ILP v. ILO Debaters

Congratulations to those that your peers have selected to represent you in this debate:

Here are the results:

Xunzian: 24 (ILP Team Leader)
Carleas: 21
Tabula Rasa: 12
Smears: 9 (If there is a fourth debater)

Xunzian, you indicated in a thread that, “I would just as soon have three debaters,” should I consider this an official objection to a fourth debater? If so, Carleas and Tabula Rasa, please cast a vote as to whether (or not) you would like to have a fourth debater.

Any changes to the debate rules and structure are now between you guys and the debaters of ILO, you have 48 hours to post any potential changes to the debate rules/format, and then such changes will be voted on by the debaters. In the event of a tie, the judges will only vote to break the tie.

Your opponents are:

Gamer (ILO Team Leader)
SomeoneIsAtTheDoor
Silent Soliloquy
O.G.?..Gift Please (If there is a fourth)

Well, if Smears doesn’t mind, and they have four debaters, I’m okay with four contestants our side.

Thanks for the votes by the way everybody. I shall try not to disappoint.

Wewt! Let the games begin!

Before we go either way, I’d like to see what the format is.

Also, how will topics be decided and the side the individual in question is arguing? There is quite a range of interests and specialties represented in that group. Are we doing the debates tag-team style or one-on-one?

“Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins!” cried the three little ILP(iggies).

Best regards,

U.R. Wrong, Esquire

(congrats)

The original idea was three 3 on 3 debates.

I suppose a fourth debater would just make it three 4 on 4 debates, unless anyone wants to offer another suggestion.

How about:

*We pair up the opposing teams by geographic proximity.

*Using Google Earth we select a bar exactly halfway between any given pair.

*Using a neutral third party with a camcorder uploading to youtube we settle disputes between pairs via no-holds barred bare-knuckle fighting.

I bags SS.

I’ll argue if I must. So long as people promise not to cry to me about thier hurt feelings. What’s the topic again? ILP is better than ILO?

4 on 4, 3 on 3. I’m OK either way at the end of the day.

4 on 4, three debates, topics in a day or two.


Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am here to regretfully inform you that TheAdlerian has revoked his offer to participate in this debate as judge. TheAdlerian had legitimate reasons for doing so and did not feel as though he could operate as judge to the fullest extent given his present work-load.

At the same time, I am excited to announce to you that our replacement for the third judge of this debate will be none other than Phaedrus.

I believe that Phaderus will be completely unbiased in his judging of this debate and will consider the debate of both sides without so much as a hint of favoritism, topics will be announced tomorrow or the day after.

Let the games… begin! :happy-cheerleaderkid:

I could see that otter in a nightmare, that expression looks evil and mischievious :laughing: :laughing:
