Welcome to 2021 XKI Debates! Starting on March 7th, there will be two debate topics on the XKI forums, with a pair of teams opposing each other on each one. The members of the winning teams will all receive 40,000 tacos and a legendary card.
To sign up, please post your NS name and your preferred topic.
Topics:
1. Should zoos be banned?
2. Are school uniforms necessary
Rules:
- There will be two randomly selected opposing teams for each debate group, each with 3 members.
- No insulting or derogatory comments to each other, be civilised
- Team one and team two will be randomly selected via coin flip to either support or oppose the argument
- Similar to the Olympic Debates, the process will go as follows:
1 Team one provides their collaborative opening argument 2 Team two provides their collaborative opening argument 3 Team one provides rebuttal and collaborative second argument 4 Team two provides rebuttal and collaborative second argument 5 Team one provides rebuttal and collaborative closing statement 6 Team two provides rebuttal and collaborative closing statement
- Each piece of text will have a 600-word limit
- The debate will go on for approximately two weeks (this timeline is flexible)
- Each team is to make a best effort to respond to the other team’s argument within 3 days of it being posted
- The debates will be moderated by Flying Eagles and Dokansia
- The winning team of each group will be decided by a straw poll a day after the debates have officially ended.
You can DM any questions to Dokansia or Flying Eagles. Thanks!

Firstly, I would like to apologize. Due to the fact we don't have enough sign ups to run both events we will be constrained to a singular 3 v 3 on the "Should zoo's be banned" topic. This does mean the rewards for winning the event are doubled though.
