A BIG FAT DO OVER! Best Fight Scene. THE FINAL VOTE!!!

[sarah]

Hello all you voters out there. I think someone was voting while I moved the older thread to the clearing today and their vote didn't show up when I was looking it over.

In light of the tie, I am doing a do over.

The top three votes in to be voted on in the final run are:

The Dixie Pig
Roland Taking down Tull
The Fight at the Gas Station


Thank you for casting your vote again.


:rose:

[Brice]

It's not important if they were voting for anything other than Tull. :D

[Letti]

Oh, my favourite is among them. Great.

[Unfound One]

Fight at the Gas Station.
Definitely.

[obscurejude]

I'm torn between Dixie and the Gas Station (the only part in my SOS that still remains :)) I need to think about it over the weekend.

Gas Station ;)

We'll see. I just love the pere. Its a hard one... The gas station was great.

[Letti]

Take your time, dear. :)

[razz]

wow. last time I saw the last thread, dixie pig was winning. now it ain't got any votes.

[fernandito]

:)

[Brice]

...and what might you have voted for Feev??? :lol:

[Matt]

We have discovered that polls are delicate things. If they are editied or moved while someone is voting, it does not record.

And since these are so popular, its happened a few times. :lol:

but all is fixable as you can see.

I'm really glad the gas station is up this time, it isn't Eddies naked gunfight but its probably number two for me.

Maybe I just like seeing Eddie and Roland fighting together most of all. I always felt like the two of them could storm Blue Heaven and the Tower beyond all by themselves.

[fernandito]

^^

That's one mystery you don't need the Scooby Doo gang to solve, eh?


:evil:

[ladysai]

GAS STATION!

[MonteGss]

Gas Station.

Two real Gunslingers fighting...along with great commentary!

[blackrose22]

This was so hard as each of the fights scenes are so fantastic. But went with Tull in the end.

[Matt]

Neck and neck!!

[MonteGss]

If Tull wins....I'll be so disappointed. :(





But only for a little bit.... because that "fight" was cool too. :)

[jayson]

Adding in the Gas Station made it a bit more difficult to choose, but I am still going with the Dixie Pig. Roland and Eddie at the Gas Station was exciting, but I knew they'd be able to handle it. Jake and Callahan were a different story altogether, especially the way Jake handled himself in the kitchen holding his ground one Oriza plate at a time.

I respect your decision sai Friend. I personally just enjoyed a fight with two Gunslingers against all odds more than I liked the others, which only had one. :) :thumbsup:

[jayson]

if it were just the gas station or Tull I'd be with you Monte. of course we all know that Jake is my favorite King character, so getting to read about his handiwork at the Pig was a big payoff for me. killing robots in Wolves is one thing, but his stand in the kitchen, now that's one tough little mother.

[MonteGss]

that's one tough little mother.

Agreed!!! :thumbsup: :cool:

Jake, for me though, is third as my favorite behind Roland and Eddie. :)

[Jean]

I can't believe Dixie Pig is losing!

::deeply shocked bear::

[alinda]

Jean! Your safe! :D Good to see you!
Do you see there had to be a re-do
the poll was tied...Glad you made it.

[Daghain]

It was between the gas station and Tull, but I had to go for Tull.

[Arthur Heath]

I just put us Gas Statoin lovers one vote closer. It was tough choosing between Dixie and Gas station but I do so loves me some Eddie kicking ass at his peak of gunslinging!

[Mark]

I voted Gas Station, because Tull didn't seem too much of a fight to me, more of a slaughter. The Dixie Pig also didn't seem like a fight to me, it was good, but it seemed more like an extended death rather than a full on fight, The Gas Station was full fighting, bullets shot from both sides, and, as Monte said, it's two real gunslingers fighting, not a gunslinger child and a redemed priest.

[mia/susannah]

I totally agree with you. The gas station fight did make it harder but I had to stick with Dixie Pig. jake was really great in that fight.

