Oniomancer Posted August 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Tough call. The fairy's a real lightweight but the mermaid can't handle a hook. Ah, what the hell, I'll put a fin on the mermaid. The scales are in her favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangepeaceful79 Posted August 14, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Describe the arena, please. Arena is underwater. Fairy is allowed a breathing apparatus if unable to make some magical spell happen to allow for respiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rashore Posted August 14, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Um, a mermaid is a kind of fairy. So it would depend on what kind of fairy the mermaid is set against. Is it another mermaid or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted August 14, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Brillaint idea for a thread series. You should have added a poll! Erm, this is a difficult one, it depends if Mermaids are the evil Siren type or the disney type. lol If it was Tinkerbell vs Ariel, I'd go for Tinkerbell. If it was the myhtical Siren Mermaid vs the Mythical Fairy, I'd got for the Mermaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaentum Posted August 14, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Arena is underwater. Fairy is allowed a breathing apparatus if unable to make some magical spell happen to allow for respiration. In that case fairy loses in about 2 seconds. Can't fly underwater so no way to dodge attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda just figured that all this paranormal stuff is pretty ridiculous to start with, so why not take it all the way to absurd. I catch myself taking it way to seriously at times and this seemed like a great way to keep things light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Chubb Posted August 14, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mermaid to win this one, only due to the home advantage... By the way Orangepeaceful, I never thought I would see a thread on Mermaids and Fairies without people jumping in to add 'they're not real' comments. Well played on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepeaceful79 Posted August 15, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm sure there were those who thought such a discussion would be frivolous - after all we are usually busy discussing the very critical issue of cryptids....but its always easier to stay awake in math class after one has had a bit of recess, now isn't it? I'd have to say my my money would be on the mermaid in this situation. Now mermaid vs. nessie? That might be a whole other ball of duct tape.

For example if we bring Nessie in, is it Plesiosaur Nessie or Long Necked Newt Nessie? Or am I just ruining things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepeaceful79 Posted August 15, 2012 Author #19 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I say the rules are fudgeable, debateable, and subject to each poster's whim. It'll make things more interesting. probably ought to start a new thread though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rashore Posted August 15, 2012 #23 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Well, since no one said what kind of fairy is up against the mermaid... I choose Ankou. Ankou is a reaper of the fairy realm, and death is sure to kick butt over any other fairy, including mermaids But if using fairy death is considered cheating... Leanan Sidhe is a good choice I think- she will suck a mermaid dry for her cauldron I'm sure there would be better fairies to use, but I didn't feel like digging around this morning, lol. Edit: I do think fairy vs mermaid is funny... it's kind of like saying animal vs lion. Edited August 15, 2012 by rashore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the mermaid won just to get devoured by Nessie. Maybe there will be a second chance round for runner up later on. we can split hairs over fairy types then.

Just a lot of wee folk lore out there that people don't know about. A lot of criptids, ghosts, and other random lore are fairy based. But hey, I'm loving the deathmatch action... gives a lot of folks some crossover action into new lore. Edit: gagh, I loathe the word fairy.
