2012 Debater's League: Smack Talk and General Discussion Thread

[Hyorinmaru]

And the first shot has been fired.

I have to say I'm happy with my opener.

 

[Mr. Steve]

I see nightmare choosing to debate that Hogan in TNA is good in the long run. I want to shake my head, but then again...I chose to debate that Ted DiBiase would be a World Champion in the WWE before Cody Rhodes last year...and won.

That's a whole other situation. It's making a star (Rhodes or DiBiase) vs. Someone delegating star power to other people. Keep in kind...this is professional wrestling.

 

[Paralyzer Z]

Pretty satisfied with my opener, nice and long, and now await the Rattlesnake's reply.

 

[GI Cake]

I am going to rebel against this trend of adding a title to every paragraph.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

you mean where I made a point and the backed it up with facts?

 

[¡Roján!]

Yup, that copy and paste really thickened it up, content-wise.

 

[GI Cake]

I mean that I trying to make a paragraph that can capture a point without the need of a title for every point I want to make.

True but not too much, there is a lot more to it other than the accomplishments.

to each his own

 

[GI Cake]

to each his own

That's not what I was expecting considering this is a debate.


In all my English Classes since Middle School, I never had a teacher that advised to add titles before every paragraph in any persuasive essay. It just seems unnecessary if you can make your point across without a title.

Hey, yo', D-Man, is it okay if someone on my behalf starts a feedback thread?

In unrelated matters, anyone want to start a Feedback thread pending D-Man's approval? Tah.

Feedback thread? What do you mean?

 

[GI Cake]

Feedback thread? What do you mean?

I'm thinking Rohan wants to do something like in WZCW where we can give feedback to each other in our debates.

 

[¡Roján!]

Pancake, that looks like an offer from you to post the thread, if D-Man approves, to me. I may take your word for that one, huh?

 

[CH David]

I don't see why you would need a feedback thread when this one is here. Though a change in thread title to "Debate Tournament Discussion" or something would be nice.

 

[Larry]

Well I did what I can do. Haters Gonna Hate. Things aren't looking too good for our hero, but I will live to fight another day. Good luck to all the contestants.

 

[D-Man]

CH David reminded me to change the title of this thread, so consider it done.

As for a feedback thread, David's right; this thread can do you all just fine. I can almost guarantee that if you started your own individual threads, they'd all become failures quickly. Nothing against you guys but the DL hasn't always been the biggest draw for anything outside of the debates and chat threads.

 

[D-Man]

By the way, I moved the Ask a Question Thread as a sticky thread in this section. There is no reason for you all to gain post count by asking questions about the league.

Well, damn. Some of those questions are very hard to think up. Shame on you!

 

[Mr. Steve]

I bet Talon is the only one who fucks up on the DT

I'm refraining from giving him shit about it. I hope he can put in a solid showing against Mitch.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Hey D-Man, I have a question regarding the topic for my debate.

The topic is "Was the Raw General Manager guest host concept a success or bust?"

Does that refer to the Guest host concept (which is ongoing), or the guest host being the GM of the show concept (that ended back in 2010).

I am working on my reply now, but can't finish it until I am sure of the criteria you are asking.

I went with them being the GM of the show.

 

[Stormtrooper]

I went with them being the GM of the show.

That's what I was thinking, and what I am writing about. I am gonna wait for D-Man to confirm before I post though, just to be sure.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Well I hope I made the right choice because if not then I'm fucked
