PremiseSo let's play a game, a pretty common forum game, but I like it. We're gonna do a 'who would win' debate. I'm gonna name two fictional characters ((Or organizations)) who I think would be interesting opponents for each other. You guys are gonna pick a side and debate among yourselves to decide who would be the winner in such a conflict. As thread creator, I'm going to sit back and take a neutral role, sometimes the role of devil's advocate but mostly acting as referee. After a certain amount of discussion, let's say, 5 pages, I'll decide which side I think has the better argument and declare a winner. After that, another person can suggest a pair of opponents and we'll start this all over again but with that person as the new neutral party.
All sources for information on the characters is permitted, this means fan wiki's ((Provided they're sourced)), novels, games, films, television shows, plays and the like. Anywhere you can pull citations for your argument if someone asks for a citation is permitted.
RulesFirst of all, we need to lay some ground rules. Topics like this can obviously get pretty heated after a while so to avoid that here are our five main rules:
1. Be polite and civil
2. No personal attacks or intolerant comments
3. Stick to the topic
4. Stick to the facts
5. If you're feeling heated, take a step back, a few deep breaths and come back when you've calmed down
If any of these rules get broken to a significant degree or we drift too far off topic, I'm gonna declare the thread closed and abandon it and let the mods do with it what they will.
In any case, let's get this started with a classic one!