[Jean]

I have a suspicion, namely, that those who voted for Dixie Pig would vote for Gas Station if those two were tied. I would suggest making such a poll if we see that Dixie has fallen desperately behind (which is a shame), because otherwise the results won't really be representative

[Frunobulax]

THE DIXIE MUTHAFUCKIN' PIG
Best fight scene in any of the books--period. If I must explain, you're missing the point and the whole idea by a quadrillion miles.

[Jean]

Fruno, as it so often happens, has summed up in one line what I have been trying to convey in scores of lengthy posts

[Brice]

I'll be closing this thread now since Tull is winning. :P


If anyone wants to vote for Tull PM me and I'll reopen it long enough for you to vote. :rofl:

[alinda]

:nope:

[fernandito]

:dance:

[Brice]

I thought you'd like that Feev. :rock:

[alinda]

I was hoping for a simple 2 way split the tie,

[ladysai]

I wont mind at all if the gas station scene loses to the Dixie Pig scene...
but, TULL?!
PFFT!
~moons the Tull lovers~

[Matt]

I think the Pig is splitting the Gas Station votes like an Independent. :lol:

Gas Station!!

For all the reason stated above and more.

[alinda]

never did like politics, or polls...

[Letti]

What about opening a new thread and poll just with the Gas station option? ;) It would solve all our problems. :D

[jayson]

better yet, let's take out the "target practice at Tull" and let the two real fights fight it out.

*ducks Feev's gunfire*

[Ves'Ka Gan]

I voted for the Dixie Pig, because I felt like there was so much more suspense and it was really interesting to see how everything came together (fell apart...) and I loved seeing Jake really kick butt!!

Although...I think taking down Balazar was my real favorite. Before it's even mentioned, I had found respect for Eddie for fighting his ass off while his ass was bare!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah ahahahhahahaha!
:clap: Now THAT was funny!!

[DettaDelgado]

Tull. It was the first time I saw Roland draw his guns, and it left an impression, slaughtering a town like that.

[MonteGss]

I think the Gas Station was just a better fight considering the circumstances and who Eddie and Roland were fighting. It was Roland against some dim-witted hicks with pitchforks (who admittedly did put up a decent fight) in Tull. It was serious kick-ass action against heavy caliber mobsters at the Station. Tull was cool and everything but I am still scratching my head how it is a better "fight scene" than the Station.
My two cents. :)

[fernandito]

Yep, still in the lead.


:)

[MonteGss]

:lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

wtf? i'm gone for a day and you guys go all twilight zone on me! :panic:


you know in the real world the dixie pig is winning because all those gas station votes really belong there. you know that, right? :lol:

[sarah]

I am ending this Poll on Wednesday June 4th. just fye. :D

I agree completely.
And love your sig, too.
:kiss:

[Jean]

I am ending this Poll on Wednesday June 4th. just fye. :D

but seriously, let's make the Very Final poll of Tull vs. Dixie Pig. Please. It's the only way to make the result convincing - read the posts, and you will see that those who voted for Gas would all have voted for DP, and against Tull.

[alinda]

How many licks does it take to get to the center
of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know :D

[Tiffany]

Dixie Pig all the way.

I do love the gas station but Jake's my favorite character and that scene made my heart pound.

[mia/susannah]

I still say Dixie Pig. I don't see Tull as much of a fight. It was a exciting scene don't get me wrong but not much of a fight. The Gas station fight was a very good fight. I loved it. But Jake really proved himself at the Dixie Pig

another poll? a tull vs dixie poll? Is that what everyone wants? I'll move this into the clearing and start it over if that is what you all want. Post your answers here. If not, this will still stand as the final vote.

[fernandito]

This as the final vote!

I love Tull. I love that Tull is named after Tull. Dixie Pig was awesome, and Oy performed admirably. But my vote goes to the gas station as well.

[Brice]

Quick, Sarah! Close it before they catch up. :panic: :panic: :panic:

[ladysai]

Noooooo! Dont close the poll! :panic: :panic: :panic:

[fernandito]

No more O.T!

Close it! Close it!

[alinda]

I must say it intriques me ....because with out
DP in the running, I too think Tull wouldnt stand
a chance as "the best fight scene".

Just wish this process of voting felt as if there were some merit
to it, other than dividing our little group to war over
which war was better. *shrug* You know my vote
only curiousity will bring me back when the voting is done.

