NFUN 12/03/21 9:22:12 PM #3 | Here are my noms (for now). Try to keep yours spread out in terms of tier if possible, or at least make them interesting Phantasy Star Online 2 Shiva Video Game High A copy of the Akashic Records, and as such, is extremely attuned to psychic powers. She can absorb most non-divine magic and can hold her own against deities if prepared, though she has no innate resistance to unenhanced physical attacks. Very angy. Dragonriders of Pern Thread Literature Medium A mindless fungus-like creature that seeks out organic life. If it reaches habitable ground, it will burrow itself and spread rapidly. Contact with it causes similar symptoms to burns as it digests the flesh. It doesn't burrow terribly deep, as little life is found more than a few meters beneath the surface, so toxic chemicals and intense flame can generally kill it in local regions. It enters the arena falling from the sky towards a viable patch of earth. A Clockwork Orange Alex Western TV/Film Low A cruel sociopath who is incapacitated and nauseated by thoughts of violence. --- Kneel... or you will be knelt |

NFUN 12/03/21 9:19:30 PM #2 | Here's the scenario we used last year: The game is simple. The two* listed characters are placed in an (imaginary) location with a variety of (imaginary) environments, kind of like a picture in a child's schoolbook that describes different types of geological features. Within a ten mile radius, there is an (imaginary) urban downtown, exurbs, plains, snow-clad mountains at the edge, dry plains, etc. Fighters start wherever is most appropriate for them, but feel increasingly compelled to seek out their opponent and fight. Strong-willed fighters can try to hold out in their chosen environment for longer... eventually, all will succumb and actively search for the other to battle. There were issues and I'm very willing to take feedback from last time. Please let me know what you think should be changed. I'm definitely going to be chiller so long as people are acting in good faith and paying attention --- Kneel... or you will be knelt |

nt Has this ever happened to you? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/6/9/AAcM16AACp9p.jpg Do you want all of the fun of arguing with internet people for hours about which fictional characters will win in a fight without all the bullshit? Well you should probably keep looking but this'll do for now Welcome to the nominations for the second sesquipedannual King of Fighters (NOT MERCS) Simulated Battle League. Here you can nominate your favorite characters and later vigorously debate which would win in a fight. However, not like Mercs. Please God this isn't Mercs. For now, you may nominate up to three characters (a cap that will almost certainly be raised later). Please specify their name, their source, a guess at what tier they should be in Low, Medium, High or Broken (for comparison, John Wick, Batman, Goku/Superman, and God would fit into these tiers, respectively), and what type of media they're from (eg, Western TV/Film, video games in general, Manga/Anime, etc). You may also submit an image (preferred if they're very obscure) or I'll find one for them, and it may not be flattering. Importantly, submit a description of the character's powers/abilities and weaknesses so we know exactly what we're dealing with. If the character only has superpowers in the Chalkzone, please tell me that we're in the Chalkzone, because by default we're not.

NFUN 11/30/21 11:22:03 AM #323 | I can apologize to Roba in particular. Me insulting you was a bitch eating crackers moment, where I unfairly singled you out for frustration of the group in general The reason that comment specifically irked me a lot was that there are a lot of obvious reasons why people wouldn't like Ink Long Dry. I'm not trying to tweak your nose again by saying you're dumb by not knowing those reasons or anything, it is just not a song you'd expect a given person to like. Which is the problem I had with people constantly reiterating how much they hate it. Of course you hate it! It'd be something almost redundant to state had the group as a whole only mentioned it once. It's a very niche song, clearly, and the converse of most people hating it means that only a few people like it. Everybody likes seeing the songs they love do well, and even if they don't win here, if you know a song is popular, you know it's popular, which is comforting. Attacking a song that much fewer people like over and over, a song that by default you can expect a ton of people to say they hate, is kind of kicking people while they're down, rubbing their noses in it. I don't know if anybody was particularly emotionally invested in ILD here specifically (I'm bothered by the principle more than anything), but in general, it hurts a lot if you have something very niche that you love that doesn't get as much appreciation elsewhere, and then even here it's derided. It can make you lonely in a way that having a famous song you like attacked can't replicate, and that's something to really be careful about. --- Kneel... or you will be knelt |

I said I didn't like Ink Long Dry (twice, over a week apart, always after its match) and apparently that act was so heinous that people were voting for it solely to own the haters, as well as mocking anyone who doesn't like it.no, the issue was that "i don't know music theory enough to say why i dislike it" is a ridiculous comment. we all said that you weren't incessantly whining about it like other people. and sergio likes it (and more than its opponent), he just voted in the match rather than abstaining because of how much it was getting dumped on --- Kneel... or you will be knelt |
