I don't mean give me your lists, let's put together one comprehensive list that the entire board can agree on.

Everyone can put together their own little list, and you get to name one character with every turn. You can name anyone off your list, but personally I think it would make more sense if we all started at the bottom end of the spectrum and worked our way up, that way we can all end up with the very best at the end. You don't want to play your top card early on only to have it get beaten by an even better character. But it's up to you.

The rules are simple.. we'll first get a list of everyone who wants to play, and then we'll go in order, giving one name per turn.

These names will then go on the list.

There are only 10 spots though, so after we've named 10 characters.. from then on it's a battle for position. If someone names a character that's better than what is already up there, that character moves down the list to make way for the new one.

As new characters are added, the old characters will eventually fall off and be eliminated completely.

Characters will be judged on a combination of coolness and toughness, which we can all debate after the pick. We're all judges in this contest, as the list is a comprehensive one, so I won't be the decider on anything..

One character per actor.


So who wants to play?

Let's get a list of participants first, so we can set an order.

Sure, I'm in.

[Chris]

Sure, I'm in.

Cool!

[D]

I'm not sure I understand the toughness part.
I think the "top 10 coolest characters" and the "top 10 coolest and toughest characters" would produce two different lists.

[D]

Oh yeah, I'm in.
Maybe badass is a good way to describe it? Is that what you're looking for?

I guess. It's gotta be a combination of cool and tough. So, for example.. if you say Marty McFly. Well, he's cool (at times - playing guitar, etc.).. but is he tough? So he would be beaten by someone who is more balanced in the cool/tough thing.

A good example of cool and tough: Luke from Cool Hand Luke. He's definitely cool, and he's pretty tough.

Call it badass if that's more appropriate, I dunno, LOL.. if that works for everyone, then lets do that.

I dunno - I hate the word 'badass.' It just seems so...AICN, I guess.

Yeah, I agree. That's why I was kind of trying to go with something else.

[nietoperz]

'Coolest' works for me.

[Psivage]

sure

One character per actor.

So we can't have Han Solo and Indiana Jones?
That is not only absolutely ludicrous, but absurd, preposterous, and laughably ridiculous!
I will have part of this!

[Daniel]

If I understand it, I would love to do it.

agreed.

[D]

So to be cool you have to fight? Fine, war monger.

Nah, I'm just kidding. We all get the jist of what Reek's looking for. The only reason I brought it up is because one of the characters I thought up was the Dude, who is extremely cool, but can't make the Top 10 coolest characters because he's more of a lover.
