    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura


    TOURNAMENT ROUND ONE!
    #1
    Welcome to the first round of the Nerischian tournament! This is the debate round. Every Nerinian has been paired against an Ischian - so have fun!
    Word limit: 1000
    How it's judged: Grammar, evidence provided, convincingness, structure; the judgement is SUBJECTIVELY judged by Sid, Tiny, and Devin. Though there's not really a rubric, we'll try to give as much feedback as we can in the moment.
    Posts: Either of you can post first, they will be judged in comparison to one another but not consecutively the way a battle post would be. What this means is that the two posts are only connected by the topic, not by each other's actual responses - it's like you're both presenting prewritten papers, not a debate back and forth.
    Your posts are due: May 15th.

    @[Mosrael] vs @[Reshi]
    Mosrael will be arguing PRO. We SHOULD.
    Reshi will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T.
    Topic: Separating kingdoms based on magics - i.e the Old Way of myhtics vs nonmythics, or how it is now.

    @[Leilan] vs @[Wishbone]
    Wishbone will be arguing PRO. We SHOULD.
    Leilan will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T.
    Topic: Allowing the opposite sexes to participate in the sisterhood and brotherhood.

    @[Viserion] vs @[Breckin]
    Viserion will be arguing PRO. We SHOULD.
    Breckin will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T.
    Topic: Separating kingdoms based on their light/neutral/darkness.

    @[Caw] vs @[Bristol]
    Bristol will be arguing PRO. It SHOULD (like how it was before, with the Jungle spirit and Dale river spirit animals).
    Caw will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T (like how it is now, with very little involvement).
    Topic: Beqanna expressing it's magic to residents through excessive means.

    @[Jesper] vs @[Eros]
    Jesper will be arguing PRO. We SHOULD (hand-raise heirs).
    Eros will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T (instead we should pick from the ranks).
    Topic: Heirs being hand-raised by monarchs vs worthy kingdom members ascending the throne from the ranks themselves.

    @[takei] vs @[traton]
    Traton will be arguing PRO. We SHOULD.
    Takei will be arguing CON. We SHOULDN'T.
    Topic: Having a spy caste.

    Any questions, pm Sid, Tiny, or Devin!

    CLARIFICATION:
    The anticipated format for debate posts are a first person paper written from the perspective of your character, with no preamble. What this means is that there is no “Scorch cleared her throat before continuing/shuffles her hooves” - it would just be “debate debate debate debate essay essay essay” and then be finished. The 1000 word limit is for your characters opinion entirely. Your characters are allowed to “know” historical facts that they normally wouldn’t to use as evidence for their debates.
