Some highlights from SSO's 2018 Halloween dialogue because this deserves to be seen

(from what I can gather, in 2018 there was a party at Purple Pony at the mall and characters were chattable)

Avalon: For a while there, I ran a tabletop gaming campaign with Linda and a few of the younger Druids. Once we invited Fripp to join us. It was amusing at first, the care that he put into rolling his character. But once the adventure heated up, he became a little dictator, telling everyone in the party what to do. And somehow, he never made a bad dice roll, and all of my rolls were misses against him. It just wasn't fun anymore. We haven't played since.

Mary: If I'm completely honest, I don't really like ghost stories. No, I'm not a scared little lamb. Quite the contrary I just prefer slasher films. The gorier the better. // Favorite horror movie? Definitely Silence of the Lambs. (holy shit Mary)

Avalon: The last time I spoke with Anne von Blyssen, she asked to take my portrait. She’s so talented with the camera, you know. She has a real gift for capturing the soul of her subject. I tried play it cool, laugh it off, but really I was just scared of opening myself up… If she comes back… no, when she comes back… I’m going to pose for that portrait.

Avalon: I feel most at home when I'm surrounded by books. Yes, even comic books. Before joining the Keepers of Aideen, I was a librarian at Fort Maria up until… the incident. Perhaps once the Soul Riders are together again we can look into that matter. (the ~incident~ dates back to 2018!)

Emma: You want another story? You're saying the first one wasn't scary enough for you? There was once a family who lived in a nice farm in Epona, but what they didn't know about was… THE CURSE! (Dun dun dun!) That's right, first all the animals got sick. Then, the people got sick. Then, uh… demons appeared out of the night and stole their farm! The family had to walk hungry in the cold night and they only had themselves to blame… Oh no, this is too sad… Never mind, they lived happily ever after and everyone got kittens! (an early mention of Dew family lore. GED are demons alright)

Emma: Sorry, I don't know any more ghost stories. But a strange thing happened to me the other night… I was cleaning up the racetrack in the Goldenhills woods and it had gotten very late. Then suddenly, there was this loud noise of machinery followed by a bright light right behind me! At first I just thought it was old Jasper taking his tractor to Cape West, but when I turned around there was a beam of light shining out of the ground! and in front of this light, I think I saw a monster… I only glimpsed the shadow, but I'm sure it looked like a creature standing upright on goat legs! I started running and didn't stop until I reached the riding hall. (fridge doors + goatmen/caprans👀)

Rami: Have I thought about drawing comics? Ha ha, not really. I can't do sequential art, but I have so much respect for those who can. Do you know Marjane Satrapi? She's amazing! It was her art and story that gave me the courage to leave home and chase my dreams. (a real-life artist from Iran, she's really cool)

Rin: If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I don't much care for the whitewashing of colonialism found in so many Euro board games. Take Settlers of Jorvik. You get victory points for your Jarl by "discovering" resources on the island. What about the people who were here before the Vikings? What about the Kallter?

Syntax: I don't know if it counts a Halloween Story, but the last volume of the Beatrix Ryder novels, The Knacker's Hobble, gave me nightmares. Up until that volume, the Knacker had only come after horses, but when Callum was in horse form, and the Knacker stole his soul, it was crushing. (Beatrix Ryder lore goes deep)

[star-stable-tournaments]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

Who will go up against who is randomized and can be found under the cut.
