Welcome to the Forum Games Tug o' War thread!


What is going on here?
Since the Gender Race has been retired to further our goal of inclusion, we would like to present to you our brand new Tug o' War game!

Awesome! But erm... what is it?
It works much the same as before, but rather than having a game involving binary identity where not everyone may be able to participate, we will pick a (friendly!) subject to race / battle and you will post for the side you want to win!

You simply join whichever team you like, and you can even change sides if you find your opinion has swayed during the game, but please try to keep any switching for genuine changes of heart.

The subject for the next game will be voted on by YOU, and you will also be able to suggest new topics to vote on as well, so it's fully interactive!

I wanna vote!
A separate thread for voting and suggestions can be found stickied here.

Let's play! Gimme the rules!
Both sides of the battle will be assigned a role - up or down. If you want team UP to win, then you will simply ADD one to the number from the post above you. If you want team DOWN to win, then you SUBTRACT one instead!

We will start at 250. If team UP reaches 500, they win! If team DOWN reaches 0, they win!

To avoid a never-ending stalemate, each topic will run for around three months. If the game hasn't been won by that point, whichever side is leading wins! It could even be a tie! We will then move on to the next topic voted for by our members!

Remember to stick to the Forum Rules and try to keep the conversation flowing. You can talk about anything, such as the current battle subject, or even just daily chit-chat!


The subject for this round is:


Cats (UP)
vs.
Dogs (DOWN)



Scheduled end date: 17th November 2022


Let's begin!

But I'm slowly turning into a crazy cat lady so...

I like dogs more, although I do feel like cats will be the more popular option here.

I've had both, but cats ftw.

Starlight August 17th, 2022 2:24 PM

I've had a ton of dogs but only one cat a very long time ago. Might be time to change that!

Only ever owned cats. Speaks of a time long ago, though.

Megan August 17th, 2022 8:45 PM

We had a dog when I was little. It had an accident one night. In general, my experience with dogs isn't too pleasant. Like that one time in primary school were I was chased by a moderately large dog. Or that other time when I was small and that huge beast of a monster at my doctor's place jumped me.

Cats are cute. But they are also mean wall destroyers. xD

Love em both and I would love owing both tbh lol, but since now I have only had a wonderful dog, so yeah.

When I was young we had a cat and dog at the same time once.
Both had their own cat/dog beds... yet the cat would always wait for the dog to be in his so she could nap on top of him =P

They got along quite well. The dog was a Dalmatian and the cat's race idk... just a black cat.

ZeoStar August 18th, 2022 2:55 PM

We've had our family cat since I was in second grade.

She's still going strong.

Remembers one cat getting their head stuck in a television stand. Squeezed into a circular opening in the back (likely for cables). Forgets how that resolved. Might have cut out a bit of the back. (Consisted of thin material there, not glass or wood.)

Aquacorde August 19th, 2022 2:36 PM

256. awww poor dumb baby!! mine just get stuck on the porch because they know how to push a door but not how to get their paw under it to swing it back open

Aquacorde August 20th, 2022 6:25 PM

257

honestly i think a lot of people approach cats and dogs in the same way or assume they will/should act similarly when it's super not the case! like its obv when you think about it that they are very different animals but i think people approach them both under the category of "pet" and default to "dog behavior expected"

Devalue August 20th, 2022 6:44 PM

258

Never experienced too much weird behavior. (May have grown accustomed to it.) Brings up a personal favorite pet story, though.

Set up a fake tree for Christmas. Measured maybe seven feet tall. Decorated it with ornaments and a simple cloth angel at the top. (Maybe lights too? Recounts no issues of chewing wires.) Garnered some interest from the cats, but not tons. Hung out in the lower branches mainly. Knocked down an ornament occasionally (onto carpeting) while climbing it.

Left for a few hours one day. Returned home. Discovered the angel on the floor with its head torn off. Never touched the angel on any other day. Decided to behead it that day.

Sheep August 20th, 2022 7:40 PM

cats are absolutely everything! though I do love some dogs too, especially poms, I just prefer cats much more.

Do/did you sleep with your cat(s) and/or dog(s)?

Slept with a cat regularly. Knew when bedtime was. Usually never stuck around for the full night.

ReKoil August 22nd, 2022 11:03 AM

No, mine have never been in my bedroom. The various cats have napped just about everywhere else though xD

Megan August 22nd, 2022 8:36 PM

I don't own cats. But my mother's can go wherever they please; as long as they stay inside.

Dogs have a habit of sneaking onto comfy things like beds but the one cat I had was more of an outdoor soul

ReKoil August 23rd, 2022 11:52 AM

My cat tries to get outside sometimes.
I've been able to keep it in, but my parents have managed to let it outside twice now... the first time it took a couple days before she randomly returned at our backdoor.
The second time she was back the next morning =D

Devalue August 23rd, 2022 6:31 PM

Owned one indoor cat and one indoor/outdoor cat. Escaped their leash multiple times. Went on journeys...somewhere. Returned within 24 hours or so, probably. Really should have gotten something more secure.

Created Catwoman, but not Dogwoman, Dogman, or Dogperson. Suggests nothing remarkable about dogs.

Duck August 26th, 2022 5:15 PM

266

Catwoman is a villain, so clearly the only remarkable thing about cats is that they're evil.

Also, there are two famous super hero dogs (Krypto the super dog and Ace the Bat Hound) to no super hero cats.

Catman's a villain. More evidence that cats are evil.

I hope you realize that the lack of proper cat representation in movies is solely the result of ideological manipulations from the corrupt machinations of Hollywood. They don't show you what you like, they dictate it!

If there is any one animal that knows to advocate for itself, it's a cat.
If there aren't good cat role models in Hollywood, it's entirely because they want it that way (or at least don't mind it being that way).

What toys do/did your pets like?

Enjoyed a feather wand the most, probably. Remembers using a laser pointer sometimes too.

My cat ignores pretty much every toy I bought it.
Instead I can just grab a random twig out of the yard or a shoelace or something similar and she will immediately want to play with it.
I'm just happy she's still playful. She's not that young anymore.

Idle thought: Are "dog" and "cat" short words because of children? Learns to speak simplified versions of "Mother" and "Father" first often. Makes sense to learn other family members next. Probably not, though? Falls apart a bit with "brother" and "sister". Never heard a baby say "bro" or "sis".

When my parents moved here back when I was a kid, there were 2 cats that 'came with the house'.
One was an elderly cat and the other gave birth to a litter of kitties like a year after we moved here.
We kept three and gave the rest away as there were too many to take care of.
