Masu Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Do they HAVE to be just limited to FE? Looking arround i've seen that most of us arent avid FE debaters, yet some are debaters in other games (Brawl,Tales,Soul Calibur etc) Like.........WHERE should we have non fe debates?

Cynthia Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Do they HAVE to be just limited to FE? Looking arround i've seen that most of us arent avid FE debaters, yet some are debaters in other games (Brawl,Tales,Soul Calibur etc) Like.........WHERE should we have non fe debates? General boards for non-game related debates, and the Other Games board for game related ones. I honestly see no point in debating over a game though... Kind of unrelated but: Personally I see no point to debating anymore really, as whenever one side is winning too much the topics get closed because someone will come in and troll, and instead of that one person being punished, the topic gets closed, which is exactly what they want. The objective of a debate is for one side to attempt to win over another side, and since that never happens it's almost pointless to try anymore.

Wist Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 As far as I am aware, it is perfectly acceptable to have debates about games not in the Fire Emblem series in the Other Games board. Debates are a valid form of discussion if they don't fall into argument or vendetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think the general board is fine for debates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Debates in the Fire Emblem Debates section have to be Fire Emblem related, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The objective of a debate is for one side to attempt to win over another side, and since that never happens it's almost pointless to try anymore. Definitely not my objective. If I'm debating Tino about Dozla vs Ewan, my goal isn't to convince him Ewan is better, I just want to have the better arguments and have fun debating. If I'm debating in a non-biased debate (i.e. I'm actually defending my own opinion, rather than a chosen character at all costs), then I am still just having a good time. If the person I'm debating sees what he's doing wrong, that's just a bonus. Convincing people over the internet hardly ever worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 What about political debates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 In political threads, like they are now. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 In political threads, like they are now. Right? And those are where? I mean, if there's gonna be "Other Debates" certainly political debates should get their own sub-forum too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 There are like, several active in General Discussion right now. ._. I'm open to the idea of a general debate board, as it's a feature of many forums I've visited over the years...I just don't know if we have enough general debate activity to do it. I'd ask the leaders on high about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm going to use this for my own suggestion... I think the debate should be a separate section, rather than a subsection. Now, I never bother looking in the General Fire Emblem section, 'cause I only see things about debates, generally, in the preview section of the board. As such, I never really see anything catch my eye anymore :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd like to do that, but it depends on how popular FE debating will be on these forums. Right now it's looking quite promising though, so you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd say the popularity of FE debating will only rise faster if you do indeed give it its own section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Don't tempt me. j/k We'll see. Where do you think we should put the FE debating forum? i.e relative to the other boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd say above/below the General FE section, or below the Shadow Dragon section -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Or make it a generic debating forum, and toss it in the general section :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 No, I think FE debating should stick in the FE section for obvious reasons. That also keeps the "preview issue" fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
