It might be better to do two prop, two opp for the first batch then two prop, two opp for the second batch so speeches won't be as redundant and you can get more rebuttal that way. Hmm. Good point. I'll let the first debate go as it is first, and we'll see how everything turns out. Thanks for the feedback though, may implement it in the next debate  | ||

Redundancy would be bad for both speakers and readers. =s Yeah this was what I had in mind. | ||

Dang, makes me want to participate as well, that's awesome ^^ I wonder whether it would be possible for laypeople to participate in a future debate unless parli has too many confusing rules. | ||

On September 04 2012 15:48 Souma wrote: Another question: Is it okay for the proposition to define the range of the motion? For instance, if the motion is, "ban child labor," can the proposition specify whether we want to ban child labor throughout the world or to ban child labor in developing countries only? Given the likely uninteresting nature of a debate being argued on two different interpretations, resolution specificity should be made crystal clear. | ||

That would actually be an awesome idea. So like right after the posts go up, everyone goes into the IRC for quickfire? | ||

If we do quick fire it should probably be 1 on 1. The getting everyone on at once thing is actually a non-trivial problem, even if we end up using just people in PST through EST. People have work and school schedules that can get in the way. | ||
