Richie vs. Zeff
-
-
I only just noticed that Zeff's buttons look like fish!
-
Richie has 100% of the vote right now, and an infinite number of votes more than Zeff. Clearly if this trend continues it will just make Zeff feel bad. We should just close this thing now.
-
Tough choice. I'll need to see some campaigning first before I vote.
-
Zeff for the win.
-
This is a hard choice
@Mugiwara: -
Just reinstating a fact from the first round that may have been forgotten.
Lion L. Richie was also a singer for the Commadores and writer of the cult classic romantic, easy-listening ballad "Three Times a Lady", as well as composer of "Lady" for Kenny Rogers, and also sang a duet with Diana Ross in the theme song for the film Endless Love, all while sporting an amazing fro/ mane.
Vote Richie.

Richie Because He's A Member Of Buggy's Crew!

Probably more information than you ever actually wanted to know about "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
[hide]"Mbube" (Zulu for "lion") was first recorded by its writer, Solomon Linda, and his group, The Evening Birds, in 1939. Gallo Record Company paid Linda a single fee for the recording and no royalties. "Mbube" became a hit throughout South Africa and sold about 100,000 copies during the 1940s. The song became so popular that Mbube lent its name to a style of African a cappella music, though the style has since been mostly replaced by isicathamiya (a softer version).Alan Lomax brought the song to the attention of Pete Seeger of the folk group The Weavers. It was on one of several records Lomax lent to Seeger.[1] After having performed the song for at least a year in their concerts, in November, 1951, the Weavers recorded their version entitled "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the original song's chorus of 'uyimbube' (meaning "you're a lion"). Pete Seeger had made some of his own additions to the melody. The song was credited exclusively to Paul Campbell, a fictitious entity used by Harry Richmond to copyright material in the public domain.
Pete Seeger explains in one recording, "it refers to an old legend down there, [about] their last king [of the Zulus], who was known as Shaka The Lion. Legend says, Shaka The Lion didn't die when Europeans took over our country; he simply went to sleep, and he'll wake up some day." (See "Senzenina / Wimoweh" on Seeger's With Voices Together We Sing (Live).) cf. sleeping hero
It was published by Folkways, a subsidiary of Richmond/TRO. Their 1952 version, arranged by Gordon Jenkins, became a top-twenty hit in the U.S., and their live 1957 recording turned it into a folk music staple. This version was covered in 1959 by The Kingston Trio.
New lyrics to the song were written by George David Weiss, Luigi Creatore, and Hugo Peretti, based very loosely upon the meaning of the original song. The Tokens' 1961 cover of this version rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and still receives fairly frequent replay on many American oldies radio stations. In the UK, an up-tempo, yodel-dominated rendering was a top-ten hit for Karl Denver and his Trio. In 1971, Robert John also recorded this version, and it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. Since then, "Wimoweh" / "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" has remained popular and frequently covered.

Richie will prevail!!!
-
Because a match between Richie and Shou Shou would be incredibly epic, and you know it.
Vote Richie.
-
Do I have to remind you all that Zeff ATE HIS OWN LEG?!?! cause I will.
Richie's got four legs, yet he still hasn't been willing to eat a single one.
-
Go Richie!

i was all ready to vote zeff…then robby's relentless campaigning...
+1 richie -
This match could be good.
-
Ugh tough choice. I kind of want to see Richie go far in this after his epic victory last round, but Zeff is definitely the proper choice…
I'll hold off on it for a bit.
-
Zeff sacrificed his dream of finding All Blue and his life as a pirate to help some random kid he met five seconds ago.
What has Richie done so far? Terrorized poor Shushu then get beat up by Luffy. And then some islanders.
-
ahh… finally a close match...
-
So nobody's gonna post campaign pics/vids for Zeff? I'm still not sure who to vote for. I'm getting tired of Ritchie campaigns already.
-
Go!
Richie!
-
Using Loinel Richie in a campaign has convinced me to vote Richie and this is coming from a Sanji fan. Nice campaigning as usual robby.
-
I'd assumed Dwagon would have showed up by now to start campaigning, but… hopefully later in the day. I'll share some of his round one campaigns in the meantime.
Franky knows whats up. He built the Thousand Sunny in tribute to Richie. Strawhats love the Lion, shouldn't you?
-
Zeff taught the man named Sanji, Vote for Chef Zeff!!!!!

What! Richie led the Buggy pirate crew for a short time. Nearly got cooked alive. Beat two people up while sleeping. Gave us some pretty amusing comic relief in Loguetown. And most importantly, he picked his nose on screen! (that was so awesome that it's one of the only scenes I've ever used in an amv twice)
-
Holy Tie Batman!!
-
15-15
keep it that way and both go into next round..
and everyone will be happy -

Who deserves your vote more?
-
Curses. While I would normally be dead set on preventing another mentor character from being eliminated in this tournament, I can't resist forum-based hype. I'm staying neutral for now.
-
A little campaign for the beloved!
Vote Richie!
-
The second amv I ever made was made to support Buggy and Richie. How could I not pull for the lion of awesomeness?

A vote for Richie is a vote for me to make more amv's! -
You know where all of the adorable little animals Hancock kicks away end up? Richie's mouth. Chopper's next you know.
Save the Chopper! Vote Zeff.
-
Richie FTW!!!!!!!
-
-
Boo at ridiculously huge campaigns that aren't even original.
-
Zeff's got my vote so far. Two things presuading me to vote for Zeff: he saved Sanji's life and I'm tired of Richie campaigns.

Seriously, it wasn't long enough so you had to quote the entire thing so that I had to scroll through it twice?

now i wanna quote it again …
and keep it up robby... -
Zeff will probably win on the merit of eating his own leg. Which is admitedly, really badass, but also the only thing his campaigners seem to have so far.
Richie has a chance of winning out of sheer amusement value and wacky campaigning in yet another narrow epically close up till the last minute match. Richie doing well will make for a far more interesting campaign in the long run.
Unless… you're ENJOYING these boring 90 post, 4 page 350-50 slaughter matches?
Vote Richie. He will lead to interesting times.
now i wanna quote it again …
and keep it up rubby...Who's rubby?
-
Why I can't vote for Zoro and Bentham before =(
but anyway I voted for Richie X3 -
Guess whats better than original campaigns?
The original heart Oda poured into his story
-
Have to vote for Richie, he is the only animal in one piece who wanted to become the Pirate King, he loves his nakma including his captain, and the Buggy side story was good because of him.
-

So I should stop making amv's and just link anime episodes instead?
-
A vote for Richie is a vote for me to make more amv's!
now that blackmailing…
you are playing dirty... -
Oh, you have no right to talk. Mr spam the page with things that were already spamming the page.
/shakes fist
-
Vote Richie. -
I have a campaign against Richie, but it's not really PG-13 material considering the pic is from an M-rated video game. Still leaning towards voting for Zeff.
-
Fun? Amusement? Zeff can do that too.
[hide][/hide]
I should probably get some sleep soon.VOTE ZEFF!
