Hello peeps. This is the event you've all been waiting for. As many posters will know, there has been an ongoing essay war between me and the upstart otherwise known as Mr Master. I would present an argument backed by on panel proof and then he would respond NOT with evidence showing why my argument cant possibly be the case or evidence clear out stating its not the case, but instead with opinion about why its not the case, pages and pages of OUT OF CONTEXT scans of Phoenix avatars being defeated and insults pertaining to me being a fanboy. At which point he'd claim victory on the topic despite posting little to nothing topic related. I naively at first used to respond to this and as such the argument went on and on in circles, with my points never being addressed and said instances of course as intended by Mr Master buried under tons of insults and scans of Phoenix being p8wn3d 😬
Thats when i decided, lets break this cycle. Im not going to give him the opportunity to hide his losses anymore. So i set this challenge nearly a week ago. A challenge which up until this point has been avoided and even saw a previously unheard of Mr M absence.
Here it is.
We will discuss ONE issue at a time. Posters will briefly state what theyre trying to prove about the issue and then the debate will begin in earnest. Each poster will present their whole arguments without interruption from each other or any other posters one after the other.
The judges will assess each argument and give their stance at that point in time with detailed explanations and any queries about either participants arguments.
The participants will then answer said queries through further posts whilst also highlighting flaws in their opponents arguments. During this process the judges and ONLY the judges can post freely with any additional queries or doubts.
When it becomes clear to the judges that the argument is going in circles and one side cannot sufficiently prove a particular point the other side has presented then they will cast their votes on the issue.
When that happens the losing side must agree never to bring up said issues again unless new evidence has come to light.
Posts and scans must be directly related to the topic. i.e if we're debating the M'kraan crystal, no scans of Phoenix being blown apart by Xorn 😖hifty:
Posts must be entirely new. NO REPOSTS from previous threads.
If a point is presented, argue why it cannot be the case and if you can show on panel evidence stating it is not the case.Mere opinion to the contrary will not do. Neither will an attack on an opponents credibility qualify as a response.
