Damn and blast. I wanted Orion

500th post!

 

We're approaching the time limit here, right?

 

I choose Houyi.

 

The High Command

1. Raijin

Nooooooo!



Again.

 

Nice.

Houyi's cool.




-?Round 6?-

1. The_Chim - Chimera
2. Aragorn327 - Circe
3. JediKnight20043 - Eir
4. Drac39 - Orion
5. Hammurabi - Houyi
6. OBI-BEN-KENOBI - Dagda
7. whiteeagle - On The Clock
8. Imrahil
9. EmpireForever
10. TheLighterSide
11. NYCitygurl
12. JediNemesis
13. Despised1
14. Stryker_360
15. SWBob
16. Zizz

 

I was this close to picking Dagda - Tyi can assert to the fact that he's the next highest person on my list, even before Houyi - but I decided Houyi was thoroughly awesome. Expect an updated list of my team sometime soon



EDIT: I think it's weird that on page 4 of my image search for Houyi, this page itself came up.

 

Happens a lot when you use Google images to search lesser known characters. In a lot of different drafts too.

 

lol but why the "Athena Medusa"?

 

The "Athena medusa" is because google works in mysterious ways. Now - on with Team Awesomesauce!

I feel my love for this team needs no explaining. Every one feels like a steal.





I've decided to opt for classy/ferocious pics this time. Still awesome.

Don't we all wish our dogs had three heads?

 

Hey all, just stopping in to say hello. I still don't have web access, and am only online because I am at my parents house. It may not be too much longer though, hopefully within the next week or two I should be back to my regular posting habits.

The team is looking good so far, glad I was able to snag Fafnir and Garmr. Keep making the excellent picks for me Tyi, I very much appreciate it.

See you all soon.

 

I feel the need to jump on the picture-posting bandwagon.

Were You Still Up For Portillo? OR The Norsefire Party

5. Nuada

Yep, I'm happy.

 

Hmm. Tough decision here. I really don't want certain people to get taken, and I don't know which of them to take. I suppose I'll take someone who beat a trump that beat a first rounder. He also fights people with one hand tied behind his back, just to make things fair. Plus he's Irish.

Give me Conall Cernach

Highlands and Islands

1. Arthur

Gameban Sock of TheLighterSide posting here...

And I'll add to my team who I think is probably one of the best Greek/Roman mortals still out there. Many adventures and such...

If you imagine those images as a joke, the reaction is a groan.

Nice pick EF.
