noooo i forgot about the dugongs! i can't vote against them! but no way am i not voting for Whitebeard. decisions, decisions, decisions. i love Makino so i'm leaning towards Whitebeard, but campaigns may sway me.

I see Kitsune has brainwashed you quite nicely. :ninja:
Don't you want to vote for the epic old man who saved Zoro and swam the calm belt? Whitebeard can't do that. :ninja:

he's quite a fan favorite on this board actually. he won the tournament back in 2005

i've always liked Makino, i'm just not quite as vocal about it as Kitsune.
yes i want to vote for the epic old man! but i can't decide which one. Rayleigh helping Luffy and the SHs gives him points, but Whitebeard doesn't even need to do anything to gain points. he arrives, and boom. half the people there collapse.

lol yeah I know. Makino gets some genuine popularity boost from the manga chapter with Dadan. :happy:
I think you mean Shanks. Are you referring to in the manga, or the fact that Whitebeard literally has needed to do nothing to advance in the tournament?
Whatever happens next match, it's sure to be an interesting one.
For all the ones who are undecided and going back and forth just wait for the awesome campaigns that I people will provide for either side. ^_^

nope, not Shanks. i know that scene where he floors half of WB's crew. i meant collapse more figuratively, like how everyone went berserk when he arrived at Marineford. i was also referring to the curious lack of campaigns for him so far in this tournament - other than WB vs. Makino, of course.
Ah I see, so a psychological collapse?
Isn't it ironic how a minor character like Makino inspired slightly more Whitebeard campaigns than his other opponents who have had more screen time? Like I said before, nobody bothers campaigning for Whitebeard because all people need to say is EPICBEARD!!!!!!!!!! and he's all set. plus keep in mind that the Marineford arc was going on at the time.

the beard is magical. calling on the beard brings forth fifty votes each time.

The sad thing is, it's not even a beard, it's a mustache. A mustache that can carry up to six bananas inside it and is detachable to be used for games of fetch with WB's pet dog Stefan. Without that awesome facial hair, Whitebeard is nothing! Nothing I tell you!!

Behind a great mustache is a great man.
Always.

If that's true, then explain to me how the King of the Pirates didn't make the cut.

fucking smoker had to go and screw it up
Well at least Smoker's getting served a healthy dose of comeuppance now. :ninja:
Well it's a shame that Smoker is losing to Garp,but I predicted this would happen,oh well.
As long as Whitebeard beats Rayleigh tomorrow~
Yes yes, Rayleigh did save Zoro. And indeed, Rayleigh swam across the Calm Belt. Rayleigh is indeed a great character. But, Mr or Ms. Voterperson, let me pose a question. Did Rayleigh ever take in a legion of pirates, all of whom from different backgrounds, accept them all as equals, and call them his sons? No. Whitebeard did. Did Rayleigh, upon getting stabbed by one of those sons, instead of flying into a rage, try to understand the circumstances, and then, when he realized the truth, forgive the son, showing true fatherly love? No, that never happened to Rayleigh. But it happened to Whitebeard. And did Rayleigh ever get half of his face melted off, only to keep on fighting, because that's what real manly men do? No. Only Whitebeard could pull that off. While Whitebeard was fighting in the greatest war of the era, all for the sake of his beloved crewmember, Rayleigh was relaxing peacefully at Sabaody. After spending six months away from home, gambling his life away. Would Whitebeard do anything like that? No. He was a dedicated pirate. And remember, when Whitebeard faced death, instead of going out peacefully, he renewed the world's lust for adventure with his final words, and when his life finally ended, his body remained standing, without a single scar of retreat. That's a true winner. That's the strongest man in the world. That's the man who has a cute little doggy named Stefan. That's Whitebeard, the man who deserves your vote.
I love Rayleigh.
Rayleigh is a man amongst men, and my #1 pick in this tourney.
But, allowing him more than 236 votes is a crime against Makino.
So vote Whitebeard. For Makino's sake. Unless there is tons of leeway on Ray-Ray's part, then by all means, lend him your votes.
I really do like Makino as well as Whitebeard. But I have to say that I have to campaign for Rayleigh in that match-up. I decided that I didn't really want someone big winning, but I want someone who's epic all the same.
Ray should have 300 votes.
Rayleigh should have no more then 50 votes~ :silly:

