Could a mod sticky this?

So far we've had several different types of tournaments. We've had Simbattling, game tournaments, ect. Now for a different type.

This will involve one on one debates betweent two people, each which is to last three weeks. At the end of those three weeks, each member will be allowed a final post, and then judged by me on who won.

All members will be placed at first, and then after the end of a debate, the winners go on to fight another winner, while the loser is out.

There will be several sides on various topics you're in that you might not normally be on, but this is to test how well you argue, not what you agree with. However, if possible, I will try to get you to be on a side that you agree with.

So, who'd like to register for this tournament?

Sure, I'll do it... just note that I will be out of town the second week of August and unable to post.

*you want sticky, here is your sticky*

Have you cleared this with Rogue though? It is her forum after all.

would love to, but i'll pass. i dont like arguing. some ppl are just too thick headed, which has nothing to do with this contest, but yeah. anyways, 3 weeks is a long ass time =/ and being judged by one person isnt too fair.

but anyways, i'll pass XD

No offense, but I don't trust in your ability to keep your personal opinions out of the judging.

Nothing personal. I'd say the same to anyone else.

Okay, that's five.

As for checking with Rogue, I didn't, but I did check with Xeolord first.

One more, then we will probably start. Honestly though, then I'd like more of the better, more regular people that debate.

Hey, work with what ya got buddy, I'm not all THAT bad...

But seriously, I'll make sure I'll do a good job. Are there any ground rules for this, and will the topic be unveiled anytime soon? Or will we wait until we get that last person...?

Oh, sorry, I miscounted.

Okay, I'll be maing a match for each of you, and once each of you are done, you go to the next round.

If you lose twice in a row, then you're out. Otherwise, you stay.

Now, these are the people competing:

Makura
geeogree
atticusrox
Elara
Johnny literal
X Marks the Spot

If these are the only people participating, this is how they will go for the first round:

Elara vs Makura in evolution. Elara will go against it, and makura will go agreeing with it.

Geeogree vs atticusrox in atlantis. Geeogree will go against it, atticusrox will be for it.

Johnny Literal vs X Marks the Spot in whether guns should be legal. X will be against it, while Johnny will be for it.

_____________________

I will start the topics monday, so PM me by then if you would like a change in your position.

Now for the ground rules:

#1 If one person goes a week without replying to the debate, he loses, and it's over.

#2 post more than just what you think. Post why you think it, and possibly the evidence.

#3 Stay on the topic. If you move on, I will only judge by whatever you said about the main topic.

_____________________

Now, like I said before, you have until monday night, and then I'll start the tournament.

uh, even tho i'm not in it, i'd like to say something still...

atlantis!? isnt that a little be vague =/ how does one go against it? the whole argument would be, uh, "it doesnt exist..." guns are already legal, and it's in the constitution that you have a right to bare arms. for one to go against evolution, one must believe in god, and i dont think elara believes in that guy =/

Okay, since avatar says she could be in it if we really need him, he'll go against Cyro in a battle on the War on Terror. Cyro will agree with it, and Avatar against it.

As for guns, we can move that as to whether one should be able to posses one, ignoring the constitution.

And now we fight, with me making slight alterations.

So how are you managing this? Topic-wise I mean.

Are you assigning topics to each pairing? One topic for all? You can't pick something that everyone will either agree about or copy each other's responses to.

I'm creating a new topic for each debate. This makes it so that it is more organized.

They each will never debate about the same thing someone else has debated about.

So I have to argue why I'm for the war on terror? Do we choose which side of a debate we're on or do you?
