Zeldapedia:Temple of Courage



Welcome to the Temple of Courage, where various characters from the Legend of Zelda series battle out on a semi-weekly basis! You, the people, are the deciding factors in these matches. Functionally, all of these battles are popularity contests and not "battles" as such. For instance, in a boss vs. boss fight, we suggest that you vote for the one you like the most rather than whether or not one enemy would beat another in a legit fight. This is only a suggestion, though.

You can suggest a fight or vote or comment on others on the suggestions sub-article.

Rules

 * You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in a competition between the two combatants that week.
 * You may only vote once.
 * If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. However, any votes put in the anonymous sections will only count as a half vote.
 * When a new fight is created (the process should take no longer than a week, give or take a couple of days), the votes from the last fight will be totaled and winner decided.
 * Please sign your vote (unless you want to be counted as an anonymous vote) with a link to your username in front of your eventual voting text.
 * Don't try to rig the votes by entering multiple votes; these pages are regularly patrolled and you WILL face consequences if you are caught.
 * A short notification must be made before changing the fight.
 * Please don't use talk templates.

Week 95: Hyrule Guards vs. Phantom Guardians
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Zeldapedia once again brings you another adrenaline-filled, action-packed week of the TEMPLE OF COURAGE! With just five weeks to go until the big 100, this week's fight is between two groups of heavily armored and bewitched guardians! Without further ado, let's introduce our contestants!

In the teal corner we have a group of guards who were formerly the Hylian King's loyal subjects. Brainwashed by Agahnim, they will charge or launch projectiles at anyone who gets in their way. Clad in armor the same color as our hero, '''THEY. ARE. THE HYRULE GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!!!'''

In the grey corner we have enemies that are so strong that Link needs a special sword just to hurt them! Forever guarding a mystic temple, these bad dudes will slice and dice you with their enormous swords if they spot you. Ghostly guards that get stronger with every rank, '''THEY. ARE. THE PHAAAAAAAAAAAANTOM GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDIANS!!!'''

With everyone safely seated in the stands so our combatants won't charge them, we will know which one of these vigliant soldiers will triumph. Who will take the gold and earn the favor of their masters? That, my dear voters, is up to you. Now that introductions are out of the way:

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLE!!!

Votes for Hyrule Guards

 * 1) I'm just sick and tired of Phantoms. The Hyrule Guards are a diverse enemy group with many cool battle tactics (although easier to beat than a snake on Whacking Day) and generally badass character design. But Phantoms...jeez, I hate those things by now... --Auron  Kaizer !  22:03, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) These guys, they are just plain epic with any other word or combination of words in any language being inadequate to describe them. Rock on, little soldier dudes.--RedeadhunterRedead.pngContributions Edits 22:32, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) These guys are the real troopers. Plus, I'd rather kill a guy when I see them, not play some stealth thing that barely works. If I wanted stealth, maybe I'd play a game that is actually made for the stealth genre, just saying. -  McGillivray  227  22:50, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Good memories of pwning these n00bs like there's no tomorrow (which, as it seems, there was). -- Haru Mclean Namikaze Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 5) There is a version of them with itty bitty daggers that don't even attack you. Now how awesome is that. I always thought those guys were good and only accidentally hurt you so I never would kill them. When a bad guy can convince you to just let the be, then they have something going for them.--Birdman5589 (talk) 23:01, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Agreed and agreed. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 23:03, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) We should give the Phantoms a break and return to this classic, staple enemy- at least for a handheld title.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 8) Phantoms can be cool sometimes and whatever, but the sheer annoyingness of having to run around avoiding them constantly is wearing.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:26, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) in four swords adventures its fun to just go in cross or horizontal formation or vertical formation and take out like an army of these guysDevdude (talk) 00:43, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I'm Phantomed out for now.--DarkTriforce (talk) 01:02, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11)  After the last visit to the tower of spirits, to pissed off for them...  Super duh... Alpaca [[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 02:06, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Phantoms are really overused these days. These guys are the classics. Oddball 464 02:09, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) My favourite pastime is scaring them in wolf form.Also,phantoms are the worst enemies ever in multiplayer Spirit Tracks.--Farore.din.nayru (talk) 15:49, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Phantoms are neat and all, but it gets annoying having to run every time one sees you. Plus, you don't have to work very hard to kill Hyrule Guards. --Lincas1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 00:08, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Meep. --Meep Meep (talk) 14:19, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) I dont feel like pointing out why these are obviously better Oni Dark  Link 16:21, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Phantoms are old news.
 * 2) Way too classic to be beaten, especially by Phantoms.
 * 3) I've never played Link to the Past, but this I do know about it; you finally get to kill those annoying as hell guards. They got my vote
 * 4) This is only my second vote ever (sorry about last week--I'M NEW!), but, having played Four Swords Adventures, these guys are much more enjoyable. The way their captains shout, "BACK! GO!", the way they pop up from the grass with crossbows, etc. 5:58 PM,  April 22, 2010
 * 5) Phantoms are weird. These guys are the best. They could beat the phantoms anyday!


