Sideline thread for debate conversations...

[anathelia]

Come on Sam, I was thinking more like 'Was Dumbledore right to keep Harry in the dark about his true destiny?'

:24::24: You crack me up.

Twilight: Team Jacob or Team Edward. Pick your side and defend it



:24:

I hate you.

Now there's a debate that I'd stand a chance in

I actually like this one....

Done.


I'll post the official thread shortly.


Ladies first, HK will lead off.

:24:

At least it isn't Twilight

 

[HK]

Omfg.


There are no words for how delighted I am right now.

I need to think about which side I want. Holy shit this is awesome.

 

[retro]

Now I have to start coming up with argument for both sides. lol

 

[HK]

We still get 24 hours between posts to think, yep?

I probably won't post tonight. It's already 9:30 and I'm about to give up the laptop, so I'll do some thinking, and post in the morning.

I am so. freaking. excited.

 

[freakofnature]

Fixed.

Sorry.... I mentioned I had food poisoning, right?


Anyway... congrats to HK. People felt that the debate between HK and Butterfly was the best one of the Tournament and that HK presented her arguments better, even if they didn't agree with her position.

Retro vs Zirc- all comments came down to "Zirc just seemed to lose heart. I get the feeling she is really anti death penalty and had no heart for the pro side of it. Retro in a walk."

:eek Are you serious?? No one believed that I was for the death penalty?? Well, I guess that proves I'm a terrible actor. :24: It's true, I'm not pro-capital punishment but sometimes I like to play devil's advocate so I figured I'd see where it went. Not far, apparently. I didn't stand a chance against Retro anyway. He knows what he's talking about. :thumbup

 

[retro]

He knows what he's talking about. :thumbup

Aww, thanks. Though I think I just do a good job of pretending. :willy_nilly: I appreciate the complement though

That's correct, 24 hours.



For the next tourney, the rules are up to Retro. He can either go with what I did or go to a straight poll or whatever.

Totally up to him. It'll be his show once this round is over.

We'll probably go with the same rules for this next one... so we keep things consistent.

 

[HK]

Are you going to have a breather, or just dive straight on?

We'll do signups after our finals have concluded and the results are announced. Then we'll probably get going a few days after we get people signed up. That'll give me time to come up with topics, and set up brackets and such.

 

[retro]

you're up again HK

 

[freakofnature]

Hey retro, have you ever read the Sword of Truth series? Your arguement about choice and prophecy mirrors that of Richard's (from Sword of Truth) view of prophecy.

 

[retro]

I actually haven't ever read it. One of those things that I've meant to, but never got around to.

It's an excellent series if you like fantasy.

I do indeed love fantasy... I'll have to check them out.
