Yay! Theories for Soko! I'm so proud. *tears* I like the proverb Confettie and I like your analysis on it.

Confettie, are you saying that he is in fact a powerful bender? Or that he is sometimes? It was kind of unclear. But going along with that, I see what you mean, as if he is only as powerful as his surroundings, but if that was the case, then I'm pretty sure that he would be crap right now. I mean, don't get me wrong, surroundings are important- that's why he didn't fight as well against Katara in SOTN, and that could be the reason why he always seems to lose Aang-but they're not the whole picture. Being on a ship for almost three years, going into the middle of nowhere to track down some 12-year-old kid, going through all sorts of hell to keep him, and then being forced to become a refugee? That would mean that he should be re-going through his basics.
Me? I think that you can be powerful no matter what your surroundings are. I mean, at night when he was fighting Katara, he was putting his all into it (and was doing a heck of a job for there being a full moon and no sun). When he was fighting Aang those many times, he always managed to at least get him within his grasp.
And as I have said before, he's powerful, but not as powerful as he could be. His surroundings have an effect on that, but mostly it doesn't.

Erm... we're not debating in here. That's the judges' job. And actually, Confettie was saying that Zuko isn't a powerful bender.

Strong and powerful are different. Like Almighty stated, Confettie was saying that Zuko wasn't a powerful bender. Power is "yes, that person is powerful" or "no, that person isn't powerful." At least, that's how it is to me. Anyone can be powerful or strong sometimes...but for someone to actually be considered as a powerful person...well that's a kind of "yes or no" type of thing.

Sorry, but I actually wasn't debating, just throwing my opinion about what she said. It must've come off as something else. *shrugs*

Nah, it's ok. I didn't think you were really debating either... You were just trying to understand what she said and also (like you said) stating your opinion.

I really don't know how to state my opionon clearer. I have another idea about steriods. Using steriods is consider as cheating I hope we can all agree on that. So when Zuko is being power up by the sun its kind of like steriods. The sun enhances his power to more then what it normally is. So he's cheating. So we can't really even consider his state when he's being power up by the sun because that isn't his real state. I hope you can all see that.

When do you think his "real" power state is then?

You guys, cases are due right about now, if you have one. Just a little heads up.

Just to add, I think that his real power would show at sunrise or sunset. But I'm not sure...

I think we are talking about in general. I don't think the Sokoites are going to post theirs. Which is sad, because the stuff they had was really good!

Oh, well, everyone already posted theirs...but I guess since the votes aren't due until Thursday (tomorrow), then I guess you could post it.... You might want to ask Babbs or Cami, though.