 * colspan="3" style="width: 50%; background: #b6c2b7; padding: 5px" valign="top"|

Votes for Phantom Guardians

 * 1) Phantoms are way better than hyrule guards. Its fun doing the stealth stuff and dodging them.  Plus hyrule guards just run at you with swords.  A human  22:23, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Just got Spirit Tracks, and my opinion of these guys has changed completely. — Baltro  [  talk  ·  edits  ] 22:55, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) In my opinion, the Phantoms are one of the best ways they've incorporated stealth into Zelda. That being said, I vote for phantoms from Hourglass, not Spirit Tracks, for their introduction and how awesome it felt at the end when you cound FINALLY shank them with the (master reproduction) Sword. --ComeBackKing (talk) 23:01, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, these guys appear in two games, you can control them by having Zelda possess them, they have a really cool death animation (PH only), and yet the bile- yellow colored generic enemies are getting all the votes. Dawn Of A New Day (is cool)
 * 5) I really like the new phantom types in Spirit Tracks. J-man Zelda Fan (talk) 01:48, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Let me just say that both of these enemies totally  @#!*%  me off, but I found the Phantoms much cooler.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 02:01, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) They're invincible bad- @#!*%, why wouldn't I vote for them?  Jioplip
 * 8) Haven't played its games, but for some reason I want to vote for Phantom. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:59, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Phantoms are more difficult to beat, more powerful and plus, Zelda was one (well, she possessed one or two anyway) so GO PHANTOMS! pink_link
 * 10) Every time a phantom popped up because I was running too fast or whatever, I had tons of fun running around them or going into a safe zone and shooting them with arrows.  Plus phantoms look a lot cooler than the guards. DaraxChuchus (The Wind Waker).png
 * 11) Phantoms: They're Hyrule Guards on steroids! They are bigger, tougher, and harder to kill. 'Nuff said. --Braelolk Ball & Chain Trooper (A Link to the Past).gif
 * 12) How could anyone not vote for Phantoms? This is sure to be one sided. Wait! They are losing? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?Ingo the great (talk) 02:23, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) This was a really close one for me, but the phantoms have a bit more varitey then the gurads. they are also much harder to beat, and I love messing with them (whipping them from a safe zone so they just turn around like, "huh?")--Hylianhero777 (talk) 19:17, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Go Phantoms!!!!!!!!!! Zeldafan777
 * 15) Phantoms are annoying, but it's fun to trick them and make them look stupid. Also, controlling a Phantom is fun (in ST). -- Deku  Stick   Master   Fire Wizzrobe (The Minish Cap).gif
 * 16) Phantoms are epic. TheUltimateHokage88 (talk) 05:19, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) I <3d the warp phantoms.  I liked the eerie NUNUNUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!! thing they played whenever it came. And when one died, they turned around and looked at you like "You......." (PH) The first time I killed one, I thot i hadnt killed it completely, and it was a swift phantom, so I ran 4 my life!  Ahh, memories...  --ZeldaQueen12
 * 18) Phantom Guardians are wicked! I'm always having fun by teasing them and running for my life and if they catch you... WHAMMO! Their swords make it act like a game over when they hit Link. Long live the Phantom Guardians --User:TazAJ
 * 19) These guys are waaaaaaaaaaaay cooler. Zeerotytus (talk)
 * 20) Ooooooooooh.......I'm a ghost.....err, wrong kind of phantom. Anyway, I really like Phantoms. T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  20:24, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) The Phantoms were fun and challenging to sneak around, while the Hyrule Guards were just generic enemies that weren't really that memorable for me. -Isdrakthul
 * 2) Phantoms look better and Phantoms are more fun to play!!!^^
 * 3) Phantom hourglass is my fave game! Go Phantoms!!:D
 * 4) Phantoms are much more bad- @#!*%.
 * 5) These guys may be ridiculously annoying, however in ST you can possess one and fight with it. That makes up for it all.
 * 6) With the right music (something chase-like), the Lost at Sea station in Spirit Tracks was really funny. Of course you had to take your own music, but just imagine how they would run after you. Like a children cartoon or something.
 * 7) Hylian guards were frustrating. When you tried to swipe them aside in the beginning, they would reflect your attacks with they're outstretched swords, which is so stupid! This makes for some ultra-cheap moves. Phantom guards, on the other hand, are fun to control, led for some creative puzzles, aren't as cheap in combat AND they look better. Period.

