Please refrain from speed reading, using complex terminology without explanation, and using complex debate strategies. I expect a decent amount of clash between the opposing sides. I prefer a form of debate where all of the arguments are laid out and I know which arguments to vote in favor of. I prefer to keep the debate space civil and will vote against you if you are being impolite or vulgar. Your arguments should be consistent throughout the debate and new arguments cannot be brought in during rebuttals. The 2nd affirmative rebuttal should be comparing your arguments and explaining why you have defended your case sufficiently. Your affirmative case must have solvency, inherency, topicality, significance, harms. I will flow out speeches, and I would prefer if you gave an order or off time road map for your speech. If the Affirmative drops or conceded an argument they must explain why they didn’t drop it or why the argument was insignificant in the first place. I expect offcase to uniqueness and links to the affirmative case.
