Some great cases put forward. Elspeth’s case warrants consideration in that people do seem to be attracted to danger; although I’m not sure Maximus will be developing any sort of redeeming features on his march toward power – or oblivion.
So I reckon a very close finish but the win by a nose will be 210 Darryl’’s response re Palpatine being totally evil with no redeeming features but a great character. Thanks to everyone that responded.
Congratulations Darryl you can contact Paul to arrange for the posting of your book. forstr(at)internode(dot)on(dot)net