Uh, who did the opening this week? A little underwhelming, don't you think?-- MaloMart ( talk )  22:35, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * (Its the dry heat effect. You let it sizzle and then the fight occurs when people come for the bacon. Juuuust watch...)
 * That made almost no sense. I, for one, think that a better introduction is needed. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 00:15, April 20, 2010 (UTC))
 * AK made the opening, and said for any user, I would think he means registered, to make a new one if they feel like it. Just check the history when he made it. - McGillivray  227  01:14, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I took the liberty of making the introduction. It's not much, but I think it'll suffice for the week. Oddball 464 02:09, April 20, 2010 (UTC)*
 * Good job! --Auron  Kaizer !  02:40, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Farore.din.nayru, the fight is about Hyrule Guards. You're thinking of Hyrulean Soldiers. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 01:07, April 21, 2010 (UTC))
 * My thoughts exactly. --Birdman5589 (talk) 02:08, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

i would like to give the pros and cons of both sides. hyrulian guards actually can be killed, buti believe there was a newer version (in link's awakening?). the phantoms are actually anoying in the aspect that they can't be killed until you get the phantom sword, but once you do, you can have all sorts of fun killing them for all the moments you watsed sneaking past them. how does that sound (if you have more pros or cons (or both) post them here, okay?:))
 * Uhh, I really don't know why you bothered to do this, but in any case, you didn't mention the Phantoms' ST appearance.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:28, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The cool music that accompanies th phantoms. u forgot th@. The earliest game I've actually played is WW.  (I did watch my grandpa play OoT when i was probably somewhere in between 3 and 5 though.)  --ZeldaQueen12

In the Blue Corner is a man who loves rabbits so much that he decided to dress as one, though not for Halloween. This is the RABBITLAND RESCUE MAN!!!!

And in the opposite corner, ready to race fight is a man who loves rabbits, though has never actually seen one. This is the RUNNING MAN!!!!

Who will take home the Rabbit Trophy and be crowned the Rabbit King, and who will go home empty clawed? That is up to you, my dear voters! So, without further ado,

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! Yeah!

Votes for Rabbitland Rescue Man

 * 1) He's a furry that was able to have his wife stick around even after finding out his little secret. The guy deserves some props for such an accomplishment. --Birdman5589 (talk) 13:46, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He almost needed a divorce eterny. That is very unique for a zelda game!  Ray Talk 2 meDoggie Mask.gif 18:56, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I loved catching the rabbits, even though they escaped more times then I caught them in total. Cudwy Wabbits:3
 * 2) I believe he is an awesome guy, he is caring for the rabbits and protecting them from the outside world. Who would do that, huh? And to save his marriage, wow, most people just want to divorce and go different ways. And no guy, well I hope not, would wear that funny costume, and that takes guts. The other guy...it is impossible to defeat in the racing and when he hits you when you are a child, what kind of jerk is that? Hurting a child...really. I understand that from the monsters, but from a hylian or a human, or whatever, it is pretty sad.

 * 6) Running Man's sidequest was frustrating because it was impossible. The other one was frustrating because it was obnoxiously long and difficult and had a relatively lame payoff. Also, Bunny Hood > Bunny Suit.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  17:41, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * 9) First of all, what AK said. Second, because he could literally run circles around other guy. Thirdly, because I've liked the Running Man for a while, and I've just recently (well, four months ago) heard about the Rabbitland Rescue Man.

