Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Legion: Battle of the Sexes

ROUND 6
LOCATION: The plantations of Winath.
OBJECTIVE: Hope your uniforms are neatly pressed, Legionnaires. Today, all heroes will be brushing up their people skills as they become solicitors for McCauley Industries selling their robo-vacuum system to the domesticated Winath! Our Legionnaires have to be confident, possess good speaking skills, and boast the go-getter attitude to not take no for an answer. Charisma is a plus, but so is perseverance! The Legion lady and gentlemen with the highest number of sales will take first.

The Female Contenders: Saturn Girl, Apparition, Triad, Spark, Kinetix, Violet, Umbra, Kid Quantum II, and Dreamer.

The Male Contenders: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Brainiac 5, Star Boy, M'Onel, Karate Kid, and Gear.

So, rank the Legion gals and then the Legion guys from who you think could impress the people to make some sales to whom could never get past a slammed shut entry portal! Round 6 will end on Saturday, September 25th.

ooh, I like this one. Hmm...

the girls:

1) Triad (easy. She's got the experience and the gift of the gab too)
2) Dreamer
3) Kinetix
4) Spark
5) Umbra (yeah, I know, but I reckon she'd *scare* people into buying so she'd still have pretty good sales)
6) Kid Quantum II
7) Apparition
8) Violet (shy, but probably quite persuasive)
9) Saturn Girl (aww, come on, without her powers people would just want to slap her.)

and the boys:

1) Star Boy (he's quite the charmer, and could turn it on for the boys and the girls)
2) Chameleon (ditto)
3) Live Wire
4) Inivisble Kid
5) Cosmic Boy
6) Braniac 5 (like Violet or Umbra he's not the most socially adept but he'd also argue terribly persuasivly or people would buy to shut him up about the technical aspects of what he's selling)
7) Karate Kid
8) Gear
9) M'onel (I dunno, I just don't see him being very good at this one).

Like your reasonings, Bevis.

Ladies:
1. Kid Quantum II (I don't know why; I see her doing well)
2. Triad
3. Spark (Sells to friends)
4. Apparition (Ever the diplomat)
5. Dreamer
6. Kinetix
7. Saturn Girl
8. Umbra
9. Violet

Gents:
1. Chameleon
2. Live Wire (Homeland experience...sell to friends)
3. Cosmic Boy
4. Star Boy
5. Brainiac 5
6. Invisible Kid
7. M'Onel
8. Karate Kid
9. Gear (Would get too technical for people)

La Femmes ~
01. Triad - with 3 personalites, she's bound to appeal to a greater majority
02. Dreamer - indomitable will, persuasive, charming, & sex appeal
03. Spark - knows how to work the rubes
04. Kinetix - gets by on her cuteness assuming she's not in terrorform
05. Umbra - uses intimidation
06. Violet - still working on overcoming that inherent shyness
07. Kid Quantum II - sells a few
08. Apparition - her snobbishness gets in the way of her game here
09. Saturn Girl - assuming she doesn't use her shameless hussy power, ol' iron butt stinks at this!

L'Hommes ~
01. Live Wire - Works the rubes and he's charming and persuasive
02. Star Boy - Little old ladies love him and men feel superior to him
03. Cosmic Boy - does pretty well
04. Brainiac 5 - spotlights the product and knows it well but his personality hurts his total sales
05. Invisible Kid - espionage skills parlay into powers of persuasion
06. M'Onel - I don't care what era we're in, Lar will always be Bob Cobb, traveling salesman to me! Too bad he wasn't better at it.
07. Karate Kid - goes Zen and doesn't ask why he's doing this task - he just does it
08. Chameleon - It'd be nice to see early reboot Cham do this with his bad accent - still I can't picture him excelling at this
09. Gear - This iron butt can't shift gears quick enough to fast talk, much less double talk

Might I suggest that Cosmic Boy & Kid Quantum's relationship hits the rocks when Cos catches her in a steamy embrace with #7...

