Imagine the Fan favourite taking on a minotaur just by himself
That's every Zombie's job anyway to stand up to big guys! He doesn't need FF to take a pounding!
And all this talk of keep him and do wild stuff with him for fun, I'm assuming you mean for the entertainment of my opponents while I lose a lot?
If it was a closed, table top, league I probably wouldn't cut him, as there would be a fair amount of entertainment/roleplay value to be had from him. But in a large, open, online league there is not much whimsy to be had unfortunately. It is a lot harder to get as emotionally invested in a bunch of pixels, especially when online banter is... well ... online banter is usually non-existent most of the time to be honest.
I'll be honest and say I was bitterly disappointed when I was told my prize had to go on a Zombie. There was nothing in the tournament information about conditions on who gets the prize and I assumed it would be allocated the same way as for the Spike Magazine Trophy: the player with the most SPP. So I totally resented this Zombie for waltzing into the team and running of with the fan's affections and have been predisposed to cutting him from the off.
So yeah, I hate the guy and he has no strategic value so I cut him two days ago. I was a bit worried that it might be ungrateful, but at the end of the day he's not a gift, he's a prize I had to win. And I did think hard about it! Plus we've started a discussion in the relevant forum so that future prizes are more worthwhile.
