Here's how standard debates will work.
You'll have the proposition and the opposition with 2-3 people each side and you'll have the topic, the motion of the debate.
The Dean will set up the thread for the debate and each person will post a 150 word speech. No more, no less. I'll be word counting it! Proposition starts, followed by opp, prop again, finally opp. Coordinate your efforts so you don't overlap on things. Remember to waffle, reiterate, retort, and all the rest of it.
When the main speeches are done, they'll be a 3 day period of both sides questioning each other and observers posting their questions too. At the end, a 24 hour vote will go up and the winning team gets the prize split between them. The debate will also be added to your educational attainment thread in the form of 10 debating points.
Debates will be held on a regular basis. We'll see how it goes.

Presentation aids would most assuredly be helpful, but, I think sticking to solely oratory would be the more sporting. Since this is a competition, leaving out the aids would be better and more enjoyable.

Update on the rules for the debates!
You'll have the proposition and the opposition with 2-3 people each side and you'll have the topic, the motion of the debate.
Once we have 6 participants, the debate begins! Either side can begin Every participant speaks and once all have contributed we can move onto the rebuttals. Once this is concluded the Dean will put up the poll and voting begins. The Winning side gets 3000 tacos each!
XKI University - the home of improvised drinking game rules, vigorous debates and lots of speculation.
