This thread contains the rules for debates, and can be used to set up a debate.Debate rules:First, the debate needs a question, with multiple choices as to the answer. The debate needs at least two sides, each trying to prove a different answer. The sides may include any number of members, but both sides must accept the number if the sides are uneven.The sides can choose to either debate in a straight fashion, with both sides responding to the other's arguments and then putting forth their own, or they can have one side making all the arguments, and the other side simply responding to the arguments presented. Optionally, the debate can have a judge/s, whos job is to decide which side argued the most effectively and who proved their side of the debate.In the debate, the sides start by posting their side to the the debate. Then one side will post an argument. Then, starting with the next side, the sides will take turns, making a single post replying to the arguments and (if applicable) making their own arguments.If the sides have multiple members, they will still take turns of a single post. Any member of the team is allowed to make the post. It is suggested PMs are used for any discussion as to who will post and what to post.Editing your post after the other side has posted is not allowed.
