    Default Finals: Vote for talents

    The final of The Weakest Link 2009 is now upon us! Before we begin the finalists must vote for the talent choices for their character. The randomly generated PC is....

    A Dragon-born male human paladin.

    So that means likely 1 talent, maybe 2. With extreme luck you might get 3, but it's very unlikely.

    With food pres, good starting PV and okay spellcasting abilities this could be a decent character. Any thoughts on names? And yeah, now's the time to start bickering over talent choices. Game will commence in a couple of days.

    Also, a little warning. I'm going to America on Thursday (Boston in particular), and have yet to sort out any proper residence, so my online access and my ability to organise things may be a little patchy. I hope this won't cause any serious delays, but we'll have to see...

    I'll go long stride as well. If we get two, Strong.

    As for names... After a mis-spent afternoon, I'm voting for Columbo (named for the detective).

    I live in Boston. If you can't find anywhere, I can ask my roommates if you can sleep on the couch. =P

    Um...
    1) Alert
    2) Miser
    3) Good Learner

    And I second 'Columbo'.

    Definitely Not Alert. Definitely Not Miser. Most Definitely Not TH.

    Not Good Learner.

    I generated a few test chars, they seem to have an average of 100 speed. Meaning that the speed talents could be really really good for us.

    Bad at learning from books (at ~55 Literacy at least, after advancing to level 4 or so), so might concentrate on missiles instead, therefore i'd say go for the missile talents?

    Name? Meh, Columbo is as good as any, so...
    Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

    A very kind offer, but it shouldn't be needed I'd be more interested in checking if you know of any bars around Boston that are hiring at the mo?

    If we have multiple talents, then alert + miser (+TH).

    If we have just one starting talent, then careful.

    Actually, I did know of *one* specific opening because of someone going on leave... unfortunately quite some time ago. The job situation here is less than ideal, but a quick search of craigslist shows a couple bar postings per day. I presume you're going to have a guide already, but feel free to ask me any questions about where things are or where you're likely to get mugged or w/e. =P

    So, talent votes are:

    2 for Alert
    2 for Long Stride
    1 for speed

    My own personal vote would be for long stride, and I think Epythic would rather it over Alert too, thus the TH line has been voted out.

    The game will begin at midnight GMT tonight.

    In the interests of clarity here is how everyone voted for placement choices:

    Epythic: 165432
    Covenant: 231465
    mike: 231456
    meh: 615432
    Grey: 564321
    tapi: 654321

    So all but the two last place guys got their first choice
