''Appelmonkey's "Dissenting Opinion" Edges'

Dagger Cane vs. Fire Axe: Yeah I checked, it's a dagger that's hidden inside of the cane, not a sword, and it's not like Alex will have any chance to use it. Jack won't be brought in a false sense of security to the point that Alex can suddenly pull it out and use it on him, and he will be forced back by the axe's superior reach when he does pull it out. No, he will stick to mostly using the cane and they aren't exactly the most lethal of weapons. The fire axe does have its downsides, mainly that its heavy which causes Jack's attacks to be highly telegraphed, but one straight-up hit and Alex will be pretty fucked. Edge: Jack Torrance

Razor and Groin Protector vs. Ghosts: I won't count Alex's use of improvised weapons cause here is the deal: so can fucking Jack and Alex just picks things up and smacks people with them, he doesn't turn them into lethal weapons through skill alone. All he will find the motel is furniture and some decorative items, not exactly lethal objects. Anyway, Jack easily gets this. A straight razor is a shit weapon, only really lethal when it strikes an artery and it's way too short. While the ghosts can't kill they can trap Alex by closing doors, distract him and causing him to panic and if he runs and hides the ghosts can tell Jack where to find him. Edge: Jack Torrance

Deadliest Psycho: Jack Torrance! I have no clue how Alex is getting any votes. While he is more experienced when it comes to smacking dudes across the head, Jack is physically stronger, isn't likely to flee the fight, can take much more punishment, has a weapon that's actually lethal, and the ghosts can do all kinds of bullshit to mess with Alex. I don't see our favorite droog standing a chance.
