“Farming” no. In many time periods he is the only person  with any open debates.

That's farming. I could do the same thing and boost myself to the top

No, you've been farming. Most debaters here only take debates that they think are worthwhile or interesting. You seem to take literally anything you think you can win.

It's not wrong, you can totally do that if you want to (Oromagi does it sometimes). But that's still farming by definition.

Yup. Truth is, the leaderboard is very inadequate for showing the skill of debaters. All it really shows is the ability to farm and the willingness to not forfeit.

I've lost to Virtuoso, someone who is #103 on the leaderboard right now. Admittedly, I was a lot weaker as a debater then, but I was a lot higher on the board than he was at the time.

Virtuoso is a very talented debater, he is a top tier on the site along with what once was of bsh1.

Yes he is. I have no shame losing to him although I like to think we would be at least a bit closer in skill level nowadays lol

Anything can happen

Eg: I had a debate (now deleted) with Oromagi that Greek Mythology is superior to Roman Mythology. Oro basically in R1 put his mafia reads instead of the argument. However in R2 I had a family issue arise and we mutually agreed to delete the debate, but Oro could've loss of that silly mistake

And I'm the 58th best. I could be higher, but I'm generally too lazy to write up debate arguments, so I don't really debate. You could also be higher rated if you put as much effort into your debates as you put into the tournament debate.

Farming is to boost your ego. Good debating mostly relies on your skill, your talent, and your amount of arrogance. Why? Because you can't win debates by always playing it safe. You gotta play it risky sometimes

You are supposed to rip open the spicy pepper package and empty the contents into the cup of noodles.

but i felt a sharp pain in my right hand wrist vein. why?
That was the plastic spork you ate yesterday, traversing the blood stream

I like to pour boiling water down my throat and then eat the noodles raw, and then dump the pepper inside, makes it much tastier.

I can only assume that you tagged me in this due to my PHDs in Tomfoolery and Rubik's cubes.

Sadly, much like your cup of ramen (not the one that inspired your post, the one you are eating while reading this one), both of these PHDs expired several months ago and I have yet to renew them. For this reason I legally cannot offer any advice regarding your current condition at this time.

Yes, and I know exactly what is causing it and can recommend proper action to resolve your issue immediately for a small fee of $69.99

Is what I would say if my PHDs were still up-to-date.

I thought this was about whether farming is a viable strategy or not, but how did it turn into wacky methods to eat dinner?

He is ruling out a possible deal, not directly asking for it? "I know a place where they sell burgers for 2.99" and "I need a 2.99 burger, gimme money". They aren't the same.

This post is ironically serious, not unironically serious.
