Awards:  | Monthly True Debate Contest
Starting with the month of May, we will begin a series of debates using the best of the best in this community, pitted against each other in the view of their peers. Four Pairs will be chosen each month by the forum leaders based on personality, and likelyhood of complimentary debate skills.
Each will then debate a given subject for five days, after which a two day voting will take place by members....to choose the winner. These winners will go to the next round and repeat the process, until we have two gargantuan brains ready to spew diatribe at each other for our amusement.....and a wonderful gift from the all powerful man behind the curtain:
Trophy for May

I'd like to join. I haven't debated in a long time, and clearly, I need practice.
PM me if I make the list please!

| That's the problem already--people will be voting for their political views/beliefs and not who has won the argument. | |

No...they wont, we will be tracking the results from the onset of polling, any funny business will be adjusted in the results. We will also be using the membership poll as 1/3 of the final, with mods 1/3, and vague 1/3.....or a panel of judges made up of candidates not picked for the debate
