War Room Debate League
________________________________________
In order to streamline the Debate League process and start pairing off contenders more effectively, we're installing a sign up sheet and topic list/suggestion process. This will also serve as the scoreboard to tabulate victories, defeats and draws.
Below is a list of topics. Tag either myself, @Fawlty or @JDragon and we will add you to the debate pool. We will then pair people off based on their choices and announce debates as this moves along. That should help square things away more effectively.
Indicate which topics you'd be fine with debating and which position you'd take. We will then match discussion partners and set up debates. This will take the place of canvasing for interests and keeping a long list of them attached to each name.
If you and another person come to your own debate question and terms outside of what is available here, you aren't on the list, etc., simply message myself, Fawlty or JDragon. Just because something is not on the list doesn't mean we can't do it so long as the question and terms are specifically nailed down. The purpose of this whole thing is to simply make sure that us organizers don't have to rely on that.
For example, if you want to debate globalism and you're against it. You write "4 - against"
If you are comfortable taking affirmative or dissent, write "either"
You can choose multiple questions.
This is a working, rough list. The question pool will rotate based on debates occurring, questions being entirely unpopular, suggestions, etc. New overall topic ideas are great and suggestions for specific questions are what we really need. Current question pool is as follows:
1. President Trump will increase America's power and influence.
2. The United States should return to the Gold Standard
3. The rise of nationalism in Europe is a good thing.
4. Globalism is a force for good
5. The Iran Nuclear Treaty should be dissolved and remade -CLOSED JDragon/JudoThrowFiasco
6. Noncitizens living in the United States, including those not legally here, should be protected by the United States Constitution.
7. The South was justified in seceding from the Union
8. Roe v Wade should be upheld -CLOSED m52nickerson/Thurisaz
9. The US should put boots on the ground against ISIS
10. US economic policy should emphasize Laissez faire capitalism
11. Marijuana has medicinal benefit that warrants decriminalization nationally
12. There is no legal basis to ban assault weapons
*13. Secular debate on abortion
14. Institutional racism no longer exists in the United States -CLOSED Starman/Falsedawn
15. US Intervention is Cold War Latin America
16. The Death Penalty
**DEBATE IN PROGRESS:Intermission**

@Phr3121 -------------------------------------------- 0/0/0/0 ----- 15 Ag
Key: 0/0/0/0 = Win, Loss, Draw, NC
Example post for someone that wants to debate:
@Limbo Pete
4 - against (Ag)
5 - affirmative (Aff)
7 - either (E)
When two parties are determined for a question and a debate is official, that question closes to prevent repetition.
The Docket of Upcoming Debates
Those already on the list here (from the previous thread) are in the pool but should make a post indicating their question choices. I could probably match you up based on the previously stated interests but it's much more streamlined this way.
*Any debate question marked with an asterisk is of a particular nature/has particular details being worked out
