2 on 2?


If it's 2 on 2 there should be some ground rules laid out so it doesn't get too chaotic. Maybe do 1 on 1 in sets of two. So, one person from each team would debate for a given amount of time, then they'd switch with the other person.

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.


Mmm, fair enough. Maybe set up so that each team nominates one person for the quickfire while sending in their post?

In any case, can everyone who's currently here get on IRC? It'd be the quickest and most efficient way to pass information around.

Let's say, #TLdebate on irc.quakenet.org ?

Yeah, I like the idea of teams going with their best guns as the debate progresses.

Yeah ground rules will definitely be set. The 2 sets of 1 on 1 sounds great!

I'll have to set up IRC soon

Since it's teams of four, what if the two people from each team that do not participate in the quick fire write out the closing arguments? It will force us to kind of work as a team and makes it so we don't use the same two people over and over again, unless you guys prefer that.

Good idea, though this should be left up to the teams. Ideally the teams themselves would split work fairly, but I can see people getting busy/AFK for extended periods of time, so a bit of flexibility would probably be better

Yeah, true. By the way, I'll be idling in #TLdebate on quakenet, so feel free to drop by any time, though I'm sure we won't actually need to idle there until teams are decided.

We'll enjoy this clash of minds.
Which team will be left behind?

It will be interesting to see if the attention of their peers will drastically change the way the debaters express themselves...

The only topic that is worth debating is how many angels can stand on the head of a pin.
