English as a first language is for no0bs.
Is Bielorussian too different from russian?
hmm...just taken a cursory glance at some of the current matches
just an observation on one of the reasons why digi has done so well so far
SIMPLICITY...CLARITY...ORGANIZATION
his post is surprisingly simple and basic...nothing fancy that goes over your heads really. his arguments are very well organized and takes the readers through the battle step by step (contrast this with fangirl's almost streamof consciousness style and its a sharp difference)
also, digi kinda writes for the non-comic reader (aka me), he doesn't assume a certain knowledge about these characters and filters it into very clear simple to understand terms to convey his message
and finally he maintains a pretty consistent message...not much waffling. he's good at driving a narrative rather than just cramming every thing under the sky into his argument.
i think this is a winning formula for debates...KISS (keep it simple stupid!)

I also liked Charlotte's initial move...going for the jugular (discrediting the validity of minion prime). It'll be interesting to see if it works.

Thanks. I like to pride myself on my organization, and yes, I think it's won me some matches, or at least helped my chances. Sometimes I think too much information about characters is assumed, even with knowledgeable judges (since we can't be well-versed on everyone) so I like to leave nothing to chance.
Charlotte has some interesting opening points. I'm making the reply now. I'm not worried, but like you said, she's trying to hit where it hurts, which is a good tactic.

Doesn't hurt either that all the judges except Bada and Myself are scared of getting banned and vote for you out of fear... 313

In fact, Belarusian is an ancestor language for Russian- it shares more traits of ancient Slavic languages. They belong to the same language group and in USSR times the grammar\spelling of the Belarussian was altered to bring it closer to Russsian- mainstream lingusts in Moscow viewed Belarusian as nothing more than "broken polonised Russian".
