Can this thread please be stickied?

O.K., I'm starting this thread to give the community an "official" general idea of each character's skill with a lightsaber. There can be variances of each character represented (ie; Vader presuit/Vader suited). Anyone who wants to, can join in, if you don't want to, please keep your comments to yourself. Here's how the rating system will go...

Each character gets 10 votes (1 vote per person) on a scale of 1-20, 1 being the lowest, 20 being the greatest or tied for the greatest duelist ever. The lowest vote for each character will be thrown out. When 10 votes have been accumulated, I or someone can total the votes and come up with an average, that number will be the "official" lightsaber skill rating for that particular character. If you are not a part of the 10 votes for a particular person, sorry tough luck. When one character is finished, "the first person" to mention a new character will take precedence, and that will be the next character to be rated. Here is an example of how the process will go...


Barriss Offee

Votes: 6, 7, 5, 4, 6, 9, 8, 7, 6, 8,

So here the low vote is 4, so that would be thrown out, the remaining 9 numbers would be totaled for an average. In this case...

Barriss Offee: Official Rating: 6.8

O.K., that was just an example, remember please try to keep all your biased thoughts in check, and give each character their full due.

First Candidate: Shaak Ti

All you have to do is put down a number, I'll start.

Shaak Ti: 14

Please keep your comments to yourself, if you want to "actually" participate in the thread fine, just don't be a troll.

problem. we can't do this one at a time. We have nothing to base our numbers off of.

This will end badly. We will want to change our votes just a few characters in,when ridiculous fallacy's happen.

Yeah this looks to be based on feeling and ideas. A canonical gauge is needed.

Base your numbers off who you think has the best lightsaber skills ever (that person being a 20). If in your mind that person is a 20, you should be able to give a value to someone else, based on how much worse you think they are in the grand scheme of things.

The problem with that is it takes way too long. Most people here have a pretty good grasp of what each character has done anyway.

What I envisioned, was that there wouldn't even be any debating in this thread (thus no agreeing or disagreeing), each person would just put down a number and move on. Maybe that was wishful thinking.

Thank you for your vote, have a nice day.hi2

Shaak Ti: 8-1=7.

Ive been thinking about this, and I think I'll throw out the low vote as well as the high vote, it just makes sense.

15

Why the hell's everyone giving her such a low score? Shes at least a 12. I'd give her 14, like the other two.

Can't we have the same characters in both the Force Power and this thread?

Shaak Ti: 13 No because thats real logic, and this forums only full of TCW logic.

hmmm, just thought of something, are these always assumed to be their most skilled/powerful incantations.

Yes, unless some other incarnation is brought to light. In the case of multiple incarnations, (ie; Vader presuit/Vader suited/AOTC Anakin/ROTS Anakin/Anakin (aboard invisible hand), the version being represented needs to be specified, as each has their own skill level.

I just put a different character in the other thread to mix it up a little. Once Luminara is done in the "Force Rating" thread, any character can be picked.

All who want the scale changed to 1-50 say I. Three "I's" in the next 5 posts will change it, other wise it stays the same. Remember if this is done we will have to start over. Edit: If I post it doesn't count as one of the five posts.

Because people's actions =/= their words.

I didn't respond to his "make me" attempt at starting a fire

Fixed.

Originally posted by wolfpack86
I didn't respond to his "make me" attempt at starting a fire oh, but you did. You attempted to make me by saying you didn't have to make me, thus paradoxializing your statement that you didn't have to make me.

Plus, if a response is not required, you can still post a response, which you did. You fed the troll; you lose.
