rank the animals game

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

let’s see how this goes…

poster 1 - elephant
poster 2 - elephant>dog
poster 3 - elephant>lion>dog
poster 4 - elephant>lion>tiger>dog
poster 5 - protest! tiger>lion. cite.
poster 6 to 9 - not true! opionions/cite.
poster 10 (skips tiger) - elephant>lion>dog>rat
etc etc

the key is to introduce an animal in a position most people will agree with, and to see how long this chain can grow.

rules: rank the animals by a 1 on 1 fight in an enclosed soccer stadium with no access beyond the field.

elephant>lion>dog>rat

2

Badger>Badger>Badger><Mushrom<Mushroom
Er…wait…what were the rules again.

sorry, Im just a bit of a troublemaker tonight

3

snake! oh snake!!
elephant>lion>dog>snake>rat

more rules: whoever dies first, lose.

4

mongoose (I recently saw a cobra vs mongoose fight)

elephant>lion>dog>mongoose>snake>rat

5

Well, I’ve seen a rat kill a snake. But I think it’s a pretty rare occurance.

6

elephant>lion>dog>mongoose>snake>rat>mackeral

The rat would sit there evilly watching the mackeral flop around until it died.

Easy victory.

what kind of rat can kill a snake? :confused: it must be huge.

i think we need more rules: :slight_smile:

[ul][li]rank the animals by a 1 on 1 fight in an enclosed soccer stadium with no access beyond the field. [/li][li]whoever dies first, lose. [/li][li]assume both sides to be healthy adults in their prime. [/li][li]contestants may request to be in a large pool of the same size if both agree.[/li][li]suggest a rule![/ul][/li]shark

elephant>lion>dog>mongoose>snake>rat>shark>mackerel

“Man” should be first on the list. We kill everything.

She told me she loved me like a brother. She was from Arkansas, hence the Joy!

Fish > *

Cite? Unnecessary! It’s obvious! FISH ÜBER ALLES!!!

man>elephant>lion>dog>mongoose>rat>crickets (I don’t agree with adding non-terrestrial animals into this as it doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the game.)

man>elephant>lion>dog>mongoose>rat>crickets (I don’t agree with adding non-terrestrial animals into this as it doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the game.)

14

man>elephant>lion>**hyena>cheetah>**dog>mongoose>cat>rat>crickets

15

man > elephant > lion > hyena > cheetah > dog > mongoose > snake > cat > rat > cricket > mayfly

The cricket would watch the mayfly watch the cricket, but the mayfly would die of old age first.

Question: how are we to handle rock-paper-scissors relationships, as well as exceptions. For example:

RPS - dog > mongoose, mongoose > cobra, cobra > dog

Exception - dog > mongoose, except when dog = toy poodle, in which case mongoose >> toy poodle

16

i don’t agree with man being first on the list. there is a merry debate going on right now about where exactly we stand. so man is degraded for the moment; the animals don’t get to bring weapons or clothes, neither do we.

amended rules (no water, no weapons)

[ul][li]rank the animals by a 1 on 1 fight in an enclosed soccer stadium with no access beyond the field. [/li][li]whoever dies first, lose. [/li][li]assume both sides to be healthy adults in their prime. [/li][li]all contestants naked and hungry. [/li][li]terrestrial animals only.[/li][li]suggest a rule![/ul][/li]as evidenced on this boards, a hamster will never be able to catch that cricket on a football sized field.

cricket>cute furry hamster

waitaminute, on a field that big, crickets rule!

cricket>snake>rat>hamster

elephant>lion>hyena>cheetah>man>dog>mongoose>cat>cricket>snake>rat>hamster

17

giraffe > all

That’s right. Who’s your daddy, bitches? :wink:

18

InquisitiveIdiot do you have another example? in your example a dog would still beat a cobra since it dies first?

as for exceptions maybe we can start defining types if we want to e.g. alsatian>mongoose>cobra>toy poodle?

amended rules:

[ul][li]rank the animals by a 1 on 1 fight in an enclosed soccer stadium with no access beyond the field. [/li][li]whoever dies first, lose. [/li][li]time limit is 24 hours, whereupon they must stand and fight.[/li][li]assume both sides to be healthy adults in their prime. [/li][li]all contestants naked and hungry. [/li][li]terrestrial animals only.[/li][li]suggest a rule![/ul][/li]prehensile nose > prehensile tongue :stuck_out_tongue:

elephant > giraffe > lion > hyena > cheetah > man > dog > mongoose > cat > snake > rat > hamster > cricket > mayfly

wolf howls at dog

elephant > giraffe > lion > hyena > cheetah > man > wolf > dog > mongoose > cat > snake > rat > hamster > cricket > mayfly
