Poll: Eggman or Robotnik?

[cgride555]

Robotnik. Thats how they introduced him, and those were the only good sonic games.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

Since they were Oval.

EDIT: Or if we are being fancy and Oblate Spheroid.

Oblate sphereoids arn't oval shaped. The Earth is an oblate spheroid (like someone squished it a bit).

 

[wewontdie11]

I've always called him Robotnick and shall continue to do so!

 

[Jirlond]

If a person is "rather" intelligent they could be a genius. It's literacy rather and slightly are too different words.

here is that sites definition of circle:

1. A plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center.

Simply what you copied and pasted from the first meaning of round just said differently. Even if you look at the accompanying sentence for a in round which is "a round ball" a ball is a sphere which is a 3D circle.

Eggs are still round my friend

Ah my mistake in putting "slightly", as I said a day without sleep...

BUT as you seem to be quite the fan of the written word, I would just like to bring to your attention the word "equidistant"... The curvature of an egg is not equally distant from the centre!

I believe that we are done here, and you have learnt something new... Yay for you, I however have gained nothing other than more sleep deprivation!

I believe that you are ignorant in the face of your peers and refuse to see the countless evidence posted by myself and saikanoto and take one line from one page as entire fact. Despite the countless arguments from the same source (and others) that state otherwise.

Equidistant is used to describe equal distance on all sides and dimensions - this is true for cirles and balls, this is not true for all round objects. You would describe a cylinder as round - but it is not equidistant.

Ergo you have learned something but refuse to acknowledge it.

Still it is fun.

Go sleep ^_^

Actually I didnt come back to this one line... you did, now that I brought to your attention that you were wrong you dont like it and are no longer attmepting to debate rather call me ignorant to the masses. If I went to a mental institute and EVERYONE there thought they were John Trevolta I wouldnt have to concede that they were John Trevolta!

This one line is the only argument that supports your claim. It simply states that round can be used to describe perfect circles or perfectly round objects, not that it is it's only use.

I am very far from an idiot. I simply understand the meaning of the word round, sans corners.

I called you stubborn because your did first

I didnt call you stubborn ever and you called me ignorant first! If we are going to be calling each other words that the other said first then this is truly a bigger waste of MY time than I have already deemed it to be.

And no, simply no... just look again at the evidence I put forward.

I have and again I will stick by my proof that the accomanying sentence describes a perfect spherical shape in which your argument is true! In all other examples and definitions outside of this your argument is false.

Time and time again you have been disproven that any object outside "equidistant" proportions is round.

Ugh, thats absolute bull-sh*t. Every point that you brought up I disproved and YOU moved on to something else then we got to the part where you ditched it and called me ignorant.

Oh and remember when you said that I said you were stubborn first and you were wrong? And now you ditched that and moved to something else straight away? Hahaha, good times that happened one comment ago.

Also, have you heard of a show called QI? Have you seen the episode where Stephen Fry talks about Christopher Columbus? And how he didnt think the Earth was ROUND, he thought it was EGG SHAPED? You see that there, how round and egg shaped are clear differences to Stephen Fry? A man of much greater intellect than (I dare say) anyone on this thread!

Stephen Fry simply reads what is on the cards, a smart man without a doubt, but not all of that show is his knowledge. Christopher columbus was trying to disprove peoples belief the world was square, fry tried to find the easiest way for the public to understand the comparison between a circle(what we thought christopher columbus meant by round) and an egg(what he actually meant by round).

Actually he only reads from the cards when it is in relation to "buzzed" answers and reading questions watch and you will see how often they go off-topic and how rarely he looks at the cards... especially after the first 2 series when he no longer needed to hold up a card for a "buzzed" answer.

Oh, and people have believed the Earth to be round since as early as the 13th century.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Robotnik sounds infinitely more villain.

Exactly.

Yes, much like an... oval? *gasp*

A perfect example of an inverse ad hominem [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem#Inverse_ad_hominem].

We have given you enough evidence that a normal egg can be accurately described as round so if you continue to argue your case based on belief rather than fact, then I guess there is nothing we can do to sway you.

In the old one he was Robotnik for building al the ridiculous robots and in the cartoon he was part robot but now he is eggman for looking like egg.... i think

You know the show isn't live right. He also has a little screen and he obviously knows what teh questions are, he simply thought that this was teh best way to discern that the earth was not a circle. You are the only person here who cannot understand the simplicity of the term without corners, and anything that does not have corners round describes. An egg does not have corners

 

[Skeleon]

You people are mixing up 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional definitions.
An oval is 2-dimensional, thus, the Earth is not an oval.

And a show being live has what to do with a fact being false? Also he never stated circle(although I see how you would link "round" and "circle" together!), he did however state a difference between round and egg shaped. Also, no. In a piece of that evidence that I put forward saying a face is rather rounded which you took to mean round... though a face can most certainly have corners!

Really? I dont remember stating anything trivial about Stephen Fry. Simply that he was more intelligent and those were his words, 2 pieces of information that were completely relevant.

A face can also be round and still not be a circle (since faces still are 3-dimensional).
Face it (heh), round =/= circle.

I guess I have tried to argue that an egg is round I shot myself in the foot. I lost all sight of other things round - egg on my face *ba dump bish*

 

[Internet Kraken]

Dr.Eggman sounds like someone who should be in a McDonalds kids commercial.

 

[Skeleon]

In my view, round includes a lot of different shapes, both 2- and 3-dimensional. Circles, spheres, ovals... they are all round. Round is like a higher-level category that includes all of these.

I know I'm repeating myself, but while circles are indeed round, not all round things are circles.

Robotnik, as it certainly sounds more nefarious than Eggman.
I mean, he does build vast armies of robot minions.
He doesn't throw eggs at you.

 

[Spineyguy]

I am the eggman.

They are the eggman.

I am the walrus, coo coo cachoo.

Also, Eggman is such a stupid name. Robotnik sounds much more evil. In Sonic Adventure he wants to destroy station square and biuld "Robotnikland, the ULTIMATE city. Where I shall rule it all!"

All you have to look at is the pronouncement of 'ultimate', the bad grammar and appalling lack of originality in the name to conclude that this dude is obviously AWESOME!
