Save My KOTR Elector (Open to all)

[Zim]

Save Elberhard.

Flydude's flattery has worked. Plus, I couldn't decide, and he was the first to make a suggestion to me.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Save Matthias Steffen.

[Ferret]

TAKE THAT ZIM! THE EVIL HUMMEL IS DEAD!

Save Elberhard. We have a winner.

Thos last rounds went by fast. And Congratulations to the winner, I guess!

Now I might not be the first one to point out that this was never an objective contest at all and I think all people here involved know it. I still love this thread for the fact that it made me remember a lot of the Electors we had in the previous game, and made me think back again on many facets of the game that I enjoyed. It has brought back those memories from the beginning and for that I love this thread and also its results!

I think we can agree that good fun was had by all and in the end it doesn't matter which Elector was the most memorable, but that the game in itself was so memorable that this thread got started. In the end we all had the fortune to participate in such a great gaming experience on several levels!

And it's probably not entirely coincidental that the winner of this contest is one other than one of econ21s characters to whom we owe in large part the existence of this thread.

So here's to us!



By the way, GH if you really want to put yourself through it I'd be interested in the results of your method too.

I'm actually shocked that Jan made 3rd place. In the beginning of this, I doubted he would make top 10. But, he apparently made an impression on people and I guess that is the best you can hope for when you create characters. You hope you make something that others will enjoy interacting with. Jan will always hold a special place in this old role-player's heart. Tortured and imperfect, he did always try to do what he thought was right. Against all odds, he was able to impact the world he lived in. Now he can finally rest in the peace he did not have while alive.

I'm happy Matthias got 2nd place. I always admired how fleshed out he was. I wondered if OverKnight would be able to top Otto but in my opinion, he did. Matthias and Jan were two men who wanted the same thing. And that was to be King of Outremer. So they ended up butting heads very often. But despite so much IC tension, OK always made interacting with Matthias fun and entertaining. I'll never forget the time Matthias was in the tavern and was trying to find something to order that wasn't alcoholic. Then trying to intimidate Jens with a milk mustache was just icing on the cake.

And finally Elberhard. I wondered how a player was going to have their character swear a lot without breaking .org rules and still trying to keep it fresh and entertaining. But Econ pulled it off. On top of that, Elberhard was also maxed out on chivalry. The combination was hilarious. I'll never forget Elberhard crying over "me Arnolds!" In parting, I will share some words Elberhard said to Jan in a letter. When Elberhard first became Kaiser, Jan wrote him and offered to resign as King so Elberhard could pick who he wanted to be King of Outremer. Elberhard wrote back immediately, "Jan, I could no more replace you than I could get Ansehelm to give me a wet kiss."

And finally, thank you to Cecil for putting on this game and thanks to everyone who played.

[AussieGiant]

Certainly want to say thanks to everyone too.

[GeneralHankerchief]

'grats to Elberhard. I eagerly wait Cecil's description of the three finalists.

That said, I guess I should start working through the system. See you in a few months.
