I nominated "Urist McDwarf" for the GameFAQs character battle.

And so should you.

Should the game be called "Slaves to Armok: God of Blood - Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress", or simply Dwarf Fortress?

Not Tholtig, Captain Ironblood, or that one bastard who survived Boatmurdered who went around simultaneously wielding seven swords and god knows how many shields? I am shocked. Shocked and appalled.

Ironblood is definitely the best.

I would not want to see the tantrum spiral that Urist McDwarf's loss would cause.

I nominated Urist McDwarf, Captain Ironblood, and then Armok from "Slaves to Armok: God of Blood"

Yes if we get slaughtered it will be the tantrum spiral to end our fortress... but think if we win!  The joy of a happy thought better then the legendary dining room is hard to pass up.

Who knew I would ever use my GameFAQs account again...

PS. For the first 2 I went with the full name of the game.

I thought for sure Nemo or Holistic Detective or that Elven dwarf (cadame?) king I can't remember the name of would get nominated. Woe is me.

Fortunately I didn't use up all my votes for just such an occasion. Cacame Awemedinade has also been nominated (by me)

P.S. Blind faith aside none of these will likely even get enough nominations to even get an honorable mention.  So no worries about the biggest ass kicking in GameFAQs history.

This sounds like a good idea.  I remember the L block from Tetris traveled far, if not won, in the rankings one year.

Urist McDwarf should be summarized as the basic dwarf: Alcoholic, loyal, easily amused, and will run into danger for scraps of clothing.

Armok is YOU.

The other DF characters may have a chance too, but would require others to read the stories or understand the in-jokes.

Is is possible for Boatmurdered to be considered a character?

Silly people, its gamefaqs, the first wapanese looking rpg hero that shows up will win due the community's horrible horrible taste.

But we may as well try.  If anything, we spread the word of Toady's work. ;D

EDIT:  Entered in Urist McDwarf and Armok under Dwarf Fortress.

 And the L-block made it far, so they must have some hope right?

 Right?
