I'm sleep deprived, almost drunk and worried sick about
@Kyleran. So I thought it's time for a fun post. Well, it sounds fun in my head at least. I might find it extremely silly when I am almost sober, and you might find it utterly trash. But here it goes... a fun post!
You're forming a group, a fellowship, to clear a horrible horrible dungeon. It's going to be a long, hard, dramatic, traumatic run.
The party needs
a Tank, a Healer, a DPS, a CC, and a Support. Of course, you yourself can take any of the roles you want. But, to fill the rest of the group, I am giving you the
ultimate dungeon finder tool. You can cast in any famous person you want, for any role you want.
You have to name four celebrities, famous people, or anyone with a Wikipedia page, but it needs to be a person, a human being. Assign them to a role and state your reasons why they would be proper for the job.
Now to make it more interesting...
The top 3 answers would receive a Steam gift card valued at $50, $25 and $10. Talk about being almost drunk, eh? But hey, I promise ya I'd stay true to my word.
Rules of the competition: #1 You do not talk about this contest!
#2 You do not... talk about this... contest!!
#3 If you are participating, you have to have at least 100 posts on these forums.
#4 Each participant is allowed only one post
#5 You can use duplicates from previous posts, but you have to have a VERY different reason for it.
#6 You cannot edit your post.
Jury Members: - Me, of course
- Any of the +rare members--Judges cannot participate in the contest though.
- Any of the site's staff-again, if you become a judge, then you cannot participate.
Winners will be announced after the upcoming weekend.
I'm also willing to send the Steam codes to one of the staff, so you'd know I am true to my word!
Go!!!
PS. I'm not sure if I'm breaking any rules here. My apologies in advanced if I did.
Comments
Healer: Felicia Day - she's quite funny, so she'd lift your spirits. She's a big old geek and a big fan of MMOs, so she'd be pretty good at the game so you'd have a reliable healer. I also think that she'd occasionally let Mel die, just for fun, and that would keep me amused.
DPS: Alexander Lugwig - he's quite young so hopefully picks up gaming easily. He was awesome in Vikings so has first hand experience of sword fighting. I would hope he has the presence of mind to keep raid awareness and not just charge about.
CC: Christoph Waltz - dude is just funny, seems quite wise so I would hope he would make a good CC'er. Would keep us entertained in between mezzes!
Support: Me - this is my favourite role in MMOs anyway
Backup plan:
Tank - Lucy Lawless
Healer - Emma Watson
DPS - Scarlett Johanson
CC - Charlize Theron
Support - Me
Because, well, we're living in a fantasy here, may as well use the opportunity to flirt with some good looking rich women in a vain attempt to become a kept man!
I stand by my word though, winners will receive the promised prizes. But only 2 entrants so far? You know you can use your imagination for other stuff besides conspiracy theories, eh?
Healer - me, that's my first and main role
Tank - Floyd Mayweather. C'mon, that dude is literally the living example of an Evade/Parry tank (even if almost killed boxing with that style)
Dps - Chuck Norris. 'nuff said.
CC - Harry Houdini. He could easily draw the attention of any crowd, breaking their induction. Could shock (stun) them too. And as a bonus, his chains. Nobody would cc break from those chains
Support - Jamie Oliver. He's a helpful guy on general, plus he could buff the party with nice food. May have some hidden talents for debuff too (just ask PETA )
edit: just because you said no edits seriously though, I don't touch steamy gabe's stuff, so pick someone better for the gift cards, I wouldn't use it anyways
Awesome pick! Never thought I'll see ToT mentioned here Aégis was my favourite album from those years... but then an another Theater released Metropolis Pt. 2 and I became unfaithful to Poppea and the rest of the ladies.
(Lorelei and Cassandra were great songs too)
Tank - Chuck Norris, not only would he make a good leader, he'd tank anything and everything. Are we fighting Diablo in Diablo 3? No problem, Diablo couldn't even scratch Chuck Norris. Are we fighting the Terminator? No problem, even the Terminator is afraid of Chuck norris. Not only that, but he could solo EVERYTHING and be an unstoppable juggernut. Everyone else is just along for the ride. His race would be BadAss, and only he can be that race. For class, he'd be Immortal, since he can never die or be killed or even be hurt
Healer - Myself, I prefer healing in MMOs and its my favorite role. Though I'd probably be the comedic healer with one liners and slapstick puns and overused memes. I'd also be the Troll race because I love trolling trolling trolling. For class? I'd be the troll class, so I would be Troll Troll
Crowd Control - Angelina Jolie. Why? Well she is one of the most bad ass famous woman out there. She takes shit from no one. I can definitely imagine her being great at controlling crowds, and hopefully she'd be good at it, which I'd have no doubt. Her race would be Reptilian (but she is always disguised as a Human), and her class would be Scientologist
Support - Will Smith. Why? Well I think he'd be the guy who'd be great at keeping morale up, keeping people entertained. He'd be able to talk opponents down, but also make the group laugh (hence morale up/entertained). He'd also act as a diplomat/charismatic guy, since he is actually a very friendly guy who is a great family man and instantly likable. His race would be Human, I know not most creative but most fitting, and his class would be Secret Agent, or otherwise known to those close to him, Man in Black
(edit: Added a tiny thing with the CC person. It will be only thing I change/add. I meant to include it but forgot, but I did see the rule about not editing the post)