[Brainslinger]

I don't count Tull really as to me it was more of an execution than an actual fight. Ok, there were enough people to be a hazard, even for a gunslinger, but even so.

It was difficult to choose between the last two. As a scene I preferred the Dixie Pig, and if the poll was "Which was your favourite scene?" that's t he one I would have chosen. However, since we're judging fight scenes I chose the gas station.

That being said, I think Callahan and Jake were in as much, if not more danger than the other two, and it was as much of a battle, at least of wills as much as anything, but for an old fashioned shoot-em-up I think the gas station wins.

Oh and people big up Jake in the Dixie pig, but it was Callahan who owned that one I reckon. At least the part in the dining room, although Jake did some cool plate stuff later.

[The Lady of Shadows]

come on DIXIE PIG people. we are almost there. show those tull people that a massacre (however well deserved it might be) is not a fight. and that jake knows how to stand and be true!!!!!
:) :rose: :clap: :shoot: :scared: :couple: :unsure:

[Ves'Ka Gan]

It looks like Dixie Pig is gaining ground..... :D

[MonteGss]

I don't think we should have another vote...I think the winner of this one will be enough. I do think the poll/thread should be open longer though....I mean, there are only 37 votes right now. Is this enough? That's a rather small amount of people from this big site. I know we can't get everyone to vote but 37 seems awfully small.






(yes, feve, this is only a ploy for the gas station to gain more ground...mwhahaha) not really though, i meant what i said. :)

[ladysai]

It's a good idea, Monte. Let's allow more time for more people to vote.

The fact that it is also a good ploy is just a lucky coincidence.
:)

[obscurejude]

I really can't decide between the Dixie Pig and the Gas Station. I guess I'm not going to vote. I just can't decide and the poll closes tomorrow.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Voted Gas Station. Hard choice between that and Dixie Pig. Still can't believe Tull is featuring up there with these two.

Ok. :)

Poll to close on Friday June 6th

[Brice]

Nope, sorry. Today is the day the poll was to end and Tull already won. :P :P :P

Edit: ok, it was tomorrow, but anyone else clearly would have voted for tull.

How many more votes can be possibly get in by friday? 8? 9? 10? So if we get 10 more votes, you won't consider it a 'small amount'?

I actually agree with you feve. That's all we'll probably get, 8-10 more. No, I don't think 40 something votes is enough, imo. I will personally still consider it a small amount. I'd have the vote stay open even longer...but I'm not the boss. :)

I just don't think I can take a poll seriously when only 4% of members actually voted..that isn't representative of our faithful DT Junkies.
Anyway...it looks like Tull is going to pull through so that's cool! They are all super-cool scenes. :cool:

[fernandito]

Dude, even if you left this poll open for another month you still won't get the kind of votes youre lookign for. There are , what, 1,300 + members here? How long would it take for us to even get 100 votes on here?

[MonteGss]

My friend...all I'm saying is that I'm personally not satisfied with a paltry 4%....if you are, awesome! Really...the final outcome is really saying that of the 50 or so dedicated message board members...(insert winner) wins the award for best fight scene.


I don't understand why it would be such a deal to leave it open, that's all. I mean, if there are not hits on it..no new posts...that is one thing but if the thread and the voting remains active...why not leave it open?

[fernandito]

Alrigiht, let's leave it until friday so we can get those other 6 votes in , that ought to boost up the percentage considerably.

[MonteGss]

:rolleyes:

This is an extremely tight race. Great poll Mearl, much thanks!

It IS a tight race...it's making me want to race through my re-read to get to the Gas Station fight and the Dixie Pig!! *Deep breaths* *pacing self*

[The Lady of Shadows]

may i remind you all that the dixie pig rules.

thank you for your attention.

[fernandito]

[/STRAIGHT JACKETS ALL AROUND!]

