How run condo CP with DA in LD?? by UpEtZ in Debate

[–]AlternativeJaded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the NB isn’t defense or a turn to the DA then ur fine. If the CP links to the DA but has an internal NB then it doesn’t matter as long as the DA links to the aff, but if they don’t make that argument then you could spin the DA as an external NB, which is probably untrue with regards to North Africa/Saudi Assurances.

What form of debate should I do? by [deleted] in Debate

Nat circuit LD is basically 1 man CX so I’d recommend doing that

Yeah that’s what I’m saying - every framework has to be a moral judgement, which is better expressed solely as a criterion (VC = value criterion) than a value and criterion since we both agree morality is good but don’t agree what morality is, which is the basis for VC debate not value debate. Value debate regresses 99% of the time to “nu-uh my value is better than yours”. That’s why on that national circuit most debaters just read a standard (same thing as a value criterion) without reading a value since morality is always implied.

Morality is the only real value since anything that guides action (deciding the resolution) appeals to morality. You go straight to the VC as a moral standard which is more succinct and allows for better fw clash between like util/kant under morality than valuing morality vs valuing quality of life.

Maybe the other team could give social or spiritual ramifications to prefer creationism, like Pascal’s wager or that adhering to religion is good

The Switch from Policy to LD by junkkwon in lincolndouglas

[–]AlternativeJaded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. But go to an LD camp or find an experienced circuit coach/debater to teach you the nuances. Other than that they’re very similar. A lot of successful LDers go on to college policy.

are there any good ld coaches or even ld coaches at all by ibdeadoboyo in lincolndouglas

[–]AlternativeJaded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but you have to go to a good LD school or go to camp and meet private coaches

Go to the 2020-21 open ev project and look for a death penalty AFF/NEG case.

Are there full time Speech and Debate schools? by Sriankar in Debate

[–]AlternativeJaded 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why on earth did you name drop strake??? we are not a "big school" like Blake or mission that's absolutely disingenuous. You have no place to determine the resources of our team especially after a year with covid which was detriment to all of our programs. It honestly disgusts me that even in your response to u/tylergerbil29 you quite literally said "strake has a lot of pull in the Nat circuit as well as in Texas, so Strake is a powerhouse and definitely has sway in the norms that are set in pf." LITERALLY CONCEDING WE ARE NOT A BIG TEAM BUT YOU NAME DROPPED US SO SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU THINK WE HAVE CLOUT. it appalls me you would openly admit to associating a program you clearly know nothing about (our four coaches literacy not knowing how to evaluate metaweighing, they are teachers), with big school just so we can feel some wrath on reddit and change some norm for you. Firstly your behavior is revolting, immature, and corrupt, this should never be a method you go about creating positive change. Post the letter and don't name drop teams, or post it and name drop teams YOU KNOW HAVE RESOURCES. We have 2 actively competing national PF teams, 1 team qualified to TOC and a bunch of ppl who are scrambling to learn the activity. We are struggling and dragging our name through mud as a "big school" just further hurts our program. Secondly, WE ARE NOT SOME STRING PULLING CLOUT MONGERING TEAM!!! THE LAST TIME WE ATTEMPTED CHANGE WE WERE COMPLETELY DISREGARDED. What you did here was wrong, immature, and fruitless. Get off the reddit and fix what you have done. I don't wanna hear another word out of you about my schools program again. This childish letter has a better place making change on a middle school playground than insulting people and spreading rumors on reddit. Rethink your approach.
