I just checked Wylted's profile.
So hold up
are you telling me
my most controversial debate yet
was decided by Wylted
Damn.
He gave the illusion of being a debater nearly on par with me -- with solid reasoning and somewhat reasonable ideas (though his "let's argue post abortion" might've been an alarm for those who knew him)

MisterChris is hella strong. If it wasn't for bmdrocks, he might be the best conservative debater on the site. Go on, tell him.

nice tips. I think I didn't think enough about how Fauxlaw might focus on the conflict within my expert sources to dismantle them from the inside.

Despite enforcing myself stricter standards than my average writing, I find that I am still losing debates at a disproportionate rate, and even truisms meant to swayed in my favor still yet lost (Systemic Racism, Flat Earth, etc.)
As such, I think that I am doing something greatly wrong. There must be something I am missing. What rules should I add upon to further make my arguments impenetrable?
Current rules:
- Think of three good reasons why you are correct before accepting
- Hold onto as many ideas as possible
- Thoroughly crack opponent's exact stance, through clarification and comparison
- Evaluate impacts of each idea, and potential impacts of impacts
- Never give up or forfeit
- Always spell check before posting

I mean, Ragnar and Oromagi managed to go 100+ debates without losing a single one. I just feel I'm subpar and not up to standard.

@Sum1hugme
yeah, but you only had one argument. I had 20+ experts and 5 arguments combined.

@zedvictor4
that would give me an excuse to slouch in debates and present worse arguments or evidence

As I march onto my 5th lost debate, I think this is a good opportunity to take a break. I will try to avoid debating momentarily to ruminate and improve skills (unless someone is up to challenge ...) . To lose such a debate with overwhelming evidence is embarrassing to me -- not to mention the Madman defeated me in one of my expertise, internet privacy. I will be back. Mark my words.

I haven't seen so many people battle back and forth over a debate and disagree with such a disparity. (https://www.debateart.com/debates/2765-u-s-k-12-public-schools-should-incorporate-more-video-games-in-their-curriculum) People being left and right with arguments, sources, and even my previous opponent TheWeakerEdge with his conduct vote. Seems a little bit crazy considering I only had a 3,000 character limit for each three rounds.
What do you guys think? Hopefully, I'll get enough votes for a proper decision. I'm surprised by how highly gugigor evaluates Whiteflame, though it's interesting to see how (he brought this up when asked) Whiteflame on DDO chose the winner 100% of the time when elected as a judge. Will he fail this time? Hard to tell.

thoughts? I'm tempted to say Central Banks, but I'm actually playing devil's advocate on that one which is pretty funny.

I feel like my round 1's are arguably my strongest and I'm trying to think of potential sampling for writing portfolio. Which of my debate openers do you guys think best exemplify my writing skills and arguing ability?

It seems ironic that Voting for number 2 does not allow for fluff points in the opposing direction (or in favor). If I could, I would give 0.65 points for No and 0.25 points for Yes. And 0.1 points for Abstain (You can begin to see how absurd this is.)
