@robbybevard:
I never said it'd be hilarious to see a turtle catch up to Zoro. NEVER. I said i would be fun to watch how crazy the campaining for the turtle got when he was guaranteed to lose by a huge margin, of probably 200 or so votes at least. (I've expected all along the final tally to be approx 300-100 in Zoro's favor)
Its fun to watch what people do to get a vote for the turtle trying to get him as high as possible. It was never in the plan to get 200 votes for the turtle, let alone get votes away from Zoro or even to beat him. That was never what this was about. (not for me anyway)
It was never about Zoro. This would be exactly the same if Kuma or Ace or Luffy or Kid were the opponent. This was about seeing how well a goofy turtle could do under the worst possible circumstances, which is of course, a Strawhat. Its how many votes can he get thanks to awesome and funny campaigns? Not how close he can get or if he can actually win.
It was obvious from the outset this would be a landslide in Zoro's favor, and I can root for him in the SECOND round, when things are a little more serious and he might actually be up against someone hard. This tourney is going to go for a few rounds, and barring strawhat vs. strawhat in round 2, most of the crew is getting free rides all the way to round 3 or 4. They can be supported then when they need it. In the meantime… have some fun with it all!
To those who've been campaigning for Banchi actually expecting him to win... REALLY? That was REALLY your intent?
Voting for someone just to make a tournament exciting that I think whats bugging the people robby…
Some victories have been made by that fact alone and some may come in the future and people will hate it when their favourite character loses just because some people voted the opposite for the LOL
Richie won because of it...Urugue won because of it...those two didnt won because people would like them more but because people were joking around...
What some of the members of Arlong park want to say to you robby is...
You can have fun without stomping on true fans faces, which is what some people are doing when the character they supported for lols wins over a character others support because they like him.
**I think AlinaJames reaction to Kizarus loss was overreacted but if you take away the mask you can see she is in her own way right and that the character she was cheering for, she loves and many others have cheered for and loved was beaten by Urugue not because more people would like Urugue but just because of LOLs…
By joking around with it they have partially killed the fun of Alina James and others, not intentionally but still
It is like in the real life when you can have fun as much as you want to and perhaps your way of fun is great for you, but can trash the fun of other people...
That is why I believe everyone should just cheer for the one who they like for whatever reason not because of spite, just to fool around and so on...
But yeah it has been said over and over again in diffrent ways and probably people on two opposite sides just wont understand eachother in the end. Never the less I tried, just incase you wonder WHY...
Its not that they take it too serious, its just them explaining their views**
