Question 21. This one was difficult, because of course both should be allowed to talk. If not both talk equally much, is there then a good reason? If only the host or only the symbiote talks, then it's bad!

Jacob/Selmak: The host does the talking on the Tauri, but my symbiote is most likely to speak among Tok'ra and on missions
Martouf/Lantash: The symbiote would do all the talking when we pretend to be Goa'uld. When dealing with humans the host is mostly the one talking, though the symbiote also talks sometimes.
Anise/Freya: The symbiote is usually the one talking when we give the Tau'ri information, but the host will assume control from time to time to make sure they don't get the wrong impression
Jolinar of Malkshur/Rosha: When we are on missions and pretend to be a Goa'uld, the symbiote does all the talking. With our mates we are equally likely to speak. In dealings with humans the host may be more likely to talk.
Samantha/Jolinar: When pretending to be a Goa'uld the symbiote would be the one talking. Otherwise it would vary.
Jalen: My host is shy, I keep trying to get him/her to talk, but mostly he/she just likes to fly the alkesh.
Dr. Raleigh: It depends on the assignment. I'm good at authority while my host is better at keeping us in our place.
Egeria: When pretending to be Goa'uld the symbiote would be the one talking. In dealings important to the Tok'ra, the symbiote would often be, though the host would also sometimes be.
Kelmaa: In official capacities I (the symbiote) usually do the talking, but when we're among friends, my host is a chatterbox!
Per'sus: My symbiote has the stronger communication skills but my host is free to jump in when he/she needs to.
Sina: When visiting the Tau'ri, I'm in full control because my host tends to want to crack up laughing at inappropriate times.
Korra: The host, mostly, but the symbiote talks on missions and such.
Ren'aul: My symbiote does most of the talking out of habit but he/she sure has a lot to say about the different Tok'ra sporting leagues.
Garshaw: Usually the symbiote talks, but the host will sometimes talk, to offer a more friendly viewpoint to the Tau'ri, or to explain something to them.
Ta'seem: My host takes a backseat when I need to focus and when on official business. Even then, however, my host is helpful for keeping me from saying anything that might be taken as offensive.
Ocker: The symbiote mostly speaks in all important matters of the Tok'ra, and in dealings with strangers, like Tau'ri or Jaffa. The host and symbiote are equally likely to speak when we are at home.
Lord Khonsu of Amon Shek: When pretending to be Goa'uld the symbiote would be the one talking.
Zarin: I, the symbiote, usually do the talking.
Aldwin: I am the host, and I am always the one talking
Delek: I am in control in all matters important to the Tok'ra and when we deal with the Tau'ri, and on missions.
Malek: I, the symbiote, always do the talking
Thoran: I, the symbiote, always do the talking.
Kanan: I surpress the host totally, so it is always the symbiote that does the talking.
Tanith: This host is an idiot, he has nothing to say that does compare to my superior knowledge.

OK. Let's look at those Tok'ra that is undecided picture-wise.

Sam/Jolinar. This is how people voted:

5/photoshopped
1/4/photoshopped
4
4/photoshopped
3
4/photoshopped

There are way more for 4 and photoshopped than for the others, so I suggest we pick those two as winner and backup. They have the same amount of votes.

These are the pictures

4.


Photoshopped (apparently I can't post the picture but only the url - is there a reason for this odd rule?)

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...Continuum1.jpg

[Skadi]

Martouf/Lantash.

Picture 1 --- 1 vote
Picture 6 --- 1 vote
Picture 7 --- 2 votes
Picture 8 --- 2 votes

Most votes for 7 and 8, so we could just pick those two? They are, however, relatively similar, so I we would maybe want one of the others for backup? This would mean we need more votes to distinguish the choices. Actually, 6-8 are quite similar - and 7-8 are with Lantash in control

Repost of the four that got votes

1.


6.


7.


8.

[Skadi]

Aldwin. He got votes all over the place. Though 2 for picture 5, so I guess we could pick that. Those that has not votes - please, would you vote? Then we can pick one/two of them.

Picture 2 --- 1 vote
Picture 3 --- 1 vote
Picture 4 --- 1 vote
Picture 5 --- 2 votes
Picture 6 --- 1 vote

Reposting 2-6

2.


3.


4.


5.


6.

[Skadi]

Freya/Anise:

Picture 1 --- 2 votes
Picture 2 --- 2 votes
Picture 3 --- 1 vote
Picture 4 --- 1 vote

So picture 1 and 2 for winner/backup.

1.


2.

[Skadi]

Delek.

Picture 1 --- 2 votes
Picture 2 --- 2 votes
Picture 3 --- 1 vote
Picture 5 --- 1 vote

Again, picture 1 and 2 has more votes, and we can pick those for winner/backup.

1.


2.

[Skadi]

What do people think? Should we pick those pictures for Sam/Jolinar, Martouf/Lantash, Anise/Freya, Delek - or revote? In each case there are two picture that got the same amount of votes, but no pictures that got a lot of votes.

We need to revote on Aldwin...

[MerryK]

I am too busy to formally vote for pictures right now, but I liked the smiling Martouf/Lantash one and the Sam/Jolinar one with the pink headdress. Sorry I can't do more...

[nebulan]

Photoshopped (apparently I can't post the picture but only the url - is there a reason for this odd rule?)

because it is kinda a violation of the actors to paste their heads on other actor's bodies, I can see that. I got a lot of grief when I posted my Vala/Jonas manips a while back because people those I had pasted jonas' head on other guy's bodies, which I hadn't. I was greatful for the compliment, I didn't think my manips were that good, but insulted that the moderators were so ready to believe mine accuser.

they're here if you want to see them: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...alamiscshippy/ (now I'm just linking cuz it's off topic, haha)

sorry I didn't get to the quiz yesterday, maybe today after work... (running late, lol)

[RogueDragon]

Neb's asking for my opinion on pictures, I tend to prefer, when using images to represent and individual, ones looking more at the camera. (not always though)

Dalek--er Delek I'd say #2
Aldwin 5 or 4 (2 is def too dark) (3-5 the glow effect is too cool!)
Anise - 2
Martouf/Lantash I think would be better with a more neutral expression to represent the both of them.

okay, Neb, I'm confused, what else did you want my opinion on? I REALLY need to rush off and go to school!

[CaptJanson]

Hmm...revoting...

Martouf/Lantash:8
Aldwin:5
Anise/Freya:1
Delek:1

nebulan - I think your manipulated pics of Vala and Jonas are great!

-and I don't get that it's a violation to put another head on someones body. I'd be flattered if someone cared enough to do something like that!

[Snotr]

Already voted? OK:

Martouf/Lantash:8
Aldwin:5
Anise/Freya:1
Delek:2

[Hathor_girl]

Martouf/Lantash:7
Aldwin:5
Anise/Freya:1
Delek:2
