The joke here isn’t bad, but you should have specified the definition in the description, which is why people are saying this is a a semantic trap. They would be correct, too.
I must say I do like this topic. While it’s not an issue I have historically cared too much about, the topic itself is kinda interesting.
I have one side I would favor here, but if I were to vote on this I would base it off of the question: what side would I pick if I came into the topic knowing nothing about it?
"I do not need to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt" Well maybe you should. There's a reason why those concepts exist. To prevent tyranny.
Second, if the standard is different on this site then you should have told me, which you didn't.
The way it was on DDO was if your opponent conceded, you win. Period. The rule change isn't what bothered me, it's the lack of openness about it that bothers me.
And yes, this isn't a court case. But maybe you should alter your policies so that the concepts apply. You are the government of DART.
Do you want to review these concepts? because you really should start following them.
NO, I had no idea I had to post arguments in Rounds 4 and 5 AFTER my opponent conceded the debate. I was acting off of Airmax's interpretation of the rules, and you rejected the common DDO interpretation and substituted it with your own.
you say that because I didn't post in the first three rounds means that I wasn't interested in this debate. You don't know that. you can't see inside my head. I was interested; I was just busy. You assummed I was already guilty of being uninterested based off of only 3/5ths proof, which is the "guilty until proven innocent" logic, when it should be "innocent until proven guilty".
I had no idea that I even needed to post an argument. On DDO, I would've won this debate. But you changed the rules without telling me, which unfairly screwed me over.
I assumed that since my opponent conceded in the thread, that I didn't have to post an argument, and that the win would be mine. If I had known I still had to post an argument, I would have. you guys screwed me over by not telling me I needed to post an argument. For this reason, I should be handed the win.
First off, I had no idea who they were going to vote for once I tagged them. In fact, some of the people I tagged voted for you. I even specifically told them not to be biased. I don't see how that's dirty play.
I consider a no-show for 2/3 rounds an FF.
right now I'm only looking at the tournament debates
I'll vote in a bit
Only one round was forfeited, so I'm not calling this one an FF
Well it won't be if David doesn't post any arguments...
This is Round 1’s main event to me

If I have time will cast a vote in the event of a rematch on the issue.
Wut
not what i thought this was
reducto ad Hitlerum
Canada has a higher land mass.
Wylted did say he was taking a break from the site.

Woah wtf? My opponent conceded the debate. This should be my win.
this is basically a definition debate
why was this a tie
Pro should win this.
That Santa rap lol
I tried to juggle too many things in my life at once.
Dang it.
Devil's Advocate?
I wanted to debate the definition of left wing as part of this debate.
Of what?
I will vote in this one. I have the time for that. Don’t have the time for debating, as evidenced by the past debates I have forfeited.
Thank you.
Plz don't have this reset. I posted my argument with less than 20 seconds left on the clock.
OH SHIT
I forgot the copy and paste" I request that voters follow the rules and definitions of this debate."
Can I please do it in the second without resetting this debate?
Then how about we do this debate again some time.

You typed your arguments while I was stuck, unable to access the site.
Someone argue something...
Can we tie this?
My wifi was down for a few days.
Virt is going to get rekt.
tag
Fuuuuuuuudge.
Here's my argument: It would allow users to change their votes if they changed their minds about who won later.
Mustardness is Ebuc from DDO. You’ll find him in the forums.
Holy crap he might actually be Backwardseden.
Epic Rap Battles of History: Fork vs. Spoon (Interrupted by third party Spork)
This guy reminds me of Mustardness.
Votes needed.
Plz vote.
Fun fact: this is DART's 420th debate.
Blaze it
Wow
get in here
GG
Should've been a tie though.
