I've seen many accomplished debaters of whom all seems to have remarkable analytical and debating skills. I'm interested to hear some of your "actual" achievements achieved outside of this cite.

Couple things, "Cite?" Second, Actual accomplishments? To each their own, but I feel like sharpening your mental acuity is an "actual" accomplishment. Accomplishment is relative, for example, one of my self-portraits won second in an art fair. To me, that seems like a pretty good accomplishment, but to a professional artist who's making actual money off of their pieces, it's nothing. Accomplishment, like lots of concepts in life, is relative.