Unless we aren't doing that anymore

Ladies:
1. Spark (has homefield advantage & a very outgoing persoanlity)
2. Triad (experienced in business)
3. Kinetix (very outgoing)
4. Apparition
5. Dreamer
6. Umbra
7. Violet
8. Kid Quantum II
9. Saturn Girl (ugh! Can't see here doing well at this at all)

Gents:
1. M'Onel (not much difference in door to door sales whether it's brushes or vacuum cleaners! Experience wins out!)
2. Live Wire (Has homefield advantage)
3. Cosmic Boy
4. Star Boy
5. Invisible Kid
6. Karate Kid
7. Chameleon
8. Brainiac 5
9. Gear (Would rather take it apart and improve it)

I *knew* I forgot something! Probably should do one to see who Apparition will hook up with Jo gone.

Bartholomew J. Bumperton

The Male Contenders: Brainiac 5, Star Boy, Karate Kid, and Gear.

Gals:
1. Spark (home court advantage plus generally friendly personality)
2. Kinetix (friendly and outgoing)

4. Kid Quantum II (very determined and has some people skills)
5. Dreamer
6. Apparition
7. Violet (not as shy as she used to be)
8. Umbra (scary...)
9. Saturn Girl (what people skills?)

1. Live Wire (home court advantage)
2. Cosmic Boy (charisma)

ROUND 6 is over! We had some interesting point-getters, but the bottom tier stayed pretty much the same.

01. 277 pts - Triad
02. 254 pts - Dreamer
03. 235 pts - Violet
04. 232 pts - Saturn Girl
05. 220 pts - Umbra
06. 199 pts - Apparition
07. 197 pts - Kinetix

05. 236 pts - Chameleon
06. 198 pts - Live Wire
07. 192 pts - Brainiac 5
08. 187 pts - Gear
09. 169 pts - Star Boy

Triad and Invisible Kid hold onto their leads...just as Kid Quantum II and Star Boy keep to their lowest ranked status. It's a tearful Xanthian good-bye as they say farewell.

"I did my best, that's all I can do. See you at home, Nura! Guys, good luck! Bring back a gold medal for me."

ROUND 7
LOCATION: The rail-highways of Metropolis
OBJECTIVE: It's a race! Each Legionnaire gets taken to the rail-highway docking station in Metropolis. They find the transport tubes sealed off and 16 beautiful cruisers with each Legionnaire's name on one awaiting the team. Simple enough, each Legionnaire has their own grav-cruiser to race in a three mile dash for a finish line. With civilians cleared out, it's up to whoever has the best speed and handling of their cars to win in the galaxy's grooviest drag race! The lads will race first, then the lasses.

The Male Contenders: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Brainiac 5, M'Onel, Karate Kid, and Gear.

The Female Contenders: Saturn Girl, Apparition, Triad, Spark, Kinetix, Violet, Umbra, and Dreamer.

Also! With Kid Q and Star Boy gone, Cosmic Boy and Dreamer have picked up some flirtatious vibes from other Legionnaires. Pick two numbers between 1 & 8, one for the gents and one for the ladies, so we can average out just WHO Cos and Dreamer are already becoming more buddy-buddy with!

Double also! To make things interesting and make it possible to change ranks still, points have DOUBLED. First will now receive 16 points and the lowest score will receive 2. We'll continue this way until we have our final six to compete in the last showdown!

So, rank the Legion guys and then the Legion girls from who you think will win the grav-car race to who is just spinning their non-existant wheels! Round 7 will end on Tuesday, September 28th.

Gals:
1. Kinetix (she just seems like one of those energetic drivers to me)
2. Saturn Girl (she must've picked up some skills in her SP training)
3. Umbra
4. Apparition
5. Violet
6. Triad
7. Spark
8. Dreamer

Guys:
1. Live Wire (his personality just seems to fit the type who'd do well in a race)
2. M'Onel (he was a space explorer before being dumped into the phantom zone, right?)
3. Brainiac 5 (would be comfortable around machines)
4. Cosmic Boy
5. Invisible Kid
6. Chameleon (came from a primitive world but he must've learned a lot during his time with the Legion)
7. Gear
8. Karate Kid (doesn't seem to be very used to machines. He's very adaptable, but...)

