Vote Up A Villain IV! [Voting Closed, Villain Complete!] (3.5)

[Debihuman]

Well gosh darn it, I missed out on voting for a type again, but vermin is cool. I vote for Unique Insect.

Debby

[starwoof]

Unique SOMETHING WORSE.

[Reath]

I almost want to vote for Locust swarm, but...

Unique (Something Worse) was just too tempting!

[Athaniar]

Unique (Something Worse) sounds too interesting not to take.

[Rockbird]

Unique (Something Worse). Because there always needs to be something worse.

[Fako]

Unique(Something Worse)

I can't help but think of Starship Troopers when I read that...

[Juhn]

Rats are rodents, not vermin. Though, I'm pretty sure vermin is just a derogatory term for anything disgusting and/or disease-ridden.

Assuming Unique (Something Worse) means we'll end up with something Zerg-like, I vote Unique (Insect). Some insects can be pretty darn terrifying though. Bullet ants, anyone? *Shudder* Bot-flies?

[afroakuma]

Vermin is a term applied to various animal species regarded as pests or nuisances and especially to those associated with the carrying of disease.

In common parlance, I have never heard the word used to describe anything other than a rodent.

[TheCheshireHat]

How could I possibly not vote for Unique (something Worse)?

[Zeta Kai]

I really like where the bandwagon is going, so I shall vote for Unique (Something Worse).

[Pronounceable]

Afro, I hereby accuse you of fixing the votes. How can anyone not vote on something worse? You could've dropped the pretense of democracy and said "I got an awesome unique thingy in mind." And we would've said: "Cool!"

Vermin is any critter that causes grief to humanity (rats, locusts, mosquitos, children...) afaik.


And I, for one, welcome our new insectoid overlord.

EDIT: Do we need moar dakka? I'm sure we need moar dakka.

[afroakuma]

I restored the pretense of democracy by also offering Unique (Swarm).

I actually don't have anything in mind. That will wait.

And yes, we always need moar dakka. Only the gods have enuff dakka.

[Vexxation]

Unique (Something Worse) all the way.

[Reverent-One]

Bandwagon jumping ahoy! Unique (Something Worse)

[Vagnarok]

Unique: Something Worse I'll be darned if I have a freakin rat as my vote up villian.

The something worse should totally be a construct. lol

[puppyavenger]

unique something worse!

[afroakuma]

There's no chance of a rat. And it will not be a construct. That is all.

[puppyavenger]

hmmm, even if we made it's motivation logic?

[afroakuma]

Yep. Even then.

Also of note: Class will be skipped. Alignment will be skipped.

[Juhn]

Alignment will be skipped? So, there's no chance of this being an intelligent insect?

Well, that's just boring then. I mean, come on, the plant got an alignment and it was a freaking plant.

[Reath]

At least the voting process'll be rather short, comparatively.

Means the villian comes sooner!

[Juhn]

I still want my alignment vote. Skipping the class makes sense, but if the plant got an alignment, then...

[LordZarth]

Yep. Even then.

Also of note: Class will be skipped. Alignment will be skipped.

Alignment will be skipped? So, there's no chance of this being an intelligent insect?

Juhn, it can still be Neutral and have no classes and be intelligent.

I vote Unique (Something Worse). Afroakuma, I don't know if you've already decided on this, but can it PLEASE be some sort of swarm ONLY IN THE SENSE of a hive mind?

As in, something worse and unique but not necessarily ruling out insect or swarm (the other options)?

[Copacetic]

Unique(Something Better)



*cough*


Unique (Something Worse)

[afroakuma]

Part and parcel of the Vermin type. Vermin are mindless. Otherwise it would be an aberration or magical beast.

Doesn't mean it isn't clever. Just means you won't be able to talk to it.

Anyone want to contest this?

Afroakuma, I don't know if you've already decided on this, but can it PLEASE be some sort of swarm ONLY IN THE SENSE of a hive mind?

As in, something worse and unique but not necessarily ruling out insect or swarm (the other options)?

...are you trying to vote for three options?

Unique(Something Better)

...you want it to be less creepy?

[LordZarth]

...are you trying to vote for three options?

Er... yes, kind of?

Let me rephrase all that: Afroakuma, don't forget that 'Unique (Something Worse)' doesn't necessarily rule out any of the other options. It just... amplifies them.

Also, I said: to what extent you're taking suggestions, may we haz hive mindz?

[afroakuma]

Er... yes, kind of?

Bad. Bad Zarth.

Let me rephrase all that: Afroakuma, don't forget that 'Unique (Something Worse)' necessarily rules out all of the other options.

Unless it can be both unique and a giant bombardier beetle, you lost that argument before ever coming up with it.

Also, I said: to what extent you're taking suggestions, may we haz hive mindz?

You don't want a hive mind. The thing that I'm considering would be beyond terrifying if it operated with a hive mind.

[Juhn]

Vermin are mindless.

...So are plants, if I'm not mistaken, and that one got an alignment. It was also incapable of talking unless it posessed someone, from what I remember. It was still Neutral Evil, though.

[bue52]

Unique(Something worse) is always better for a villain, surprise us please.

[afroakuma]

Nope, Plants are not mindless. Not to mention, I can find WotC published plants with alignments and Intelligence scores. If you can find me a WotC published Vermin with an Intelligence score and non-Neutral alignment, I'll consider it.
