Challenge to the Overlord

Ticallion Carter · Post by **Ticallion Carter** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 8:12 pm

So, by virtue of winning the Warlord tournament again, I get to take another shot at the Crown.

And you'd better believe I'm taking that shot.

Consider yourself challenged, Rakeesh. Let me know what dates and times work best for you and we can hammer this out.

This challenge is valid and may proceed.

I also think there should be bread sticks at this challenge. With marinara dipping sauce.

Mayhaps it can be cheesy bread?

Go Tical! Don't let that punka** b***h punk you! Aight?

Ticallion Carter,

I welcome your challenge. We will meet on Wednesday, March 13th at 8pm (EST) in The Arena (ROH chatroom). Train hard, effendi. You will find no easy challenge against me. May skill, honor and blood please the Gods.

Sincerely,
Rakeesh Sah Tarna

We still seek an official who desires to call this challenge.

I can call this one if no one else wants to!

I don't wanna take all the challenges!! I just like calling them!

XoXo,
Rekah Silverblades

Rekah works for me. Hopefully that works for Lion-O.

That reminds me, I wonder if the rest of the Thundercats are going to be at the challenge. I wouldn't mind getting some autographs. Especially from Cheetara.

Jokes aside, this should be a good challenge. I expect to see everyone out there.

I would be honored for you to officiate, Rekah. Thank you.

I do not understand Tical's joke, though my PR Manager did tell me that it has something to do with an otherworldly cartoon? Strange.

My sponsors would like me to promote the challenge by sharing a bold statistical fact that they dug up.

It appears that I am 7-0, undefeated in my career, against The Wrecking Crew in team league or challenges matches. As they say in violent films from your world, Tical, 'Let's do this.'

Way to live in the past, dude.

Since you're taking a narrow view on a larger concept (read: personal accomplishment vs. team effort), let's look at the real picture, shall we?

I'll go ahead and make real clear which are the leading stats.

Champions of Mythos

TDL Divisional Titles: 1
TDL Conference Championships: 1
TDL Cup Championships: 0
TDL MVPs: 0
IFL Playoff Appearances: 1
IFL Finals Appearances: 1
WLT Winners: 1
WLT Prizes: 1
Baronies Held: 2
Overlords Held: 2
Opals Held: 2
Diamonds Held: 0
Hydra Cup Season 1 Results: Couldn't field a team

Wrecking Crew

TDL Divisional Titles: 3
TDL Conference Championships: 4
TDL Cup Championships: 1
TDL MVPs: 2
IFL Playoff Appearances: 2
IFL Finals Appearances: 1
WLT Winners: 3
WLT Prizes: 10
Baronies Held: 11
Overlords Held: 3
Opals Held: 14
Diamonds Held: 9
Hydra Cup Season 1 Results: 3rd

Your PR Manager oughta spend less time watching cartoons and more time making sure you don't make an idiot out of yourself. Again.

You think 7 personal wins against one team means anything? Think again. Your problem is you're all about you, Rakeesh - your gums keep flapping and more meaningless words keep spilling out and you think the dueling world's going to be awed by your little stat.

7 wins. Give me a freakin' break.

The team's not about you. The team's about the team. What the team does and what the team accomplishes - together.

7 personal wins. Who gives a rat's ass?

Win or lose against Ticallion, you and your team have a long way to go to get in the same league, let alone ballpark, as Wrecking Crew. So take your 7 wins and run along home, little lion man. You'll find nobody impressed here.

So… I guess the entire Wrecking Crew is going to be in the ring with Tical to fight Rakeesh? Hey Myria, you do realize that this is a ONE-ON-ONE match, right? Personal stats > team stats. That’s usually the case in anything that’s, you know, not actually a team event.

Don’t you have better things to do like selling piss water to chumps or something? Where’s Maria at? When she talks smack, people listen. You’re like a less talented, less entertaining version of her.

Myria Graziano · Post by **Myria Graziano** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:13 pm

You missed the point, Harris. Rakeesh didn't say he beat Tical 7 times, he said he beat Crew 7 times in challenges and team dueling. Crew. Not Ticallion.

Big difference.

If he wants to go toe to toe with Crew as a whole or in part, he's more than welcome. One-on-one with Tical? Sure. Have at it. Let's see the sponsors spout bold statistical facts around Rak vs. Tic, not Rak vs. Crew.

Those 7 wins he and his sponsors are so proud of? They don't do squat for that team of his. And look at what those 7 wins got him personally. That's right: more losing teams and zero personal & team titles.

By the way, Harris, you're right. My sister's more talented in the rings than me, maybe even more entertaining. So what? You think that's insulting to me somehow? Crew complements each other as a collective whole. We know our strengths and our weaknesses. That's why no other team's been able to accomplish what we have. We've got each other's backs. That's what keeps us strong. That's what keeps us family. That's what keeps us together.

I'm wondering if those families in Old Temple who are still, to this day, being abused thanks to Mr. Overlords words appreciate this 7-0 streak.

Another interesting choice of words from Rakeesh when he should be focused on other things.

Harris · Post by **Harris** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 7:00 pm

Rakeesh said he beat the Crew 7 times individually. Your rebuttal would’ve had more weight had you made any point specific to Rakeesh, or specific to his team’s interactions with WRC. Instead you bore us with a litany of statistics which essentially amount to “Derp, we have more stuff than your team!” You have more stuff than Candy too, but she still railroaded the lot of you across every single sport. I'm sure you'd like to shuffle that under the rug too, right?

And you shouldn’t be insulted by being the weakest link. That should be your motivation to not suck so much. You’ve got a great role model in Maria. That’s what you should aspire to be instead of Random Crew Flunkie #5 that people confuse with Ria.

I would like to note that when he Lost to my future ex-wife, Kaja, she was, actually, A Crew member. So I am amused that he so casually omitted that little fact.

Plus, the fact that he won any duels in TDL or in the Outback or Isle means absolutely nothing in the Arena. How many wins does Derpy have in the Arena challenges against Crew?

Oh hey, look at that. Diddly squat.

Imagine that.

Look, a rebuttal that actually makes sense! Are you taking notes, Myria? Next time when someone says something about the Crew put forth more effort than simply throwing up a laundry list of random accolades, which seems to be the default response whenever the Crew gets insulted.

You should take Myria's spot on the Crew, G'nort.
