Description

If Athias chooses to open in Round 1, Athias must give up the Round 4 part to make us both have had 3 Rounds of debating.

Round 1, RM offers the topic, Round 1 Athias picks the side.

@Athias

yes and no. I thought about this on and off, I like the opening round, the bulk will be in rebuttals.

-->
@RationalMadman

Be honest, did you rush your opening argument because you lost track of the time you were allowed between arguments?

-->
@Barney

It is a 3 round debate in practise with semantics left for wide play. That is how it is meant to go down.

-->
@Barney

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. It may be prudent to set up a few stipulations rather than use a round doing so. Let's see what RationalMadman thinks.

If you’d all like the description and/or title modified now that a topic has been selected, such can be done by any moderator.

@Athias

that's a sign I made a good topic. ;)

@RationalMadman

I seriously considered making you Pro. Here's to a good debate--hopefully.