Hell, I'll take one too.

feev, feev, feev. everybody knows that you can't straight jacket a turtle. we just slip right out again. :)

besides, you know that deep down in your heart of hearts you want the dixie pig to win. come on, admit it. you're among friends. say it with me - i, feverishparade, want the dixie pig to win.

there, don't you feel better now that you've let your real feelings come out? :clap:

Tull...

the logging truck rolled over as the bullets flew

If having the only Gunslingers, lobster bait of the past (best) gunfight and cool old man with a boat isn't enough, that should be.

Gas Station!

Also, folks who are hoping to get more votes should totally put a link in their sig like Maerlyn did. :rock:

[MonteGss]

Good idea Matt! (and maerlyn)

really? hmmmm. any particular place in mind or is it open to discussion? :lol:

[wizardsrainbow]

I guess I am a purist at heart and have an affinity for the first book....Roland kicks serious butt in Tull. I would like to see him reload and reload with the spent shell casings burning the tips of his fingers.

[Tiffany]

"Will you?" Jake asked the Pere, meaning Will you stand. Will you fight. Will you kill.
Low men, vampires, those killer beatles, the smell of roasing flesh, Roland's voice commanding Jake from Callahan's mouth.....Jake put their numbers at 100 and it was only himself, the Pere and Oy!!!

Come on!

:shoot:

[CRinVA]

Tull for sure! :-)

[fernandito]

Good man Crinva! Good man! :D

[obscurejude]

You know what, I just realized how indelible of an impression Tull makes on the reader. It sticks with you for the rest of the series and puts everything related to Roland in perspective, including later fight scenes. One of the appeals of the gas station is that he is with someone else, but that is appreciable (for me) because of Tull and its solitariness.

I voted Tull.

[jayson]

Jake put their numbers at 100 and it was only himself, the Pere and Oy!!!

Come on!

:shoot:

I couldn't agree more. Also, as Monte pointed out earlier, the enemy at the Dixie Pig were capable of putting up a much greater fight than the folken of Tull. Tull was a very exciting moment, and like Ryan said, it is definitely a defining moment for Roland, but as far as a "fight" goes, the Dixie Pig was more unpredictable and exciting.

Tull is the best because it was more intense, more action packed, and it was the most memorable.

[The Lady of Shadows]

you know, the thing about tull is roland knew it was a trap. he fucking knew it and he stayed anyway. he didn't gain anything there. he didn't come across any great and wonderous knowledge. he didn't find new weapons, make any new discoveries, draw anyone. . .

he ate, he fucked, he massacred.

he knew it was a trap and he stayed anyway. he even told himself he should leave and he stayed anyway. that's not a battle, that's not a heroic fight, that's a fucking massacre.

and i swear to gan, the first person who says ka to me is going to get shot.

:)

so, odetta, you know snapping turtles are reputed to hold on to whatever they bite until sunset. . . .

[Girlystevedave]

I'd say he accomplished something. :dance:

[fernandito]

So what if he knew it was a trap? That doesn't make the battle any less amazing.

[Arthur Heath]

I would describe amazing as overcoming a great obstacle. Roland backpedaling, shooting what may as well be slow mutants is no great obstacle. Hell feeve, you could pull that off.
Gas station for life!

You think avoiding 57 people with knifes and pitchforks is easy? Roland is a Gunslinger, he's not Neo in the Matrix where he can keep track of everybodys movements. And if it was such an easy battle, then why is that the only battle in which he sustained injuries?

[ladysai]

If sustaining injuries defined a 'battle', then the lobstrosities kicked major ass.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Counter my other points, amigo.

Knives and pitchforks can be avoided with much greater ease than bullets and runaway log trucks can be avoided.

[Arthur Heath]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Counter my other points, amigo.

What other point? That Roland in no Neo? I think we can both agree on that.

[fernandito]

Knives and pitchforks can be avoided with much greater ease than bullets and runaway log trucks can be avoided.

Tell that to Roland!

:cyclops:

[fernandito]

20 VOTES!

[ladysai]

Knives and pitchforks can be avoided with much greater ease than bullets and runaway log trucks can be avoided.

Tell that to Roland!

:cyclops:

I'm certain he could recognize the difference without me pointing it out.
He is a gunslinger after all, and knows quite well how dangerous guns are, as opposed to how dangerous pitchforks can be.;)

Okay, okay, let me rephrase something - Fending off a pissed off mob might be easier than fending off bullets, but it is not easy.

