By a final score of 22-17 James Bond has defeated Sterling Archer to claim his seat at the Hall of Kings! Bond, clearly the icon of this trope, isn't the first such to win a contest but faced some tough competition throughout this game. One of the many Bonds, Sir Roger Moore, passed away during the course of this contest so here's to him. He will join the ranks as the very best spy there is, proving that indeed, Nobody Does It Better.

Hall of Kings:

Aliens: Garrus Vakarian
Archers: Robin Hood
Assassins: Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Bears: Banjo
Detectives: Sherlock Holmes
Knights: Jaime Lannister
Mages: Gandalf
Musicians: Jigglypuff
Ninja: Ryu Hayabusa
Pets: Garfield
Pirates: Captain Jack Sparrow
Robots: Optimus Prime
Royalty: Bowser
Scientists: Dr. Henry Jekyll
Soldiers: Solid Snake
Spies: James Bond
Swordsmen: Inigo Montoya
Teachers: Walter White
Thieves: Carmen Sandiego
Time Travelers: Trunks
Undead: Jack Skellington



http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/King_of_the_Mountain_Nominations

Now it's time to check out the link above and decide on our next trope. King of the Mountain is a standard Save My contest intended to identify the superior character from various tropes across fictional media. Take a look and nominate which category you'd like to see next! You may nominate in this topic through July 7th at 11:59pm EST. At that time, the contest with the most nominations will be our next and nominations will begin the very next day in the afternoon hours. In the event of a tie, I will decide.


Feel free to discuss the next and last contests in this topic as well. I know this contest did drag at times, but my work schedule being what it is sometimes makes it difficult. I may need to seriously consider morning rounds, despite most of you not seeming to want that. Unless I come straight home after work, it's difficult to make sure a round happens that day. It definitely isn't my intention to take random days off at a time, as happened in this one.

I think morning rounds are just fine, and definitely preferable to having a lot of gap days. I feel like the frequent gaps really hurt the contest activity (not that it's your fault, but that's just how it turned out). It's hard to stay excited in a contest when it's that sporadic.

Bond has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a kid. Definitely my favorite winner so far, closely followed by Bowser.

And that was a nice writeup for him, Charon. Particularly the Roger Moore part. This contest ended up being a very fitting tribute to him.

Just happy I got a Top 3. I would have flipped the order personally but it's hard to argue that James Bond isn't the King of spies. I'm so glad that Mike Ehrmantraut didn't win over an actual spy.

Modern Bond is best, the writing is better is mostly why I think. Craig deserves credit though.

I wouldn't really consider Deadpool a bounty hunter, he did it once during Civil War but that's about it.

I think Samus vs. Boba is way more inevitable.

Yeah, I'm really wracking my brain for another notable time he was a bounty hunter. Mercenary, sure. Bounty hunter? Not really.
