If there's one thing I love to do is- It's policy debate. I thank my opponent for giving me a chance to give my case a test-run. I will accept the position of the aff.

Oh and I had an Idea neg, I'll put my case as a word document and save it as a web page

Because of personal issues, I am choosing to wave this round, since we had to skip one anyway.

I thank my opponent for being understanding and I will pick up with the 1ar next round

I feel I've waited as long as I can... even if I get the link I won't have enough time to write an argument in response.

Extend all my arguments.

To all judges- vote neg on this specific debate

I had a computer malfunction, which gave my opponent a faulty link and then prevented me from giving a correct link. It is not his fault. I apologize deeply to my opponent for an incomplete debate, and again due to unfortunate circumstances vote neg

How are you going to be dealing with evidence since cut words count as characters here? Post the cut card in the debate and the original one in the comments?

I don't know about 2 K's, but I might throw one in there. I might only pull out 2 or 3 extinction impacts (not including the link turns I'll be running :)

On Cross-X.com they consider you stupid if you run less than 2 kritiks and dont run 7 extinction impacts. My guess is that con wants to actually debate the topic.

I won't accept, as I'm not very good at policy; But I'm going to stalk this debate.

Also, if you really want to do a policy debate on this site it might just be best to write full-length speeches and upload them to scribdb, then post the link for your round argument.

Why not just have the debate on cross-x.com? It would be much simpler and the judges would understand the debate much better.

Reasons for voting decision: Forfeit, but it was still interesting. I wonder if He-3 mining might actually be acted on. It seems pretty good even in light of alternatives.
