This ended in a Round 3 concession anyway, which I didn't exactly expect before I pinged you guys to vote.

The likelihood that your vote is corrupt increases, not decreases, the more that you allow previous vote scores to determine whether you bother to land your vote a certain way or not.

The least corrupt way to vote is to vote hard and fast, before you know or care how likely or unlikely it is that this debater will beat you in the finals and how well they sway voters.

“Everything in life can be taken away from you and generally will be at some point. Your wealth vanishes, the latest gadgetry suddenly becomes passé, your allies desert you. But if your mind is armed with the art of war, there is no power that can take that away. In the middle of a crisis, your mind will find its way to the right solution. Having superior strategies at your fingertips will give your maneuvers irresistible force. As Sun-tzu says, “Being unconquerable lies with yourself.”
― Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies Of War

“Always try to lower the other side’s sense of urgency. Make your enemies think they have all the time in the world; when you suddenly appear at their border, they are in a slumbering state, and you will easily overrun them. While you are sharpening your fighting spirit, always do what you can to blunt theirs.”
― Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies Of War

Please be ready to vote, it's only a 1-week voting period so start reading it now and mentally preparing your RFD's at least partially.

@computernerd
somehow you were blocked by me I think I pressed wrong on my phone or something, I don't remember blocking you at all.

I am not sure what to say other than I hope you can realise it was a mistake. I noticed when I randomly clicked your profile within the last hour.

Unlike the other big dogs, I have experienced the pain of what I feel is undeserved defeat over and over. This is but part of the battle-hardening necessary for a champion who isn't planning to run 98-1.

As for the job interview, I don't believe in wishing good luck if I don't need to. For all I know it's a job that isn't the one you end up enjoying vs other potential timelines. So, I wish you to do your best and endure defeat like I am here or win like a champion.

no but you can upload a link/URL if you really wanted you could make it ok for both debaters to have a list of external URLs outside of the debate, in order to go around the character count.

Tinyurl is one of the best URL shorterners out there because it has permanent codes for the URLs. Some of them make temporary codes that later can be recycled for another longer URL (very dangerous actually).

I'd concede the 'energy' point sooner if Novice had posted a round 1, I set it up so that there was ample distraction down the energy line to make Novice not realise how deadly the 'time' angle was, which is exactly what happened. Thanks for voting.

I am curious, if I had pointed out how the Amazon thing was irrelevant, in Round 4, would you suddenly say I won the debate?

Created:

@Novice

it is bad conduct for me to bring up brand new points about the difference between amazon rating system in a round so late into the debate.

I didn't want to dig into an entirely irrelevant point but sure, you got the grudge out of your system. Just know that the lower that my rating is when you lose against me, the bigger the hit to your rating.

In formal debating, all the round earther needs to do is use NASA, elon musk and spacex and they will win. There is no winnong strategy fpr the flat earthwr that can outweigh the authority of NASA.

This is how you properly intimidate your opponent in the comments section. Keep it simple, have weight to your bragging.

so for instance if you say vegetables are healthy it means if you have raw courgette a lot that's healthy... (it isn't).

Given that you're against one of the biggest trolls of the history of this community (even before this website began) and that you don't know how frowned upon semantic traps like this are here (more so than debate.org which was the site we migrated from) I'll let it be and not talk more about it.

I don't even hate what you did, not only objectively but even subjectively as I was the type who'd do absolutely anything within the rules to win, no matter how annoying it was, I'm annoying and cunning when I want to be. However, I can tell you that the reason I stopped it is largely a result of realising that voters punish it here or at the very least grow bored of it. You would have done better on the old website as the voters and group who were active there were much more pro-troll-debate than the ones active now.

Stick solely to the word 'raise' (as opposed to care for AND raise ) and I'm more open to accepting it but I will wait as I want a better idea of your ability and style to know how to predict and counter you.

This has becomes ridiculous to read, to be honest. I have no clue how to even vote on a debate like this as they both have a legitimate reason to say their resolution is the real one.

Created:

Con and Pro have two very different ideas about what the debate is so both are winning their current resolution at the moment.

Your question is angled so that either I was political debater or I was 'some random'. If your question is if I have alt accounts that use this website, the answer is no. So, PD isn't me.
