  • In addition to co-authoring the ever valuable Kritik Guide, for quite awhile he represented 27.5% of the total active votes. After all this time away he's still the #2 voter. By virtue of that alone, he's earned it; heck, his absence only enhances how profound his positive contributions were.
  • P1: It is prima facie that critical thinking is useful.
    P2: Syllogisms and the logical form help express and encourage critical thinking.
    P3: semperfortis raised the frequency of those techniques even outside his own debates.
    C:  semperfortis should be inducted into the HoF.
  • MisterChris
    Mister Chris is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
    Jokes aside, he is something of an enigma, having just appeared one day and ingrained himself as if we can all known him for years going back a few sites, and yet he's actually comparably new. Which makes his rise all the more noteworthy.

     
DEBATES
  • Should Abortion be Made Illegal?
    Caleb vs. Ragnar
    I'm still damn impressed by how well Caleb did against me. We each won and lost points and lost others, making voting mixed.  Not only was it the closest I ever came to losing an abortion debate, but it made me grow as a debater with lessons applicable to any subject.

I am not particularly feeling this category right now.

Alright, last round of this.

Users

Lunatic
This is a very distinct choice from my first two. I remember TUF well from his days on DDO, and while he's always been a solid debater and contributor in the forums, this is recognition for his efforts with Mafia on the site. I count at least 11 games he's designed and modded, kept up his efforts during a major slump in activity, has led efforts to get new people engaged with both forum and live mafia (for which he's designed and modded other games), and is a man of true culture for his love of the Stormlight Archive. We recognize a lot of debate and forum activity on this site, but especially going forward from this HoF, I think it will behoove us to recognize other contributions like his.

Debates

Resolved: Violent revolution is a just response to political oppression
Yup, I'm nominating another MisterChris debate, though I'm doing this one for a few distinct reasons. First, I think his opponent, Undefeatable, deserves some recognition. I'm sure he'll make my User list in future HoFs, but for now, he absolutely deserves recognition for the sheer amount of effort he put into this one. He's incredibly quick to post his rounds and still manages to be thorough and incisive. Second, this is just a really interesting topic that I think both debaters explore deeply and thoroughly. Third, it features what is most definitely my longest RFD ever. Seriously, that thing took me a long time to write, and I don't do that for just any debate. An incredibly close debate, one of Undefeatable's earliest (and best, in my opinion), it's worthy of attention and praise for both debaters.

how are ties dealt with and/or what is the policy in unvoting and voting?

Will there be runoff votes, for instance, if the tie for third is too close?

This is just nominations and not voting, correct? So what's the cutoff for what makes it to voting?

This is just the nominations. While not set in stone, I would estimate that anything seconded will move forward.

Updating my nominations a little:

Debates:
  •  THBT Systemic Racism Is Definitely a Problem in the US
    Seen plenty of debates on that subject, but this one stands out for good presentation. I don't think there's only one right way to present things, but good presentation is vital in debates. Additionally, the quality of the voting was superb! 

Forums:
  • Just checking in
    Blew the secret of the place wide open! ... And coincidently similar to the latest season finale of Doctor Who, but oh so much better!
  • Running Primary Poll Thread
    Incredible insight, which must have taken a ton of hard work by Imabench.

Thread: Why are we banning Wylted

Brought a whole lot of attention to modding practices
