I want to set up a thread where two people can freely discuss here and arrange to debate each other. It can be any topic the two mutually agree upon. If you have someone you want to debate, feel free to tag them here.
(The terms of the debate can be rated, standard, multiple choice criterion, winner selection, or judicial decision.)

This isn't for any Tournament.

(Do not tag someone if there is a potential risk of derailing this thread into hostility.)

@Barney
@Savant
Barney, would you be up to debate Savant about the morality/ethics of abortion?

I debated him on the same subject a while ago. I think it might be interesting to see a discussion crossover between the two of you.

So you copied my thread but removed voters from the equation.

No, silly.
Stop derailing my thread by taking credit for my ideas. 

That's so unoriginal.

Honestly, if you're going to accuse me of copying your thread.
Please consider the purpose of your forum post was something I came up with months ago as the main theme for my Tournament.
Not yours.

Default categories for this debate will be Politics, Science, History, Religion, Sociology, Fiction, Pop Culture. (Possibly more.) But where this tournament differs from the rest is that topics/subjects will be personalized to match each competitors’ strengths in order to ensure they are operating under the best circumstances possible. (Like an algorithm.)

Additionally, type which categories are your favorite (or you’re best at.) if you decide.
Sign-ups continue until we get 10 participants and will run until next Tuesday. Extended, if necessary.

If anything, you liked it so much that you ripped off my idea.

4) You state whether your intent is to debate it, which side you prefer to debate and/or whether you want to vote on it. If you would only debate/vote if it's within a certain range of characters or time-away-from now, feel free to specify that.

This is a very obvious solution I am sure many regular debaters and voters have thought 'should' exist but didn't really make happen yet. I am not some 'genius' for this, it is just going to become an official thread where willing and eager voters meet willing and eager debaters so that debaters can engage on topics at times when the voters interested in those topics are available to vote, without needing it to be 'judge debate' format that has to be unrated or any other such complication.

I'm assuming you included the part that you're "not a genius" as a way to undermine your deceptiveness by making it seem like everyone else's idea, so you couldn't be accused of what you really did, plagiarizing my Tournament Origin.

Not that I care particularly. More power to you for pulling off such a bold and daring power-move.
However, I cannot applaud your dishonesty and lack of integrity.

Different bodies, incomes and locations will lead to different diets being optimal that may seem unhealthy or offputting to others.

Lying is the best strategy in them, defeating the whole purpose.

That's what I thought, seems very subjective.

How about as a proposal someone drafts a diet for a generic person?


so that way it can reduce the subjectivity?

I think there are issues onbthe site rn like oraniged vote bombing.


Under 10 mons prior to one triggered by him and the first voter is one he rushed to get voting rights that solely dedicated to voting against me.

These would affect me in any diet battle too.

Follow the users boba_tea and Sting. Their debates, votes etc.

Watch.

This is permaban stuff. If I did what Lancelot is doing, I would be permabanned.
