Oh, that's my bad -- I completely missed that the 1st round was for acceptance in the original post.
Oh okay, I thought you were suggesting the acceptance round was unneccesary lol

Thanks for welcoming a new member. Sorry to see you go, before I got a chance to know you

@David
Are you willing to temporarily unblock rationalmadman for the sake of the tournament?
-->
@Lunatic
I gave my opponent like 10 possible topics and he is basically saying
Let's debate humanism
Every time I message him. We may need you to choose a topic.
-->
@Lunatic
he hasn't blocked me, he ignores me.
-->
@RationalMadman
Alright I'll wait for his response but I'm sure he can out differences aside for the tournament. He did sign up after you did after all so he would have had to have known debating or interaction with you was a possibility.

@Incel-chud
Keep trying to reach a conclusion with him for now, if you guys can figure something out in a few days I will present some topics.

@Lunatic
Are we literally allowed to vote on each other's debates? I can imagine a lot of corruption involved if that's the case.

@Lunatic
I replied to RM. We’re on.

Me and Max talked about this and decided not to put restrictions on voting with how few active voters there are on the site. We will leave it to moderation to clean up votes that are poorly explained or demonstrate a lack of actually having read the debate. I am a firm advocate of reporting bad votes, so if you see a vote you think is questionable. report it, and you can tell me and I will report it too and do my best to explain to the vote mods why it is a bad vote if I agree it seems corrupt.

Lol, it's very easy to justify a reason that benefits the agenda of the voter, if one is smart enough that is.

The same argument could be broadly applied to any voter, even outside this tournament. People could vote for the side they agree with more. We should keep an eye out for these type of votes and report them. You could technically argue that almost any vote anyone places is bias or meets an agenda.

When is the deadline for debates?
Btw David and I agreed on this:
In a democracy, a free press ought to prioritize objectivity over advocacy. but I'd prefer if you provide relevant definitions in the description, you are Pro
This is from me to him and he agreed but he can't start it for a few days. When's the deadline though?

Thankyou!
Athias and computernerd are the last ones to go for r1
-->
@Lunatic
Athias is irresponsive. Any tips on what we should do?
-->
@ComputerNerd
Maybe a current social issue. Maybe the Kyle Rittenhouse trial?
-->
@Lunatic
But I'm not sure he's even active. If he doesn't log in for a week, who do I debate?
-->
@ComputerNerd
Oh I mis read that. He will be back soon he is active
-->
@Lunatic
Ok.

@Lunatic
I'd prefer a sooner start.
