I've only been on one card and I've never faced Andre, TLK or Clique (until now). Besides, isn't the point of judges' feedback to improve one's game? I had no idea what the fuck I was doing when I first challenged Seabs and I can admit that. Since then, I've put in the effort to learn how to be a better debater and now I have a huge test against a quality opponent. I look forward to the challenge.

Clique vs Tater
Can opinion be wrong on an absolute level with regards to film, music etc?​

I have an admission to make. When I first saw this topic, I thought Seabs was intentionally trying to bury me. I've ranted in the past on what makes a GOAT list when it comes to media and Seabs knows this. Basically, I thought he was trying to force me to admit I was wrong because of the subjective nature of opinions when it comes to media.

Not only that, he put me in a one on one matchup with Clique; the guy who recruited me to TDL and gave me advice on how to be a better debater. Henceforth, allowing me no one to ask for advice when constructing my debate.

As it turns out, I may have been wrong about that. Seabs told me that it wasn't intentional and I am inclined to take him for his word on it.

Either way, that Daniel Bryan-esque battle against authority gave me the inspiration for the angle I have come up with for my debate. For that, I thank him.

My debate has gone through numerous changes since I initially approached the topic. It's a helluva question to ask. Even my mentor, Clique, said he came out of it with a headache. I tend to agree with him about that. With a topic with such trickiness as opinion, it takes some serious thought on it to come up with a viable debate.

That said, I applaud this topic. The difficulty in it is what makes it such a great debate topic. It has forced me to really think about what I want to do with it. I think (I hope) I have come up with a good angle on this but even if I lose, just putting in the effort to debate a topic like this will improve me as a debater.

Not to sound like a broken record or anything but I have very much enjoyed being a part of TDL. People gotta put forth an effort to be a part of this sort of thing. I find it fascinating as hell that something so awesome as TDL takes place at a wrestling forum of all places.

Thank you Seabs and every judge who has given me feedback on how to become a better debater. Being able to do this with you guys is awesome. Everyone (especially Seabs) deserves a round of applause. :clap

4/7 done with ZOMBO/STEVIE decided (write up to follow) and then just Seabs/Rush and BULK/Andre which I've already looked over a couple of times, so a decision and feedback shouldn't take long there. Hoping to have the final three ready for Seabs in a couple of hours time, tea break included because I'm not fasting for you lot.

So you challenged seabs without knowing what the fuck you were doing? lel, solid brah.



I was just trolling btw. Although they are basically just squash matches. I'd see INTER CONFERENCE battles than random squash matches. Like really, I don't think you stand a chance against clique. Nothing against you, but he's just a superior debater(better than me too, etc etc) and I'd rather see him against someone like TLK or headliner than you as it makes the match more interesting. this is mostly irrelevant as I don't read all the debates anyway and I'm merely giving a suggestion. :lelbron

Not one of my finer moments but hey, live and learn.

That's fine. I don't mind the underdog role. Also, there is a bit of a mentor/student angle to this. Clique was the one who recruited me to TDL and also the one who gave me advice on how to become a better debater. I love the challenge of going up against such a quality opponent. It presses me to come up with something truly epic if I want to stand any chance at pulling a W here.

Admittedly, I was a little taken aback and had no idea what angle to take with it when I first saw the topic. Once I got into it though, I was surprised at how much I came up with. I'm currently trimming it down to get it under the 800 word limit.

Win or lose, I do believe it will be a good showing. If nothing else, I expect people to be surprised at the approach I took.

Manchester United won't be top four because of youuuuuuuu I never stray to far from the sidewalk, because of moyes I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt, because of Rooney I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me, because of RVP I am afraaaaaaaaiiiiiiidddddddd

Even better, use Google Drive. It saves automatically after every change and it can be accessed on any computer. Also more than one person can work on the document at the same time if it is shared. Perfect for tag team debates. :side:
