I am epic

Alright, that really wasn't the kind of response I was expecting, but I'll do my best to debate this issue. First off, we need a definition of the word "Epic". Pro has failed to present one, and I really don't want to start a definition war, so I will provide one just for my argument, I'll give Pro a chance to give the definition he is using. (OFF TOPIC POST) Now, what is an Epic? An epic is a long poem about either a certain hero, or a victory of sorts. In the old days, before written language was a large component of human day-to-day life, stories were passed down the generations in the form of poems. Some of these poems were extremely long, taking hours to recite at a time. Eventually, these poems were converted to written word, and the name "Epic" Became attributed to it, coming from the greek work "Epikos", which meant "Song" or "Poem". The greek word most likely originated from the ancient, written language of "Koine". But, alas....a lot has changed since the ancient times, so I will apply a definition that most likely suits what Pro is saying. (BACK ON TRACK) In this case, I'm assuming that he is using "Epic" as in he is great, or powerful. This is the definition that I will apply, although Pro can post another definition that I will use, if he prefers.So, for now... Epic= Great and/or powerful. (Callout to Vi_spex...) Con said: "Now, it is undeniable that debating is epic. If you didn't classify it as epic you wouldn't be here on the site. Debating is subjective and therefore it is up to me to interpret whether or not it is epic. Now I propose the following syllogism for my first argument" I agree that debating, according to the definition I have given, is quite epic. It is debates that change the course of the world, influence public decisions, adjust religious ideologies, etcetera, etcetera. But, just because you do something that can be epic, doesn't make you epic. Such as...let's say war is epic. If you lose a war, you were technically doing something "Epic" (Keep in mind, still using the definition that I had provided, so...) You participated in the war, and lost. Just because you lost, you are not "Great" or "Powerful." So, just because you participate, does not mean the "Epicness" Can be attributed to you.Con said :If debating is epic (according to my own subjectivity which is fine since epicness is subjective), then people who are good at doing epic things (ie. debating), are epic people. Agreed, people who are good at doing Epic things should be considered epic. Since we are assuming that Debating is Epic, let's look at Bala Cafa's Debate record, it's pretty impressive! (1)Con Said: "Contention 2: I have epic statsMy stats on this site are epic. That is undeniable. With my 51 won debates on only 4 losses [3]. My win ratio is at 92.73% that is extremely high in terms of looking at this in regards to the number of debates that I have participated in [3]. My elo is above 4000 making me very close to being on the second page of the top debaters [1,3]. I am truely epic based on this. My percentile is 99.66% bringing me extremely close to the top debaters [3]. "Balafaca, at the time I am writing this, has a total of 68 debates. Balafaca has only lost 4 of them, tied 13 of them, and has a whopping 51 wins against the communtiy on debate.orgComputated against me, with 5 losses, 4 wins, and 7 ties, it seems he is the more "Epic" one. But...I'm not arguing for my right to epicness, but...against Balafaca's epicness. Well...let's look at the ammount of them that are "Easy" wins. Or, the ones that you are most likely to win. Because...beating someone who is not "Epic..." Shouldn't be considered epic!I will be using my own system of “Easy” “Average” and “Hard,” Labeling each debate along the way. (Forfeits will count for easy, unless the person debating Balaclava had personal issues to attend to, in which case I will label it as a neutral. Keep in mind, I am counting “Easy” debates as people who have not used sources for their arguments as well.)Total “Easy” Debates: 52………..I would like to point out that the majority of Balacafa’s debates have ended in either a forfieture, source check (Failed to provide valid or any sources), grammar check, and random statements mad by the opposer; Sometimes a clear win resulted in a tie due to lack of community voting. I have included a list of all of these debates, that he claims make him “Epic”. He contends that he has beaten the best, when it was a forfieture that gave him a win. (2)Now, I wouldn't use this one as a win, but let's look at his win against Whiteflame. (2)The debate was forfieted, and wasn't finished, so the end result wasn't decided. Looking at it now, both sides had good arguements, but Whiteflame most likely would ha Since nobody won, considering his experience and Elo, and community bias, Whiteflame would have probobly won. Therefore, his Forfieture should not count as a win. (Also, the system didn't even count it as a loss..... It seems to have glitched) (3) Pro has said that he works for the governement, and has provided no evidence that he does so, because the link he used is broken. Pro said: contention 4: OccupationI work for the government [3]. I get to influence decisions and I also get to make decisions in various parts of the UK. I have a lot of power and even more responsibility. In order for me to successfully use this power and responsibility, I must be an epic person. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________Now, I have a fairly short arguement to make. Since Balafaca says he is epic, I will hereby disprove him using the age he listed on his profile. He claims to be 43, so his area of influence would therefore be 43 lightyears around him. This is the farthest any Photons, waves, or particles could have traveled due to events he as caused since his birth. There are around 130 stars in the area that this encompases 50 light years. 130....(4) Due to this, and his influence of stars, the total percentage that he affects on all the stars in the universe (The percentage in which he affects) is about 130/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5)...or 1.43e-21%. (000000000000000000143%)..... I turn it back over to Balacafa to define "Epic" and to refute my arguement.