(edited to add the powers plus a bit of rearrangement in the list )
Numbers: 4 for the guys, 2 for the girls

the girls:

1) Umbra
2) Kinetix
3) Saturn Girl (IBs reasoning about her SP training makes a lot of sense)

and the boys:

1) Invisible Kid
2) Braniac 5
3) Cosmic Boy

05. Karate Kid
06. Brainiac 5

04. Triad (all of the above)
05. Dreamer (gutsy)
06. Spark
07. Apparition (she's definitely joyrided before)

Guys:
01. Live Wire (With Jo & Brin gone, he's probably Mr. Road Rage of the guys)
02. Cosmic Boy
03. Gear
04. Invisible Kid (More the spy on foot than behind the wheel)
05. M'Onel
06. Brainiac 5 (Calculated his way to first, but was sideswiped by others)
07. Karate Kid
08. Chameleon (Likely to pull one too many pranks that leave him stalled)

08. 227 pts - Gear

Triad breaks away from the others while Invisible Kid barely holds to his lead. Another round means two more Legionnaires have to say good-bye: Apparition & Gear!

"I'm honored I made it this far. Good luck everyone and please do watch after Ayla for me."



Interesting couples this time. Who knew?

ROUND 8
LOCATION: Cargg's Tri-Continent Rodeo
OBJECTIVE: Grab your space-spurs, Legionnaires! It's time to take a trip to Triad's homeworld for the annual Tri-Continent Rodeo. The Legionnaires have been invited to participate in the bucking robo-bronco competition, to see which Legionnaire can stay saddled on the mad animal the longest AND to entertain the crowds! First place will be awarded to the guy and girl who can hold onto the bronco the longest and remain seated without touching the ground.

So, rank the Legion guys and then the Legion girls from who you think can stay on the bucking robo-animal the longest to who's going to get kicked off right away! Round 8 will end on Friday, Octboer 1st.

the boys:

1) Karate Kid (I think his training gives him the edge again on this one)
2) M'Onel
3) Live Wire (he's a farm boy, he's bound to have done something similar in the past)
4) Cosmic Boy
5) Braniac 5 (I just think his tenacity might work in his favour)
6) Invisible Kid
7) Chameleon

and the girls:

1) Kinetix (she'd love this one, and probably be damn good too)
2) Umbra (training, tenacity and all that)

Triad's still at the helm with first as Cosmic Boy takes the lead for the gents. We've got a tie for lowest ranked femme! I've decided to go back and eliminate the Legionnaire who was ranked lowest the previous round...which means today we bid farewell to Spark and Brainiac 5!

I cannot believe how much time I've wasted on these pointless gender games. I'll gladly repair to my lab, thank you very much.

ROUND 9
LOCATION: Super Daxamite Gym...of Space!
OBJECTIVE: Another quick, but perhaps decisive physical activity. A personal trainer at the Daxamite gym satellite around the planet hands each of the Legionnaire's an ancient device known as a "jump rope." After a long explanation and countless questions, the heroes discover how to work the contraption. The next challenge is simple...see who can jump rope the longest without tripping up. The instant you step on the rope or stop, you're out!

The Male Contenders: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, M'Onel, and Karate Kid.

The Female Contenders: Saturn Girl, Triad, Kinetix, Violet, Umbra, and Dreamer.

So, rank the Legion guys and then the Legion girls from who you think can skip to their own beat to who's about to trip and faceplant into the ground! Round 9 will end on Monday, October 4th.

Gals:
1. Umbra (great coordination and balance)
2. Kinetix (all those archeological digs have given her a great sense of balance plus she's really energetic)

4. Violet (great at hand-to-hand)
5. Saturn Girl
6. Dreamer

Guys:
1. Karate Kid
2. Invisible Kid
3. Cosmic Boy
