Richard, because, let's face it, the McNeely arguments are BS.He wins even if he loses, now let's clear the clutter up.

It is, in fact, not BS. Haguile posted a cute little link that can provide you with what Dan McNeely can do. Which is far more contribution than any of the Richard backers have given so far.

But using bad writing as a power source is going too far.

Why? It's practically a MPFC tradition at this point. <_<

Nah, this crosses the line. Seeing every single dumb argument you could think of in the span of eight matches has kind of ticked me off. You can fanboy vote for McNeely, but don't insult my intelligence or that of the other voters by trying to disguise it with far-fetched arguments that don't even work. The puzzle trick? Richard has an instinctive ability to solve problems that borders on getting the solution handed to him right when he starts. The compelling voice? He's faced charms before and resisted them. Shooting him with bullets? Not only does he have bullet time and all encompassing air shields that can't be penetrated, but unless the shot kills him outright he can either heal himself or kill Dan first, as he basically doesn't feel pain. McNeely being immortal? Getting chucked to the Underworld rings him out and counts as a win for Richard. Deception? He has empathy reads. I don't even like Rahl, but I refuse to let something this ridiculous go down.

And again, just to hammer this home: I don't have a problem with dumb votes, fanboy votes, or whatever else, but don't you dare to have to the gall to break the contest rules and then shove that in my face trying to pretend you haven't. The staggering hypocrisy of the McNeely arguments is out-and-out indefensible and I will not take any chances that might let him advance based on it. Vote for him and move on without arguments if you're going to vote because seeing him win would be 'funny'. Don't try to defend it.

...Crosses the line? Dude, it's a joke.

Now this is what I want to see. What irritates me about MPFC matches lately is that a lot of characters seem to go by ontheir own reputation and prestige without anyone actually laying down the normal chains of events. Matches come down to which side can out-vague the other side where everyone feels they need to preserve a trump card that can be withheld from the topic until needed. Concrete feats are what's needed here, no vague references to what they could do that we have to press to reveal.

When the joke isn't funny, I don't laugh. This is my serious face. An OK joke vote:

"McNeely. Too suave and good at shooting to lose to someone who wouldn't even know what a banana fishing rod is."

A joke vote that pisses me off:

"McNeely can dominate Rahl with his alluring voice, move so fast he won't be able to shield himself in time to deflect his shots, his bible will protect him from subtractive magic, and be unaffected by anything Rahl throws at him because he's immortal."

Care to guess why the first vote is kosher and the second one isn't?

Why? Because Dan is also an idiot (as well as a lot of the npcs in the game lmao). The girl also took the drug (he said so himself) yet he thought he could just shoot her and be done with it. Also why offer her the drug again if she already took it like he said unless it has to be taken multiple times Wesker style etc. Sure he could have been lying but why waste the effort on the act then (unless he just wanted someone to bang). Another reason the bad writing could be used against him is how the hell could HE not notice SHE had a shotgun etc in a cutscene (gameplay sure but whatever).

Yet so far you seem to be the only one actually willing to contest this train. We all know it doesn't work, but you know why it doesn't work. Anything that's revealed in the early topics can be used in the later topics, saving us lots of time for the big matches. And nobody else seems to really care.

Besides dude, you're faced with Dan McNeely. With a 1 seed. Seriously.

you have no right to get angry at people for using bad arguments when you intentionally withhold the information that shows why those arguments are bad

All we know is that he somehow escaped from within the safe in the bottom of the ocean unharmed and made it to a deserted cursed island. I hope Monkey Island is referenced. Somehow.

Yes. Because you have a bad sense of humor.

Kidding. Relax, bro, people have different senses of humor. If you get that upset over people finding different things funny then I don't know what I can say to you. I figured you would see people were joking and even if you didn't think it was funny you would go "well, okay. Not like it's gonna matter." Just relax. Welp, it's your contest and your rules, so don't worry, I'll stop arguing for McNeely.

...But seriously, relax. You sound so angry over this.

[quoted text]

I would laugh so hard if the next game(they are making a fourth one) came out and said "yeah he made up the whole thing and she believed him."

You allowed GANON into the tournament, and you're just now worried about joke votes?

From: Pirateking2000 | #089
lol I am sorry but people who are voting for Dan atm haven't watched the video and deduced that Dan isn't really tough. if anything he is like Wesker minus superpowers (even that comparison doesn't sound right). Plus his own "bad writing" powers if people are counting also work against him as he is also affected by the "moron effect" from the series. =P

From: MrSmartGuy | #094
I feel like any kind of confrontation between the two would just end in a stalemate. Both have insane defensive abilities, but the best one can do is manipulate and shoot the other, while the other is really, really good with a sword. It's just that Dan is immortal, and Richard can physically stop anything. I think I'd give the manipulation the edge, simply because it actually has more than a 0% chance of working.
