Wilfred's Debate 2019 Discussion and Sign-up
Rajahites, its time.
Time to just stop practicing your arguments on how intergender matches are reflections of society. Time to stop playing around with debating whether Dolph Ziggler should go to AEW, or whether Cody will be an asset as a booker.
Stop just thinking about how you wish you could invent a time machine trade Rowdy Roddy Piper into the Attitude roster, and how that would be WAY BETTER than someone doing the same with Bruno Sammartino.
Its time to get real with this shit. And determine who the real king of IWC debaters is.
That's right kids.
The greatest internet wrestling debate is back.
Wilfred's Debate has returned.
This debate is a Rajah institution.
This is the tournament where the cocky get humbled by some old guns. And those old guns ride on, right until some young gun with a dream and a keyboard knocks them on their ass.
Names are about to be made, and some legacies are about to cemented.
This has been a lot of fun for a lot of years, and its time for installment 13.
My noted debate tag team partner Badger and I wanted to get this year's version off and running, and run the tournament this year. We've both won previously, and look forward to running the tournament consistent with the past, but potentially adding a few wrinkles.
To establish a baseline (thanks for consolidating these previously Cewsh):
- The tournament is conducted as an elimination style tournament. Think the NCAA Basketball tournament, just with fewer players.
- All debates will be comprised of 3 posts by each competitor, each with a word cap of 350 words (cap may increase in later rounds).
- Those 6 posts must be staggered. You can't make your next post until the other debater has had their turn.
- Pictures, gifs and videos can be used in literally unlimited amounts to support your point. Information should be self-contained within your post. For example, you can't post a link to an article and expect people to go read it. Quote it in your post.
Previously we did, the following:
- The winner will be chosen equally from 4 sources. 2 judges, a reader write in vote, and a poll which will be posted on the main page along with your debates which will allow the greater Rajah audience to vote on your words.
Cewsh or one of the mods, might have to weigh in on the poll option, We will at least utilize a voter panel.
No prerequisites needed. Anyone can sign up. Now then, who's in?

Yeah like Mazer said we're working on a rotational basis. I'll be keeping an eye on things when he's busy and vice-versa.
Also keeping a stricter eye on votes as well.

Don't worry:
If another Board games favors for votes fiasco breaks out, Badger and I are ALL OVER IT.
