Ok. The way this will work is that I will assign positions to people in each debate team. The positions are as follows: 1st speaker, 2nd speaker, 3rd speaker, and rebuttle. 1st, 2nd and 3rd speakers will alternate between teams. I.E. 1st speaker OoT, 1st speaker TP, 2nd speaker OoT, 2nd speaker TP, and so on and so forth. Rebuttle is just the final speaker, allowed to call upon certain key points in the debate and criticize or praise them. The opposite team goes first when it is time for the rebuttle to speak. The team that makes the most points wins. Points will be based in 3 categories.
1. Persuasiveness. Based off of the persuasivness of the speaker.
2. Evidence. Without evidence, who would believe you?
3. Etiquette. Points will be taken off for poor sportsmanship. That means no posts of protest, and things like that.
Now. Two more things: Thier will be two judges, myself, and one other person, which means 7 people will have to participate as debaters. If you need me to clarify all of this, e-mail me. You should know what it is. ^_^ Waiting for participants!
UPDATE: There still isn’t enough people participating, so I will go ahead and decide postions for the people participating currently. Anyway, here are the results.
Pokemaster Luigi: OoT Team, 2nd Speaker.
ZELDAFAN!n_n: Judge.
Mario64Mario: Twilight Princess Team Rebuttle.
Uberzeldamaster: Twilight Princess 2nd Speaker.
Odd… everyone got a position they wanted… >_>’ <_<’ >_>’
For those of you who do not understand this, let me clarify. In the debate, the judge will pick the team that goes first. Then, the first speaker of that team will speak his case, but it must be limited to 3 lines. Then, the first speaker of the other team will speak, with the same restriction. Then, the second speaker of the other team will go, once again with the same restrictions. The second speaker of the opposite team will then go, and then the rebuttle of the same team will go, but he/she will have 5 lines instead of three. No one but the rebuttle may critisize or praise comments that have already been noted. Once we have 1st, 2nd speaker, and rebuttle for each team, we will start the debate. Until then, plan what you will say. Ciao!
Hello again. It’s been awhile since I made an article so here are my thoughts of today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guys… I made this blog so that the people that used to inhabit Zelda Blog would come here when ZB shut down. *akward silence* Ok, why am I kidding myself? I’m lonely. During the summer, I have no outside connection to the world and friends… Except the Internet. When I discovered ZB, I was the happiest boy in the world. “Wow, an entire community interested in the same thing I am!” You can imagine how I felt. I guess. Thing is, ZB isn’t there anymore. Neither is TML. Through all of his excess nagging to stop breaking such-and-such rule and stop double-posting and blah blah blah, I still liked him, he was humorous, dramatic at times, and very resourceful. My point? I miss him. Sure, I started my own blog, but… it’s not like ZB. My blog will never be ZB in any way. Humane or inhumane, ZB really felt like a sheler to me, in a way. *Sigh* What I’m trying to say is I’m lucky to have such a good group of friends such as yourselves.
Summer ends for me on the 27th. When school starts, I’ll have even less time for you guys. This doesn’t mean anything. My blog will always be up. If you want to become a temporary administrator, just tell me. I want this blog to be active, 365 days a year. Once again, I’m lucky to have friends like you.
Don’t let me down.
