Hall of Fame Voting for Stretch
How great do you have to be to become enshrined in a team's hall of fame? This question is now being raised in Ornbarad, where the Sylvan Seekers have to decide if superstar catcher Stretch deserves to be honored alongside the other greats. Stretch was a victim of The Great Haircut, where Malmir's tournament-quality lizardmen retired half the side. As if dying on the pitch were not bad enough, Stretch was only 4SPP away from legend.
The purists say no. You are either a legend or you aren't. If we start letting in players who are almost good enough, we devalue the honor. If we don't draw the line somewhere, what does it really mean? Stretch's supporters point out that this was a player who carried Ornbarad through the tough times after the death of Ophidion. How many rookie wardancers did Stretch hand off to in an effort to rebuild the squad? Is it true that the apothecary decided to let him die, rather than leave the crippled catcher with a smashed ankle? This was the first catcher to captain the side, an unselfish leader who threw himself into the fray, lending his guard where needed.
The choice is yours, fans. Does Stretch deserve to be honored alongside the legends?

Get him in there - I still can't believe you chose rip over -mv! He could have still made it legitimately.

I think letting him be honored in the Legend Hall would be stretching your criteria.

That's the difference between Legends and nearly there ...
As Malmir said, if you had the choice on -MV you could have given him 4 more SPPs then retired him, but I think when you chose death, you sealed his fate of being forgotten.

That's a quitter, not a Legend. Should have taken the -Mv, now he should be shunned by the true legends.

Absolutely 'NO' for the HOF.
Fluff-Wise: Instead of clinging to life & playing on he simply gave up.
That's not something I see as deserving to be remembered.
Unless you want to remember 'quitters' in your HOF?
Also what Duke/ Malmir said.