Seen?

[ladysai]

None of the fights in the poll were easy.
I'm merely pointing out that Tull was easier than the Gas Station.
Savvy?

[Girlystevedave]

Was it 'easy' or did Roland just make it seem easy because he is such a good fighter?

[Ves'Ka Gan]

hannah and aaron won't let you (they voted dixie pig like all sane people!). :)

Now, Turtlesong, we seem to agree on a lot of things, and I definitely voted Dixie Pig--but where do you get off calling me sane? Hmm?:panic:

[Arthur Heath]

The poll is like politics and religion; lots of opinionated comments which are are unable to swing voters to their side of thinking.

[fernandito]

That's a nice analogy, I like that!

Here, have a gold star.

I think that's as close to the truth as we are going to get. I have all sorts of reasons for my choice...but I doubt a single one is going to convince a Tull voter to think I'm right.

However, like most religious talking heads, I still feel the need to spread my line of thinking!

So COME ON! The Dixie Pig has it all, good action, character development, suspense...people with rat heads!

[Matt]

Me and Dora stand together at the Gas Station. :rock:

i'd like to hear from dora herself if you please sai. not that i don't trust you but. . .

well, i don't trust you. :lol:

Noooo, it's a Harry Winston and you are beginning to wonder how you ever voted for anything other than Diiiiixiiiiiieeee Piiiiiiig

[Arthur Heath]

Sorry, I just don't trusts anyones judgment who voted for anything other than the gas station.

[Tiffany]

Ah well, fuckall, I tried.

(I only know who the hell Harry Winston is because I googled "top luxury jewelry brands.")

[The Lady of Shadows]

and a damn fine effort it was tiffany. :couple:

Thanks! I gave it a shot.

:clap: Dixie Pig!!!

How the hell is it losing to Tull? The gas station I can understand but Tull?!

[The Lady of Shadows]

you know, technically we're not losing to tull. because our votes got split into two with the gas station. so we should have our votes WITH the gas station votes.

so in the real world, we're winning.

this is a different level of the tower.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

I was going to sacrifice a goat so that the Dixie Pig would win, but then I didn't have one, and it turns out when you ask people in Baltimore City where you can buy a goat...they think you mean some new drug they haven't heard of....

:rofl:

that's okay. just put a link in your sig. tell all your friends. and pm matt (a lot) to go and edit the votes or you'll spam him (he's the lord high commander and all that, he should be able to do that). j/k :lol:

[fernandito]

Yup, still ahead.


:fairy:

[obscurejude]

Yup.

[Darkthoughts]

What the...?

Ok, I've been really rubbish and haven't paid attention to the fight poll :blush:...but why isn't the fight against the Wolves a contender? Thats the best by far!

It was eliminated in a previous round when it went head to head with the Gas station scene, I believe... Maer sent the previous threads to the clearing , you can check them out there.

[Matt]

Maerlyn created a whole bunch of threads and the ones above had the most votes out of all of them. This is the "thrilla in Manilla" to see which comes out on top.

Personally, I consider Eddies naked gun fight the best but it didn't make it to this heat.

EDIT--that was late, I should have refreshed. :lol:

[sarah]

Eddie naked was some cool stuff. I loved that scene too, Matt.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

:cry: I'm not liking the current stats AT ALL! Come on Dixsie Pig people! Unite!!

I knew I should have sacrificed that goat...anyone have suggestions for a good False Idol to worship till the vote is over? Billy Idol maybe?

[The Lady of Shadows]

hey now. you know that billy idol got his look from spike. :lol:

maybe if you sacrificed feev? :unsure:

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Done. And not just for the beam bucks. But because it's way better than my old Dixie Pig sig anyway, and like Feev or not...this is serious business!

I don't mind, that's f'n hilarious :lol:

He said it was okay!

