gone and then it is still odd in parli were you really have no proof. I would always say
that it is better to have plan text were they can ask questions about them.
Disadvantage Arguments: I think all parts are equal and that you can argue them at any
level of impact (really see above). On the whole more links and more impacts is always
good.
Counterplan Arguments: I think counterplans are sweet and a pretty good argument (why
make you own ground...steal theirs :). As to types of counterplans, have a defense of your
choice. PERMS are a test unless you tell me otherwise and then as always defend it.
Kritik Arguments: I love the "K"!!! I Also understand a lot of this material which means
that you better not lie or really mess is up because if they other team knows it better and
can point it out your toast (I would never intervine with my knowledge but it can be used
agaisnt you). Also I am not sure how I feel about a real performative controdiction. A
large part of me says that if language is so important and what we do in the round is key
then why do you get to link to your K, but as always you must debate it out. Also tell
me how the K fuctions in the round if you want it to be prefait you better say so and
justfy it. If you do not tell me how the K functions then who knows how it will go. Kinda
up to what the other teams says.
T and Theory Arguments: I do not mind theory but I might have a slightly higher burden
than some judges. I have and will vote on all theory but it better not be a mess if you
want me to vote on it. Oh and I hate RVI on T (time suck args) but will also vote on them
if really mishandled by the aff (yes aff :)).
Approach to Deciding: I really leave it up to the debaters I honestly will use more of a
policy making approach if not told otherwise. Also you need to tell me how arguments
work, like the K, or I will do it myself but who know what will happen then. Honestly
I leave it up to you so,With great power comes great responsibility. Hence use it or who
knows what will happen.
Presentation Preferences: Could care less debate is about how arguments work and to
learn about research and the world. I do not care how you dress, were you speak from,
what you really sound like, if your partner talks to you once and awhile (never good if
overdone because it makes that person look dumb).
