have loved to see the full potential of this character.

    Save Magnentios Kalameteros (Known as Father Bastard) because his name is one of the most unforgettable happenings in the whole of LotR.

    (I do have a slightly more serious list to save, but I don't want the Bastard washing out early just because he didn't last long in the game)
