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

[Mr. Steve]

AM, get your final post in! Jesus.

 

[D-Man]

Talon needs to get his final post in, as well. Both his and Aweome_Miz's Punctuality points are in the shitter.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Just like Milenko at the end. Strange.

Looking forward to the judging though.

Me vs D-Man? I got a good topic. How interesting could a CM Punk/James Storm feud be?

It would truly be a display of debating excellence for which ever one of you could take the position of James Storm over CM Punk. It would impress the hell out of me if either of you could convince me that James Storm is even in the same league as Punk.

By the way, D-Man, who's judging in my debate with Paralyzer, you or Nate. Fine either way, just curious.

Nate said he'd be back today so I'm going to wait until he responds. If he doesn't judge by EOD today, I'll step in tomorrow.

D, I know we can't split points but is it possible that we don't award a point to someone at all? Or does every point have to be awarded?

Why do I feel this is about my debate?

 

[SavageTaker]

Because it's the one I'm currently judging?

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Is that a good thing?

No, it's not.

 

[D-Man]

What's the reason?

 

[SavageTaker]

What's the reason?

Well I already gave the point to Milenko in his debate. But I honestly thought neither man deserved it considering they didn't bring in any information in my opinion.

Like I said in there though, if I could I wouldn't award the point to anyone.

 

[D-Man]

Try not to reinvent the wheel, bro. Come on... you're just making things harder for yourself.

 

[SavageTaker]

I know, that why I decided to just award the point but made sure to point out that neither one deserved it.

Try not to be over-critical, man. Remember, you're not grading term papers. You're judging an online debate about professional wrestling. Try to have a little fun without throwing too much weight around. Know what I mean? Face-palm and shake your head all you want but at least try to enjoy yourself.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

I felt like my English Teacher was raping my work in front of the class back there. But 4-1, it's a start at least.

I get what you're saying.

One of the main things that I've liked is reading things that I don't think I would've came up with if I were to be the one doing the debating. Also, seeing people take a different way than I would've expected is interesting as well. Sometimes taking chances works and sometimes it doesn't, but it's still nice when people do take chances in their debates.

 

[Paralyzer Z]

I am narrowly ahead of Habs at the moment, the anticipation is rising.

You can concede now if you like, I wouldn't mind. Probably won't happen, just a friendly suggestion.

Should be close either way, possibly the closest one yet?

 

[Paralyzer Z]

I'll pass, I will remain in anticipation for the moment.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Would be interesting if it finished up 10-10. Not to say that is what's going to happen, but it would be interesting.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I can;t say I agree with the way the voting is going but them's the breaks.

I had fun even though I'm getting the boot this early

 

[SavageTaker]

Well it was obvious very little to no effort was given by either side in that debate, so I don't see how you could disagree.

Anyways, that debate shows that there are times were we, the judges, will agree on certain things.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

That can't happen. Rattlesnakes was the closest.

Sorry dude. 12-3 so far, I guess that's it then. Wanna shake now?

Well it was obvious very little to no effort was given by either side in that debate, so I don't see how you could disagree.

Yeah, I'll admit it was fricking awful. Like FunKay said, I will step it up big time next round.

SavageTaker said it... that debate was just God-awful. It's like minimal effort was put into it.

That can't happen. Rattlesnakes was the closest.

==================================

Man, that hatehabs vs Paralyzer debate breaks my heart. Just a tough, TOUGH decision. Sorry about how it ended up.
