LM Classic: Yraelz vs. feverish

Monkey ===== My opponent still does nothing to address monkey's substantial powers. I point out multiple powers which prove Monkey as being on par with gods. I also examine his ability to defeat the heaven's armies. In response my opponent merely gives two instances in which Monkey was temporarily bound, bound by other gods. I don't think this ultimately answers any of my argumentation or proves monkey to be sub-god as he is bound by gods. However my opponent clearly posts a link in which Sentry is beat back in mere moments by those who are not gods. Ultimately the fact that Monkey can clone himself over 50,000 times is pretty damning for Feverish's "not a god" argumentation. Street level ======== That all being said I think I'm still winning this street level argumentation. My argument is that my opponent had every ability to compete with my character set and purposefully chose not to. Thus I am articulating that he purposefully did this in order to gain an easy win. I would tell the judges that this is the antithesis of having any kind of meaningful debate. Additionally I would say that this is a strategy that should be condemned on debate.org. I think this is particularly appalling in the light of the fact that my opponent even had a clear advantage over me as he knew my characters and could utilize any plus street level character to combat them. Furthermore my opponent shows little true cause as to why my team should be disqualified. His argumentation is merely that I break rules. But insofar as the rules in and of themselves are ambiguous and easily debatable I would argue that this is not a great criterion on which to judge this round. Instead the judges should focus on how much choices in the round inhibit a fair competition. My opponent has not been inhibited in any way. Negative one second ============= I haven't once changed my position on this point. Sentry's very being is such that he travels a second ahead of the normal time line. He is always one second ahead, he never travels further than a second nor does he travel less than a second ahead of the timeline. Thus he never travels in time. Furthermore he reaches the beginning of the battle one second ahead of everyone else. In other words he reaches the time where everyone else starts one moment ahead of everyone else. But he never travels through any time to get there. Neither does he time travel nor start early. He starts at the designated time, he just got there quicker than everyone else. Sentry ==== Yeah.... my opponent is right, Sentry achieved his powers by consuming a serum. However his powers are that of a million exploding suns. These two things are not mutually exclusive, both ideas can be true. As the wikipedia source points out: "Middle aged, overweight Bob Reynolds remembers that he is the Sentry, a superhero whose "power of one million exploding suns" derives from a special serum." To beat a dead horse..... Sentry's powers are those of the sun..... Dracula is rather weakened by a single sun..... Sentry possess the powers of one million suns..... Dracula is incapacitated if not dead. Furthermore my opponent agrees that Dracula could only act after identifying Sentry. Unfortunately Sentry, who we've established moves faster than light, would never be noticed by Dracula. Furthermore Dracula would be bound, and would not be able to see a thing. Thus Dracula is done. Next, my opponent has taken the time to address a main point of my strategy which has not been touched for the last two rounds. Hard light constructs. Feverish argues that Sentry would have to make calculations in order to find team Con and bind them. Unfortunately, for my opponent, this is not true at all. Let's reconsider what I said in ROUND 1: "Thus Sentry fills the entirety of New York city, except for the immediate vicinity of team Pro, with blinding monstrous light. It should be noted that this stops team Con from seeing, but Sentry can create hard light constructs. This means that the lights acts as an impenetrable barrier which literally bind anyone inside of it." Put simply: Sentry fills entire city with light except for a small space. This light is hard. It stops movement within it. Team con is frozen. The strategy progresses to say that Sentry then channels light directly from Monkey into Black Alice's eyes so she may see him. Thus she steals his powers. And the strategy ends with team Con being impaled by the hard light which surrounds all of New York city, except for the vicinity of my team. My point being, Sentry never even has to locate team Con to use the first step of this strategy. He never has to do a mental calculation. This has been my position since round 1. Black Magic ======= My opponent states in his last round that Dracula uses black magic in order to manipulate other's minds. This is a mistake..... "It is black magic that allows Dracula to manipulate minds, 'black magic' is a literal translation of the word necromancy." Look to my round 1 where I state: "Sephiroth on the other hand simply casts reflect on everyone except himself. Reflect reverses negative magical effects after the original casting." Any magic used against Sentry will be reflected back on the user. Dracula, as he uses black magic, could never mind control Sentry. Monkey's ability to see ============== My opponent argues that Monkey can see through things other's cannot. This is true. I argue that Sentry can do things that other's cannot. This is true. My opponent seems to think it therefor follows that Monkey can see through ALL things other's cannot. This would be like me saying that Sentry can do ALL things other's cannot. In other words he can immediately kill everyone in this battle and I win. My opponent's logic on this point does not follow. The goggles of seeing ============== Team con's heat sensory equipment is not calibrated to see through light or heat generated by multiple suns right on top of them. I stick with my argument. They can't see. But it's really pointless as they are already bound. Forgotten ====== My opponent does nothing to combat the fact that there are many different hard light constructs that looks exactly like my characters. I think this posses a problem. The battle ====== Assuming for one moment that all of my actions go haywire it will only be Sephiroth, Black Alice, and Sentry vs. all five members of team Con. I've established that Sephiroth and Sentry are quicker than light. Sentry starts the battle by binding everyone outside in hard light constructs, the positions I've maintained since round 1. Sephiroth casts reflect on Sentry and Black Alice, the position I've maintained since round 1. Sentry creates randomly located hard light constructs which look like team Pro around new York. Black Alice steals Sephiroth's powers. Black Alice looks through light redirected by Sentry to steal Monkey's powers. Black Alice then rips her hairs out creating many Black Alice. (These points were untouched last round by my opponent.) Meanwhile Sentry leisurely locates team Con with his ability to hear things from far away. A claim which he himself made but had no reason to lie about. Upon locating them Sentry slices them to peaces and impales them with hard light, that's assuming they haven't already died due to the supreme heat generated by the light of a million suns. Should anything above fail the black alice army and Sephiroth would show up perhaps 3-5 seconds into the battle to obliterate the powerless team Con. Black Alice would enjoy sucking each character's powers out and in turn crushing their powerless bodies. At the end of this debate my argument is simple: My opponent hasn't addressed enough of my original argumentation for my team not to get a dominating edge at the start of this battle, even if I'm harshly handicapped. Thanks for the time!
