I'd be able to accept your arguments a lot more if you just admitted to this fact, rather then acting like these are two characters getting undeservedly snubbed. These are two clear joke nominations. I have no problem with joke nominations getting in, but I do take issue with people claiming these are a legitimately well done rivalry. It is a great game, and a well done rivalry. That isn't the main reason people are nominating them, but it is true. Have you actually played the game?

voltch 09/26/11 5:11:00 PM #211:	Tranman's side showin more sense, too much waah-waah from the Barkley guys in this topic. Besides, if SBallen allowed that pair in he'd prolly just stick it against Cloud/Sephiroth. Sure he's let in a lot of jokes in previous contests, but trying to recreate the L-Block magic is coming across as lame, in the past few contests it feels like people are just trying to push a joke too hard and then claim credit if it does well. I have no problems with Bacon changing or altering the rules from past contests, there's a precedent, the results may have been unsatisfactory and now he's modifying them. He's changed formats before and now he's changing some of the nomination process. Nothing wrong, remember when we had a company cap? Good change there, just gotta see what works. I mean we did have some of the best contests under Bacon and some bad ones. But hey you guys wanna cry so hard about that you'll nom Hitler? ha. -- Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS <cite>voltch posted [p:387987] in Bacon: ...

Dark Young Link 09/26/11 5:18:00 PM #217:	Actually, let me ask you this. What makes Barkley/Jordan a "joke entry"? What qualifies as a joke entry in the first place? As for the "whining", people are just expressing their disapproval of this decision that doesn't make much sense to them. The "it's just a contest" logic falls flat on its face when you realize that if no one took the contest seriously at all, there wouldn't be nominations in the first place. Making a topic saying "Nominate [blank]" is essentially taking the contest seriously. There is nothing wrong with taking the contest seriously. There is nothing wrong with taking something you enjoy seriously. No one has yet to take things too seriously. -- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] <cite>Dark Young Link posted [p:387993] in Bacon: ...

LeonhartFour 09/26/11 6:15:00 PM #240:	I personally don't like joke entrants in the contest to begin with because they'll either bomb horribly in round one or they'll get some sustained outside rally. Neither of which make for fun contests for me. If having joke characters makes a contest fun for you, then I'm sure you really enjoyed the amazing contest GameSpot just ran. Oh no, I actually care about seeing legitimate results, I hate fun because legitimate results between legitimate characters is one of the things I enjoy most about these contests. I actually want to see if Mario/Sonic is legitimately strong enough to beat Cloud/Sephiroth. I don't care if Barkley/Jordan gets into the contest because it's funny for the few seconds I first see it in the bracket, and after that, I don't care. -- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:388016] in Bacon: ...

The argument is typically that a joke character as a rule of thumb should not beat a non-fodder character. Yes, Missingno and L Block broke this assumption, but if you're going to have one on one matches, this is (typically) easily controlled. If you're going to complain about Mudkip, don't complain that he made it in, complain that his opponents were Pit/Tingle/Luigi (almost any pokemon would have advanced here). If Allen didn't want it advancing, he could have put it in a match it couldn't win (hell with Link and some random midcarder would have been fine). That's why CATS is a perfectly fine joke.
