General/LD
I did trad and prog LD in high school and do policy at OU
I will weigh Framework, but I won't vote for you purely because you won Framework.
I can judge anything and will flow, so don't lie about what happens in the round that makes me sad.
Pls, don't be rude to each other. It is my biggest pet peeve ever, and if you do it, I will get angry.
If you have any specific questions about types of argumentation, you can ask me. I am usually okay with anything as long as you do it properly.
PF, I don't care about the framework. It's usually irrelevant, so don't expect me to vote on the framework.
I usually don't judge policy, but when I do, I can keep up. Please don't be rude to each other, and I don't care.
Congress-- I know what I'm doing, so there is no need to change to fit what I like. Do your thing.
Policy-
I do college policy at OU, I am fine with any arguments as long as I have a speech doc.-- I am better about telling u my paradigm verbally so just ask me
hi hi!!
im meera, im a junior at ridge (if u wanna stalk my wiki im ridge ms), and this is my third year doing LD! ive done both trad and prog styles (qualled to nsda x2, ncfl x2, toc). my email is meerashah@bernardsboe[.]com if u wanna send docs.
tldr can eval anything, but prob not complex phil v phil debates, and not the best for phil in general. if you give good judge instruction and weigh i can prob vote on anything though. the only thing i won't vote on is eval, substantive tricks are fine.
don't spread out novices or people who can't spread. you can circuit them out, but i think a good debater shouldn't have to rely on circuit arguments to win.
i vote on the flow but prob have a high threshold for friv theory
this is debate, but its also a communication activity -- dont forget judge instruction, weighing, and explanations!!
prefs (cool for a good trad round anytime) (this is in order of how confident i am in my ability to eval -- i'll eval anything you read tho, and good judge instruction and explanation can solve almost any problem)
1 - K's (k v k, k v policy, etc)
2 - LARP (WEIGH), T, phil v util/k
3 - theory (real stuff, creative shells)
4 - friv theory, phil v phil, trix