 * 13) At least this guy's sidequest is MEANT to be impossible... the other sidequest is only impossibly boring.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 14) Running man is one of my favorite characters from OoT. Plus he reminds me of one of my all time favorites, the Postman. --Lincas1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 23:21, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * 16) did you need to ask?--Boris GE (talk) 21:20, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) It's pretty obvious who's gonna win at this point. Either way I'm voting. Although catching rabbits is fun, this guy looks like the Postman. That's enough for him to get my vote. Hero of Men (talk)
 * 18) This guy gets props for having an unbeatable race... and I will not lie... I'm kinda scared of the other guy. I mean, name one thing scarier than a guy in a bunny suit asking you to find all the bunnies in the world. -  McGillivray  227  19:55, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) I like the rabbit hood more than the rabbit catching net, plus Hyrule Field is a nicer setting for a character than Rabbit Land Rescue. However, the snow rabbits are probably the coolest rabbits. Darax
 * 20) Not only is Running man a better character overall, but he's also more physically fit and could totally destroy Rabbit Man. He's running around Hyrule field all day. What does Mr. Rabbit do all day? He stands around telling other people to fetch dumb bunnies for him! Silly Rabbit, votes are for awesome characters! Braelolk
 * 21) He inspired the Postman, who is awesome, therefore he is aweosme too.-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 19:57, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Everything about the rabbit sidequest in ST irritated me, including the guy in the bunny suit. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 14:05, April 13, 2010 (UTC))


 * 1) the sidequest for the rabbits was stupid
 * 2) Having played both Ocarina and Spirit Tracks, I certainly have to say that the Running Man wins, hands down. I mean, both frustrate me, that can be told for sure. After all, what happens when you sell the Running Man the Bunny Hood with a full wallet? NOTHING. Ah, well, at least I have been able to make my first real contribution to this wiki. I can't become a member without an e-mail address, after all...   -SmaSh   7:10, April 14, 2010
 * 3) He fills your wallet after selling him ONE mask. 'Nuff said
 * 4) He is not a Furry (person that dress up as animals), gives you a TON of money(if you had no money), and his MM counterpart give you a mask.
 * 5) I was always suspicious of how the Rabbitland Rescue guy gets all those prizes and rupees, while he'd only font two bunnies by himself. The running guy probably fount all those rupees on the ground after running around Hyrule Field so many times.

@Hylian777, it's low quality because the only real pictures people can get is the size it is in the game itself. -- Haru Mclean Namikaze Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

If anyone is wondering, the running man is NOT (emfisise on NOT) the same as the post man. they are two different characters. Keep that in mind when voting.

Week 93: Blind vs. Diabolical Cubus Sisters
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNN! With a brief delay, Zeldapedia brings you the Temple of Courage, now streaming live on Hulu! This week, we have a battle between five enemies who disguise themselves to fool the unwary hero...in a very obvious fashion. Let us meet our disguised opponents in the ring!

In the red corner is a legendary thief given the task to guard one of the Seven Maidens in his lair. To this end, he disguised himself as the Maiden; however, when light is shined upon him, his true form is revealed. Dressed in a bedsheet and a few heads short of a full stack...THIS. IS. BLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!

In the teal corner is a group of four demented imps who disguise themselves as helpless maidens trapped on a ship of the dead. Constantly seen with disturbing rictus grins on their faces, and avid fans of Dead Man's Volley...THEY. ARE. THE DIABOLICAL CUUUUUUUUUUBUS SISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!!!

Now, when the huge spotlight above the arena is activated, Blind will transform into his true form, and the battle will begin! Who will be the most superior trickster bosses of all? LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLE!!!

Votes for Blind

 * 1) Dead Man's Volley is pretty much old hat at this point, and the battle against the Cubus Sisters is the least satisfying one. Blind presents a well-rounded, challenging and frenetic fight though, even without sword and tunic upgrades (which some people require at this point; proving how badass he is!) and is just a cool cat overall. But dude, get some sunglasses? --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  23:01, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 3) It was blaringly obivious that the Cubus Sisters were a sham. Blind, on the other hand, was only mildly obivious. Also, his boss fight, backstory, character, etc. was just better, plain and simple.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:09, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 8) They are the pinnacle of appearance and behavior recycling, those cubus sisters.  They look like the poe sisters,they fight like phantom ganon, and they are annoying screaming females, like Princess Ruto.  DOES ANY ONE NOT SEE THAT?! ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 00:30, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * 14) My vote goes to Blind. He is one of the most memorable boss fights for me. Honestly, the first time I played it I'm like,  "Oh my God! It's a freakin' monster!"  Blind holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite bosses. --Braelolk (talk)

 * 19) Though the Diabolical Cubus Sisters are more frightening than Blind and I haven't battled them yet, I think the battle with him is harder and it's artwork is scarier, or at least that's what KirbyPlasmater thinks. April 9th, 2010

 * 1) The boss battle with Blind was much funner than the one with the sisters, and more challenging. Blind was also much less annoying obvious when we were meant to believe that he was an innocent maiden. The sisters were annoying and obvious, not to mention kind of stupid.
 * 2) Blind was a fun boss, and frankly, most older games are overlooked, so I'm voting for BLIND!!!!!!
 * 3) The sisters being evil was more predictable than the man in the jail being evil. Besides, he seperates his head from his body to attack you even more. That's what I call style.
 * 4) this is the first time in a long time where I have beaten both characters in the temple of courage while they are fighting in the TOC. I saw through the sisters as soon as I saw them but with blind it wasnt as obvious that he was bad.

