Werewolves vs. Vampires

I accept the rules that my opponent has set. However, before I proceed onto my arguments, I would like to put three more rules that I did not put in round 1. Rules: 3. Vampires have an extra ability that I did not previously mention. This power is the ability to not have to breathe for long periods of time. 4. There will be no hybrids of monsters (i.e. half werewolf half vampire, half human half vampire, etc.). 5. There will be no otherworldly creatures that will participate in this war (i.e. demons, ghosts, etc.). Now I shall proceed with my arguments. 1. There are more werewolves than there are vampires [3]. There is actual proof that there are more werewolves than vampires [4]. Now, the two articles that I have provided state that vampires do not exist; however, for the sake of the debate we must assume that both vampires and werewolves do exist. So, how does this relate to there being more werewolves than vampires? It’s quite simple, really. Vampires require human blood to survive. Every time they bite someone, one of two things will happen. 1a. That person will become a vampire. If this scenario happens, then we will have two, not one, vampires. This process will continue until there are more vampires than humans. If this is the case, then there would be no humans, there would be only vampires. Therefore, we shall discard this scenario, as it simply disproves the existence of vampires. 1b. That person will die. If this scenario happens, then people will take notice of the death. After all, people shouldn’t die randomly for no particular reason. The vampire will continue to feed every day at different places, killing one person after another. People may not notice what is going on if only one vampire is doing this. Now, let’s take this to a global scale. If there are several million vampires in the world, then we would have found out long ago that vampires exist. Millions of people do not mysteriously die every day. In fact, only 146,000 people die every day [5]. Another source states that 154,889 people die every day [6]. Of course, sources vary as to how many people die every day, but it is somewhere between 100,000-200,000 deaths. Thus, millions of vampires cannot exist on this planet; otherwise, there would be millions of deaths every day, not thousands. Only a couple thousand vampires (at the very most) could exist on this planet. This number should estimate around 30,000-50,000 or less. Since vampires only have a population of 30,000-50,000, werewolves have a definite advantage in numbers. Millions of werewolves could exist, since werewolves do not require human blood to survive. Instead, all they need is normal human food when they are humans, and meat from animals when they are werewolves. Older and more experienced werewolves can change into wolves whenever they like; thus, they don’t even have to be a werewolf at all and can survive simply on human food. As you can see, there are definitley more werewolves than vampires, giving werewolves strength in numbers. Speaking of strength . . . 2. Werewolves are stronger than vampires. Werewolves have the combined strength of a man and a wolf, giving the werewolf what you would call, “super strength”. Vampires, on the other hand, simply have the strength of a normal man. Strength is a key component in war. If your warriors are physically weak, then they are unlikely to win in a brawl. However, if your warriors are strong, then they are more likely to win than lose in a brawl. In addition, strength is important when lifting up heavy objects, weapons, and fallen comrades. Werewolves can accomplish these things with ease whereas vampires would have a harder time doing it. 3. Werewolves are more intimidating than vampires. This may not sound like a good argument to you, but this might just be what will win the war for the werewolves. In real war, people use dogs frequently because they create fear that not even a human who is armed can inflict [7]. Romans used psychological warfare as well, and it is one of the reasons they are considered one of the most powerful nations of all time [8]. They were extremely succesfull in war and crushed their enemies under their feet like they would with bugs. Therefore, having a psychological deterrent is extremely important. Let’s also take into consideration that this is monsters vs. monsters. Whichever side is even more scary than the other is probably the side that is going to win. The vampires moral will plumet once they face the rath of the werewolves. I have proved how fear is an important factor in war; however, I have not shown how werewolves are scarier than vampires. Let’s look at the physical appearance of a vampire. They are usually thin, scrawny, and extremely pale, like they’ve been playing too much minecraft. The only scary thing about them is their fangs, but when you put fangs on someone who looks like a nerd, it’s just comical. Now let’s evaluate a werewolves appearance. They have long, sharp fangs and huge, hairy bodies. Let’s not forget a werewolves claws that can tear anyone it pleases to shreds. In addition, the sounds that a werewolf makes are much scarier than that of a vampire. Werewolves snarl and give deep, booming barks whereas vampires just hiss like boiling water. Werewolves also have the eyes of a wolf (obviously) that spell one word. Death. It is quite obvious, as I have shown, that werewolves are definitely more intimidating than vampires. Even when a vampire is about to kill you, all it does is try to bite you with it’s puny fangs. On the other hand, a werewolf is trying to rip your guts out and tear your head off. I hope that the readers see the difference. Conclusion: I have shown how werewolves have strength in numbers. (There are millions of werewolves vs. thousands of vampires.) I have also shown how werewolves are physically stronger than vampires. Lastly, I have proved that werewolves are much more intimidating than vampires. I am already enjoying myself and I hope by the end of this round my opponent is also enjoying this debate. With that said, I hand over the next round to my opponent and wish him luck.