Can't wait to see you get frustrated.:wub:
@Sea:
Can't wait to see you get frustrated.:wub:
Why would I get frustrated,I already know Rayleigh is going to have more than that.
@Sea:
You will.:wub:
I highly doubt it seeing as I don't care who wins,as long as one loses and the other loses next round~
Kitsune, we're doing it tomorrow approx half an hour before the match closes. Are you ok with the time or do we have to make it earlier?
@Sea:
I will organize fun activities. And gang rapes. But we can't let you know, fufufu.
Do i hear "fun activities"
It's not my place to teach people. It would be too high of me to give advices to those who don't think they need it. Those who ask will receive.
You did rly like the Constructive Critism-thread,don`t cha.
Nothing.
You can`t give me nothing.Thats just..not..
Then at least give me power hungry slut a high position in the revolutionarys!
You know being one of the leaders of the GorouseiSummit and the B(V)ascoholics opens me every asshole:ninja:
uc_5_gwB1oA
How about 2nd commander, leading the German division?
You unfortunately just have 1-2 of those rare pearls called Germans.
But being 2nd in command sounds fine to me
I hate to butt in, but.. Actually, you would be the fourth in command. Sea, Cyan and Kitsune would all be above you, if I read the statement correctly.
2nd commander means you are commander of division 2, not 2nd in command.
In other word, you to the RA is like Ace to WB pirates. Cyan are vice-captain, Kitsune is like Marco. RBoar has special privileges.
BTW, since Dragon match, I alway support losers.

Then i-i will die ?:blink:
But iam okay with that..2nd commander is a good start i guess for joining so late.
I will look for the booze and if necessary i will troll someone through the whole forum(like Ace trolled BB).
I hope its okay when the devision i lead doesn
t necessarily have to be all part of the RA.
Ohh btw Dryish, you join my devision thats for sure
–-
Today iam for Shanks or else Mihawk would be crushed anyways in the semi-finals.
But lets hope Garp will be his opponent in the semi-final or it`s all for nothing.
Actually all commanders are equal. 2nd division's commander position is a mysterious one. I heard that those who hold that position will have a painful death (like Ace's precedence).
As for the Mihawk vs Shanks match, my policy is support the loser so my vote go to Mihawk.
I love the thrill
So the next match hasn't started yet? That's strange…
Also still going to be voting Rayleigh unless someone blows my mind. It's a good thing I don't have to judge a character based on morality or even how influential he is. Yeah, so Rayleigh gambles and is easy-going, big deal. I feel more of a connection to Rayleigh. I'm not voting Whitebeard just cuz he could destroy the world. Strength isn't the only criteria for likeability. Tbh, I never really cared much for his devil fruit.
the lack of One Piece makes me feel a little out of touch with the actual characters. i should probably read Marineford and the aftermath chapters before the next match…
Oh, the Garp vs. Smoker match is still ongoing? I didn't realize because nobody seemed to be posting in that thread. Maybe I should re-read Marineford too… I bet the real problem I have is that every time the action cut away from Luffy, all I really see is the Whitebeard pirates full of fail... Marco getting handcuffed, Joz basically nothing more than a convenient perch for Dofla, etc. It really made me dislike most of the arc the first time around.
People should re-read the Impel Down arc instead to see Bon Bon and his awesome person.

you only need to watch this.

awesome, and now that the anime has some more scenes with wb,they could remake it
Dryish: We may have to do it somewhat earlier. Or hopefully, if the match delays long enough, later. I have a class tomorrow :\
@metteminne:

he is gonna remake once all episodes are there. but he did make a small promo/trailer 3 weeks ago

you're cruel, you really are. there's no way i can not vote for Whitebeard after watching that. (until he goes up against Bon, at least. i don't even want to think about what's going to happen then.)
I like Bon Bon, but I know that Roger would vote WB.
This is a hard decision.

Let's wait and analyze the situation after the match starts. I'm home around 3pm GMT+3 tomorrow (some four-five hours before the match ends) so I can do it few hours earlier without much trouble.

i will be waiting , post it when it comes out on the forum ok?
Ugh, maybe it's because some of those first few Marineford chapters were so full of double pages it made them such painfully quick weekly reads. You wait for an entire week and wind up with a chapter that seems to be about 9-10 pages long. I know I complained the hell out it but that was before I joined these forums. Regardless, I still very much enjoyed the arc.
I just understood the pirates were outnumbered 10/1, overwhelmed, and overpowered. Yet they still managed to get as far as they did, free Ace, and do a shit load a damage to the Marine forces. All thanks to their combined efforts and many thanks to Whitebeard who just mowed through them like they were fodder (while he was injured). My only real complaint about the Whitebeard pirates is that Whitebeard himself didn't take action sooner but meh, he couldn't have know Squadro would ruin his abs.
Overall the arc did get better on a second read through when you took everything in on one big chunk. Whitebeard took on all 3 admirals throughout the war and did serious damage to one. Compare that to Rayleigh who only fought evenly with Kizaru and complained about how old he was getting. Well, I think Whitebeard is older and he was already weakened by old age and disease racking his body but that didn't stop him and he endured through 267 blade wounds, over 152 gun shots, and 46 cannonballs. Not to mention half his face was blown off and in the end of his life he never allowed one single scratch to mar the symbol on his back, his pride.
The man is legit. He's half the reason I enjoyed that arc so much. Him and Akainu put on the best shows for their respective sides.
Though, Akainu should die horribly and be buried in an unmarked grave which is subsequently pissed on by various animals. Akaniu fans would be pissed? Meh, it's alright because non-Akainu fans would be happy or not care at all. ^_^
