bunny: spider bitten Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I just was thinking that judging an argument to be outright better sends the wrong message. Of course there's a need to be conclusive, at least in the sense that some people will genuinely repeat the same argument with a different wording multiple times regardless of how wrong they are. But beyond general regulation, there isn't a huge need for 'judges' or judging. Especially not on a point for point basis. If you stick with the idea, though, I'd at least want people who have different opinions on characters and unit worth. I'd suggest Sandman. Though Sandman and SS would be just awful.

Reikken Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) I agree with Reikken being a judge. Easily the best debater I've seen back when I used to debate. I nominate Sniper, too. Despite not having many posts on this site, this d00d is a good debaetr. Even won a tournament on FESS iirc.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Who cares? If you have experience in debates over in other FE community then you have no problem at all. And also, 481 posts. That's more than good enough...<_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YokaiKnight Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 So is this the official nominations thread now? How are we going to pick who makes the cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canas is back Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 So is this the official nominations thread now? How are we going to pick who makes the cut? I would assume that the admins make the cuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I suppose that's true, and I don't remember a Garcia vs. Ross debate... It wasn't a formal one. It was more a random discussion comparing the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'd offer to do the job, but I think there are others more qualified. I'd nominate Sandman. But I think he's off the forest currently. He said he'd be back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Tino, Reikken, and Mekkah would be the best as judges. <3 Edited November 9, 2008 by Swordsalmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Keep in mind that to judge you have to be without bias. You can't consider anything other than the arguments given. It can be tough stuff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Do you want me to judge? I was judge at FEP debate tourneys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I will judge. A giant walks among you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'd love to be a judge, but I don't know if that's gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Have the judges been decided already? Or is the issue still being discussed? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) I think Reikken, Mekkah, Tino, Sniper, Colm, Swordsalmon is plenty for now. Basically over half of the debating crowd is a judge now anyways. Edited November 11, 2008 by Mekkah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^Two Snipers? Probably a type or something :P Anyway, yeah, that seems fine. I guess we just need approval or something :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 yeah, you're obviously not going to use two Snipers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Also, perhaps Rei as well? That gives an odd amount of judges, which is exactly what we want, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think only 3 should vote per match, so people aren't forced to read a lot of shit, and you have reserves to fall back on if someone quits or w/e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^Two Snipers? He's just so good that Mekkah subconsciously included him twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSu Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey, I debate too, when I got time. Kinda. I NOMINATE MYSELF!! Polx? I may not be uberhaxdebater, but I feel that I understand people's points well enough to judge who is a clear winner and who is not. Actually, since we have so many judges already, can I be, like, a sub-judge or something? *just wants a title* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Not to descriminate you or anything. But your no real debaters. <_< The only ones that debates more are Mekkah, Tino, Swordsalmon, Reikken, Rei, Sniper and myself. And none of us debate through personal experience <_<. You can debate if you want and hang out here. Edited November 14, 2008 by 安室 奈美恵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Though, the last time I debated, I was doing it in a funny ass way. http://forums.feplanet.net/index.php?showtopic=25414 And I got SaS to increase the image limit in posts just because of it. Of course I have debated in a more serious decor, but that time I didn't feel like being super srs :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
