Default Still ready for that debate?

In two days, you can prepare to be totally and utterly humiliated. After all, the PVG debate team clearly outclasses anything GT can throw at us. But if you want to try to prove us wrong, read on for what you have to do.

There will be four topics of debate that will be discussed in the way outlined in the previous thread. Two of those topics will be submitted by PVG and two will be submitted by GT. Once the submissions are all in, they will be put into random order. That way, both sides will know well ahead of time what's going to be debated on a particular day and will be able to plan accordingly.

The PVG team is working on the two debate topics, but we have a pretty good idea of what they will be like. It's time for GT to come up with two topics. Remember, they have to be open ended questions with some substance to them. No "Which console is the best?" questions, please. An example of a topic might be something like "Hiroshi Yamauchi has predicted that there will soon be a shakedown in the videogame industry that drives many companies out of business. Is he right? If so, when is this shakedown going to happen, and how bad is it going to be?"

Got the idea? Let's get to it, then. Everything else is ready. We have the fine members of N-sider acting as judges (they don't know any of us, so they're impartial). All we need are your topic submissions. You have two days to decide on them.

If you're not too chicken.

Topic 1 : Is Xantar a homosexual? If so, when did he convert, why did he convert, and why did he convert?! If not, then what is keeping him from turning queer?

Topic 2 : Which console is better? The Nintendo GameCube, the Microsoft XBox or the Sony Playstation 2.

Why do I get the feeling that PVG has already won?

(come on, you've got to come up with a better taunt than that, Xantar!)

Okay, here goes again.

You guys clearly don't have any balls!

*waits*

Debate is a pastime for those who feel a need to justify their intelligence through pointless crusades on meaningless topics. Those who truly possess unique and insightful thoughts know that there are more constructive ways to use them then on attempting to one-up egotistical windbags.

I am pretty sure that you are the one who has no balls. Or at least you don't use them.

It's a simple cycle.

Hmm... first you make something up, search for a rival, can't find any and then declare that you've won. That's dumb.

Just a bit off topic, but it has to be said! Your avatar is... weird .

Eh, there was a group of members who said they would debate with us (and moreover that they would win). If they aren't going to show up now, what are we supposed to think? You can't just say that they don't care because obviously they did care at the time.

I respectfully suggest that the members who aren't involved in the debate stay out of this.

Make me.



Shadow Link, Bond, Kitana, BreakABone, ..... Hmmm.....


But Xantar, were my two topics okay? Are you guys going to use them in the debate?



EDIT : How come the PVG website doesn't work for me? I clicked on Marc's sig, and the website didn't pop up... It just went to a blank page...
