Okay, since there's been so much arguing and such about this, I propose that we have a contest, where the first person to say anything bad, even imply anything bad, about Sony or Nintendo, will be banned for 3 days. This also includes saying something good about one of the brands in a topic about the other one. The contest will continue until everyone banned as a result of this has been unbanned.

If you want this to happen, but with a lesser consequence, then say "Yes, but..."


KC: Yes
Genesis: Yes
lappy512: No
myscrnnm: Yes

But who gets to be the judge of what's "implied" bad about a company?

Yes, but I think that the first person to say something bad will get a 10 day ban plus a 200 point fine (since I don't participate in these discussions about gaming companies anyway. Its a big waste of time.)

No, it's silly to do this; banning one person beacuse he is a fanboy.

Hey! I had an alternative idea for a punishment. Could you include that?

Pfft, easy. I have lots to say without negative renforcement, unlike myscrnnm.

EDIT: Yes.

whoops, howd i get logged in as KLohn?

Well myscrnnm keeps pestering me to ban the fanboys permanently. I figure that this is a pretty good compromise, especially considering that myscrnnm could get banned if it turns out that he was being hypocritical. Also, if it's agreed to, then it's all good. Right? And it might calm down some of the burning hatred.

This seems more like a punishment than a competition. What do we WIN?

The satisfaction of proving the fanboy(s) wrong.

In most cases, it would indeed be silly and childish. But here, it is the Nintendo-fanboys who are immature and childish, so justice must be served.

Oh, the hatred will always be there. I don't very much like people that don't admit they are wrong, and I'm too far into my "evil master plan" to do much about it.

@myscrnnm: Oh yeah, and there's a particular Sony fanboy that is immature and childish as well.

I doubt it. If a person is supportive of Sony, they must be mature. Let's look at it logically:

If I support Sony, then I am mature.

I support Sony.

We can conclude that I am mature.

Ahaha, that's one of the most childish things ever. There's a term that psychologists use for this, and it is illogical logic, or something along that lines. Children at five years of birth supposedly has their logic fully developed (which means no illogical logic), but I guess they made an exception. It shows how immature you really are, especially when you have the ego to call yourself mature.

It is not illogical logic. It is excellent logic. Otherwise known as material implication.

No, it IS illogical logic, just ask any respectable psycologist.

No, it is actually logical logic, and is supported by material implication, as I have already said.

Genesis is right. Let's analyse it (not that it'd take much analysis, obvious as it is)



Logically, if both of the first 2 statements are true, then the 3rd statement is also true. However, you just pulled the first statement out of nowhere. You pretty much just made it up, nothing to support its validity or anything.

Also, a 3-year old could be a big fan of Sony.

Also, Genesis and myscrnnm, I would request you to please stop fighting about Sony/Nintendo/etc in topics where it is not meant to be fought about. You guys have already completely destroyed the games topics...don't do that here.

Just because you are young does not mean that you are immature.

This doesn't work: If you are young, then you are immature.

If this boy likes Sony, then we can deduce that he must have at least some maturity.

Immature and young are synonymous.
Meanwhile, you have no proof that liking Sony means that you are mature.
Also, it's a 3-year-old! What maturity could he possibly have? He doesn't even know what Sony is.

A three-year-old's mind is not mature, why, it's scientifically impossible, unless of course you've pumped the child full of growth hormones.

You're going off-topic.

Anyway, I think that there should be no bad stuff about Sony, period.

I agree, Genesis is

So, what do you think about fanboys?

I am not the brightest bulb in the class...what is a fanboy? Don't make fun of me!

He extrememly admires some product, a extreme fan, etc.

So is it kinda like me and chess?

Or ME and chess.

Immature-exhibiting less than an expected degree of maturity
Young-being in the first or an early stage of life

Again, you underestimate the abilities of young people. Just because a person is three years old does not mean that he/she cannot comprehend what something is.

Yeah Mynck your'e just immature and young!

Lol, now myscrnnm has turned you against mynck too?

I was not an integral part of it. I mean, it was bound to happen.

Notice that I said he doesn't know, not all 3-year olds don't know.

Still, how do you know that this three year old is how you portray him to be?

Because he is fictatious, he is defined the way I portray him to be.

No, we shouldn't ban people for opionions, even if they're myscrnnm's.

Woah, this is a really old topic, it should be either passsed or rejected a long time ago. I'm not even sure about the vote, mycnk should say if it's passed or rejcted

Why do you say it is really old, when did it start....

greater than 3 days ago...

The proposal is passed, since (Even if gamemaster_268's vote is counted) is 3:2, favor for yes.

Woah, oops.

Ok, the vote is 3-2 for the competition, meaning that it's passed. It'll start as soon as our Odyssey vs. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou essays are due. (23:59:00, October 19, 2005 PST)

Yay!

Er, you can close this topic now.
