Note: Ragnar has elected me to post the announcement for the Hall of Fame that is upcoming, it is a message approved by him
Greetings DebateArt!
I just wanted to update everyone on the approaching DART Hall of Fame induction process. This process will unfold in two stages, and will take one week to complete.
On or about the 27th of August, one of the mods will post a thread soliciting nominations from the usership in each of the three award categories (users, debates, and threads). Any user will be able to submit up to three nominees in each category for a maximum of 9 nominations per user. Nominators may choose to nominate less than the maximum number if they choose. The nominating window will close on or about the 30th of August. The nominees with the most nominations (approx. 4-6 per category) will advance to the second stage of the process. There are no formal criteria for determining who/what can be nominated; however, if I conclude that a nomination is wholly and blatantly incongruous with the purpose of the HOF (that purpose being to highlight good, notable, and/or consequential inductees), the moderators reserve the right to withhold forwarding that nomination to the second stage of the process.
On or about the 31st of August, the moderators will post a thread soliciting votes from the usership on the finalist nominees in each of the three award categories (users, debates, and threads). Any user will be able to vote for up to three nominees in each category for a maximum of 9 votes per user. Voters may choose to vote less than the maximum number if they choose. The voting window will close on or about the 3rd of September. Those nominees with the most votes (3 per category) will be inducted into the DART Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie preventing exactly 3 inductions per category, the voting window will be extended for just those nominees who/which are tied. Those inducted will be formally honored with entries in the Hall of Fame thread. Those entries will be posted within 2 months of the voting period closing.
There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame nominating or voting processes, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, coordinating votes or severe spamming of votes is prohibited. This will result in all votes that were deemed as spam nullified. You may argue with people on their choice if warranted, but mass campaigning is prohibited. Private PM's with groupchats is prohibited. This process is about awarding those with merit or importance, and not about awarding those who can cajole the most voters. Also, more exact start and end times will be made clear in the threads in question, to ensure there is no ambiguity as to when the processes begin and conclude. Please be sure to check these times
We are also adding one more category to the HoF! This is a Miscellaneous category. This can be for one post, a vote, a comment that is notable for the Hall of Fame. This will not have the same rules apply to it as other categories have, and you are allowed to do as much campaigning for this category as you would like in general without restriction.
I am posting this update now to (a) brief you on the process, (b) give notice about the restrictions placed on campaigning and vote coordinating/rigging, and (c) give you time to consider who/what you would like to nominate, come August 27th. Hopefully this update has been informative. Thank you!

That's a pretty good point in general. Chicago had 283 killings this year and is a leading nation in homicides. Nothing is done about that

Of course, Lightfoot has the right to protect her wife and daughter but as the Mayor she enjoys many options and abundant protection. The most effective action she could have taken would have been to simply advise the mob that she was at work in the Mayor's office and any protest at her home would fail to achieve the objective of her attention.
I agree with this. But she repeatedly says this is peaceful protest. Yet why should she block protests in her neighborhood? The hypocrisy she shows is surmountable
Most of the reports I see of violence in Chicago seem well distanced from political protests. Certainly, this most recent looting was just an opportunistic mob and under age to a remarkable degree. Police shot a few people, right?
Not that I've seen. From my vision, there was no real police present at the riots
so I am wondering what increase in force you're looking for? Shooting a bunch people would be the next level of escalation but I doubt a massacre would achieve the peace Chicago seeks. Blaming Lightfoot for increased violence also strikes me as pretty disingenuous. Lightfoot has been in office for a year while Chicago has been the most violent top 10 US city for more than 20 years.
There is a stat where Chicago's crime has increased since her tenure
It seems to me that the Cartels' drug war is the primary contributor to violent crime in Chicago and that sort of crime has proved fairly impervious to police escalations and mayoral decrees.
And the solution overall is to defund the police? Crime is raging in our city, and apparently the solution is to defund the police
Created:
But aren't most of the protests peaceful? You would have nothing to worry about at all? So why do you do this? Or maybe it's cause you admit that you have lost control in the city you were elected to run, have not used enough force to get rid of the looters and rioters, and have failed your city. She is a selfish mayor running my beautiful city. If she wins re election, I will be shocked

I like doing 1v1 tradeoffs. It made sense for you to go ahead and RB me due to my role since I knew Oro gave me best. Added up, I thought you were surprising me. I was probably to willing to throw a hammer now looking back, but still

I had a slight scum read on him that grew and I gave reasoning. Lunatic is saying I blind voted him without any thought
Created:
Posted in:
Also let’s make it very clear ladies and gentlemen why I fucking scum read Disc. Just so I can assure the masses that my read was not just blindly guessing with no logic
1. Disc’s buddying of Lunatic was the only logical move considering Lunatic’s role as a lone wolf in general, where there was virtually no connection. His reaction to Lunatics shitty justification was “I’ll believe you for now.” There was NO pressure on Lunatic and Disc gave no pressure and was going about with his logic in general and followed. The turn happened an in DP3, I fucking gave my read in DP2 and went with Disc immideately
2. The lynch on Speed was necessary to confirm Disc as scum. I have vouched for 1v1 trade offs if beneficial to town and there is enough evidence on the other read to lynch Disc. I didn’t need much to go off of in general. I was the first to lynch Disc and LED the charge on Disc. The claim I was blind voting is a stupid “I’m just salty” mentality

Fair enough. Like I said, it’s not really something I’m mad over. It’s like touching a funny bone. Not painful, but doesn’t fell right

The fact that he left and closed account bothers me more. If he said that endgame to me directly, I’d debate him and go on. The fact it was said behind me is what is stinging
It’s small and tbh I don’t care that much to get myself worked up over something like that, but something about it didn’t sit right with me
