Your assertion that the Ranmaverse has logic is a failure. It does not. It has plot fiat. Takahashi's fiat, as the writer/creator. Your opinions on the subject matter fuck-all, as the series has been over for twenty years and counting; however they also would have mattered fuck-all when it was being written.

Your idea/assertion that Ukyou ever had a chance with Ranma is a falsehood. Your opinions on the subject will never change that inescapable reality. Nor will any amount of complaining to the cosmos, as you clearly seem determined to do. I suppose this is the wall you've chosen to smash your head against.
This wasn't about Ukyo having a chance, it's about the story following it's own rules, and I think your point about fiat, while valid, is part of the problem.

Ranma-chan wins on martial arts cooking contests - fuck Ukyou's experience. :p
Actually possibly valid, but why would Ranma-chan be in this one? Unless she was trying to get out of all the engagements.

Why wouldn't she? Especially if the 'competing for the validity of their engagements' part is something unofficial and/or secret, thus they have no excuse to kick Ranma out when he/she finds out. (Well, they have the excuse that it's for the girls only; that's why it's Ranma-chan who's participating.)

He'd have to actually start using his brain to read, so no, probably not.

Brains are overrated anyway...
Mmm... brains :drool:

I remember reading a fan fiction quite a number of years back where Ranma and the others stocked a new house with furniture made by Amazons to take Amazon level abuse...

I also remember reading a harry Dresden crossover (no, not with Ranma) where he sticked a new house with all solid ak furniture so it would last better when he had fights in the house.

My memory tells me that there's more than one. But it's been a long time, and I can be mistaken.

Isn't Skysaber the guy who Youma'd out into perfectlionheart?
When he acquired enough sycophantic fanboys, he became a demon.

You mean he outed himself.

It's an offshoot of part of Metroanime's The Bet, A Bet Too Much where Ranma gets the wishing sword from Kuno, he wishes he was married to someone who loves him and he has a cure and that Nabiki was nicer to him, disappears off somewhere and rings appear on all the fiaence's fingers except Akane (includes Nabiki and Kasumi

Yes
 
In defense of Skysaber, he's capable of writing funny, insightful things; and he has some good ideas in his stories at times.

He's also capable of coming across as completely batshit crazy and borderline psychopathic.

He's quite intelligent, he's just a bit... high-spirited (yes, the dub is annoying, but it fits, here).

If he acknowledged the existence of constructive criticism (and knew when to accept it), he could grow to be a very good writer.

This is the internet, there's no such thing, only trolls trying to make you quit

That was sarcasm, right Ero? You don't actually think the plot device from the third worst story arc in the series sounds good, do you?
What are numbers 1 & 2, then?
Gambling King and 10 year sauce. On top of the stories themselves being kind of lame they also explain part of the noodle incident that is Ranma's past, which really is better left vague.
Is it bad that I can explain 2 of these 3 arcs now? Even if the idea springs from an Ozz short?

To be fair, it's been a while since the previous post.

Yeah, when its over 24 hours, I don't see the point in even considering it as a double-post.
