That's a good thing though, if you think about it. If any of the conceders had been vs each other it would have been less optimal for the spectacles later.

The subjects were grander than the debates.

Yeah this was a thing on DDO too, its mostly a r1 thing. I think semi finals will prove to be more interesting debates.

So... Tejretics is sick with Covid and can't continue in the tournament. If every one else is finished we should be able to move on to the next round.

@DeprecatoryLogistician
Both Pro sides have got balls of steel with the positions they're taking.
Yours seems tougher than mine though but we will see.

@RationalMadman
I don't know, yours seems a lot tougher to me. A lot of people have died from covid, and passing a pandemic off as a good thing seems pretty hard. I am excited to see what you argue though.

@Benjamin
Congratulations to both Benjamin, and RationalMadman to making to the finale of this tournament! I am very excited to see the outcome of this final debate and see who Dart's best debater is for the February March period.
Please come up with a topic and start your debate within one week of this post.
You have until midnight on March 21st (3/21/22) to agree to a topic and start the final debate. Whoever is stalling the decision on a debate topic at that point in time will forfeit the round automatically.
Good luck to both debaters!

I hope that you realise that I've had and still have the power to keep the topics stale so that you wouldn't be able to use it to get the site popular but I didn't sabotage it.
Your ideas of me being salty and blinded by my dislike for you and Airmax are unfounded. I think that you should have run for the president's seat instead of Airmax and just kept your behaviour in check, you'd have won by a landslide much harder than he won.
I also would owe you directly for keeping me unbanned that time, instead of Airmax who I owe literally nothing to in terms of favours, so you'd have gotten my vote pretty much no matter what you did as I value repaying favours a lot as it's a good reputation to have.

I guess whether a topic is stale or not is up to the perceiver of the debate. I've read some debates with stale sounding topics before that turned out to have great discussion and dialogue. That said, if you were to intentionally make a boring debate out of spite, I don't really see what you would achieve from that. I know you care about the site, never doubted that you did. All our issues about differences in ideas about free speech aside, I do recognize and understand that you care about the website.

When I was president on DDO, I felt like I had to censor myself too much, and be too political sounding. I do not like to change how I speak, and of course no one tells you that you have to, to be president. I just feel like I have to be held to a different standard. David actually offered me to be a moderator on the site a while back and I pretty much said no for the same reason. Ultimately I am here for a hobby and for occasional entertainment, mafia, social interaction, etc. Presidency/moderation makes it more of a job and takes the fun out of it.
Who will win? Who will be the victor!? I'm on the edge of my seat!

I have offered RationalMadman the debate I suggested and that he agreed to on the 18th of March. The topic being nuclear energy vs other types of clean energy.
I am willing to debate that alternatives to nuclear are a better replacement
The last couple of days has just been RationalMadman elaborating on his acceptance and telling me precisely how he wants the debate structured. There is absolutely no reason to suggest that we were stalling the negotiations or that either of us were "conceding" the final debate by way of arbitrary time limits.
11 days later
debate is in voting period now.
