Battle Of The Stereotypes!

Hurah for boredom. This is a poll to see which steretype you think would win in a mass battle!!! Lets review the stereotypes!

Gangstas/Rappas/Homie G's: Not very intelligent, but they do have a very large number of soldiers and relatively good resources in the gun department.

Preps/Jocks/Cheerleaders: Not very good in the number category, but do have alot of cash, and the jocks are considerably strong physically. Also the cheerleaders can seduce the enemy.

Emos/Goths/Punks: Don't have alot of cash, but they do have some ingenous ideas when it comes to homemade weapons, and are balanced in numbers. Are also very vicious. (Don't yell at me because I grouped emos with goths. There really isn't much seperating them besides intelligence levels)

Nerds/Geeks/Dorks: They're pissed after all these years of getting beat up. They are balanced in money and numbers, but don't have alot of physical prowess. They do have very high intelligence levels, and they have access to alot of chemicals. Here's to mustard gas!

(Poll coming soon)

emo/goths/punks would definately demolish the rest. The emos and goths are pretty much irrelevant to the outcome, but who would want to face a swathe of besrker punks?

The geeks would have the foresight to look into their surroundings from a tactical standpoint, will have studied military strategy, and have the know how to develop effective (albiet improvised and primitive) mechs.

Lets see how the gangsta's gats, the jock's fist, and the emo's whining goes up against that.

Still has to make it. Gangstas inherently come with guns and experience, not to mention having been shot at least twice, they have high pain tolerance. *nodnod*

Anyone who's ever seen any of the Revenge of the Nerds movies knows that the 'Nerds/Geeks/Dorks' group will win.

There's enough Nerds/Geeks/Dorks who could easily infiltrate the Emo/Goth/Punk group, seeing as there is some room for cross-over between the two. The higher levels of the intelligence for the Nerds should result in them controlling the coalition.

Using their natural nerdy savvy (such as the many clever ploys of the 'Nerds' movies), the Geeks will then lure away the Cheerleaders or persuade them enough to leave the jocks controlled by the Cheerleaders.

The Gangsta/Rappers/Homies have no chance against this coalition.

Pfft, the emos would just slash their wrists and perish, the goths are too apathic to fight and the punks can't do much alone with their (relatively) small numbers. The nerds shall inherit the world!

The Nerds/Geeks/Dorks will probably ally with the Emo/Goth/Punk group, as both are treated like shit by everyone else. Also, both of the groups previously mentioned will easily be able to hire the spys in this mass battle, the loners. The loners can easily infiltrate any group, as no one notices them. Loners won't be hired by Gangstas/Rappas/Homie Gs because the Gangstas are just far too stupid, and they won't be hired by the Preps because the Preps make their life hell. And dude, I doubt nerds could actually lure Cheerleaders away.

The morons (http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2004/01/21/bush3.jpg) control the world's largest supply of nuclear weaponry and have some of the largest numbers and millions (if not billions) of cross overs. After destroying the numbers of the other groups, they shall nuke the remaining and easily destroy the few nerds that survive by building a shelter and wearing tin foil hats.

The emos might slit everyone elses' wrists, but my money's on the nerds, simply because most nerds know how to finish people off and will act upon it if attacked.

11-04-2006, 21:17
Well, nerds have a pretty good chance, because they would try to make all sorts of weaponry.
But I'm gonna go with the punks, the goths and emoes probably wouldn't do much. Well except for those freaky goths with their axes and knives etc. They would make a good chance, but punks are just into rebellion and believe it or not, they would be able to get themselves pretty decently organised.
Oh and they're just the most hardcore in the bunch

Nerds. They would use their tactical brilliance to cut off the Gangstas' supply of ho's. Then they would use deconstruction to undermine the power base of the jocks and preps. Finally, they would wipe out the emos by bringing in Schopenhauerian pessimism to push them over the edge so they will kill themselves en masse.

Geeks by default.

The ganstas will kill each other, the cheerleaders and jocks will be off having sex, and the emo kids will be crying in a corner feeling sad for themselves.

Besides, geeks have all the strategy down from years of playing D&D, WoW and Risk.

It's gotta be the gangstas. They've all been in shootouts with each other and the police enough times to be prepared to any explosives the nerds or punks might have concocted. Besides that they're all armed to the diamond studded teeth. Nobody could understand what they're saying either, defending them from infiltration. 'Yo Biggie, take G Mack and go rep on the WS, y'hear' 'Word, yo'('Biggie, G Mack, perform a flanking maneuver from the west, acknowledged?' 'Acknowledged, sir')

A large weightlifting woman in lingerie, on the other hand, would swiftly bring an end to the battle. Those who didn't flee her disturbingly muscular everything would be crushed.

Not really, the guys in the cars would most likely get to make a get-away. Thus the gangstas would win, as they're the only faction with surviving members.

Preps, jocks and cheerleaders would so totally win with the money, the looks, and the body skills! =)

(The preppy & cheerleading gals would so totally seduce the nerds/geeks/dorks (unless the jocks beat those weaklings up) to join their team and then they'd all use the money and smartness to defeat the rest of the stereotypes. And all the while, the cheerleaders would be cheering their teammates on so that they: a.) keep their team in a good mood to "WIN, WIN, WIN!", and b.) annoy and damage emotionally the emos/Goths/punks and gangstas/rappers/Homie Gs.)

That's what we are talking about. We're not bullshitting that nerds would be able to hold their own against those who grew up in a gang in LA...but those little punks who turn their caps around, listen to rap, wear chains and suddenly they're "gangsta"...that's a different story.

Hell with grouping emo and goths, you grouped emo and punks. Punks go out of our way to disown those whiners!

If the punks are just your run of the mill, mohawk bearing, DK loving punkers, they'd do some good damage. If they were skinhead/streetpunks/some of the hardcore gangster types, there would be no stopping them.

That said, the nerds would just build a nuke and blow the fuck out of the rest of them.

Still, give them a couple minutes to adapt, and they'll be building high explosives and wiping out punks (at least those punks that haven't joined them) and gangstas.

The Preps and Emo-Kids will have run away because they're all talk and no backbone.

It's basically a compliment here, more than anything.
