Your Winner + Animal Wars suggestions

[Typhoid]

The mighty and powerful Birdcat soared through the competition with relative ease, undoubtedly earning it's place in history next to the mighty Crabbernaught.

Though some would argue the Birdcat had an easy route, going through the likes of the Spring Heeled Jack, Banshee, Chinese Dragon, and finally the Leviathan, it finished atop the pedestal nonetheless.

Congratulations, Birdcat. You deserve it.




Also: If this is to continue (If you don't like this continuing, say so) I was thinking of going back to Animal Wars, with user submitted contestants, which I will randomize and yadda yadda.

[Professor S]

VICTORY!!

Typhoid, if it would have been a tie, which one would you have gone for?

I guess I'll have to read that Leviathan book to easy my sorrow.

[Teuthida]

Typhoid voted for the birdcat. And Yoda showed up after not posting for a month and voted for the birdcat as well. Something is fishy...and it's not Levy the Leviathan either. He's off moping at the bottom of the sea, drowning his sorrows in whale blubber.

[Typhoid]

Typhoid, if it would have been a tie, which one would you have gone for?

Like I did with one of the major votes last time, I would have taken whichever argument entertained me the most.

Recount please.

Sounds good to me.

I nominate the aye-aye.

The sea pig will win

[Teuthida]

I still dry heave at the sight of a sea cucumber. Worst tasting sea creature I've ever eaten. Somehow I keep finding myself eating one every few years thinking it can't be as bad as I remember. I'm always wrong.

[Bube]

I think we should have a Best Game Ever thing like GameFAQs does every year. We could finally come to a conclusion on GT's favorite game :)

[ZebraRampage]

I think we should have a Best Game Ever thing like GameFAQs does every year. We could finally come to a conclusion on GT's favorite game :)

I don't know..I know it would fit the forum..but everyone knows it's going to come down the the typical games. It'll be a Zelda game, or a Mario game, or a Final Fantasy game..or a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head..but you know what I mean. The same thing happened with that music one we had a long time ago. The older music came down to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin..not really a big surprise.

[Bube]

We had a music contest? Really? I never remember that!

To be honest, I was thinking the same things when I said that. But still, I think that the real fun in these things is the road to the final, the match-ups in between.

[Teuthida]

I don't remember the music contest either.

We could do plants...or fungi...or favorite 15 letter words.

[BreakABone]

Well, BaB voted for the birdcat. . .





We know his methods

I have never rigged a vote on GT yet... :shifty:

Naw, but won't touch these.

[Angrist]

Maybe movie wars?

And I like Danny's plant idea. Much.

[Swan]

Maybe a video game villain battle?


Or even just like typical video game bad guy battle.


Like goombas and ghosts and the ever popular rat

[Typhoid]

Video Game villian/bad guy wars would be pretty neat.

Start suggesting a list of characters.

It could be called "Evil Wars" or something.

[Swan]

Hmm

Sephiroth, Bowser, Ganon, Revolver Ocelot, Vergil(DMC3)

Just a few off the top of my head

[BreakABone]

Joker
Wario
Ramirez
The Prophet

[Swan]

I wouldn't put Joker on the list seeing as he is primarily a comic villain.



Sure he is in video games but not primarily a video game villain

[Angrist]

Starcraft's Kerrigan.
Warcraft III's Arthas.
Zelda's Vaati maybe.

Maybe Combine017 knows something? :p

[Teuthida]

GLaDOS
King DeDeDe
Doctor Robotnik

I wouldn't put Joker on the list seeing as he is primarily a comic villain.

Sure he is in video games but not primarily a video game villain

Aw, so no Mr. Big from Michael Jackson's Moonwalker then I guess.

[Dylflon]

Remember the character battles I used to host years ago?

And then a bunch of people got mad because the Dog from Duck Hunt made it into the semi-finals.

[Bube]

GLaDOS
King DeDeDe
Doctor Robotnik

There's no point in making a villain contest anymore. Glados wins.

[The Germanator]

Remember the character battles I used to host years ago?

And then a bunch of people got mad because the Dog from Duck Hunt made it into the semi-finals.

Yeah, I was about to say that we've already done a lot of these characters before...

[Typhoid]

Then we'll stick with animals.
Simple problem, simple solution.
Animals are more entertaining anyways.

Submit contestants now.

[Angrist]

Awe come on, go with plants man.

Cactus
Cannabis (though maybe not a fair contestant)
Sequoia (Redwood)
Bonzai
Stickyweed
Liana

So many cool plants.

If we're doing animals:

http://www.hethobbelpaard.be/winkel/images/PA-55003.jpg
You wouldn't include it in monster wars. :(

[Typhoid]

A dinosaur is technically an animal, so yes.

