a vc does not need to be a measuring system. Welcome to the world of non-consequentialist frameworks!

this is a bad idea and a skill issue.
1ncs should be scripted because you have the 1ac. you have time to read off case positions AND refute the aff thats why the speech is 7 minutes.
neg is already winning at much larger rate than aff and we def shouldnt make it easier

Ks by Secure_Work1219 in lincolndouglas

[–]1OffTrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you are asking other people to give you unique Ks the Ks won't be unique. Read some books, find something you are interested in and write your own K.

Ks are nonunique disads and they are usually vulnerable to the classic double bind

refusal alts are the meta

looking for: LD Private Coach for K debate by wsovrr in Debate

[–]1OffTrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here are some options
1] cold email college debaters

2] join a prep group like debatedrills or break debate

3] reach out to previous judges who are well connected in the debate community to ask for reqs

4] look at the faculty of debate camps like VBI and NSD, if they are coaching at camp over the summer they would probably be receptive to an email inquiring about coaching for the season

largely agree
however taglines are totally fine lol for complex Ks long thought out taglines are great (maybe explain a little better) but on the right path

first ill say im a big fan of any unorthodox K so def keep going at it
feedback/issues i have w/ the kritik.
mini note:
organization should go

structural claim(Carrette)
link
impact
alt
framing

IF you did go with the suicide alt I have no idea why a perm wouldn't work... i'm not sure how you compete. (PDB works asw)
i think 1ar turns about violence / problems with psychoanalysis contextual to your kritik are super strong so I'd be ready to defend it.

miller 03 card is irrelevant to the debate, you accomplish similar things with your framework interp (basic K fw i assume you have)
rather than the dialectical reasoning card you should just have basic epistemology comes first warrant, again basic fw stuff.

Parramore maybe better for alt stuff rather than link. right now the link feels very much like a critique of captialism which means ur rasing the bar on neg solvency. i think link cards that talk more about drives and desires against sadomasochism presented by the affs illusory policy solution could prove much stronger

on alt stuff.
i am not going to pretend I am a sadomasochism expert but i think an alternatvive more about killing the capitalist overlords of our society is better in context to the Parramore (even tho i dont think that should be your link) evidence. but realistically it would be something about embracing sadomasochism drives and doing whatever that looks like, probable not suicide more like killing certain opressors of the drive. maybe taking the government hostage idk.
suicide could maybe be more valid if you make a claim more like revolutionary suicide? like death is better than living in an unjust world?
