[Forum Game] Debate

[spiderman1000 737]

Ok big deal topic

 

So basically a person starts a debate on a random topic like 'why should we save nature' and pings a few people who have know ledge on it like id ping @sensei_tanker and @F41TH for this.

 

OK now rules

1) Trolling/spamming/etc will not be tolerated At all and will cause a straight ban from this topic without any warning.

2) each side should have 5-5 or 10-10 posts for judging

3) then the judges (ill get there) will see who wins and declares them winner. (easy)

Now for complecated.

Guardians of the topic: All the Mods Like @Sacrifice, @ControlledChaos, Etc and the judges. they will see the violators and punish them. they will also keep a record of judges.

 

JUDGES (VERY IMP)

The judges are guardians as well as the the lords here like in a court. they are the supreme leaders.

WORK OF A JUDGE

a judge will decide who wins the debate without any partiality.

NO OF JUDGES

Between 5-7 (ill be a permanent one of course so 6-8)

QUALIFICATIONS

1) has to be promising

2) no partiality.

3) should know about the topic.

4) recommend advice: keep a judge of each field for better judging.

FAQ

1) judges can participate in a debate but they lose the ability to judge that one.

2) judges have to make a PM in forums for decisions.

3) majority wins

4) in case of tie, we ask public through an off topic poll.

HOW TO APPLY

normally, judges will nominate a few people and debate whether they want them or not. in case of dire circumstances, people may themselves give their bio, forte and y we should choose them. after getting selected, judges have to work honestly.

INACTIVE REMOVAL

any judge inactive for more than a week without any reason will be considered inactive. 4 more days and its a kick. however, a judge removed like this will have the power to apply when there are places but there still will be a majority vote for you.

VOTE OF NO CONFIDENSE

if a judge doesnt satisfy people, they may do a vote of no confidense and the judge will be removed if

1) if the public debate and polls all have majority

                     OR

2) If the judges think it is legit to remove him

 

A court marshaled judge cannot apply until the judges think he deserves a chance but however he will have to apply like a normal person

RESIGNATION

A judge may resign for a reason and a resigned judge has the ability to apply directly like inactive.

NORMAL JUDGES AND HOTSHOTS

NORMALS

Normals will be normal permanent judges until they are removed.

HOTSHOTS

They will be the ones who are given a chance to prove if they are worthy of the post. if they manage to impress than they become judges else Better luck next time.

 

CURRENT PERMANENT JUDGES:

@Maf : yep he impressed me with his topics and will take good care of this topic.

@Sacrifice: he said he is a part of the debate committee so.... i have faith in him.

 

HOTSHOTS:

@Goges.Enze: for some reason he feels like he'll be a good judge

@Hexed : same reason

@Stratosphere: same reason again.

@Do.Or.DiE: same reason again

@Mr.Nibbles: fine all the hotshots are just a feeling.

@SHREYA88: she is given a chance as her his enthusiasm seems to be great. I wonder how well she does

 

That make 8 judges for now.

LET THE BATTLES BEGIN!

Okay here's the first topic for debate -

Is superman better or captain Marvel?

 

