TATER enough of these I blah blah blah blah BUT . If you got something to say just say it instead of trying to powder it up first. I certainly see right through it and I assume everyone else does too.



I will do it tonight. I promise.

Mostly lazy this time if I'm being honest. My judging is fast though so I was essentially just waiting for the list of people you're waiting for to be small :side:. It's small now.

Judges getting called out by the boss. Love it.



*breaking kayfabe

I really don't mind waiting for the results because I do really appreciate the responsibility of the judges but I will point out that the results on this card and the last have taken longer than usual. We had been getting results in an 8-10 day range before the last card. Now we're closer to the 2 week range. Again, I don't mind, but a thought I did have was to the posting of new cards. Since we are given 10 days to submit, I think cards should be posted around Fridays, so the debaters are allowed two weekends to work on their debates before submission time. I don't know about anyone else but I like to be able to work on a rough draft and improve my debate over time as more thoughts come to me. Having two weekends to work on a debate compared to having to submit on a Thursday helps me with that.

I don't care about your schedule and no one else is going to give it any thought when determining WHEN SHOULD I JUDGE.

First of all, go take a cold shower before you explode.

This is called powdering Tater and you do it all the time. I am smart enough to see right through it.

I am not complaining at all. I am more than happy to wait if it means quality feedback from the judges.

All I was really trying to say is that I prefer cards being posted around Friday because it gives 2 weekends to work on the debate. Weekend 1 is for the rough draft. Weekend 2 gives time to refine it.

Cards on the table, I have asked for extensions twice from Seabs. Once I was late submitting by about an hour and once I was late by about 6 hours. I live in Hawai'i, so it was a time zone thing.

Look, I am not complaining about how long it takes for judging to come in. I did point out that it has taken longer these past two cards but that is not a complaint; it's just the truth. No one ever stated that judging had to be in by a specific time so I am totally fine with whenever the results do get posted.

Allllllllllllllllll I am trying to say here is that I like the cards being posted Friday-ish because it allows me two weekends to work on my debate.

Eh they get posted when they get posted. 10 days is plenty as it is imo.

Bare in mind that most judges have multiple debates to judge and there's a few multi man debates this card as well which take longer. It's only been about 10-11 days since they were sent out now so it's hardly longer than usual, they usually take 10-14 days to get all done. The reality is they get posted when they get posted.

I'm not complaining about your beer gut. A beer gut is a beer gut. I have no problem with a beer gut. It's just that usually beer guts lead to high blood pressure and an early death. But let me make it clear, I'm not complaining about your beer gut. Breaking kayfabe for a moment, I actually appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating a beer gut.

Thank you, RAB, for contributing such intelligent thoughts to this conversation. I always knew I could count on you.




Seriously... I can't be the only mother fucker who wants a legit schedule for all of this instead of it being random all the time. If I am the only one who actually wants a schedule and everyone else is okay with this whole process being random as fuck, I'll just shut my fucking mouth and be done with it.

And what if the results go up on a Saturday and the new card is ready on Sunday? We suddenly have to wait nearly a full week. And what about people who don't come on at weekends and can only do them on weekdays for example? We're not tailoring these deadlines to suit anyone because it won't be fair to anyone it suits to have less weekdays. Just because it suits you better doesn't mean it suits everyone.

Also there's a 0% chance of putting a deadline on judging. Until you've had to judge multiple of these debates you don't understand how much time and effort they can take to judge and write up feedback for, especially when people have lives and don't have hours to spend judging on any given day.

What if John Cena got his ass kicked on a Sunday night at a PPV and he is not ready to go a day later on Raw? Should they just cancel the damned show?

Seabs, my girl, I totally understand where you're coming from... but Raw happens each and every week at a set time. No matter what is going on with anyone, the show is still going to fucking go on.

I am not trying to veil this in the slightest. If the retarded people who run the E can manage to put on a 3 hour show each and every week on a deadline, I'm just going to go out on a limb and suggest that the much more intelligent people like YOU can figure out a more organized way to run TDL.

Believe it or not but I do have that kind of faith in you, my friend.
