Phase I of the 2nd Season of The Vagabonds has now officially ended.
Over the last 16 (or so) days have I presented eight original paintings of mine, the game being that anybody could determine the presented character with a unique first name, a random positive trait, a random negative trait and a random Profession along with a superpower/weapon/artefact of his/her choice.
That phase has now ended, but before moving on to the new phase, let me first present to you the eighth Vagabond, and what her final outcome was. And let me tell you that up till now, it was a very, very fun game to host, it was a pleasure every time to see so many people coming back to play this little, weird, zany game, thank you, thank you!
Now then, then now! This was the eighth painting; the last Vagabond finished Phase I very much in style with a record-breaking 16 entries! Thank you, everybody, for joining in, there were again some weird and wicked combinatons made, here they all are:

Now for Phase II!
These Vagabonds will now randomly be pitched against each other in contests/games/fights/sports. The winner goes through to the next round, until we have a final winner. You can call him/her the Ultimate! Vagabond.
Which ones will be pitched against each other? The dice will determine which Vagabonds will have to play/fight/compete against each other.
Winner goes through to the next round? We will start with 4 quarter-finals, the winners of every quarter-final will go through to 2 semi-finals, and the winners there will advance to the final, which will determine the overall-winner.
Which contests/games/fights/sports will they compete? That's where you decide, in this very post! Make a comment with up to three (four if you're really inspired!) sports/contests/games/fights that could be played/fought/won. Preferably one-on-one contests, not group-sports!
It could be a game (Chess/Backgammon/Monopoly, ...), a sport (Golf, Boxing, High-Jump, ...), a battle (World War II, Waterloo, Lepanto, ...), a fight (a direct one-on-one Pirate-fight, a 1927 Mobster-Chicago gun-shoot-out, ... ), or anything really (first-to-the-sea-race, tic-tac-toe, rock-paper-scissors, stacking dominoes, ...)
I will put all suggestions in one big list and let the battle be decided for every quarter-final, semi-final, and final randomly.
The first quarter-final will begin tomorrow, and will be open for entries for 24 or 48 hours, depending on my available time and number of entries.
Also, every game (Q-F, S-F, Final) will be determined by your comment. Every battle/competition will have two Vagabonds competing with their strength (the chosen positive trait) and weakness (the negative trait) and their respective super-power.
In the games, you can decide how the battle ensues, who's victorious and how or why you feel, according to how you interpret their respective powers/weaknesses. But that's for the next post.
For now, give me fun games/sports/fights/competitons in which these Vagabonds can compete against each other! Thank you!
I really hope I made myself clear, if you have any questions - I'm happy to answer them :)
Let's make this a fun and interactive play!
