you sir/madam need a course in human sociological behavior. first off i'm not playing victim and nothing in my post indicates that i am. secondly i didn't go out of my way to do anything since asking for evidence to back up a claim was well within my way of doing things. thirdly "you could just post normally saying your thoughts that "mandy is not as powerful" as everyone says. your the one who dragged it out." who are you to say what is normal and what isn't. the social norm may apply to you and if it does then i'm sorry but you are a sheep. the ones who were able to debate with me are thinkers like me and i respect their insight. the narrow-minded view of people like groundswolf and you who speak without thought shows me i shouldn't waste my time trying to converse with you. if you had read this topic from the beginning then you would see nothing was "dragged out" the debate was ongoing with intellectual and articulate responses from all sides and even if you don't agree with it Ive received messages from people who do appreciate what i have to say because i am able to support what i say without losing control of my emotions so for you to say i'm trying to play the victim, you couldn't be further from the truth.
ok sorry. I might have posted a bit too harsh.
anyway to the points:
from your statement earlier, you already expressed theories on mandy backing out. while groundwolf may not have backed up his statements, I think your post was kinda harsh/forceful that he/she also responded that way. is it too hard to just say something like "what makes you think that mandy wasnt faking it?" rather than "you have no evidence and thus your statement is meaningless".
your trying a bit too hard on proving your point that mandy would lose, when others have also proven that mandy is quite capable herself. she may not have supernatural powers but she's got skill and experience, something junior doesnt have. im sure you've seen powerless characters beat up ones who have just through skill, luck, and experience.
this is story just like any other, your way of saying it seems to imply mandy has no chance at all and she knows this which is why she's backing out. but as this is a story, anything can happen out here that will tip the scales on who wins.
if we're going with the characters fighting for real, mandy has chances. she's got a gun while junior is still transforming. she can shoot him in the head. while he may not have a literal brain he'll be disabled by the pain as he's in his demon form. she's also in her own vault, which has plenty of powerful items she probably knows how to use. and then there's traps layered around the whole room, if she had an anti-devil trap to stop mimi, who can say she doesnt have one for every other thing, especially demons and the likes?
in a story, there are plenty of variables not just plain power that can turn the tides. your ignoring the other things mandy has in her arsenal.
acting all high and mighty, just like mandy
seriously dude, some people are here for the entertainment value. yes, that doesnt mean that something serious cant take place but I think your dragging some people who clearly arent here to debate this(groundwolf). and belittling your opponents while pretending to be great yourself, how can you call that a good debater? no need to be rude.
true
