The Vote- Round One

-Please list the two duelist you felt performed the best. The winners will move on to the finals.

-While voting please keep in mind several things:
1. Creativity-
How creative was the character during the duel?
Did they use their surroundings?
Did they pull off an impressive feat?
2. Realistic-
Was the character playing realistically?
Did the character make logical sense in everything they did?
Remember: Your characters aren’t invincible. They may get hit with a spell or two or even become greatly injured. Don’t be afraid to get hurt a little. Nothing here will kill your characters. This will not be our only duels so you will have a chance to compete again should you be beaten
3. Story-
What is going on inside the characters mind?
Are they staying in character or doing thing a little out of the ordinary?
-Overall you may vote how you see fit. When reading the duels keep in mind whose duel you are reading. A duel between two adults may need to be viewed a bit differently than a duel between students.

- Also, try not to vote for your own characters. I realize some of you may be playing with more than one character, so try to send your votes to others you think have competed well.

Are we PMing them, or posting here?

Post Here. And we will see if I can make anything out of it.

I'm going to vote for a pair that actually posted together.

There were a few people I wanted to vote for, but as we're limited to two, I cast my vote as thus:

Iris Ayala and Mystique McKay

I think I just enjoyed their dynamic. I liked that Mystique decided to start the thread with a wild spell and that Iris responded appropriately - with terror.

Both characters allowed their character to be bested. When Iris posted saying that she used the smoky fog as cover, Mystique honored that.

Mystique also allowed her character to make a grave mistake and shoot herself with a spell. That takes a bit of strength, I think, to let your character make a foolish mistake, as all people make mistakes.

So, my vote goes to them.

I have three winners: Theodora Crewe, Iris Ayala, Whight Linstrum.

Acknowledgements for being active, true to character, and different/fun to read: Mystique Mykay, Alexander Jones, Zandell Dawlish.

But now that know who will post I feel like we should have semi finals where the people who posted get a chance to duel and then we pick winners. A lot of us didn't even get a chance to have a second post and that's a bloody shame.
