This is NOT a vs. thread. Just wanted to get that out of the way quickly. This is a logical debate-type-thread-thing.
The rules are simple (this is a game, after all): Find three awsome things. I don't care what they are. Book, game, movie, torture device, yourself--whatever. Three. Got em'? Good. Now let's compare. Way this works, is you list your chosen vessel of awesomeness, and a short argument of why it is awesome.
Actually, argument might not be the right word here, seeing as we aren't really arguing. Give me a noun. Got it? A noun. That's your argument (I.E. Bioshock-- Big daddy). Keep it short and simple. I mean really short. Your 'argument' is not allowed to exceed two words in length. Alright then. This'd be a game me and my geeky freinds were playing yesterday, and it worked pretty well then.
Once you assemble your team of awesome things (Only three mind you, but you can edit your lineup), slam them out onto the board for critique and conflict. You can assert yourself against another team, or against everything in general. It doesn't really matter. This might wind up as a massive fanboy clusterf**k thread, in which case I'll make sure it's locked. Understand? No blind fanboyism. Your argument must be valid. you toss both opposing sides togther, and the judges decide the logical conclusion (we'll need two, by the way. Just tell me if you want to sign up)
In case I'm not describing this properly, let me provide a sample mosh pit:
______________________________________________________________________________________________
TEAM ONE (the cool kids)--------------------------------------------------------------TEAM TWO: (the less cool kids)
Shadow of the colossus-- one word: Colossus----------------------------------DEMIGOD-- one word: Rook
Bioshock-- Two words: Big Daddy----------------------------------------------------------HALO: Two words: Master Chief
Gears of war: One word: Chainsaw--------------------------------------------------------Overlord--One word: Minions
JUDGES' RULING:
1. Colussus = Rook
2. Big Daddy> Master Chief
3. Chainsaw< Minions (Subtext: HOLY SHIT! IT"S GOT A CHAINSAW!)
WINNER: TIE
______________________________________________________________________________________________
...I hope I made that clear. Subtexts are posted by the judges for reasons of comedy and clarification, if they so wish.
The way one goes about challenging another team is much like what is illustrated above: Your name, your team, against The opposition's team. One judge quote the post, and by method of PM session, decide which team is best suited for victory (it is also in said session that they decide who posts it). Any of your 'arguments' can be used against any of your opponent's.
...God, I hope this wasn't a bad idea. Don't hurt me. Or maybe we'd all just better eff on off back to Genre Wars...
MY TEAM:
Overlord-- One word: Minions
Bioshock-- Two words: Big daddy
Assassin's Creed-- Two Words: hidden blade
NOTE: Who wins is based solely on coolness factor and fanboy preference. Make a note of that.
NOTE 2: It should also be noted that I'm already a judge.
