The Second Great Ritual of Voting: You Can't Hit "Snooze" With A Tentacle

By Jedit2, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

And yea, in the midnight hour did the second part of the Great Ritual of Voting did begin. For the Great Old Ones (and some Not-So-Great Old Ones who had merely attended the party for the free booze) had begun to stir, and must now be banished to the realms of extradimensional tentacular evil from whence they came...

As before, this isn't about voting for the GOO you can beat or the GOO who always beats you. It's about voting for your favourite GOO - the one you'd most like to devour your soul with excruciating slowness over a thousand years.

A quick reminder of the rules, then let the banishment commence!

The Rules of Voting:

1) Each Ancient One starts with 10 Doom tokens.

2) Voters must hurt exactly two Ancient Ones, and may if they wish heal one other Ancient One.

2a) When there are eight or fewer Ancient Ones remaining, this changes to one hurt per vote and no heals.

2b) An Ancient One with 10 Doom tokens cannot be healed - they're not hurt!

2c) No, Cthulhu does not regenerate one Doom token every day.

3) Voters may vote no more than once every 24 hours.

I'll go first, as per usual.

Hurt: Chaugnar Faugn, because Final Battles should be winnable if you're not Azathoth.

Hurt: Cthulhu. O RLY? IA, R'LYEH!

Heal Glaaki: No one gives a false sense of security, and then kicks your butt, like the big G.

Hurt Yig: Too short doom track, too easy to beat in final combat.

Hurt Ithaqua: Same as Yig.

Last Vote: Renderfalls

Hurt: Yig - same reason as Renderfalls
Hurt: Atla Nacha - making one of the win conditions harder is fine. making it near impossible, leaving the other non-final-battle option an already near impossible win (especially for smaller teams) is just annoying. Especially since I don't think Final Battles should ever be the answer.
Heal: None for now. I'll wait til I see how this plays out for a day or so before I start healing any.

Hurt:Quachil Uttaus. Dust deck is fun and nice, but that final combat (even though I've not yet faced him in it ironically enough) is just bleeping bonkers.

Heal: Azathoth. You gotta respect a guy/thing that can destroy EVERYTHING by just waking up.

Hurt: Yig. Simply because he was my first enemy.

Last vote: Gildor

Hurt: Yog-Sothoth probably the hardest base-game GOO.well, I like difficult ines, but Yog is just frustrating.

Hurt: Y'Golonac- He could have been a very nice GOO, but I really don't like the way he has been developed.

Heal: hastur- he's easy as hell, but I hust HAD TO heal him at least once. he's the King in Yellow after all gran_risa.gif

Also, Syphon only hurt one, hurting 2 is a must, healing 1 is optional.

Hurt: Shub-Niggurath - we always seem to get the Terrible Experiment coming up in the first few turns with this one

Hurt: Shudde M'ell - the rubble tokens are a nice idea but it doesn't work too well with the amount of monster surges we get.

Heal: None this time
