WHC X* Semi Final 2 - Jaguar Vs Honey Badger

[Giraffe]

I've ignored this sham since shrimp-gate, but I'm getting involved now.

The right thing needs to happen here.

That has a kind of Russians and Donald Trump feel to it! Last minute, the badger wins by a 904-92 landslide

That's a NONSENSE argument. That there are some posters who would vote for ANYTHING against fluffy, doesn't by definition mean that none of those opponents ARE in fact harder.

Yes of course, I'm not suggesting that Jaguar is not hard because I believe he is. But what does happen when HB comes up against a genuinely hard opponent is genuine votes, and then a good amount of votes from those who would rather vote for a stick insect.

And just to clarify, you're not suggesting that a Seagull received 37 genuine votes from people who honestly think it is harder than a honey badger, are you?

Well there goes any hope of the HB progressing to the final!

greatest WHC match ever?

Always a good match when the HB loses

Not for a minute, which is why I said nothing of the kind. Just refuting the argument that the existence of some 'anyonebutbadger' votes, means that the opponent doesn't necessarily DESERVE that vote.

'Anyonebutbadger' would vote against the badger, in contests against a kitten, a tadpole and a T-Rex - none of that indicates anything about the respective merits of those three opponents.

92 - 92 with a few hours left.

It's about time that the 2nd accounts came out. Wheres [MENTION=20497]NSC Blog[/MENTION]s

It's been 92-92 now for an hour. Has everyone voted that wanted to or is there a few waiting for a late lunge?

 

[Mellotron]

It couldn't be closer - but come on people ask yourself this question:

If you were put in lifeboat with either the jaguar or honey-badger - which
do you fancy your chances against most?

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - obviously this vote will be discarded, along with numerous others.

I'd just cuddle the honey badger and tell the jaguar to swim in the water for his food

There it is, obviously there can't be a Honey Badger contest without someone pulling this beauty out. And it proves what exactly? I've already posted the equivalent 'Jaguar being cuddled picture'.

Lazy.

Listen to yourself! You sound like Donald Trump, crying about 'electoral fraud' without a hint of irony.

Who the hell are you to disregard the valid opinion of a valued forum stalwart like [MENTION=20497]NSC Blog[/MENTION] (22 informative and enlightening contributions since 2011)?

Why is it lazy? I keep it in my files because it shows the honey badger is not as head mental, as it's supporters think.

Completely agree! But my point stands that the Badger has to somehow overcome genuine votes, and votes purely against it. Come the later rounds when he comes up against other hard creatures equally deserving of votes, it makes his task nigh-on impossible.

Agreed, but leave New Year's Eve out of this.

Because it proves nothing? What about your old favorite, SWC...?



By your rationale, this makes the SWC not very hard?

Where is your source for this? Is it dead?
