The Great Debate!

[Dracos]

*blinks*

I thought ye excelled in strategy Rez?  *Has already a point value benefit/loss strategy for not only his entire team...but yours as well ^^*

I assume we aren't posting any official order...  because it would be unfair to Rez's team.

Drac's team. Where you're a number, not a member.

Well, no, we don't. Unless Rez *wants* too.

[Rezantis]

Drac... I have no idea where you got that idea.  I'm strictly an amateur.  :P

[Carthrat]

I think we established *that* when you picked Kwok.

^^

[Dracos]

I meant in general strategy, not in just debate.  Certainly I should have more experience here but even an amuteur should be able to see the best line possibilities for your team.

RAT...KP!  CHATROOM TODAY IF WE CAN

[Carthrat]

Ok, I'm setting a start date.

Sunday, 27th October. Upon this date, the first speaker of the Affirmitive will post...

...and it goes on from there. Three day intervals, no collaboration between associates after the debate has started.

And the word limit is 1500. I've devised a nasty punishment, too.

For each word over the limit, a member of the opposing team gets to remove any word he chooses from your piece.

*nods* Try not to screw up.

[Rezantis]

Can't be done, at least not be me...

I've got a lot to do between now and then.  And this is at the bottom of the priorities list.  ^^

[Carthrat]

Hmm.

That sucks.

I'll either knock it back further... but Rez, if you can, find a substitute.

[Dracos]

Suggestion:

I think several of us have a thanksgiving break coming up.  How about doing it then?

I don't think Rez has a Thanksgiving Day break.

But maybe Rez could tell us when his schedule will be clearer, since this was originally billed as Rez v. Rat with helpers^?^

Ogata-chan?

[Carthrat]

^^; I never looked at it that way. If I did, I would change it so it's Rez vs. Rat... in the boxing ring.

Personally, I don't mind too much when it starts, though I prefer the sooner the better...

Rez, when are you free? ^^

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



Not that it can't construed as something other than Rez v. Rat with helpers^^

[Carthrat]

Must... restrain... reply... can't.. argue... over... something... so... pointless...

[kpjam]

we need the practice^^

[Dracos]

Actually, in foresight, it's generally important merely to slam irrelevent arguments as exactly that and move on, rather then try and lower oneself to ripping them thoroughly apart when the opponent will likely agree and drop the shakey argument for their stronger pieces.  Knowing where to attack to be effective is important.
