Gauging Interest

[FromTheSouth]

After the wild success of TM's debate league, I have decided to start my own in the Lounge.

It will, of course, focus on newsworthy items, current events, overarching political arguments, and moral issues. I will not be debating, as much as I would love to, but I will be judging. I need two other judges and 10-20 debaters to make it work.

We won't be starting until after TM's league, but I do want to gauge the interest in doing something like this. We will be determining a winner and loser, but will have categories for points to serve as tie breakers in the standings.

Who's in?

 

[gd]

I'd probably judge

 

[Razor]

Eh....I'd love to post, but my time would be better spent judging, honestly. If you find me competent of judgeship, consider me on board. I simply don't have the time to compiling full length league style posts.

...Unless you really need me to be a poster. Then I'll try my damndest. Just for you. <3

 

[Dave]

I would love to but I wouldn't be able to find the time for it. I had to leave this debaters league because of that reason. I am also not active enough in the CL to judge. So...

 

[FromTheSouth]

Razor, please post, you'll have a week to complete the debates. We won't be judging on puctuality.

 

[Mr. TM]

The judging is the hard part it seems. Ask me again in the future and Ill sign on to be a judge if you need one.

 

[Razor]

Razor, please post, you'll have a week to complete the debates. We won't be judging on puctuality.

Alright, alright. I'll post.

Off to the Organic Chemistry test I go.

 

[blood and thunder]

can i join?

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I'm in

 

[SavageTaker]

I would join, but I would probably get owned in every debate. If you ever need a judge or help in anything else, just ask me and I'll help.

 

[Minor League Brian]

I'll be a judge. I don't know enough about current issues (Well, more then basic understandings) and I'm not a real researcher to change that. I'll read them all anyway.

 

[Lee]

Yes on Lees behalf.

 

[FromTheSouth]

I've got Brian and GD judging.

Lee, Millenko, Razor, Blood and Thunder, Milkyway, Gelgarin, nitafrong debating.

TDigle wants to be an alternate.

I don't know if I'll have alternates and people joining late, but if I do....

 

[blood and thunder]

just as a note i'll be stronger in more general or overarching debates as opposed to current events, especially specifically American debates as I'm from the UK so we have a different political system/constitution etc...so I'll try my bets if any of that stuff comes up but it's an obvious weakness for me.

 

[Lee]

I'm British, but US Politics is my interest

 

[FromTheSouth]

We'll do both American and foreign topics.

 

[blood and thunder]

ok then cool, looking forward to it

 

[blood and thunder]

ok then cool, looking forward to it

 

[Milkyway!]

Politics are out of my league, honestly. But I mean. Whats the hurt in trying?

 

[Gelgarin]

Give a decent cool down period between this and the debate league and I guess I'm game for whatever.

 

[FromTheSouth]

Yeah, I'm not going the next week or anything. There will be some time.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Consider me an alternate for the time being, please. I want to see what the debate topics will be like before I commit to a Cigar League.

 

[Coco]

I'll read.

 

[FromTheSouth]

You better.

 

[Lee]

What about Sunday?
