First Round Discussion Thread

Enzeru

Hold your horses, cowboy. It's not like that round thing will really advance to the next round lol

Juvar

This is retarded.

Kitsune Inferno

Clause 14, Section 8 of the terms and conditions you all AGREED to when you joined Arlong Park.

@Clause:

Moderators have the express right to act on poll results in any way they see fit.

That's right after Clause 13 which you're lucky we don't really want to enforce. :ninja: You see, we really are bennign, you know.

Oh, oh-hoooooo!

Juvar

I cannot find any terms or conditions anywhere on the site. Link me.

Kitsune Inferno

You didn't read the terms and conditions?

How do you know you agree with them!?

I just tried registering again and there's no clauses or segments anywhere. If there are - link me.

Kitsune Inferno

Terms and conditions are signed by IP addresses, it just so hapbenns

And you didn't READ them

@Noqanky:

Regardless of how good the Beckmann campaigns might be, I hold a great grudge against him. Namely that he kept Apoo from being in the first round.

So I'm with Smoker for that match.

I now have another reason to vote Smoker.
Thanks for the reminder.

Also, Kitty, I don't know what you're plotting.
But it smells…
not-all-that-nice-at-all.
Are you perhaps planning on having Satori bazooka'd and replace him with Apoo/Shackey like you should? :ninja:

Kitsune Inferno

Holding grudges.

Setting the bennchmark for anti-fun since 2010.

Hold ALL OF THE GRUDGES.
Don't make me list 'em and don't make me add more XD

No Maam

I do hope this is a joke because I don't notice this in the OP on the thread, to be honest.

Enzeru

It's a shame that Hattori and Ace weren't paired since a Kentucky fried chicken related campaign could've been used. :P
But wait- Nami uses lightning attacks which technically should be a able to, you know, fry a chicken (or pigeon)…

They shoulda paired Apoo and Tamago, or mehbeh Apoo and Brook.

Ubiq

The Satori-O-Matic Surprise Ball Selector has been made aware of your complaints against it.

zachri

I'm rather worried about this shizzle you be pulling with Satori…
Try anything like that in Kidd vs Law (unless Law is miraculously somehow losing) and I will legit.
FLIP.

Mr M

I believe it all falls unde rule 10 of the tourney

zachri

Screw the rules, I have money.
:ninja:

Anyhow…
if Hattori miraculously loses against Nami, then Hattori should team up with Jinbei and they should like... eat Satori and troop on like the bosses they are.

I thought I was the only one with a certain limit where jokes stop to be funny. Thank you.

That pigeon is one opponent you should never underestimate.

Nolus

So Satori will advance.

Hahaha, I bet he'll even be the champion this year! Haha… wait, that might not be right...

It's when you guys complain about this kind of stuff that the joke gets prolonged. Satori will now be given a series of unfair stipulations in all of his future matches in order to bennsure your complaints will continue.

It's music to my ears.

Oh, oh-hoooooooooo!

Densuke

I did vote for Satori, but that's pretty damn lame..

If you guys are planning to do this again just for the fun of it, I'm opting out of future polls (not that my opinion really means anything)..

It's pretty shitty for those people actually putting effort into campaigning for a character, and then at the end you just decide to announce that the poll was rigged to fail from the beginning..

Herodadotus

I'm pretty sure this was all a joke, one that's continuing due to how you guys are reacting.

Same thing happened in the Kizaru vs Makino match in 2010.

Makino had more votes, mods said Kizaru won. It was all fixed in the end.

But seriously, have fun with this. It's a character tournament in a forum. Don't take it seriously.

That is a spurious and unfair charge.

The match wasn't rigged until after it was over.

eerie

I remember 3 or 4 years ago participating in my first character tournament and Nami ended up with something like 1,000,000 votes at the last second and beat X Drake! Can you believe that? I didn't even know we had that many APforum goers! I was pretty angry then.. so I can understand your guys's current anger!

It was the opposite, actually. Drake was the one who got 1.000.000 votes.

Would Satori be able to replicate Drake's miracle through his Ordeal of Balls?

Oops, you're correct! See, I'm still so shocked about it, I can't even remember it clearly!

GreatLiver

I'm glad Satori was able to make it through. He'll likely show up in the next chapter as one of the shadowed brokers. That'll give him the extra boost he needs and he can ride that to the finals.

Kitsune Inferno

soon you will all realize that life

Damn, Arlong lost…..by 3 votes?? Man, that number pops up again. :I

Tournament Arc Words so far: Satori, Three, Lawfare, Why :ninja:

Noqanky

Things I realized from this years tournament:

Roger Pirates kick the ass out of the Sun Pirates when it comes to popularity.

Also, based on how many characters with good campaigns have lost and how pissed everyone got about balls, people hate fun :ninja:

Dryish

Soon, very soon… :ninja:

zachri

I just noticed that Roger won.
THAT.
CHILDREN.
IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

Sunita

Damn! I think than I won't support Ace tomorrow….I'm very busy with my new work (>_<)
Ace-fans, I leave everything in your hands

About Hattori and Law, maybe neither I can help them u_u (damned work xD). Very luck for them!

maggie

Nuoooo, I can't support ace tomorrow, I work all dayyy ;A;

Sunita

@maggie:

Nuoooo, I can't support ace tomorrow, I work all dayyy ;A;

Me too u_u
I hope than Ace win, please ;_;

Rest in peace, Bennwagon.

Mr M

Rip Benn , we shall miss you

piratemarimo

At last, we're finally getting to matches that I care about… Mr. 3, you can do it!!

Enzeru

Mhh, seems like no one's around to start the next battle… well at least Smoker won which can be considered nice.

Out of the battles left I'm only looking forward to the Nami vs Hattori and Hancock vs Usopp ones since the rest should be fairly one-sided.

zachri

Friday,

Gotta get down on Friday,
Partyin'

Oh God, Hattori's match is next … oh God.

If anyone asks, my budgies are to blame.
