about me:
did pf at hunter high school for 2 years and i really liked it
general stuff and stuff i like:
I like smaller scale impacts.
Weighing. weigh impacts please. weighing is also only useful if it is comparative weighing. don’t just weight impacts but weigh warrants too. Also meta weighing like probability vs. magnitude
really good analysis. good analysis beats a bad card 1000% of the time. calling for cards is off time. dont steal prep.
only do a road map if you are gonna do something really specific. Don’t waste time
im not good with speed. share cases and speech docs with me if you want. hit me over the head with things im kinda dumb
debate is an activity about communication communicate to me clearly why you are winning or should win. say something funny, rap, have an actual good round. just dont bore me to death and make me stare at the ceiling and beg for it to end
if its not in summary it cant be in final focus
people don’t extend stuff for some reason. reading a tag line or the author and year is not an extension. actually explain the arg Please have consistent extensions and don’t shadow extend
im more forgiving to first speaking teams. I’d prefer if you would front line in second rebuttal as much as you can at the very least respond to turns
i dont know how i feel about theory and Ks in pf yet.
im really generous with speaker points
if i can do anything to make the round more accessible let me know
stuff i dont like:
somethings don’t have to be said
definition debate is stupid
i don’t like cross. use it for whatever you like. dont use it to be annoying and scream at each other
supplement cards with analysis dont just read tag lines without the context of the debate
dont run framework if you are just gonna drop it in rebuttal. 99% of the time framework is dropped in like the second speech and if it is flowed thru to the end its inconsequential. if you are running framework warrant it. framework is bad for debate if you run some bizarre framework to cheese your opponents it makes it harder to judge. I much prefer you frame individual arguments.
dont pull some goofy garbage or ill drop you (up to my interpretation)
dont be rude if it is to much ill drop you. Civility is prereq to any positive educational debate round and I hate meanies there is a clear distinction between an intense round and just being mean. be nice to novices
dont break the simulation. debate is a game
in conclusion:
my paradigm is just a frankenstein of stuff from paradigms i like. hold each other accountable and use good fundamentals to win. if you have any questions about my paradigm ask me in round
tldr just be nice, have fun, weigh, and dont be annoying
Feel free to email regarding a round or help with stuff. always glad to help im married to the game.
