Board 8 > ^King of the Mountain^ - Save My Assassin - Nominations

(+) Yeah! (+)

Replace Vegeta with Nathan Wallace.

Seriously, it's Giles in a leather suit murdering people legally! And as we know from that Buffy episode, he has a lovely singing voice while he does it. What's not to love??

Logan is the best at what he does, and what he does best is make a Sknit Sound effect and call everyone Bub.

Wolverine's inclusion as "assassin" seems to be based on his early history (he was an assassin sent against Professor X). I'm really dubious on "Hey I used to be an assassin, but you never hear that much about it". Anyone more familiar with Wolverine care to clarify. I'm leaning towards inclusion for him.

Still leaning away on Bauer; events that happened prior to the show, not what the character is known for. As for Vegeta, did he carry out actual assignments?

If you are dubious on the "I used to be an assassin, but we don't talk about it," then pretty much all the Suikoden characters qualify in this aspect, with the possible exception of Dolph who isn't actually even in yet.

There's a handful of people on the list who have killing as part of the job, but I wouldn't really consider assassins. James Bond, Ada Wong and Boba Fett for example, I'd consider more like a spy/agent/merc who does many things including killing/assassinating. While I would say an assassin is someone who does nothing (or at least 90%) but killing jobs >_>.
But it depends on how vague vcharon wants to keep the definition

Generally, Wikipedia is fairly helpful. If they source the character as an assassin, generally it almost always is. Those first two are assassins, and Ada Wong was basically modeled after Nikita in just about every way.

As for Suikoden, yeah I'm aware of that as well. It's on an individual basis however; my question is that is Jack Bauer's "assassination" past really enough to even qualify him as an assassin. Soldiers aren't assassins, they are soldiers, even though they sometimes have the same goals.

You probably read through the 2 noms characters and missed her because charon miscounted.

Which means that charon tried to boycott her out of the contest and should include her and give her a free bye for 50 rounds.

Wolverine is definitely an assassin. He was an assassin for multiple government agencies, and was recently running the x men hit squad, X Force.

I remember Asajj having quite a few votes. Maybe I'm mistaken; I'll check.

Let me know of any other problems on the list. I am still browsing over it to be sure myself, but help is always nice (especially since I am not familiar with all the source material). I may begin the contest tonight or tomorrow, will depend on how late it gets.

I really like this field, my favorite out of the contests of the series yet.

I only care about 13 of the 100 entrants, and some of those are only half-hearted.

I'm rooting for five entries on the list. That makes it better than pirates.

I care about 11 of the contestants. It's a shame Itachi and Soi Fon didn't make it.

Long live Saint Seiya!!

On one hand it has got a solid group characters, a good number of which I like and will be voting for.
On the other hand it has got Desmond Miles, the blandest and most boring protagonist in the history of ever.

It's either the best group of nominations so far... or the worst

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

I like over 37 characters on this list. Great noms guys. (My tastes are broad)

I would exchange my HK47 nom for Asajj, but it's a bit late.

--
WTH Duke; just, WTH

The only thing that somewhat saddens me is that Jade always gets the shaft from these compared to Kitana and Mileena, despite being the best of the three from a gameplay and aesthetic perspective.

But I can't complain otherwise.

I would have nominated her if Kai Leng and Krycek would have made the field. I kept waiting and hoping...

I wonder the odds of HK-47 holding the distinction of two KotM titles (Assassin and Robot).

Definitely higher than Gex getting a theoretical Agent/Reptile award.

In all ability, it really depends. Assassins have a really strong group, but I can look at an OK chance.

--
WTH Duke; just, WTH

He probably has more of a chance at the Assassins title than the Robots title, but I would be very surprised if he didn't crack the top 10 in both fields.
