Yes! And We're looking for Debators!

Half the forum are professional arguers: lets take it that one step further.

The Topic is a Hidden Topic..

Two positions are open on both sides.

Rules: 1500 word limit on posts.
          You have to post within 24 hours of the last post. Extensions will be given if asked for.

Two teams of Three, and... you don't get to pick which side! Nyahaha!

First come first served, and you work out positions within your team.

Four! Slots! Open!

Oh, you can just *tell* who'd win that one.

C'mon, peeps... Rat badly needs a hand here...  ^^

Judging will be done by the forum in general, I'll put up a poll once we're done.  Heheheheh.

I dunno....  Odds are I'd be flung on Rat's team which gives me a disadvantageous ally.  Hyum..

Sure...what the heck...IF you extend it to three days time.  I happen to have classes and can't risk a 24 hour period with this sort of thing.

Well, Goodbye.

Has the topic been set?
I know it's 'hidden' but does it exist or is there a list.
Also, what if both sides decide on the same position, is another topic picked?

Probably doesn't have the time to get involved, but thinks Rat could use a little help.

Hmm... I'm in, if anyone wants me.  Not the greatest debator, but I'm excellent at diffusing arguments.

^^;

Oh, gee.  I can just see it.  If I'm on Rez's team, I'll egg him on, and if I'm on 'Rat's... I'll mess with Rez's head.  Of course, he'd be in professional debating mode, so I don't know how well that'd work.  ^^;  O-oh, dear.

Anyway, although I'm not the greatest debator, I'm not bad at all.

KP: Yes, the topic has been set, and Rat and I know who's arguing for and against.

Calendar:  I don't have a professional debator mode.  ^^

Rez, you are a definite wanna-be debator.

Count me as tentative until more specifics about timing can be made.  It sounds interesting, but as my lack of any talking indicates, my schedule is pretty busy.  ^^

Diffusing arguments? Why'd you wanna do that? o_O

And it's nice to see that everyone has such great faith in me. I'm not *that* bad that I count as a negative >_<

It's not that you are bad.

It's merely respect for Rez.  In a debate, you are only as strong as your weakest links.  ^_~  It's why I loved doing solo over team stuff.  Team only works if everyone is at the same level basically or if you only have one speaker.

*shrugs*

Well, Goodbye.

Carthrat

Eh. Don't I know what you mean.

One more slot, people! To further entice you, it's a *religious* topic!

* Calendar blinks.

Eheheheh... Ooh, I'm glad I'm in this one.  I have much to say for and against religion.

Sadly, it is my best topic, mostly because I read up on anti-religious and religious points.

Eheheheh...

Oh, I forgot.

Rez:  You better hope you have a debator mode... because if you don't, and I'm on the other team, then I know exactly how to trip you up.  Of course, I don't have a debator mode, but no one trips me up when I'm debating religion.  ^^  Of course, you've never tried to trip me up, so we'd have to see how that works.

No one has answered my question.

Well, Goodbye.

Rezantis

You haven't asked a question.
