[GAME] S2 - Rate The Character /10! Day #134: Othmar Garithos

[Starshade]

So... Kalec asked me to make the game topics in his absence to keep their timing and duration as consistent as possible. I will be doing so for the next few days as long as I don't get classes to teach in the morning. He gave me all the forms to make this as easy to copy/paste as possible, as well as the absolute liberty in choosing the characters, so hopefully I won't mess this up, but please tell me if I forgot something.

Rules:

- One character to be polled every day, to be voted on a scale of 1 to 10.
- Each poll lasts for 24 hours and closes automatically. Shortly afterwards, a new Day starts!
- We have an initial roster for S2 that will be picked from randomly. For the remainder of the Season, characters need 10 nominations to make it to the next poll, with players allowed a single S2 nomination a Day each.
- Nominations expire every 5 days. Each day a character gets a new nominations, the 5 days counter resets again.
- If a character has two incarnations, both from the main and alternative universes, then the poll will be referring to both versions simultaneously.
- Every ten days, we will have a SPECIAL Day! We will host a character from Season 1 to re-vote! Meaning, Days #110,120,130... etc will be about characters from Season 1.
- Days that end with 5 will always feature a major or an iconic character! Meaning, Days #115, 125, 135... etc will be similar to what the SPECIAL Days of S1 used to be, but the character will be picked from the nominations list instead of being a random major.
- The same nominating rule apply for SPECIAL Days! Players can nominate a character for Season 2 AND for SPECIAL Days in the same post. So in other words, you can nominate twice per topic; once for S2, and once for S1!
- The Game Master reserves the right to decline any nomination without giving the reason, though a reason will usually be provided.
- The Game Master can participate in the voting, but is not allowed to nominate.
- Regarding the S1 re-voted characters, there is no longer a criteria of votes to be achieved. Instead, the nomination will be treated like a competition; the character that gets the most votes before the next SPECIAL Day will be featured on the next SPECIAL Day.
- Only SPECIAL Days nominations (S1 characters) are allowed during SPECIAL Days.
- Have fun voting, everyone! And don't forget to place your nominations as well!

[Captain Douchebag]

Massive racist, especially towards elves - that's a 10/10

[Starshade]

I gave it a lot of thought. I still couldn't give him more than 1/10 because I couldn't be unbiased.

I really hate his character, and that means for his role in the story he is supposed to be a decently presented character at least. My mental score is between 4 and 5 for the purpose he served, but my hatred for his personality and how he treated the Sin'dorei was too strong for me to overlook.

[steelballfc]

the reason why forsaken and blood elf's joined the Horde

[Raetary]

Fuck no, i hated this racist bitch with a passion.
Bless sylvanas for getting rid of that ass.
1/10

[Superman Z]

He deserves a 5/10. I get it, you people hate him for what he did to the elves, and I can sympathize, but we don't get many characters in a similar role anymore so I appreciate such a character.

I will nominate Danath Trollbane again in hope that he doesn't fall this time.

[Captain Douchebag]

I will nominate Danath Trollbane again in hope that he doesn't fall this time.

I'll help you this time, nominating him aswell.

[Aeula]

Too biased to vote higher than 1/10. It gives me great comfort to know that Garithos is literally ghoul shit right now. Hopefully Jaina's next.

[Superman Z]

I'll help you this time, nominating him aswell.

You truly are a mighty hero. By the authority granted to me by the nerd society, I hereby bestow upon you the rank of an honorary member of the Justice League, alongside the likes of Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman and myself, among many esteemed others.

[Lycanhero]

Giving him a 1/10 because of my sheer hatred for him.

[Sangris]

Now this one is interesting. He's a disgusting, racist piece of (ghoul)shit, but his impact led to the blood elves eventually joining the Horde, as well as them joining the Illidari.
On the other hand, without him and all the consequences, Kael'thas might still be a faction leader today, even if it was in the Alliance instead.

Therefore I conclude that without him my favorite character might not have been completely ruined. Can't give him anything but 1/10.

[Captain Douchebag]

You truly are a mighty hero. By the authority granted to me by the nerd society, I hereby bestow upon you the rank of an honorary member of the Justice League, alongside the likes of Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman and myself, among many esteemed others.

Awesome, I guess my superpowers will be enhanced douchebaggery.

[Ethenil]

Massive racist, especially towards elves - that's a 10/10

Massive racist, especially towards elves - that's a 3/10

[Captain Douchebag]

Massive racist, especially towards elves - that's a 3/10

You hit the exact rating I actually gave him, that's pretty kewl yo.

[Deleted]

You hit the exact rating I actually gave him, that's pretty kewl yo.

That is my rating as well. I followed the conversation and it was funny seeing 0 x 10 votes considering your post.

Interesting pick, @Starshade. I admit that I didn't think about him when you said yesterday that you will pick a character you hate, but knowing you it is easy to take you as a passionate Garithos hater.

The reason I gave him that rating is because my reasoning falls exactly in the middle between Star's and Superman's; I can't be unbiased yet I acknowledge his role and the need for similar characters in the franchise.

[Dahlia Dawnseeker]

Just so that people are aware, we are covered all the way to Day #176 (including SPECIAL Days.)

I think we are going on an acceptable rate, so don't be shy to nominate folks.

[Arrashi]

Instant 10/10 for bitch-handling elves and than having enough dignity to die without setback. He is a real HUMAN bean. And a real hero.
If wow characters had theme songs this would be his:

[OIS]

King of the True Alliance, triggering haughty, anorexic mana addicts since 2003.

[Deleted]

Being a racist towards elves and dwarves that really wanted to help him / accepting Sylvanas' offer without hesitation. It shows how well this character is NOT written. 1/10

I'm so glad Sylvanas didn't rise this scum as one of her forsaken.

Mathias Shaw

[Deleted]

It shows how well this character is NOT written.

He is written though...
