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

[nightmare]

I'm hoping your strategy of being 'clear about what you're writing about' starts to come together soon...

 

[Hyorinmaru]

If punctuality meant jack shit they wouldn't have made it one of the criteria

 

[Mr. Steve]

I'm hoping your strategy of being 'clear about what you're writing about' starts to come together soon...

that's what I've just thought after reading your off topic post.

Yep. Check me out.

It really does mean jack shit. You can lose a debate and win the points in punctuality. that's just simple mathematics.

 

[nightmare]

Well, hell. I thought my opening post was pretty good...

I even used words to form points that were clearly typed in english. My task was to give my thoughts\examples on how Hogan has benefited TNA, so thats what I did.


But maybe I am just ******ed...


Just post your reply when you can homie. No worries, we got time.


In the meantime...

Ill sharpen my axe while I watch RAW and chop your reply to pieces when its over.

But Hogan's a flash in the pan that Dixie got by chance.

WAZZUP WITH THAT?

I'm pretty sure I meant to put didn't mean in there. It's been a long day

 

[nightmare]

I hope you have a good point and explain what you mean by 'flash in the pan' when referring to Hulk F'n Hogan.....


Ya, put that in your debate reply please... I would love to read that one.

Yeah, you clearly misread that one, homeslicedcheese.

Hogan being hired= flash in the pan for ratings that will have no sustenance. Shit's the same but Hogan doesn't help things.

 

[nightmare]

Second post is in and im feeling good about it. Kinda sleepy though.


Stay classy WZ....

 

[Johnny Scumm]

And with that, my first debate was over.

Good luck Pancake, it's down to the judges now.

 

[CH David]

I'll get to judging whatever debates get finished today, either tonight or tomorrow.

You're completely misusing the term "flash in the pan" there... sorry. I'd rather call it a publicity stunt.

Yeah, that one actually fits better.

Too be fair, it was a hell of a debate.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Too be fair, it was a hell of a debate.

And we finished first!

It was pretty good, may the judges judge.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Losing points on punctuality. ARGH.

I'm not gonna sleep from now on or move out of England.

 

[IHW]

So would it be considered 4 points to 6 points right now for Munk and Pancake or would it be 1 and 1?

 

[Nate DaMac]

4-6

 

[GI Cake]

So if I can just get 4 points out of the last 10, I can win this thing with a point to spare? I can dig that.

EDIT: This is where I point out how awful I am at math. I need just 5 points.

 

[ABMorales787]

I remember last year losing punctuality points in every debate because I was late every time. Now I clobbered this one in one day alone.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

For me it's solely because of where I live. If I wake up and Pancake has posted already, I'm not gonna reply immediately 'cos I need to compose myself, so I always lose a bit timewise there.

 

[GI Cake]

Got to love Eastern Time.

 

[D-Man]

I warned everyone of time frames, going in. Regardless of how the time zones are, I fail to see how it would impact your debating. You all have 24 hours in a day, no?

 

[IHW]

deanandterry vs. DirtyJosé has been amazing
