Goblin War VS. Jhegaala

Rules:

Each match-up will have its own dedicated thread. Voting is simple. All you have to do is:

1) name your pick
2) tell us why
3) defend your choice to the death if need be. (Poke them with the soft cushions if you have to, just make sure that all the stuffing is in the point.)

You only get one vote but can continue to post on the thread to debate your selection or convince someone to change their mind.

If you want to change your mind please feel free, just make sure your post is clear.

Please keep in mind the newly implemented point system. The rules as stated above consist of two parts; naming and why. If you simply name your choice it will be worth 1 point; if you give the why then it will be worth an additional point. This additional point will be granted at the discretion of Bookspot Central.

Voting for this match will end around 8:00 PM EST on 3/18. Please look for the next round of voting tomorrow, 3/20.

It pains me to say this because I love the campaign posters, but my vote has to go to Jhegaala, I really enjoyed this Brust book. The backstory of Vlads family filled in a lot of gaps we had in his story, and the new locale was a pleasant change.

You say that now, but that's before you've seen the new and improved campaign poster!

Goblin War because he already fought one dragon and lived to tell the tell. If he loses to this one I'll have no choice but to believe that Jig's entire history is fiction and I just couldn't handle that. If Jig is fake, whats next? Santa, the Easter Bunny, the stork?

Dudes, look at that cover: Jig isn't a goblin...he's a smurf.

Spoiler: show
One suspects, looking at him, that he is Inbred Smurf, but let's not be cruel.

Pah. That's a common goblin skin condition caused by eating too many Smurfs. They're like crunchy blue McNuggets.

Because Jig was full of smurfs I've heard him saying: "I am going to goblin some dragons today. And I am gobling the tournament too".

Jig is not known as the dragonslayer for nothing! Besides, he's cuter. :party0002

Goblin War!

Because I picked it to win in my office pool! Oh wait, that was Memphis, I must be thinking of something else.

Look, Goblin War has its own miniature collection. What can top that???
