10. Versus Game: Resolution
This is an actual game, and you can actually play it. I call it Sosa Shots. It's named after Ryan Sosa, whose Nuklear Power column, "Twinkin' Out", earned him the a reputation for debating hypothetical crossover fights. You know him as Red Mage. The rules of Sosa Shots are a bit more complex than Jerrit and Mori say. First, one player names two characters for a hypothetical battle. Then, the other player decides who would win the fight. If the first player disagrees, he can challenge the second player to defend his position. If the second player cannot offer some kind of logical explanation within 30 seconds, he takes a shot and the round is over. If he can give a logical explanation, the first player now has thirty seconds to counter the argument. If he cannot, he must take a shot. The players go back and forth until one of the players is either unable to offer a rebuttal, or has been convinced of his opponent's argument. At that time, the losing player must take a shot. If there is another person standing witness to the game, they can take a role as a mediator, and can intervene if they deem an argument "non-valid or "flawed". However, a mediator is not necessary to enjoy a game.
If at any point either player states that Optimus Prime would lose any given fight, that player must immediately take two shots. There are no excuses. Have some f@#$ing respect.
