Sign up here: First Debate Tournament of 2008

Threads are now up in the debate forum for the secondary tournament.

It's a non-elimination tournament worth 1 ranking point per victory. Whoever accumulates the most ranking points in the course of the secondary tournament is the victor. We probably wont carry it out to a full 8 rounds, but I'm not ruling that out if you guys want to. I suspect that 3 or 4 rounds will be enough to give us a clear winner.

Some interesting topics for the lose..... I mean secondary tourney.

I real like mine and chissler's. Should be an interesting round.

I am excited to read your debate. I have ideas about that issue already, so I can't wait for the results.

The suppressed energy one should be interesting also.

Congrats to TLomon and Semper for a really great debate.

That's going to be a very tough one to judge. I thought that both had some pretty strong arguments.

MemoryShock and Sublime have a really great argument going too! I can't wait to see the results!

Good luck all!

And you're a monster, Sublime...

I'm glad you laughed at the falling into a mountain quip...I came up with that still half asleep and nursing a slight hangover...

I can't wait to see the results of semperfortis and Tlomon as well. That was an excellent debate.

hey everyone..its been like a year since ive been on here..whens the next debate...im up for debating again..also...the site has changed alot..so can someone point me to the current debate going on?

Bleh. I just wished I read the rules a tad more closely. I am not 100% pleased how my closing argument turned out, but the rules are the rules, and I failed to read them in their entirity. At least next time I will be more prepared.

Sure they are right here debate forums

Cheers and welcome back!

This is the hardest part of debating for me... waiting for teh judges response. Kills me.

I'm floating in acid right now...

It is the worst part; waiting that is.


We should probably discuss, "Cheerios vs. AppleJacks."

I vote Cheerios...with sugar...

Wait, but isn't cheerio's with sugar essentially apple jacks?

Ohhhh, Touche.

What if one were to combine Apple Jacks AND Cheerios? Like a "Cheeriack"?

Or is there no room for compromise in debates?

This debate is horrible. I just hope TheDuckster doesn't take what I write personally. This is like a loose loose debate for me here

I tells you, the suspense is ripping me apart.

And Truth...."Cherriacks"...?

Hey... so I never knew how all of you debator champions got that awesome line to go across your post when separating points, and I hate asking questions so I never asked anyone.

But then I noticed today when I quoted a post that quoted someone and it had

in it.

Is that how you do the line? I don't mind asking if there's a chance I know the answer and look smart (unless I'm wrong and then I'm going to edit the post to say something else).

*edited to add:

I'm retarded. I could have just typed [more out and then edited it instead of doing all this. I'm leaving this post just to show how dumb I am.

Would you prefer Appleerio's? Mmmmmm...Appleerios...

With a conspiracy twist, er, hole, as it were....

"Appleario's....not just for breakfast anymore!"

I really need to get a life....

And Sublime...I'm not going into my horror stories regarding all of the posting bells and whistles. I have one particularly embarrassing story that thankfully only one person on the board knows about....and he's been sworn to secrecy...
