If you want, I'm happy to do a God debate with you (obviously you would be the theist and I would be the atheist), as well as my debate with Guest. I can manage to do both, I just won't post in other threads.Looks like the other marijuana thread is up! I promise not to look.
Anyways, if Pierre doesn't contact me back within a week or so, I may have to switch topics. Problem is, I agree with adumbbrodeus on the Arizona Immigration law and with Bob Jane on the obesity topic.

Changed my mind.

Sure, thanks for the offer. I'll give Pierre a few days, and I'll probably ask around with the newer debaters like GS suggested, but I'm definitely up for it if that's what it comes down to.

Okay, I'm the guy arguing against the government doing anything on obesity. And actually at the moment, I'm rather busy. RL matters. So, maybe, wait a week.

Thanks. I've got a few exams on at the moment, at school. So, matters are getting rather busy.

Dark Horse, are you going to make the thread soon, I think I've got a fair amount of time on my hands now?

Can you wait until morning?
Just as a reminder, anybody can make a thread at any time. The three week timing won't start until you actually begin the debate.

Whenever you're ready. I probably am in a completely different time zone, so... just go on.

I'm just going to assume at this point that Pierre will never respond. Dre, I'll take you up on that God debate if you want to. Could you be a bit more specific about what exactly you want to debate though?

Hi Acrostic, I'd prefer to start over the Christmas break, lots of midterms and exams still to go.
Whether God exists?I'm just going to assume at this point that Pierre will never respond. Dre, I'll take you up on that God debate if you want to. Could you be a bit more specific about what exactly you want to debate though?
If you have something more specific, then we can do that.
Because you're an atheist, I won't attack theology or religion of any sort, which is any easy way out for atheists.

I wanted to be in this, but it looks like the only topic open is arguing for the Arizona Immigration Law. I really do not support this law in any way...but I think I will take a chance just to learn more about the subject. Lets see how convincing I can be :3

Sounds good to me. Yeah, I'll try not to use any stereotypical theist arguments either.

Oi Dark Horse, would you mind posting? I'd like to get this under way, I've already replied to your post, and I'd like to see your response.

Sorry, the thread had magically removed itself from my subscriptions list. I'll get to it after school.

Dre, do you want me to just go ahead and make the topic?
Sure, I'll try and fit you in when I have time later today.

Don't worry, it's just I'd like to get this thing under way.

I'm assuming that new contest related threads should be placed in the newly opened subsection. I've also wondered whether we could turn this into a tournament, if everyone is open to the suggestion (i.e. winner of a 1 vs. 1 debate goes up against the winner of another 1 vs. 1 debate).

Ok, I should be able to post it this weekend in the special new room.

Okay, don't worry, I'm fairly busy myself.

Can we make the, "Debate With Your Power" subsection to be open to public view?
Sorry I've been absent lately. I've been busy the past few weeks. As I'm sure you've seen, the DWYP sub-forum has been made visible again, and all new threads should be created there. I've moved all the threads that were already made. I've also updated the matchups in the OP to link to their respective threads.
I took a look again, and the only open position (vs adumbrodeus) would be arguing against the immigration law. Let me know if you still want to participate.
Possibly. At the same time, this contest has stretched on for a very long time as it is, so it may be in everybody's best interests to just have a one-time judging, though we can certainly consider this. Either way, having a tournament-style contest is definitely something we will do in the future.
Will do, I'll ask an admin to take care of this.

Will there be some sort of indicator for the threads that the debate timeframe has expired? I don't want to read the threads until they're finished, and with finals/holidays/alcoholism impending, I don't really want to keep track of each thread. Maybe something with color coding perhaps?

Are you asking for the implementation of a new script because you're unable to calculate a month from the start date of a new thread? Even though I'm sure that moderators can simply close the thread when the month is up, it is perplexing to grasp how you are willing to read through the pages of paragraphs present in the contest, but desire an application to tell you when a month has expired from the beginning of each posting date.
lol
anyway, yeah... GS will be locking each thread after the time limit has expired, so for judging purposes, just check back every now and then to look for locked threads?
