Ultimate Team War

Pro questioned why nudity gives som31john a +381 female repulsion ability. Mostly to make people laugh. The '381' was an arbitrary number that I thought would give away that I wasn't being entirely serious. The nudity part should have tipped you off. ======= I will briefly respond to each Team Strategy. Then I will offer a few new Team Con Strategies focused on defeating the borg collective because Team Pro has relied solely on the borg's power of assimilation to save his players. ---------- Pro Victory Strategy 1: At worst, the fact that my team is spread throughout planet earth would lead to a draw (if none of my characters sought out Team Pro. The point here is that this is not a winning strategy. If Team Pro were all assimilated into the borg collective and then sat on the borg ship conjuring up storms then it would be impossible to locate my characters among the entire planet of earth. The only way for this to be a viable "victory strategy" is if Team Pro somehow possessed the power to destroy all of Earth. If they possess such a power then that really makes this entire team battle redundant, doesn't it? ---------- Pro Victory Strategy 2: If the Team Pro is unable to construct an impenetrable forcefield then this attack would not be very effective. Team Con could just walk outside of them. -------- Pro Advantage Strategy 1: As I have shown above, Team Pro has yet to come up with a viable victory strategy. The only thing he has going for him thus far is the borg's ability to assimilate the rest of Team Pro. This is illustrated by his falling back on this fact in every rebuttal of my victory strategies. Therefore, if I can come up with a viable way to destroy the borg and Team Pro does not offer a better viable victory strategy then I win this debate. If Team Pro cannot come up with a viable strategy but he successfully rebuts my strategy for destroying the borg collective then this debate should end in a draw. I wish him good luck in his final round. ======== I do not concede that none of my Victory strategies are viable. Since Pro has relied on the borg's assimilation ability in each rebuttal then I will suggest a few methods of defeating the borg collective (including an assimilated invisible woman, Cable, Magneto, and Durandal. If just one of these cannot be successfully rebutted by Team Pro then it can be tacked on to the end of any of my Victory Strategies resulting in a win for Team Con. ------------- Borg Collective Strategy 1: This one is my personal favorite. Logic-Master contacts the original writers who came up with the Borg Collective (Star Trek: The Next Generation); or he contacts the current trademark holder of their likeness. Logic-Master uses his debating power to convince them to a) write assimilation out of the Borg's ability; b) write in the death of the Borg Queen, effectively destroying the collective aspect of the Borg; c) write in the complete destruction of the Borg; or d) file a lawsuit against Team Pro for using their likeness without consent. ----------- Borg Collective Strategy 2: Find and locate the 'Borg Queen.' Since she is the source of the collective consciousness, her death removes the collective conscious. What would then be left is the defeat of each individual character. This could be done by: a) Askbob hacks into Durandal (who has been assimilated) and discovers the location of the Borg Queen. One or more of the group then commit regicide by melting off her organic components with 'Warp core plasma coolant' (http://memory-alpha.org... "First Encounter, paragraph 3). b) Logic-Master uses his superior logic to trick one of the borg into telling him where to find her. c) Brian Eggleston uses his superior charm to convince one of the invisible woman-borgs to tell him where to find her (assimilation is a synthetic implant, therefore assimilated characters retain their gender and species). d) Infect her with a pathogen (http://www.startrek-voyager.info..., episode 2377) which then speads to the rest of the borg. ======== Once again I would like to thank Pro for providing me with the opportunity to debate this topic and have a few laughs. I also thank him for putting up with me despite the fact that this was not the debate he intended. Bravo, Good sport.
