Description

Round 1: Accept
Round 2: Main Argument(No Rebuttal)
Round 3: Rebuttals only

Definitions:

Utilitarianism: the doctrine that an action is right insofar as it promotes happiness, and that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be the guiding principle of conduct.

Contradict: In traditional logic, a contradiction occurs when a proposition conflicts either with itself or established fact.

Perfection: The video game Halo Reach developed by Bungie studios and released in 2010; the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects.

Impossible: not able to occur, exist, or be done

Intelligently: in a knowledgeable and insightful way; cleverly.

Just clearing out the cobwebs on the ole brain and having a swing at something philosophical. Keep it polite and follow the rules. Failing to submit during a round or straying from the given structure is grounds for forfeiture. May the best win.

Allowing 'contradict' to be with a fact and not within itself is very Pro-favoured as a definition.

My bad, ty ;)
