OOTS death pool (thread #4)

[Sniffnoy]

And again.

[DeliaP]

A request: can the first post be updated to mention which had been the latest death, please? It currently states Nale, but obviously Crystal and Bozzock are the most recent since then.

Many thanks.

(Ideally, there'd be some way of indicating which votes hadn't changed since the last death, and therefore were still eligible to change, but that's a lot of work for the thread maintainers, just because I keep forgetting if my vote had changed yet )

[Sniffnoy]

OK, I can do that!

Can I call Bandana? I didn't know this thing existed until now.

Sure thing! Yeah the thread got moved to here from the main forum and since then it's mostly died down. :-/ Oh well...

Since Bandana is clearly allowed (there's one bet on her already), I'll interpret that as an actual bet unless you say otherwise.

[IDrankWHAT]

I'd like to place a bet down on all three of the main Mechane characters that we've met: Andi, Bandana and poor Felix. Don't ask me why I'm mentioning Felix, it just seems he may get hurt somehow. Or will I need to put a response for each one?

You can only bet on one character at a time. Which one do you want to bet on?

[Xihirli]

I'm betting on Xykon.

[Mister Tom]

I shall start with a Felix Down.

[Sniffnoy]

None of the characters killed off in #1060 have 10 appearances or more (though I'll wait for the appearances thread to be certain), and nobody had bet on them (I doubt I'd have even allowed such a bet), so no, bets may still not be changed.

[b_jonas]

I bet on Andi aka Andromeda.

[GM_3826]

Still waiting for Tarquin to be killed off screen in a most ironic fashion.

[Markozeta]

No X's on the eyes, is there?

[Sniffnoy]

Nope. Not counting Bandana out yet.

[Generic-Guy]

Nope. Not counting Bandana out yet.

I join in and say Bandana. I belive that the Giant only wants to keep the tension of the fight before he reveals her dead.

[dadada]

Put me down for Elan

And, bumping for visibility.

I'll put my money on Belkar! What, he was prophesied to die in book three by the end of the in story year. By my count, that's soon. Roy gone for let's say four months while he's dead. Moving through the desert takes another month, and by the end of the fifth book they're in a hot sweety desert but the start of the sixth book frosty mountains? That's another month. Now the oracle said the end of the year, not 365 days after the prophesy is given. Taking into account of the "Chinese New Year" situation at the beginning of the third book, we can say it's about two to three months into the year. Counting for a margin of error we'll add one more month. That's a total of seven or eight months into the year. Boom, math.

Good math. I still think that Tarquin will die before Belkar, likely without much fanfare (judging by how Crystal was dumped into a lava pit just to get that subplot out of the way). After all, July or August isn't exactly the end of the year. It's the middle.

[Fin]

I'll put my chips down on Felix he's just involved enough to create some sadness at his passing but not integral enough to live!

[Insertmeme]

My bet: Belkar Bitterleaf. More specifically, I think he will be vampirized by Durkon/HpoH and possibly killing V.

[DeliaP]

I was going to ask if the Ice Giantess was a candidate for betting, as she's been in a few comics and even had character development (of a sort), but I wasn't in a position to change my bet anyway, and now over the side she goes, which means we may never see if she gets X's in her eyes...

[Sniffnoy]

Bumping for visibility once again.

[Bob_McSurly]

I'm going to go with Greg/Durkula.

[Ezeze]

I'm putting my money on Belkar Bitterleaf.

The prophets been on point so far, and I think they are going to use him to Worf for Durkon.

[Sniffnoy]

Bumping for visibility.

And just in case there was any confusion on the matter (I don't think there was), none of the recent deaths of the dwarves at the hands of the vampires count.

[Bob_McSurly]

Does the vampire version of Brother Sandstone count?

[Sniffnoy]

Does the vampire version of Brother Sandstone count?

Ooh, good question, I missed that, thanks!

Unfortunately by the rules I set forth earlier I have to say no. Brother Sandstone only has a total of 8 appearances and nobody bet on him. So he doesn't count, and bets still can't be changed.

[Bob_McSurly]

Thanks for the info!
