When is the next cage fight starting?

Can I make a suggestion for this years Cage Match (which should be in a few months I think)?

How about a “Mentors” or “Masters” type competition. A cage match that is made up solely of the really powerful characters from these universes. Gandalf. Dumbledore. Lews Therin. Merlin. The Merlin from the Dresden Files (or Ebenezer McCoy). Etc.

Or is there a better place to put this idea? I guess I should look around the site…

Anyway, thanks. It’s always fun.

I discovered these cage matches this year, and have been fun reading through the old ones. Can’t wait for the 2013 match so I can actually participate.

It’s not possible for characters to be entered again, is it? If so, I’d love to see Caine again (if for no other reason than Stover’s write ups), but I’d understand not wanting to enter a character in two years in a row… maybe Berne or Ma’el Koth from the same series? Ma’el Koth is essentially a god, but Suvudu seems to enter quite a few god like characters.

I’d really like to see Locke Lamora get a fair shot, too, though he was in the 2010 match apparently. I really enjoy WOT, but I also like the idea of giving it a break for a year. But if it must be included, I say Mat. Lan would work too, but he would just sort of function as a highly skilled swordsman. Mat being immune to magic (One Power, but in my mind it would apply to most forms of magic). ASOIAF also has that danger of winning on popularity alone, though if we get a character from that series, I’d nominate Dany with her three dragons: would certainly be different. Khal Drogo maybe, but I don’t see him having much chance against most magic users. Arthur Dayne, but same issue, and we know so little about him.

That’s pretty much all I’ve got at the moment (new fantasy reader).

Blah, Blah, Blah… that’s already been addressed. Apparently, nobody on this site plays any cool sports… trash talk is part of the game kiddo. If you can’t hang, then get better or go home. If you don’t like it, then establish a broader voting base and make it a competition. Don’t hate the playa, hate the game!

For Mat, imagine Zaphod’s luck, plus Tyrion’s popularity, plus Kylar’s anti magic abilities, and then throw in being an expert fighter and general while you’re at it. It really just wouldn’t be fair that the biggest fandom would have their most popular character, who also happens to be extremely capable without a giant fandom behind him.

@WoT4Ever
I’m pretty sure you know that nobody here is appreciating you boasting about another victory by WoT. I know that your last post was like half a month ago, but still. Just because WoT won again doesn’t mean you should rub it in everyone’s faces. WoT is a good series, but that doesn’t mean its the only good series out there and that everyone else should just vote for it. I’m pretty sure that Robert Jordan wouldn’t appreciate it if you gave all his fans a bad reputation. Assuming you’re an actual fan, I’m sure you’ve seen the comments made by other WoT fans expressing that they don’t appreciate it either.

And in case anyone else is wondering, yes, I used NAT4Ever just to provoke him/her. Why? Partly so he/she reads this comment, and partly because I’m a jerk

Next year they should have:
-Durzo Blint (NAT)
-Szeth son-son-Vallano (or something like that)
-Lan Mandragoran (if we still need another WoT character)
And NOT Mat.
If Mat were put in, it would be a pretty entertaining writeup, but I’d like to see some more winners. It’s not that I’m saying WoT is a bad series, but I think they’ve had enough champions.
Oh, yeah, one more thing.

Just because your favourite book series won (assuming you’re an actual fan) doesn’t mean you should rub it in everyone’s faces. WoT is a pretty good series, but I’m pretty sure Robert Jordan wouldn’t appreciate people giving his fans a bad reputation. I’m sure you’ve read the comments of other WoT fans, and you know that they’re not appreciating it. So are you an actual fan, or are you just an internet troll?

A reference to Griffin’s War, the third book. No major spoilers here.

“No need to call the guards, they’ve taken ill. It’s a rather bad case of being dead. It seems I’m contagius.”

Might have gotten it a bit wrong, but that’s basically the quote.
