I really don't like being called a liar, by you or by Kan or really by anyone. It's not my fault his writeup does not reflect his true power. It was made before I read the final translated chapters. And, let me be clear here, I wanted to give a new and revised writeup but Kan won't have it because he thinks I'm a liar.
I'm not calling you a liar. I am, however, not giving speculative powers to somebody in their writeup.

Except that the huge debates and high votes are a result of people basically coming up with BS due to the nature of the character. The Host's entire character in this contest is literally that you can vote for or against him based on whatever half-cooked retarded logic you can come up with, and you can't be wrong or right because basically everything about him is subject to interpretation in the context of MPFC. You can say that he'll think it's funny to win based on this, or that he'll think it's funny to lose based on this, and you can't be wrong with either. That is not interesting. That might get you high turnout, but it's completely stupid.
And no, that is not remotely how other characters work. With other characters you have powers and personalities and such that, even if you're just making a specious argument, it has to at least have some basis in reality. With the Host, no, you can just throw all that into a giant dumpster and say "he wins/loses because it's funny". What is that? That is nonsense. You want to say it's led to high turnout, sure, but it sure as hell wasn't interesting to watch.
Except if this is what you think, you (and like half of the people who voted for Zero last round) totally forgot about that long-winded explanation on how The Host operates. I don't blame you though, understanding a difficult concept without a tl;dr bottom line is kinda hard.
