In order to keep this room fresh, lengthen my attention span, and other things, I've decided to hold a (an annual?) Debate Hall Roast. Any current posting member is up for grabs and pretty much it'll be just a for fun sort of deal with a slight twist (see below). Essentially, Roasts work where you just make sharp jabs at a person (usually extremely mean, but we will keep ours mild) all in the name of good fun. Since obviously not everyone can take a joke as well as others if you do not want to be involved, please reply here.
Here is where we deviate from the normal Roast. Firstly, not everyone will want to Roast one person, that won't be fun. Secondly, there isn't much to Roast about since well you guys don't know each other in person. To counter act that, you will choose a member, select a few of their debates and bring it up in a topic. (all this must be PMed to me first) You can bash any point of their argument, within reason, and bring back topics from when they first posted here (we all have embarrassing ones) etc etc. Using EE as an example since he probably won't read this, I can bring up his utter and complete lameness from when he first posted here. Using the quote tags will be fun. Again, this is all in the nature of good fun.
Now the person being Roasted (this term isn't the best now that I look at it) has the chance to rebut their attacks as all Roasted people get to do. Again, they can do their homework on the person and have fun with it.
I want to reiterate that there should be nothing over the line and I will PM all of you who are targeted by Roasters before allow the topic to go live (you won't know all of what it says). So if anyone is interested, start PMing or if you don't want to participate post here. Questions go here too.
I can't promise any prizes as I never spoke to anyone about this, but I can try to make this the conclusion to our ill-fated DWYP contest and make the rewards here. Also, any non-debaters who Roast or get Roasted gain instant DH access.