[Teuthida]

Ooh, if we can do extinct animals then...

Indricotherium (the largest land mammal ever)
http://s3.amazonaws.com/lcp/first_corner_of_anita_bokeron/myfiles/elephant.indricotherium.human.jpg

[Typhoid]

See, I think nothing extinct should be included, then it'll be a slippery slope of wave after wave of dead animals. And nobody likes that.

[BreakABone]

The portia spider.

It hunts other spiders and uses a different style of hunting for each meal that is crafted based on each and every prey

[Angrist]

See, I think nothing extinct should be included, then it'll be a slippery slope of wave after wave of dead animals. And nobody likes that.Or: 'And everybody likes that.'
So let's do an Extinct Wars. We've already done animals before...

But I can see where this is going ;), so I'll nominate the dolphin.

http://9gag.com/photo/8526_full.jpg

[Ric]

...Bonzai...

Bonsai is a method of growing trees, not an individual species of tree. You can pretty much 'bonsai' any tree, I am growing a Bonsai Giant Sequoia now as it happens ;)

A Wallaroo

:lol: I always knew it as a Wallabie or Wallaby - Never heard it called a Walleroo before.


So anyway, are we decided? Are we having an Animal Wars? Or are we having a 'decide what wars to have wars'

Here are my choices -

http://www.wildphotolife.co.uk/latest%20shots/slides/Golden-ringed%20Dragonfly%20110709_4.jpg
Golden Ringed Dragonfly (This is my number 1 if all the others are not considered, that is why I have been species particular rather than just saying dragonfly)

http://zoltantakacs.com/zt/im/scan/reptiles/19804-120.jpg
Gecko

http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/natural/insects/_images/stick.jpg
Stick Insect (I used to have some of this species as pets, this one is the female)

http://viewfromtheisland.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/golden_eagle.jpg
Golden Eagle

http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/9.jpg
Poison Dart Frog

EDIT:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Portia.fimbriata.female.-.tanikawa.jpg
The portia spider.

Oh and I am with Swan on that one. A spider eating spider.

[Swan]

Or: 'And everybody likes that.'
So let's do an Extinct Wars. We've already done animals before...

But I can see where this is going ;), so I'll nominate the dolphin.

http://9gag.com/photo/8526_full.jpg

Dolphins fucking suck

[Teuthida]

Unless it's the pink Amazon river dolphin.

Oh wow. I never saw one in motion before. It moves just like a bird.

[Typhoid]

Ric, it's Animal Wars.


Angrist, Dolphin has been changed to Pink River Dolphin due to hilarity.

I was wondering how you managed to post the same thing I posted. I thought you were backing me up on the jerboa :)

[Typhoid]

Let's get some more suggestions here, people.
Less insects, no genus, specific animals. If the animal you give me is an animal type, I'll arbitrarily pick one that it describes.

[Bube]

The Portuguese man-o-war

http://www.beachhunter.net/images/thingstoknow/jellyfish/j_keller_DS_MOW_cocoa_bch.jpg

[Teuthida]

A bit confused. So no genus, but rather species specific yes?

Jackson's Chameleon (I know we had chameleon in the last one....but it has horns...like a mini coloring changing triceratops)

http://www.easternarc.org/posters/ReptPost/ReptPost/2.jpg http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/EA2185-001.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=E71A629F3945C5E84E9F4BD007213DB66529E79887609E4F

[Typhoid]

Yes, specific species. For example, Swan said Portia Spider. Portia Spider is not 1 spider, it's a class of spiders that share hunting method in common.

I'm already a total fan of the Man-O-War.

List complete, bracket to come within a few days.

[Ric]

If the animal you give me is an animal type, I'll arbitrarily pick one that it describes.

In that case, if you chose Gekko, I will be species specific and choose the Leaf Tailed Gekko

http://www.stanford.edu/~siegelr/madagascar/madagascar2007/IMG_1343%20leaf%20tail%20gecko%20eye.jpg

http://www.stanford.edu/~siegelr/madagascar/madagascar2007/IMG_1378%20leaf-tailed%20gecko.jpg

If of course you did choose it and are willing to edit your list slightly ;)

Otherwise I would like to reserve it for a future Animal Wars

[Angrist]

Then I'll go for the tree tailed gekko:

STD WARS!

AND INTRODUCING......
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CGD6p83DL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
SWINE FLU!

let's do it.

[D.Edget]

What does person A, the owner of the animal, have to say about this?

[Combine 017]

Why hasnt anyone banned that guy yet?
Although I suppose thats the least spam-like thing he has ever said so far.

[Dylflon]

Is it weird that I didn't realize there had been a new animal wars until right now?

[Combine 017]

Why yes, that is weird.
Arnt you the one who wanted a new one in the first place?
