Total topics: 42
I have data on all finished debates (columns mentioned below) in a CSV format. Send me a PM with your email if you want it (or you can figure out another way). I also have some graphs and analysis I did with R, if you want that, tell me as well.
This was inspired by this debate: DART Voting requirements are excessive (debateart.com)
For Scraping:
I used a (VERY simple) BS4 based webscraper to scrape debate "stat" data from ALL finished debates. This stat data is the stuff you see under a debate in the debate list:
- Amount of arguments (7/8, 2/2, 6/6)
- Amount of comments
- Amount of votes
(Let me know if you want me to scrape more data from debates: debate name, debate instigators, debate contenders are all possible)
For the Data:
It's in a CSV format.
The specific columns are:
- Completed Arguments
- Total Arguments
- Proportion of Arguments
- Comments
- Votes
For Analysis:
There were a few interesting things I found with R:
- The mean of votes on debates that have a forfeit is double the number of votes on debates that don't have a forfeit.
- A majority of debates have at least one forfeit.
- Zero-vote debates make up 6% of all debates.
- The largest number of comments on a single debate is 384. The largest number of votes on a single debate is 27.
- I suck at statistics (and R)

1. Refer to everyone as a child.
‘Hush, child, the adults are talking’
2. Assume that everyone is trying to be a cool kid on a DEBATE website.
‘[...] and more importantly, I don’t think you’re a cool kid’
3. Be a cross between a far-rightist and a kid from Roblox.
‘Multiple TOS infractions engaged in’
‘Slaves were actually treated quite well’
‘Saying racist and racism is stupid’ (or something along that vein’
4. Dismiss all cases that you can’t refute
5. Have a superiority complex.
Pro tip: Have “demon” in your name.

First, I must confess that I have actually been on this site before, as well as debate.org. I didn't get a 13, turning 14 winstreak for no reason. I have done over 50 debates including BearMan. I have another account on this site, which I asked Ragnar to close.
Second, I must thank everyone on the site, regardless of their relationships with myself. I would like to thank the mods for running the site, as well as the users. I would also like to thank MisterChris, seldiora, Intelligence_06, Ragnar, oromagi, and ILikePie5 for just being wholesome people.
To Intelligence_06:
Thanks for having the debate with me about the term "All Lives Matter", I learned a lot about the social movements, and thoroughly enjoyed the debate.
To MisterChris and Ragnar:
Thanks for being good mods, that's all I have to say.
To seldiora:
The importance of debate is not to accumulate wins, but to learn how to debate. Rather than going full brute force at a debate, go from a side angle, which will lessen your burden of proof and make you more likely to win. Also, you have to learn better format. Develop your own, use Ragnar's, or mine. The only reason I got from a very low place on the leaderboard to 18th was because of format.
To oromagi:
bruh why are u so good?
To the people that hated me:
I can understand why. That said:
And with that, I am out. At least until the end of today.

There are three teams: green, yellow, and blue. None of the people know who is on their team. One person starts with the NK and once they are done, they will pass it on to another person. There's a twist though. There are deniers of this pass, which denies the pass and grants the person with the NK a second NK term. A person can only get the NK twice, if they are attempted to be given another term, the denier will fail. There are also stealers of the pass which steal the NK pass. If multiple people try to steal the NK, then the person who sent their actions first will get the NK. Finally, there are protectors of the pass, which protect the NK from being taken or denied.
Lynches are still in effect. Last team surviving wins.
Team Loadout:
1x Denier
1x Protector
1x + 1/2 chance Stealer

So yeah, I tried to debate on Twitter. It didn't end up well and I should've seen this coming.
I was being like 8v1'd on like a post about how Biden sucked. They bring up how Biden's SON was involved with China, because everybody hates China amirite?
I replied to the tweet and then I got bombarded by false facts with cringe flag emojis. The OP decided to ask me why Biden didn't deny the emails. I don't understand what she was tryna get at here so I said "Because they aren't liars, and they don't need to deny it."
Then some intellectual tried to come in and say I was wrong. He didn't provide any solid evidence that Joe Biden was involved with Hunter Biden's deals. I addressed this and said Trump had some deals with China too. He said by deflecting his argument (which I didn't) I was "conceding." He kept on going with this shit until the end where he rage-quit and blocked me.
Ok so then this other guy comes and says: "Can't comprehend your English, wang". Then when I respond he says "Reporting you to @fbi." Don't know why. He then says "No evidence is required for me to introduce you to the FBI"
The real weird thing here is that every single one of them ganged up on me and started posting weird ass shit on there. I'm gonna delete my Twitter account now.
Anyway, I had actually no knowledge about the topic and decided to wing it. Didn't work out well. Does anyone know what "wumao" and "wang" is?

There is a word you cannot say, it starts with S and rhymes with delicious. Any variants of this word are also banned. If you use it, you will get mod-roleblocked.
There are some roles that I made up because I felt like it

Yeah, I know how to put in the ballot and mail it but what happens after that? Why do sometimes the candidates get more votes from the people and still lose? What is the electoral college and what does it do?

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its funding and/or regulation of elementary and/or secondary education in the United States.
Doesn't matter if you lose, it isn't a debate on the site.

Ex:
Oromagi is the best debater
DebateArt is the best debate website
BearMan is the worst JoJo fan
1. Best or Worst is subjective (aka RM argument)
There are infinite subjects for best and worst.
2. Burden of Proof (aka Bear argument)
PRO has to prove that (subject) is better than every single (subject relation) in every single criteria.
3. Cheap Kritik (aka Croc argument)
(subject) may be the best at (subject best at) but is it the best at every single thing? Is it the best at endorsing suicide?

I mean come on bro. It doesn't restrict your breathing, it doesn't do anything. Stop thinking you are smarter than guys who have actually researched for years, for looking at google and facebook.
No it doesn't violate your rights. You are the literal people spreading the pandemic. Why does the US have so many more cases than other countries? Because people dont wear masks.

Not the concept of Black Lives Matter, but the actual group. I think it has gone too far, and I was about to write and entire rant about it, but then I realized I'd probably get doxxed and physically threatened by the internet for not following leftist propaganda.
