I tried pitting Lunar-Net against the Wikipedia citation for the Moon at this one site. (http://www.side-quest.com/sqgames/sitebattle/). It wasn't pretty.

Let the battle... BEGIN!!
lunar-net.com [370/370] hits en.wikipedia.org [1107/1110] for 3 damage.
lunar-net.com [370/370] hits en.wikipedia.org [1098/1110] for 9 damage.

lunar-net.com [370/370] hits en.wikipedia.org [1035/1110] for 1 damage.
en.wikipedia.org [1035/1110] hits lunar-net.com [0/370] for 536 damage.
lunar-net.com has fainted!
en.wikipedia.org IS VICTORIOUS!

But this seems fairly neat. It is a fairer match against, say, http://www.phantasy-star.net (it won).




I've also tried doing a battle of the news agencies. CNN at first trumped the BBC, and the Christian Science Monitor, but got beat up by NPR (http://www.npr.org). (Due to its having a speed of greater than 1 and a formidable attack.) Then in its turn it took down MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, NBC, and even a seemingly powerful CBS. PBS fell, and Wikipedia got close before falling in disgrace. (In subsequent simulations Wikipedia can win; it depends on whether Wikipedia can knock NPR out in two hits.) Looking for better ideas, I tried RPGFan, Gamesarefun (again a close one), Arts and Letters Daily, Google, and Yahoo. And I have no more to find, but if anyone wants a challenge, find a site that is able to take down NPR consistently.

I couldn't find any news site that could take down NPR. USA Today and the NY Times both only had a speed of 1 for some reason. But yeah, this is fun. Good find.

edit: Oh yeah, in the spirit of this post, I challenge anyone who feels that they are capable of besting Microsoft.

Why in the hell would you pit little ol' LunarNET against Wiki-freakin'-Pedia? That's just wrong! What are you trying to do? Kill me?

Hey, we can beat GameSpot at least.

Remember Google Fight? It pits two websites against each other by how many search results they have on Google. The one with the most hits on Google wins. This is sorta like this. However, it somehow (not sure how) converts various website info into RPG Stats. It then determines a winner by running a battle simulation.

Actually, no. :(

Oh, okay; that clears things up nicely. So there's some kind of online location where you type in the two URLs, and what's been posted in this thread is a cut-and-paste of the fight results, then?

It is possible for NPR to win here, though this is a good matching... Microsoft is fast enough to where it can pull three good hits, and if any one of them is large (200+), it can knock the other out before NPR can womp.

It has made me laugh that on the most used thing, where before there was 4chan and such, now there's NPR with 29 (and lunar-net putting a solid showing too).

A few other interesting results -
Lunar-Net got trounced by Kizyr's Xanga site and Starmen.net.

Or a SMAAAAASH (probably to many a's in that) HIT! in the case of starmen.net.

I'm really curious as to how these stats are generated. I think these guys should make some sort of Pokemon clone based around this concept.
