Hello.. My name is Inigo Montoya..
 
Damn, is Inigo Montoya the ultimate badass or what? What with his clever "Prepare to die" phrases and ultimate swordsmanship madness. Hell, the movie in itself is sweet....Mmmmhmmm...

Actually, I thought the movie made it quite clear that Wesley, AKA the Dread Pirate Roberts, was in fact the ultimate badass. He beat Inigo Montoya hands down at swordfighting, as well as beating the sicilian at strategy and Andre the Giant in hand-to-hand combat. In the universe of The Princess Bride, he is superior to everyone at everything, including, I would assume, being a badass. So, there you go.

Agreed. Wesley beat Inigo. Easily. And he gets the girl. Can't forget that. When adding up endpoint scenario earnings at the end of a fairy tail, getting the girl is ranked equally with "becoming king" in happily-ever-after points.

Unless, of course, 'the girl' is a princess, and the act of getting also makes you king, in which case happily-ever-after points are doubled for both catagories.

Vicious 03-14-2004 09:43 PM

Hey.. does anybody know if the guy that played the 6-fingered man is the same guy that plays the Viking that wears black in the 13th Warrior? I could probably look it up myself quite easily, but where's the fun in that?

Exactly (really, there ought to be a game like this. I was working on a similar system for something else. It could be addapted...)

I would think stealing the princess from the prince would significantly increase one's Reputation score.

Thank you. I try.

However, Inigo becomes a much better swordsman in those last few minutes. The six-fingered man had him down and out, then he started chanting that mantra and kicked ass, despite having holes in his arms.

In the interest of of enabling pointless debate even though he beats the giant and the tactician he doesnt really do so on open footing. He uses his intelect to bring down the giant more then his strength. As for the tactician, tactics implies that one knew of and planned for a certain case. I do belive he said he built resistance to the poision for the particlular reason of beating the tactician. However, he knew pretty much shows by his actions that he knows pretty much nothing about what he is up against. Thus he could not develope tactics to defeat the tactician. Of course this is a fairytale so fairytale logic states that anything that has to happen for the hero to win is, will, and retroactively has happened even if it could create a plot hole or disrupt continuity.