Healer: Myself: I'm a healthcare professional that is posting on this site instead of seeing patients. I ain't healing nothing at this time.
DPS: Kanye West: He would think himself the best and most important asset on the team regardless of the validity. He will assume no one deserves credit except for him.
CC: Donald Trump: He always controls the biggest crowds and lets everyone know how big the crowd is. He is the best crowd controller ever, the crowd is yuge. Look at the crowd!!
Support: Nicholas Cage: He is not good enough to support any movie at this time. Hence, he will not be able to support this group either.
Cryomatrix
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Tank - The man himself Butterbean (Eric Esch) Good at taking hits, and good at giving them. Has a high knockout ratio so he would be pretty good at stun locking the enemy. Due to his sheer size he would be great to just stand behind whilst he soaks damage. Lets face it, this guy would look glorious in plate
BOOSH
Healer - The current (14th)Dalai Lama, the guy is zen embodied. I can imagine him giving out some epic spiritual healing and keeping the peace. Plus if anyone is going to be able to conjure up a defence bubble, it's this guy. Bet he can levitate too.
DPS - I have to go with good old Iron Mike Tyson (in his prime, somewhat even now though). Pure savage, stick some claws on the guy and you have real life Wolverine. The guy loves fighting, don't think he is scared of doing it, in fact I think an outlet for all of his rage would be perfect. Hopefully the presence of the Dalai Lama can help keep him calm when needed.
CC - Vladimir Putin, Toss up between him and Kim. Both are good at controlling people, but Vlad has that extra bit of asskickery built in to boot. Ex KGB so he knows how to subdue a dude.
Support - Dej Loaf, Raps to take care of her fam. Played basketball so knows how to play in a team. Studied nursing for three semesters so knows how to support when needed. She is also a total badass...try her....

Ok this should be fun. What a great idea for a thread, even if there wasn’t a prize involved.
Tank: Dwayne Johnson. He can dish it out, but he can also take the beating. Stoneskin tank… get it, because hes The Rock.
Healer: The Pope. Because, well duh, hes the Pope. Best Cleric worldwide.
DPS: Me (mage dps, not melee or ranged) because Im a Mother F***ing Sorcerer.
CC: Chris Angel (or alt. David Blaine) Illusionists are the best CC. Dazzle the crowd and they are rooted and confused.
Support: William Shakespeare, because I always think Bard is great support.
He can literally hold aggro
Rasputin as Healer
Almost impossible to kill
Bruce Lee as DPS
The king of Badass
Pepe Le Pew for Crowd Control
Pepe needs no introduction, he can clear a room solo
Mini Me for Support
Worked for Dr Evil
"Be water my friend" - Bruce Lee
Lois as healer, Consuela as backup
Stewie as caster with his ray gun
Chris and Brian as DPS
Meg, well kick her out of the group, and add Glenn Quagmire if he is still online !
Maybe keep meg, she's a good fighter

You know @Gdemami lols at every post, and I remember he once wrote "I give lols at posts that make me laugh for real--something like that". Let's see if you can make us laugh now, well, in a good way.
How about @BillMurphy, you've always been a good sport. @SBFord, I know you want to!
Maybe even some celebrities.. @MarkJacobs we'd love to see your list!
Maybe the staff don't want to win anything on their own site, or Mr. Jacobs is too busy to participate in a silly contest for a Steam gift card. That's right.
I tell you what. If any of the fine staff of mmorpg.com, or Mr. Jacobs, ended up among the top, I'd make a donation to Hurricane Harvey's victims through Red Cross (or any other cause of your choosing but has to be a legit charity) under your name for the amount of $100 and will send you the receipt. I know that ain't much, but what do you expect from a random stranger on the forums?
Maybe some good can come out of a silly thread (and me being drunk) for once.
Go!!
PS. Again, if I have broken any rules--I do apologize.
Tank = @TheScavenger because no matter how many people trash or flame his threads he just keeps on posting.
Healer = @MikeB because he just sits back and watches the melee unfold, and you never want your healer in the center of the action.
DPS = @Blorpykins if he put even half the effort into trashing our enemies as he does trashing SOTA they would stand a chance.
CC = @SBFord with the powerful CCs of "Lock Thread" and "Ban User"
Support = @Gdemami. We could give him an ability called "LoL" that raises allied defense and lowers enemy defense and he'd have no trouble keeping it constantly applied to everyone.
Or maybe not ('cos mixing up the end). Peter was the tank, Lois the healer, Stewie the ranged dps, Chris and Meg the melee dps, Brian the support.
Fun times...
