[DeadPoolX]

3. Freddy Pharkas

4. Larry Laffer

5. Laura Bow

6. Roger Wilco

7. Gabriel Knight

8. Prince of Shapeir

[BBP]

1. George Stobbart
2. Prince Alexander
3. Freddy Pharkas
4. Larry Laffer
5. Laura Bow
6. Roger Wilco
7. Gabriel Knight
8. Simon the Sorceror

You did kinda misspell Adrienne there.

[AndreaDraco]

1. George Stobbart - I don't really like either of them, but I slightly prefer George

2. Prince Alexander - Obviously: I didn't even vote for Adam in the first place!

3. Freddy Pharkas - So long, Manny. So long...

4. Larry Laffer - See, Larry, this time around you get my vote!

5. Princess Rosella - This one was tough

6. April Ryan - Another tough one

7. Gabriel Knight - This one was so easy

8. Prince of Shapeir - Another easy one

[Rath Darkblade]

1. George Stobbart.

2. Adam Greene.

3. This time I'll vote for Manny Calavera - mostly because, being dead, he can't be hurt by Freddy's six-shooters.

4. Larry Laffer, easily.

5. Laura Bow.

6. Roger Wilco.

7. Gabe - again, easily.

8. The Prince of Shapeir (once again, easily)

[Akril]

1. George Stobbart

2. Adam Greene

3. Freddy (interesting how many votes he's gotten so far)

4. Valanice

5. Rosella*

6. Roger

7. Adrianne

8. Simon

*To clarify: Laura has been chased around by a stranger in a black robe wielding a huge weapon. Rosella has spent some time wearing a black robe and has wielded an axe. Any questions?

[Datadog]

D'oh! I keep misspelling her name. Fixed!

1. Ben: Because if you keep pushing both of them off moving vehicles, George will eventually die first.

2. Prince Alexander: Because, I repeat, he made Death cry. If Adam made Delphineus cry, then he might have a little leverage there.

3. Manuel Calavera: Because Freddy's a pharmacist, not a botanist.

4. Larry Laffer: Because Valanice would forfeit the match just to stay at least 50 yards away from Larry.

5. Princess Rosella: Because nostalgia is somehow beating out my preference for redheads.

6. April Ryan: Because I'm rooting for another cat-fight with Rosella in the third tier.

7. Gabriel Knight: Because his talisman's better than Adrienne's.

8. Simon the Sorceror: Because he doesn't have a weight limit, thanks to his amazing bottomless hat.

[MusicallyInspired]

1- Ben
2- Alex
3- Freddy
4- Valanice
5- Rosella (very touch choice, but Laura is just a little too...whiny or ditsy or something. Either way, Rosella is more of a stronger character)
6- Roger Wilco
7- Gabriel Knight
8- Prince of Shapeir

[Jules]

This is hard! I need to think about this.

*think*

1. George Stobbart because I never played Full Throttle

2. Prince Alexander (Sorry Adam!)

3. Freddy Pharkas for sure!

4. Larry Laffer because only Larry can get himself into a garbage dump where Valanice can't move her body two inches closer to the pool to reach the darn moon cheese.

5. This is like torture! Ahhh! I will have to go with Laura Bow. (Rosella would be very very very close behind!)

6. Roger Wilco of course!

7. Gabriel Knight

8. The Prince of Shapeir of course!

[Tawmis]

1. None.
2. Prince Alexander
3. Freddy Pharkas
4. Larry Laffer
5. Laura Bow
6. April Ryan
7. Gabriel Knight
8. The Prince of Shapeir

[DeadPoolX]

Maia's video card kicked the bucket, so she can't use her computer (at least not in any reasonable capacity).

Here's who Maia voted for:

1. Neither (she hasn't played either character)
2. Alexander
3. Manny
4. Larry (she said that Valenice has virtually no personality)
5. Laura (she said it was a tough decision, but Laura won due to the 1920s setting)
6. April
7. Gabriel
8. Prince of Shapeir

[Collector]

George Stobbart because I never played Full Throttle

You owe it to yourself to play it soon. I didn't think that a game about bikers would appeal to me, but I found it to be was one of the more fun games that I've played.

5. This is like torture! Ahhh! I will have to go with Laura Bow. (Rosella would be very very very close behind!)

I knew this one would be a tough one for you.

[Jules]

You know me too well, Collector. I will have to put Full Throttle on my list.

[DeadPoolX]

I keep hearing the Mortal Kombat announcer during these polls: "Laura Bow versus Rosella -- FIGHT!"
