Alright then, I've been thinking we should do these again for a while.... it's time for a debate! Please indicate your interest and whether you would like to be affirmative or negative below. I think we'll use the topic that had been suggested in the last signup thread but never debated - this was the National Forensic League's Lincoln-Douglas topic from a while ago:

Resolved: Oppressive government is more desirable than no government.

Affirmative:
Duckyian Empire
Invictus
New Ecopia

Negative:
Actually Trying

I'm new to XKI, so I'm not sure how these debates work exactly, but I might be interested in being a negative. If someone could give a bit more information about debates here, I'd be able to give a more definitive answer.

Got you guys! ActuallyTrying check out the debating rules here:

10000islands.proboards.com/thread/14291/debating-rules

I may change these as a) the taco donation system is inoperative at the moment, and b) I have no idea what the educational attainment thread is. I will have some form of reward but that remains to be seen.

I'd like us to get some more participation in this! Ducky, if you could advertise around that this is going on... I'll post a notice as XKI University on the RMB that we're doing this... I hope to have at least four participants soon. Hopefully as many as six.

Hmm, I could join this debate. Been a while since I actually, properly debated anyone (as opposed to random internet arguments).

I would prefer joining on the Affirmative side. But I could also be comfortable debating the Negative side as well, if you don't have enough interest from other members to balance it out. So put me down on Affirmative for now, and we'll change it later if needed.

150 words seems mighty small. I think we'll go for between 150 and 500 words. You need not cite specifics, but I do ask that you don't make up numbers. I will know if you're making something up. I am a competitive policy debater with a lot of experience.

Yeah, I think what the rule said was 150 minimum, 500 max. I'll try to make sure people stick to that.

Heh... and here I was coming up with a great opening argument for the affirmative. Welp, guess I'll switch around and see if I can poke some holes in my own argument.

Sure, switch me over. Just let me have a few days before we start to get into a new mode of thinking.
