Kevin's Watch

I voted 4 Joyce--2 tricky 4 his own good--screwed Nyle, 2 many--possibly--unnescessary sacrifies! (I really like Barsonage--I just threw that in 2 throw y'all off..)--please xplain y! If I left some1 out please list!

This is a hard question, there was no character I really disliked. There is one that I would add to the list though, and that is Saddith. Her attitude about how to get ahead in life really infuriated me.

Yes Saddith--I just put her on the poll

I agree .. the way SRD writes his characters .. not many are pure evil .. there is often something you can find amusing or likeable even though they are involved in the worst types of activity .. that whole grey-black thing he has going .. and sometimes grey-black-almost white thing!

I really didnt like Joyse .. I thought he was irresponsible .. though clearly well meaning. He abandoned so many people who yet believed in him .. his wife and other daughter .. as danlo said Nyle .. but also and imo moreso Lebbick and the rest of his community. Maybe his methods could have worked well .. but the truth of the matter is that they just didnt.

I voted for saddith .. but I didnt like Gilbur either .. and Vagel was a nobody imo. A real no-show antagonist .. like Foul in some ways! All we heard about was the dreaded Vagel .. but Gilbur and Eremis were far more of a threat than him ..

Terisa was a little irritating too .. as was Nyle .. both seemed particularly half-cocked .

Well .. I am done!

Eremis. Such pond scum. Eww. Altho Gilbur was more of a Central Casting-type bad guy.

...well, except for King Joyse and Nyle. While I didn't approve of Joyse's methods, I liked him as a character. And I sort of felt sorry for Nyle - he was just weak and let himself fall into some bad choices.

I voted for the Armigite - he was nothing but a dirty, yellow wimp.

The others all had their evil points but they did add interest to the story.

And I whole heartedly agree with the disapproval of Saddith's idea of how to get ahead in life - sleep your way to the top, so to speak.

The second I put the Armigite up there I wanted 2 vote 4 him 2!!!

So many good choices!

Eremis & Gilbur are slimmy & slimmier but at least Gilbur didn't try to pretend he was something that he wasn't .....so I voted for Eremis.

Saddith came up a close third though.....if for no other reason than she pretended to befriend Terisa's all while she was betraying her ~ a real despicable trait in my opinion.

Armigite, I had no respect for him, & he never got a thought past that.

Elega & Nyle, they were both just a little too ambitious for my taste, but by no means I hope a rock drops on them evil.

As for the other bad guy's, they may have been just as bad or worse, but they were so far removed that they just didn't invoke any emotion on my part.......

You never really thought Saddith was Terisa's friend, did you??!!

She was phony from the beginning. And I don't believe Terisa was particularly taken in by her either, to tell you the truth.

~MsMary~

Nooooo, she wasn't that good......it's the fact that she tried that bothered me, whether or not she succeeded is irrelavent......

I voted for Master Gilbur. I think he's scum, but much less interesting scum than, say, Master Eremis. It wasn't an easy choice though.

I voted for Master Gilbur too, for the same reason as Nerdanel: he was scum, and not only that, he was uninteresting scum.

~Foamy~

Gilbur got my vote too. He seemed just downright mean and twisted. Earmis was bad but he was motivated. He had purpose and reason. Gilbur was just mean for meanness sake. I know, I know, he was burried alive and that can cause anyone to be mean/hateful but it just wasn't enough. He is probably more of a "token" character and maybe that's why I don't like him. There is just not much substance there.

I voted for Eremis, for some reason he just makes my skin crawl.

Master Eremis makes my skin crawl.

Eremis is definitely evil, but he does add intrigue to the story.

~MsMary~

Oh, he definately does! But there's just something about him that creeps me out...

did I mention Master Gilbur? Well, I will again! (sung ala Rick James) SUPER CREEP, SUPER CREEP!

I will go along with that! He is creepy, too!

For some reason I have always intensely disliked Castellan Lebbick.