Although I'm inclined to believe he meant having it in my sig & not actually carrying it out...close enough for government work though...

not virtual at all. think of what you can do with $5000 beam bucks. you'll be a gold member. your very own personalized title for life. a larger sig, a larger picture. go to the beam bucks store (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=1389) thread and see.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Oh, I know what I can do with it...:excited:

my point with the comment was that Maerlyn's beam bucks would be worthless to me. I only want beam bucks I can spend & still sleep at night!

P.S. Click the VOTE FOR JETHRO TULL link. ;)

[The Lady of Shadows]

ummm. it's not a link?

[Ves'Ka Gan]

The thing below it is a link, but it just brings you back here...so I am a little befuddled.

[Jean]

Now it's 22 for tull and 33 (15 + 18 ) againts it. As I said, I am sure that those who voted Gas Station would have voted DPig if Gas Station wasn't available

Yes, as many have already noted, Dixie Pig is winning; which is only fair because it (as many have already noted, too) is the very point of the book.

[Woofer]

ummm. it's not a link?

Rats, I should've noticed no underline. I got an error when I first added it, and I had to edit it. I guess I edited out the link. Oh well. It WOULD have taken you to a page to vote on rock and roll stuff.

Yeah, that one's right. Operator error on the woof's part.

If Gas Station weren't an option, my vote would be for Tull.
Tull isn't as good as GS, but it was better than Dixie Pig. :)




*edit*
I encourage those of you with signature links in to this vote to post in all other forums and threads so those people that tend to shy away from Dark Tower threads ( :unsure: ) will see the link and hopefully vote. :)

exceptions confirm the rule

or else, why wouldn't the Tull partisans support my idea of that final two-option poll?

Yes, I admit that I should have waited a bit longer to start this poll so that there would only be two to vote for. But it is too late now, and I'm getting the consensus that this should still stand as the last vote.


and, a big happy bear birthday jean! :couple:

This kind of argument will win elections in some places. :lol:

[Jean]

why is it too late??? is there any Dark Authority looming over you I don't know about???

[Brice]

I'm a US Marine...not a mercenary. (the money is better as a mercenary--but money without honor is just paper! or in this case...virtual paper?)

So, am I wrong in thinking if she'd have said she'd send you $7500.00 in US dollars that you'd change your sig? :lol:

[sarah]

why is it too late??? is there any Dark Authority looming over you I don't know about???


:lol: no there isn't.

a couple of pages back this was discussed and well most people said they would prefer to leave it alone and not put a time ending on this poll.

So what I'm getting from you is that you would like a Tull/Dixie Pig vote off?

I'm willing.


EDIT:

I could just move this whole thread to the clearing and bring back the other two polls and let them sit awhile before doing a final vote.

hmmmm

[Jean]

yes, yes, please!

::bearclap of bearpaws::
::bearjump up and down impatiently::

[alinda]

This sounds good to me ......2 way, win or loose fellas :ninja:

[sarah]

yes, yes, please!

::bearclap of bearpaws::
::bearjump up and down impatiently::


ok.

let me see how I can do this fair and square....


thread closed for a bit... pm me with questions. :)

[Jean]

just another thread, I think, DP versus Tull; I don't believe any of those who have already been taking part would be surprized

...and just imagine, if DPig loses (which won't happen, but if), you'll be able to tell me "Well, what did I say?" all my life...

[Matt]

How is it DP if DP is losing this vote? :lol:

Like in third place.

[sarah]

since the other two polls were close, I'm going to open them back up for a couple of days and keep this one closed until further notice.

[Jean]

How is it DP if DP is losing this vote? :lol:

Like in third place.

because those who voted for Tull voted for Tull, and those who voted for Gas Station were mostly hesitating between that and DP, and would have voted for DP if there had been no Gas Station option; there are exceptions, but the main spirit of posts I've read was just that. (or else... remember how Bush Jr. was elected the first time? no voting system guarantees against faults, so the spirit has to be heeded, too, not only the figures)

[Matt]

Okay, I can see that but I think the same could be said if DP wasn't there, all the votes would have gone to the Gas Station. :lol:

But I'm just being the devils advocate--I'm cool with whatever Sarah decides to do with it. :grouphug:

[sarah]

Thanks.

I think I'll just reopen the other two poll threads and let those speak for themselves.
