Summer Tribe Award: Fantasy Fight!

Breaking down the Summer 2009 "Tribe Awards" presented to KTDARPG players by the votes of their fellow players, with tributes to the show that continues to inspire us!

Category: Fantasy Fight

Winner: Nicola v. Villa

Runner Up: Hawk v. Urick

All right, gotta admit, some of the greatest scenes in The Tribe were when kids decided to stand up for themselves & fight. Usually we were focused on the Mallrats. Mallrats versus Tribe Circus. Mallrats versus the Chosen. Mallrats versus the Technos.

Because the show gave you all the visuals, you didn't have to imagine the action the way we do in a text-based rpg.

We've imagined some great ones! Fort River vs. the Brotherhood. Birds of Prey vs. the Anti-kids. Ok, so you had to be there. Take my word for it. If those scenes were videotaped, they would be riveting!

We asked our players to tell us who they'd like to see mix it up. There were quite a few suggestions. Here are the top 2.

Nicola v. Villa

Oh, boy. Ok, guys, don't you think this would be just a little one-sided? I mean, we've seen Villa in action many times. Against men or women, this girl is hot. Probably because she's just plain crazy, all the usual inhibitions are gone. Villa goes all out. It's like she's playing a game and having the best time of her life! Nicola is new in town, so she's untested. Sure she has a great rep and seems like she knows how to handle herself, but... Come on, Villa? Just my opinion, of course, but Nicola would get murdered! Who knows, maybe one day we'll find out.

Hawk v. Urick

All right, this one is just weird. We have 2 strengths going--one light, one dark. There are also 2 loyalties. Hawk has built her reputation & showed her expertise for a lot of years in-game. This Bird of Prey is a hero of 2 wars and a force of nature. She's served as tribe leader of the River Rats & stands strong for justice, fair play & protecting the weak. Urick? Oh, he's definitely a force of nature. Like a hurricane. Or an earthquake. His loyalties are first to Tristan, second (we think?) to Blasko & The 100. This man is a maniac barely--just barely--leashed. If he and Hawk squared off? Damn...I coudn't call this one.

Hehe... I think my game-mates just have sick fantasies.
