Debaters Tournament Round 3

#1 Posted by Strafe Prower (11535 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

It's been 2 years since the last round, so I thought I would bring this back :) Basically, We will nominate 16 users than randomly generate matches. We will keep going until we have a winner. Please try to nominate the best of the vine!

Rules:

  1. You may nominate two users. You are NOT allowed to nominate yourself.
  2. Once the rounds are set up, you may vote for who you believe the winner would be (in a debate) and if you choose to do so, elaborate on why. If you say why, keep it polite.
  3. There is NO debating against each other in this thread. You place your votes, and wait for the next rounds. If you have an issue with someones vote, PLEASE discuss it in a PM with them. I want to keep this as friendly as possible and avoid having it locked. So again, NO commenting on how others vote in this thread.
  4. Once 16 users are nominated, I will create the tournament in random order. I will literally write down the names, shuffle them, and randomly select them. Yes, I am that lame.
  5. We are looking for newer users. Anyone that has been nominated in the past 2 rounds are not eligible. Round 1 and Round 2.

I'll start of the nominations by nominating beatboks1 and god_spawn

Lets nominate

1. Deranged Midget

2. ShootingNova

While there are few who are as good, or sometimes even better, these are debators i have debate alongside or against most often, and totally deserve respect. :)

I vote Floopay and CadenceV2.

So we have to reach 16, how many have we reached thus far

1. Beatboks1

2. God_spawn (thats so unfair for anyone who is pitted against him :p )

3. Deranged Midget.

4. Shooting Nova

5. Floopay (granted not the best debator on comicvine, certainly someone who easily a 4+, but without a doubt one of the most popular ones even including vets like Beatboks1 and God_spawn, Floopay does deserve a lot of respect)

6. Killemall (the most awesome debator in comicvine :p )

7. Jashro44

8. Strider92

9. CadenceV2

Ah 7 more to go .

@Killemall: Beat you to the punch :P

To Everyone: I think CitizenBane, Super_SoldierXll, and Lvenger deserve a nomination as well. If only I had more XD

#9 Posted by ShootingNova (9435 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Strafe Prower: Oh..... right. Lvenger then, since you said so.

#10 Posted by Killemall (13438 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Strafe Prower: dammit, i kill you :p

while CitizenBane is or rather was an awesome debater, he left the site about 3 months ago after he felt Erik was unfairly banned and Morpheus_ left. Do we still nominate people who are no longer active?

Lvenger totally deserves a nomination but i am not familiar with Super_SoldierXii .

Ah darn it! Lvenger is indeed an incredible debater. It's a shame I can't have another vote.

@Killemall: It's up to you if you want to nominated a retired debater. As long as they weren't in the last 2 rounds, they are eligable.

Super_SoldierXll is great. Look at the Captain America vs. Hawkeye, Gambit, and Cyclops thread for a debate I had with him (and god_spawn for that matter)

#17 Posted by Killemall (13438 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Strafe Prower: Oh he is more into street level, that explains why i do not really know him because i know more about herald level character like Thor, Superman, silver surfer, Thanos and the likes. Streetlevel isnt really my strong point and i normally avoid such thread (why get involved when you know your knowledge is extremely lacking right).

He, apparently, isn't even interested in returning to the forums, so if we nominate him, will he try to debate?

Not that I have anything against him, he is an excellent debater and Viner overall, so he totally deserves respect.

#19 Posted by Killemall (13438 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

this is an interesting thread, we should make one where we decide who among the debtor would win in a trolling contest :p

Indeed.

Also, I hate you for voting me.... I'll totally fail this!

#21 Posted by Killemall (13438 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@ShootingNova: I am sure you are regarded very highly as a debator and a potentially awesome troll if and when you decide to be, :p

#22 Posted by ShootingNova (9435 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Killemall: And then I'll get stomped in a debate.

I dont think you will, unless you get pitted against God_spawn, but i think most will have the same problem.

@ShootingNova: Also add to the fact that now you have skyfather as your icon, thats a big power boost mate :) dont worry.

Not likely, as he has moved on to another forum now. Luckily, this tourney goes by votes and there is no debating required :)

Agreed.

@Killemall: LOL. :D

@Strafe Prower: Just out of curiosity, what forums does bane go to? He was the best guy when it came to comics recommendation .

#28 Posted by ShootingNova (9435 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Strafe Prower: So after we nominate 16 guys, we keep nominating till we finish, or we debate against another of the 16 until it's the last one standing?

#29 Posted by Strafe Prower (11535 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Killemall: Comics Ledger

@ShootingNova: We nominate the 16 users, then we vote based on random matches. For Example:

Vance Astro vs. k4tzm4n

Silver2467 vs. JediXMan

There is no actual debating, just voting based on who you think would win a debate.

#30 Posted by ShootingNova (9435 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Strafe Prower: Oh, right. Ok, thanks.

#31 Posted by Killemall (13438 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@ShootingNova: Also you can say whoever doesn't vote for your favor gets whacked by Zeus lightning, that should add at least few votes on your favor :p

#32 Posted by ShootingNova (9435 posts) - 6 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

@Killemall: Haha LOL.

I guess you'll kill anybody who doesn't vote for you, that way nobody can vote against you LOL.

Since all of these would have been my prime choices

Dedmanwalking and Citizenbane. I would have gone either Sherlock or Revamp next (hint hint)

I think you missed my nom last page (dedmanwalking and citizenbane). that would now make it 17 with the noms of lvneger and acidskull you added after.

Cool. Its not about envy, from my understanding this torunament is about honoring top debtors (i.e. God Spawn, bad luck to whoever is put against him), and promoting the kind of behavior a debtor shows. While we all respect Bane, there are few if any debtor truly better than him, and he deserves all the honor he can get, its hard seeing how that promotes a guy who's already left the forum to continue that behavior.
