I AM - Antonia Bayle, Queen of Qeynos. AKA Queen of the Human Faction in EverQuest (2)

WHY?

Because even though it was decreed by Antonius Bayle the First that no ruler of Qeynos should ever be called king, The name Antonius became the title taken by every descendant of that bloodline who wore the crown. Being a woman, Antonia Bayle took the liberty of altering the title and is correctly addressed as "Antonia" not "Queen Antonia" or "Your Majesty" or "Your Highness. She is a problem solver.

I like the way she thinks and uses her keen and superior intellect to get over, around, or under hurdles that Life and the Dark Forces of Innoruk throw her way. The evil Lucan D'Lere of Freeport has nothing on this Lady of Qeynos who possesses an enigmatic charm and an undeniable beauty, she commands the attention of all who see her. However, she is far from just a pretty face;she has a natural gift to inspire her people and make wise decisions. She speaks from the heart and motivates her subjects to believe in their ability to achieve great things. Her strongest trait is her belief in justice and it guides all her decisions. I am all about the justice.

Although, I, myself may lack her great beauty and royal heritage, we share a physical resemblance, in that the Goddess Tunare has failed to bless us with an over abundance of breast(s), as she has that silly, elven, twit Firiona Vie. I mean, seriously, how does that Paladin even walk? I don't know what that Goddess was thinking... a Paladin as your "champion"? Pfft. Stinkin' Elves.

As I do not have a picture of myself as Antonia, I am substituting a picture of the Actresses who play both Antonia and Firiona at all the big Sony/EQ shin-digs. I'd of course look just like her... laugh.gif





Also, if I don't win - I plan to convert to Freeport faction, join the Dark Elves and totally Kill Steal, Train, and Ninja ALL of your Mobs and phat loots. Yeah, I'm Xegony, hard core and that's how we roll.



LOVE IT!!

*btw, did you know Heather Graham is the in-game voice of Antonia?*

Nem, you are SUCH a nerd.

And for the record, I am the Overlord - although I am a female ratonga, despite the title "OverLORD" ... you know how difficult it is to keep trolls and such in line if they think yer a FEMALE RAT?!?!

Yeah. I could kick your Miss Good Two-Shoes butt all over Antonica. And probably most of ROK. Because I roll like that.

Pfft. Come get in Age of Conan (it's still a little buggy but I've been able to play all day) I have a Priestess of Set, Ranger, and Guardian. Let's go! hehe

I remember lots of people from WoW were stoked for Conan to come out but I heard it ended up being a failure. Is it any good?

This one is really exciting!

It's the first one I've actually entered. Got my fingers crossed! (we NEEEEEEEEEED a Wii -- literally laugh.gif)

Nem I have NO interest in AoC. I'd rather chew glass than play that game. Have fun with it tho!

I like it. It's like any "new" game though and very buggy/glitchy. Give them another 6months (or less) and they'll have it all worked out. I haven't gotten to the PvP stage yet though (on a RvR server) so ask me again in a few months if I haven't given up completely. Ha! I remember giving Funcom's Anarchy Online a test run and /shudder couldn't even get through the free month. They seem to have worked out a lot of their previous mistakes and are knocking down bug-fixes left and right.

Keep in mind, that WoW has had several years to work things out, and let's face it Blizzard has one hella a team on staff who actually play MMOs. (Yeah yeah Furor is a MMO Gawd, etc).

Oh and if you have Vista/Directx10 - it F'in rocks. DL'd it onto hubby's computer and OMG.

It reminds me a great deal of a mix between EQ2 and Star Wars Galaxies. But let me restate, this is NOT a teen/kid game. I've never seen so many *hore references in my life!~ laugh.gif I'm not a BIG Conan book fan (only ever watched the movies) but it seem very true to the books/fantasy/fiction.

Please, please, please vote for me!

If you want, I can even take videos of myself playing. (the Wii, that is)

*fingers crossed*

Personally, I think if Fallon wins he should check the thrift stores for a Leisure Suit and prove to us he was deserving.
