Description

Best: highest quality

Mlp:fim: my little pony: friendship is magic

The Perfect Pear: s7 e13

Stand alone: not part of a two parter, three parter so on and so forth

Burden of proof is shared.

NOTICE: only 2 hours remain for voting.

Conduct only votes are warranted without analysis of other points due to >=50% forfeiture.

@Crocodile

It's not quite a full forfeiture... That said, I'm going to edit my vote to tie arguments. I expected many conduct only votes for the >50% forfeiture.

wtf ima lose

:((((

@Barney

Shouldn't I automatically win this due to the FF?

NOTICE: Less than a day remains for voting.

@Username

Sorry for the late reply, it actually had to be discussed in moderation chat.

It's pretty close to an FF, but technically not quite. I'm literally tossing this type of thing into the next referendum, to settle it once and for all.

>Reason for Mod Action:
People forfeit by degrees. Any unexcused forfeited rounds merits a conduct loss. However, for less than a 50% forfeiture, arguments must still be voted on or justified as a tie.
A full-forfeit debate is defined as a debate that has no argument presented by one side following the opening round, resulting in all subsequent rounds being forfeited. When this is the case, these debates are considered full-forfeit debates and are not moderated unless a voter votes for the forfeiting side.
**************************************************

This falls right on the line between borderline and needing to be deleted, and even with internal discussion us moderators are unsure. With a week left to vote, I am opting for deleting it to give you maximum opportunity to revote if you so choose. Given the content of the debate, it could be a single sentence to justify arguments (if voting arguments, otherwise they need not be mentioned).

Also I'm tossing a related question into the next referendum, to avoid this issue in future.

I'll have you know when you combine Lincoln and Washington, you get the ultimate best at being a Korean Businessman!

-->
@Barney

"How dare you"?

Is it false? No one that has walked on the soil of Earth has been proven omnipotent. Even JESUS wasn't as omnipotent as God. Lincoln and Washington is no God and being good at politics is enough for them to be the GOAT of the field.

-->
@Barney

Does this count as an FF

-->
@Intelligence_06

How dare you insinuate that Lincoln and Washington aren't the best at being a Korean Businessman! 😉

@Barney

Thanks

I love your vote!

@Crocodile

He only needs to prove that a certain episode is the Best relatively, and it doesn't need to for all aspects.

Lincoln and Washington are considered best presidents, but they aren't the best at being a Korean Businessman, nor are they the best at ultimately suppressing freedom. That still doesn't make them NOT the best presidents.

@Crocodile

wow

-->
@Intelligence_06

welp he made an argument

-->
@Crocodile

No, he instigated

-->
@Intelligence_06

welp, he accepted

-->
@Intelligence_06

I mean, i still have one argument ready, in case he comes back

-->
@Crocodile

I mean, as much as I crave position and rating, if I am only accepting things taking advantage for forfeitures, then I will be called out as a coward.

@Intelligence_06

haha free elo boost go brr

That describes me right now.

@Intelligence_06

nah i just like dem free wins

-->
@Crocodile

Judging from that PRO is off for 6 days, are you taking advantage of FF, or do you really understand children's cartoons?

-->
@seldiora

What do you mean by "best"?

I am most likely NOT accepting this debate because I am not into children's cartoons, but how to define it?