Votes for Diabolical Cubus Sisters

 * 1) I normally refuse to vote in battles that have someone in a game I haven't played, but this is just a pity vote. I really hated the DBS, I felt like it was just a bad remake of the Poe Sisters in Ocarina of Time. And I normally don't give pity votes. I haven't even played the game Blind came from (which is why I didn't want to vote) but he seems like better competition then the DBS. I mean, really, how many times have we played Dead Man's Volley (but you do have to admit it's an awesome name for something) there's nothing about the DBS that I like. *sighs* only pity vote I've ever made, I feel like I failed myself. --ZeldaFanFreak (talk) 23:57, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I found this to be a difficult boss battle, and they were creepy opponents as well. I think that this was one of the instances where Phantom Hourglass did a good job.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 3) I actually liked this fight, and I thought it was done well.Hylianhero777 (talk) 16:02, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) The boss battle was fun and it was funny how every time the spiders come they scream and Reaplings start attacking you. A human 17:53, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I may regret this later, but I'm voting for the Cubus Sisters. I haven't fought Blind (though he looks really cool), but I have fought the Cubus Sisters. They are creepy and shoot things at Link. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png™ 17:45, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 7) They're behind, but I haven't played A Link to the Past far enough to fight Blind, so... TheUltimateHokage88 (talk) 05:09, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) Awesome bosses, nothing quite sooths your pain from hunting maidens than a nice game of Dead Man's Volley --Hydropanda (talk) 15:56, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) They're just really cool (only when you're battling them, not when they're like old ladies)-- Pink link

 * 1) While Dead Man's Volley is rather lame in most cases, the Cubus Sisters' way of doing it was actually fun, since the multiple foes, laser beams, and decoy energy blasts kept it from turning into a fight like Ganondorf's from OoT, where you just stand in a corner and time your sword strikes correctly. -Isdrakthul
 * 2) While I have never played the games with either contestant in them, I have several reasons for choosing the DBS.  One, they remind me of Miniblins!  Two, they are colored like the Wind Waker Poes AND the Poe Sisters, who are awesome.  And three, Pity vote!
 * 3) I never played Blind's game and the sisters were on the best Zelda hand held game.
 * 4) Thanks for making me choose the rupoor! And telling me how to stun the Reaplings! Innocent little girls. Right. Oh, I haven't played the game with Blind in it...

you Know, the two (or maybe i should say, five) bosses each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Blind has a good disguise at least (the sisters were bad), but the cubus sister at least don't go shoting you from every angle (that is the annoyance with blind). blind was so desperate to keep his identity secret, he disguised as one of the maidens (he disguised as a girl, a GIRL!), but the sisters were way too obvious (the oldest was the most cowardly of the four!). that might help with your votes a little. if you have more, post:)

 * I basically just listed what I thought of them and how I didn't like them, and why it was a pity vote. I really do hate doing pity votes, I just felt so bad for the DBS. --ZeldaFanFreak (talk) 19:53, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, I use pity votes when I think that the losing contestant is a good enough character/enemy/boss that it doesn't deserve to be completely dominated by its opponent. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 22:47, April 5, 2010 (UTC))
 * There were just so many votes for Blind and I felt so bad, I never do pity votes, for anybody. And I hate voting when I've only played on game. It's against all my morals *sobs* I must write to ease the pain. --ZeldaFanFreak (talk) 00:48, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * ....I don't even know what to say about that. I mean...and...just what? If you're going against your morals and hate pity votes and feel ashamed of giving one and feeling pain for doing this...why would you do it? I mean, seriously.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  05:10, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * Yeah, this is usually updated on Sundays, but I guess nobody got around to it this time around. Heh, but in all honesty, you don't know ToC delays unless you've been around to see some of the month-long fights we used to have where we would just them let sit there and rot.
