If given a choice between Nina UN and Old School UN I'd vote for 
the Old School one.

I suppose the reason I think Old School UN works is probably 
because he's terrible and mentally ill in all the right ways.  
He's just a more fun to write.  And can characters like Sarcastic 
Lad talk smack about Nina UN without it feeling like they're 
punching down?  I don't know.  From my perspective, Ninja UN just 
seems like a very hard character to write.  Old School UN is just 
way, way easier.

And don't think its the whole gender ambiguity thing that I'm 
having a problem with.  I think Fuzzy would probably be a better 
choice for leader probably she seems a bit tougher and at times 
more terrible.  Nina UN feels a bit too nice, too mentally 
stable, too insecure to totally work as the Ultimate Ninja.  And 
I have to think that maybe people like Cheesecake Eater Lad 
should probably be troubled if their ultimate goal is to make 
Nina more like the Ultimate Ninja.  But I don't think nicer more 
mentally stable Ultimate Ninja really works as a character.

That being said the people who are still writing LNH stories 
should probably have a bigger say in who the LNH Leader is.  My 
LNH writing output is near zero and if Old School UN became 
leader again it would still be next to zero.  I mean I'm sure 
there are great stories to be told about Nina UN.  They just 
don't exist in my head.

Thinking a bit about who would be the best character to lead the 
LNH long term, I think it's still Old School UN hands down.  I 
suppose it might be fun to see other characters for short amount 
of time like say a J. Random Kiwi, but for long term I think Old 
School UN is still the best.

So, I guess my nominations for this new LNH Leadership Election 
are:

Old School Ultimate Ninja
Fuzzy

And I would love to hear some arguments about why other 
characters would be better than Old School Ultimate Ninja for the 
Leadership position.  Maybe you can change my mind.  :)

Also Pragmatic-Reasons Lass is not a good choice for Leader (fun 
to see her return though.  :))  I also don't think she'd want the 
job.  She seems more like the type to be pulling the strings 
behind the curtain.
