Pro was the only user to make an argument.
Per the rules forfeiture = loss. Pro ff com auto wins.

Obvious troll debate is obvious but I will still vote as if this was a serious debate. Pro failed to provide any supporting evidence.

I'm not a fan of any of the arguments presented; however, there were only 2 rounds for possible rebuttals and replies. Con forfeited the first round thus losing on conduct, but then created new arguments in the final round that could not be replied to. As such I'm giving the win to PRO
Conduct: This is the easiest point to award. Con forfeited 3/4 rounds.
Arguments: In round 1 Pro brought forth a logically valid argument. If each premise of the syllogism is true then the conclusion logically follows . In reply to the syllogism con states that all of those are merely assumptions and didn't really try and attack any of the truth. claims of those premises. In addition, he answered none of the questions Pro asked.

Like it or not, con was the only one to provide an argument, thus he wins by default.
Pro forfeits the first round and only argues in the final round, where the opponent cannot respond. Thus, I award the vote to Pro.
Pretty much a straightforward vote: Pro completely drops all of con's arguments. Con shows that rap battles can be debates can be permitted under the following circumstances:
1. The nature of the debate being a rap battle is agreed in advance
2. The intentions of any rap battle insults are qualified in the first round, and ideally at the beginning of each following round
3. The rap battle is not intended to be a personal attack, rather it is an argument style, and that style is part of the agreement of the parties.
Pro pretty much drops all of this giving con an easy win.
"I cannot prove Pele is the greatest of all time."
This is effectively a concession. Pro has the burden of proof to prove that Pele is the GOAT. Because he conceded that he cannot prove the case, he loses.

I score these types of debates by scoring each round. Whoever gets the most points wins.
Round 1
Pro forfeited, con wins automatically. Score 0-1
Round 2
A Barf A Minute is cute, but I liked con's MAGA parody better.
Score 0-2. Con wins.

Full forfeit and a terrible song
Full forfeit and plagiarism
This was a really bad debate from both sides. Although Pro's arguments were weak, they were mostly dropped by con.
CONDUCT
I give conduct to Pro because Con violated the structure of the debate that is set forth in the description. I'm further giving Pro the conduct point because it is obvious that Con was not trying and didn't put in any effort to debate. This is proven by his last round which is literally 'nonsense.'
ARGUMENTS
All of Pro's arguments were dropped. Con dropped Pro's first two contentions and effectively conceded at the end. "Nonsense" is not an argument. Con has to do more than just call an argument nonsense.

Concession. Fantastic debate!!
Con forfeited more than 1/2 the rounds.

Forfeiting is bad conduct.

Both forfeited, but con was theo only one to present a real argument. Con's main argument is that Ragnar still has the right to vote, which he does. Pro never makes an argument and the only thing he responds with is Charles Dickens, which makes absolutely no senes in this context.
2/4 forfeit. That's bad conduct!
