King Kandy's Super Tourney!

you did good, but it seems like you gave up after 2 or 3 posts. I know a lot of fights get really boring, with pages of people basically saying "I KO'd you", "no you didn't", "yes I did"... but there was still a huge array of options available to you for most of Gundam's attacks. You have Dr. 'efing' Doom, the king of versatility.

The only reason Gundam would get a W at this point is that you did little to make it seem like you were fighting back. Hes had you playing catch up the whole match, and you never really made a counterattack.

also, don't ask things like "couldn't doom's magic counter that", or say things like "the best I can hope for", argue that the best you could hope for [b]IS what happens. For instance: "Doom was strong enough to potentially be the Sorcerer Supreme, he disrupts the magic with his own" or "Doom's shields are more than enough to hold against that attack". The point of these isn't to look like you are able to see the logic of your oponent's posts, but to argue in such a way that your logic seems better than theirs. Any good debater can make it seem like their arguments are good, and by "conceiding" all the points Gundam makes, you essentially let him set the pace of the match, and it is impossible to win in that case.

my 2 cents at least [/B]

And I know about the "can he" vs. "he can" this but for some reason i'm nitpicky(yes I just made up a word) like that.

Thanks.

I hear you, but the thing is, this is a debate, not a discussion.

discussions are much more likely to get at what is "true", and so, being understanding and humble is a good practice, and knowing when you are wrong is essential. In a debate, these things make you look less sure of the argument you are supposed to be making.

Big C - You could always use non-canon sources and just hope nobody notices. I did it once. 😈 ...though to be fair, it was kinda to see if I'd get away with it, not because it was a big part of my plan.

BBZ - Don't give your opponent an inch. Act like your cock is so huge it knocks holes in your opponents' plan even when you aren't erect.

Blair - <3 ...I knew about Persuader, and no plan is foolproof, but thanks for the entertainment. You rarely disappoint.

Paraphrased from something Scoobless told me once (minus the part about reproductive organs). I was a bit wishy-washy occasionally in debates originally.

Scoob's a drunkard. He has an excuse.

You, on the other hand.

Where's Leonidas when he's needed?

that kid pops in and out (pause) of the versus forum every now and then, but he should be here for this kind of stuff

doom is basically "evil" batman, and with him he's never really seen as helpless or without a plan of sorts, doom even more so (imo, and in many others).

but to be honest, knowledge of doom is key, just like ironman. you can't just rely on basic power-set.

Is it too late to enter this one? If so, how long till the next one? To me doesn't matter what tier except squirrel girl level.

Kandy: what size is the chunk of NYC we are fighting in? and how high into the sky would the arena go?

So what happening to my match kkandy?

And redrafting an option for round two?

As far what Digi said: Thank you

And

No redrafts.

Is leonidas a judge for this tourney? He should still be around enough for that. And since his wisdom is apparently more sought-after than my own ( uhuh ), he could help out the noobs as well.

yeah, that would be nice. He had a big role in helping me become a better tourney debater (primarily, he was my benefactor that allowed me to enter the big leagues in DG's tourney).

Apologies for leaving the match stale thus far.

Life has been super busy, all the final tests/assignments for class being so shoved into the last weeks before finals start. Additionally, my dog suddenly became very ill over the past week and went into cardiac arrest this morning... 🙁

Anyways... I'm becoming an e-mail machine, and as soon as I get business shit out of the way, I'll give Inamilist the proper match he deserves.

Sorry again. This has been a poor showing for me thus far this tourney.

In other news:

KMC Skins: Star Wars Black is way cooler than I thought. I had been rocking KMC Blue up until this point. Yay for change. mmm

EDIT: but it makes smilies look odd. This will require further contemplation.

the i isn't capitalized, but otherwise no worries man, take your time, there seems to be a lull in everything thus far, and life takes way more priority (sorry to hear about your dog, good luck with finals and all that)

Why is the i uncapitalized?

it is the second letter of the word. The M is just decadent and superfluous. (honestly, I just like it better that way)

also, it gives me a reason to be a grammar nazi when people actually do take the time to use proper punctuation. Flip the script on them, or what have you

facepalm

pfft, you'd be just as concerned if you made up a cool word
