What in your opinion is my best debate opener thus far?
-->
@Undefeatable
Hmmm... Well, I feel like a lot of your R3s are stronger comparatively, but yeah... your R1 may be best for a portfolio just because the later rounds require the reader to know what was said previously. 

Your R1 on our revolution debate was pretty good, and so was the R1 on your debate with Whiteflame. No offense but i don't think I would use the Utilitarian vs. Kantian one...

Haven't read your central banks one, but maybe Whiteflame has thoughts on it

So I suggested this a few days back on Discord, but you never responded. 

Would it be difficult adding a feature where mods can extend voting windows?

Obviously we would have to establish the consent of both debaters to do so, but it would keep a lot of debates from being ties if time is the restricting factor. 

Ragnar agreed:

"I've long wanted us to be able to edit the voting window. An FF with a 6 month voting window, we should be able to shrink it once there's a couple votes. Something where people are asking for more time to vote, unless either debater outright rejects it, we should be able to expand the voting window."

Have you ever tried to speak against prejudice in a redneck neighborhood? #cancelculture

At least we agree cancel culture is not a positive thing.

Well right. I was focusing on the ethnocentric parts of what they were saying. We were in agreeance on the idea of legal immigration.

Not really. It wasn't like I was at risk or was doing anything particularly noteworthy. I just argued a position counter to theirs.

I spoke against some anti-immigrant, blatantly ethnocentric crap in school (i.e. "dem Mexicans shuld stay in their cuntry! They've been stealin our jobs"). I'm anti-illegal immigration but it's very wrong to escalate that belief to being anti-immigrant.

Yes actually. I live in the south and have spoken out on multiple occasions. Fortunately, bigots aren't nearly as common in the south anymore as people think.

It's definitely the most doable & Ragnar has suggested this before too I believe. I'm not familiar with what sort of software engineering would have to go into allowing us to do this, but I'll push the idea some, see what Mike thinks, and get back to you on it.

Something that would be a great help would be if the mods could edit/extend the voting period as needed. Obviously we would have to establish the consent of both debaters to do so, but it would keep a lot of debates from being ties if time is the restricting factor.

Of course morality is subjective.
In my subjective opinion this is objectively false.

I never even noticed... I liked the music personally. 

My biggest thing is that I'd have liked more development of the relationship between Edward and Winry, and maybe the fights could've been more grandiose albeit I'm comparing this show to other shonen like One Punch Man and Naruto Shippuden.

Don't really care about it now honestly. The Republican party needs to move on from Trump.  While he's done some good things, he's turned it into a cult and ultimately I think the image he brings to the party does more harm than good. 

Congress can do with him what they will. I won't pretend to know enough about it to have an opinion on its constitutionality or legitimacy.

Just finishes FMA:B and liked it, and I'm now on season 2 of Re:Zero and love it.

Any other suggestions? I'm going to start Fate/Zero after I finish S2 of Re:Zero for sure.

@Sum1hugme
I think it's determined by an algorithm. There's probably a few input requirements:
  • No forfeits. There are no FFs on there (aside from maybe a debate in which every round is waived. The algorithm just sees that there is text in every round of the debate, but it can't differentiate whether that text actually includes argumentation or not)
  • Has a vote
  • Maybe a minimum rating for each debater?
  • etc. I'm not sure on the specifics.
