Most of you guys did you best at picking your CC. Just plain awesome choices.
If you want to participate, you got about 48 more hours.
Also would be nice if we get a couple of volunteers on jury duty.

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.

"once upon a midnight dreary, while i porn surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, "give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404."
Not to be a spoil sport but, can fictional characters be used I.e game of thrones characters and others listed. I understood the original rules to mean REAL people not fictional otherwise my team would be much, much different.
Sorry for the two posts, no idea what I did on my phone!

Well yeah, sort of. But I said anyone with a Wikipedia page. Since there weren't contestants, I don't want to disqualify anyone. Whole point is having fun.
So if you, or anyone else, would want to change their list and put up fictional characters instead, that's fine. But I must say, I prefer real people. Selecting a knight character from a fantasy as tank is not what I had in mind originally. But that's cool in another way.
I must say, your Vladimir Putin on CC duty ROFLed me a couple of times! XD

Haha fair enough, I was just wondering. It is a great thread, in fact it is one of the first threads I have posted in, in a looooong time. Really enjoying coming back to it and seeing what people have come up with. I thought it would have many more posts by now, where is everyone at?!?
Glad you liked it also. I had some terribly unsavoury, none 'pc' ideas for most of the categories but had to stop myself

I'm glad you liked it mate. I thought the community could use a thread which is purely about having fun. I was very drunk when I thought of it, but I'm glad I did!

Tank – "Boris the Blade. Boris the Bullet Dodger. As bent as the Soviet sickle, and as hard as
the hammer that crosses it. Apparently, it's just impossible to kill the bastard".
Heck, even better than my Mayweather pick, since, let's face it, Floyd is light... and as Boris said: "Heavy. Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work, you can still hit him with it"

From this moment I won't be accepting any new entries, close them flood gates!
Now I just have to find a weird way to make a fair judgment. Give me a day, I'll announce the winners.

Sorry for taking too long to announce this. I'm really busy getting dumped these days. I'm glad you guys had fun, I myself had several genuine laughs. I wish more people participated in the contest, but I guess not everyone's into silly topics like this whilst we have some serious stuff going on such as poo in Star Citizen. Now let's get down to business...
I have judged the entries based on three factors:
Creativity: Theme and chemistry of your party and the reasons you mentioned for each pick.
Charm: Whether you were going for comedy or elegance, how charming your party turned out to be.
Competence: We should also let's get real (irony?), I had to evaluate how well your group would do in the dungeon in action.
Honorable Mentions
Best Tank: Larry Csonka by @Scorchien - Who would want to stand in front of that guy running?
Best Healer: The Pope by @aslan132 - Mass AoE heals and buffs.
Best DPS: Keanu Reeves by @Nyctelios - From Matrix to John Wick, this dude knows how to stay on top of Recount.
Best CC: Harry Houdini by @Po_gg - A legend in crowd manipulation indeed.
Best Support: Will Smith by @TheScavenger - I personally believe if I had Will around, with his voice and his kind and awesome attitude, I could conquer the world. Don't forget how supportive he is of his family and fans as well. Awesome man.
Winner of the most fun yet underrated post
@Cryomatrix - The Away-From-Patients healthcare professional with the most horrible possible party. I predict endless amount of wipes in this dungeon run.
Tank: Sean Bean - who dies ALL the time Healer: Himself - the AFK healer DPS: Kanye West - The pretend gangsta CC: Donald Trump - who generates more aggro than the tank Support: Nicholas Cage - who cannot get himself cast even as a support role anymore
Awesome, awesome party. You Sir, are the proud winner of a $5 Steam gift-card!!!
Now I know many of you wanted Iselin to win. Going GoT was cool enough, but all female cast was indeed creative. And we can all agree on the charm. But... I have some issues with his group.
Talia Stark led her tank to his demise. I think if you had Daenerys on DPS duty you would've pushed much further in the dungeon. Dragon pets? All that AoE damage? Come one!! Arya Stark, I see her more as a rogue. Now she could be the perfect CC.
If you had rearranged the party a bit, I am sure you would've won it. But sadly in the end it turned out one of those friendly parties where the tank wanted to DPS and the rogue wanted to tank and the healer did more DPS than healing... that has happened to all of us.
You two are the proud of winners of $10 Steam gift-card !!!!!!
Boris the Bullet Dodger - If you have seen Snatch. you'd know he has no problem maintaining aggro, he has like %100 dodging chance and he doesn't fucking die! Excellent tank.
Your weak role? Zohan. Remember, in the end he went and became a barber, he didn't want to kill anymore. You can't rely on that kinda attitude in the dungeon I am sending you to.
Frank Underwood - That's proper CC.
Samwise Gamgee - Classic support
Well done sir, you are the proud winner of $25 Steam gift-card !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Place
It was very hard to pick the first place. I wanted the first place to both funny and elegant. I wanted it to be competence and roles accurately assigned. And no one did it better than....
Rasputin - A true healer who doesn't die easily himself
Bruce Lee - If we drop all the special effects and the unrealistic crap from the movies, no one could beat this guy's Damage Per Second. Well he was also a close friend of my father so, I am a bit melancholic here though.
Pepe Le Pew - If you ever saw one in real life, you'd know this is the right choice.
Mini-Me - Yep, that's your support. You are not sure WTF he's doing at all yet you have to invite him to the party anyways.
You sir, are the proud winning of $50 Steam gift-card.
Congratulations to all the winners, and my apologies and thanks to all the contestants.

Gratz to the winners, some amazing parties indeed I'm still on Boris as the best tank, André is great, but in the Princess Bride he was defeated pretty easily by a single man in a duel... (kidding, ofc)
Awsome thread, and congrats to all winners. Was truly a nice break from all the normal "hate-filled" threads we have lately, fighting over this MMO or that (or even what an MMO is or is not) haha. I hope more people take the initiative to bring this kind of fun to the forums more frequently. Well done all.
PS. Thanks for the honorable mention. Next time I will try to put more time and effort into it. As it stands, I had hurricane aggro, and felt rushed, trying to get back to hurricane prep. That Irma sure had some DPS this last weekend haha (Shame the party had to be real people amirite....)
I'd love to hear more about your father and Bruce Lee. When I was a child I lived a 15 minute walk from my local cinema and must have watched Enter the Dragon at least 15 times, Bruce was my idol
If you have not purchased the prizes yet, I would rather have you donate the value of my prize to a charity of your choice.

Hey mate. In fact I just did, but it's not a big deal, I'll just add it to my own Steam no worries. I need to buy a couple of titles anyway.
Name any charity you'd like and I'll take care of it.
Bruce being your idol did help you a little bit to win the contest. Now you don't want the prize, instead you want to donate it to a charity. It's not much, but this money would still help someone somewhere a little bit. So in a way, Bruce Lee, even after 44 years after his death, is helping someone somewhere. That's the kind of influence the man has.

Hey thanks man. I don't say this to everyone but you should post drunk more often.
