 Pro I am wagering the benefits that come from winning this debate on the conjecture that this debate will receive 10,000 views before it enters the voting stage. The time to argue is 24 hours, so it should take too long to get through the debate. Good luck to you and me. May the gods battle and show favor toward whomever slaughters the most goats. Kittens!

Pro I AIN'T SCURRED!!! *Posts round with 23 hours 59 minutes and 23 seconds remaining* Con (quickly hides knife) As of this post, there are 511 views. That's a lot of F5s. |

Pro This is ridiculous! Every minute I refresh there are hundred of more views... How is that even possible considering the limited people on facebook and DDO and my family??? FUTURE LOOKS GOOD Con |

Pro For kicks, I'll present comments from some of the more "sensitive" members of this site. It's astounding how bonkers people can get over trivial issues LOLOLOCOPTER darkkermit - "so tempting to report you for spamming." unstupendousman - "He created, what, five other threads to do the exact same thing. Report those." stephenhawking - "These debates really do lower the site quality..." [RESPONSE: OberHerr - "Hey, just like revealing personal PMs!" FREEDO - "You know, as much as I love spam, I have to agree. A funny debate is good but the debating part of this site should really be held up to some higher standards. typos typos retyping sentence retyping sentence I'm definitely drunk GOD! So many typos!!!!" airmax1227 - "yeah I thought the first one was cleaver, but now its just annoying how many of these there are. And the spamming certainly isn't helping that perception." Clearly these members are more highly evolved than us riff-raff who engage in sites that pollute the pristine waters of DDO. Con To win this debate, Pro must show that ten thousand people have "viewed" this debate once, or one person ten thousand times, or two people five thousand times, or any permutation of that formula. If he doesn't, he loses. |

Pro Definitions of terms come in the first round. If a term isn't defined, it goes by the most reasonable meaning. According to this debate, it was viewed 10,542 times as of the writing of this round. Semantics is generally frowned upon in debate, regardless. Pleas read the below:
CONCLUSION I have won this debate as of the beginning of the fifth round, and therefore should be declared the winner and gifted with lavish resort packages and arguments points. P.S. I love everyone who contributed through networking, viewing, and moral support throughout these tumultuous past hours. I feel like we've created an intense indomitable bond through our collective toil. I love you in the true meaning of that phrase. <3 Con Pro has not shown that this debate has been (or, by the time I post this, will have been) viewed ten thousand times. He has therefore lost this debate. Vote Con. Thank you. |

Reasons for voting decision: Pro made the case that he was right because his source (the DDO view counter) said he was right. Con said the source was bad. That's about as far as this debate went. Poor quality debate from both sides, but on the basis of the arguments pro did not meet their BOP.

Reasons for voting decision: Nerdy seemed to provide a proper RFD, so Microsuck's CVB was actually a VB, and THIS is a CVB. Isn't the voting system fun?