I nominate myself for the debate because I think I can. I'm not much of a superhero/comic buff, but ok. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Superman is better. We shall analyze this in two aspects: cultural impact and prowess. First of all, he is the OG superhero. For most kids, he is the first superhero who kids learn about and admire. Although, today, Marvel has a stronger grip on the cultural fabric of the world than DC does, superman will always remain a classic while Captain Marvel will always be a superhero that was created merely due to supply-and-demand. In other words, Superman was created as something new, while Captain Marvel was created because comics about superheroes were in high-demand by the market due to the commercial successes of earlier superheroes such as Superman and Batman. The only aspect of the cultural sphere that Captain Marvel defeats Superman is that Captain Marvel ended up become the face of fourth wave feminism. That said, Superman has had a lasting cultural impact around the world for a century, while the ideals of fourth wave feminism, objectively speaking, is something that is celebrated only by liberal women under the age of 25 in hypermodern westernized countries. Superman definitely wins the cultural argument. Now, we have to analyze their actual powers. Based on strength and speed, they are both equal, both known to be able to lift 100000000000+ tons and fly at around the speed the the flash runs at. While Superman's powers are derived from his Kryptonian body, the radiation from solar masses makes him stronger, meaning that the longer he lives, the stronger he gets. On the flip side, Captain Marvel's powers are divine and given to her by Gods. Superman also comes with heat vision and can shoot x-rays and has frost breath, while Captain Marvel can shoot and absorb energy balls that basically make her a portable death star. Captain Marvel is also blessed with clairvoyance, so perhaps in a 1-v-1 fight, Captain Marvel is able to anticipate Superman's moves, but Superman also has vision and hearing significantly stronger than regular people - he can hear heartbeats and stuff like that. So, Superman probably could also anticipate Captain Marvel's moves. So, relying on pure stats and abilities, they are at a draw. However, we also know that Stan Lee himself stated that Thor is stronger than Captain Marvel and would beat her in a 1-v-1 fight. Superman most likely would be able to defeat Thor since he probably could just absorb the lightning Thor shoots and make him stronger. Superman also has a wider range of special abilities than Thor does, and probably travels significantly faster than Thor. Using his versatile abilities and superior speed, I dare say that Superman would be able to defeat Thor in a 1-v-1. Therefore, by syllogism, Superman must be stronger than Captain Marvel. So, ultimately, Superman is better than Captain Marvel by both cultural impact and prowess.

 

Also, I don't like Brie Larson.

I posted this topic just for sake of a prank. If you want to know who is better, just watch death battle- Superman vs. Captain Marvel. Lol @sensei_tanker you  got really serious about it... 

Also you can't just post a super-long paragraph about as your argument.. You need to make it concise so that other people can post counter-arguments efficiently. 

you can post text walls.

 

so ill star the first debate.

 

SHOULD WE CHANGE TO RENEWABLE SOURCES?

 

Tags @sensei_tanker @F41TH @At_Shin

 

Also can the judges tell they saw rhis topic? im being paranoid.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Should we change to renewable energy? Absolutely. As we run out of renewable energy sources, the prices of energy will increase exponentially due to decreased supply. This will cause an energy crisis a thousand-fold greater than that of the 1970s energy crisis when Arab nations decided to withhold their fuel from western nations. Moreover, by switching to renewable energy, millions of jobs will created, and significantly more jobs will be created in the private sector under renewable energy providers than jobs lost from oil companies. Right now, the two largest growing jobs in the private sector are wind-energy technician and solar-energy technician, and I'm sure this trend will amplify in magnitude while we switch to renewable energy sources. Furthermore, there is always the threat of climate change. I'm not an expert on environmental science, but the current trend of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration correlated to the average temperature is alarming. There has never been a time period on Earth - that scientists have dated -  when the temperature shifts only in one direction without alternating back-and-forth from colder years to warmer years. Of course, nonrenewable energy sources such as coal and fossil fuels are a big problem, and must be taken out of the equation.

 

How should the change occur? Pragmatically, we can't expect an instant change to zero carbon-emissions immediately. That would face severe backlash from oil companies and the people employed by them. Moreover, that will also create an energy crisis. We have to first become energy independent by investing heavily in renewable energy sources while keeping nonrenewable energy in tact. These two industries will compete. Then, I would suggest implementing market forces to cause consumers to favor purchasing renewable energy over nonrenewable energy through carbon-taxes, the subsidization of the renewable energy system, and tax cuts for renewable energy companies. On the supply-side, it will be more profitable to run a business centered around renewable energy than nonrenewable energy, spurring growth of such companies. On the demand-side, renewable energy will be significantly cheaper than nonrenewable energy, causing people to become more likely to use renewable energy.
