Default Be Unpopular or Die! (III) LIGHTWOLF, ACE EMERALD AND CRUX WIN

Welcome to the third (fourth if you count prize edition) Be Unpopular or Die!

Quote:
Originally Posted by Fat Obi, from the first time it was made
The rules of the game are simple. I will pose a question for you and provide four responses to this question. All participants PM me their response. You can say whatever you like in this thread. You can lie about your response or tell the truth. There is only one catch: if your response is the most popular response, you are eliminated. In the event of a tie, all people who voted for either option are eliminated, everyone else advances to the next round. The winner(s) is(are) the one(s) who remain the round before everyone is eliminated (so if there are four people, and two vote for one response, two vote for another, these four people win).

For example, say the question for the first round is "So, is Surgo fat or what?"
Sample answers are:
a) Yes
b) Yeah
c) No (vote for this if you have no dignity!)
d) No... I mean yes.

You want to pick the option that you think the fewest people will pick. You want to post stuff in this thread to convince people to vote for options you didn't vote for. If you can convince them to vote for the same option, that's even better.
All the rounds will be posted in this thread. This means that there will not be a seperate thread for each round.

Rounds will end when approximately 2 days is up, or when everybody has PM'd me their answer.

I only accept PMs. Do not tell me your answer over IRC

List of Players (Bold means you're still in)


These 58 contestants immediately participate in a flurry of discussion; Spiffy sits in a corner talking to himself, Pernicous boasts about how he's so unpopular to the approval of no one, and others chant for Crux to go pack. It seems like popularity between the contestants is beginning to emerge already.

Suddenly, a shadow emerges, and from the shadow steps a masked weirdo with an asthmatic problem. He (or she, you can't tell due to that hideous costume) calls himself Darth Vader, and points a gun at you all. The first question becomes obvious:

What do you need to win in a fight against the dark side?
A) Duct tape
B) A paintbrush
C) A light-saber toothed tiger
D) A torch

Good luck.

I trust my d4 to be the way towards victory in this. Do not accuse me of cheating. The rules don't prohibit using tools to win!

As this webcomic demonstrates, Duct Tape is what you need.

A light-saber toothed tiger would be a great tool against the dark side, were it not for the high possibility of it eating you instead.

A torch seems like the most effective and punny option so I'm going with that. The tiger is a safe bet if you want to get through this round though.

Choosing paintbrush so that billymills can be eliminated. You guys should, too.

Why, a paint brush of course. I didn't choose it though, as billymills suggested.
