Are we going to have collective team posts, or each person post there own? |

I say collective team posts. That's the only way to ensure that this is actually a team effort, and not simply 2 people arguing the same position with no collaboration.

I'm thinking something like each person has to send their post to the other member for edit and then post. And possibly allow more time between posts. Robert Guy who is keen to get started |

This is what I suggest. Each team should post collaborative posts. There should be no delineations between arguments of each individual, so that each teammate is accountable for each word written. Other than that, I don't know of any ways in which the debate would differ from the one on one debates. |

Topic: "Democracy is the ideal form of government" Socrastein/Jay v. TSZ/Roobarb Postivie .............. Negative Collective posts done in standard form. Is there anything else we need to decide, or can we go ahead and get this started? |

Sounds good to me. "The time has come for people of reason to say enough is enough. Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's devisive, and it's dangerous." -Richard Dawkins |

If Jay and Roob want it, that's fine. But I don't. "The time has come for people of reason to say enough is enough. Religious faith discourages independent thought, it's devisive, and it's dangerous." -Richard Dawkins |

I say no vote because one team may end up losing because uninformed people end up doing the majority of the voting. Kind of like in the US. I'd rather just present arguments about who I think won. What is this, a school for ants?! http://www.specialdefects.com/v1/embed/heart_preloader.html |
