Hey B, congratulations and well done.
But such announcements are best declared at the FCP which I linked in the last page.
Staff likes to keep this thread clear for people who seek new debates.

cheers mem

nice one

Greetings, honorable members.



I am up for debate on just about any topic.

New to this whole debate thing, but would be up for giving it a shot to see if I can handle the rigors of the tournament. Anyone in? Topic doesn't really matter.

Hey b,

What you should do is send a U2U to visible_villain since he's also up for a debate. You guys can agree on a topic and starting date, or you can have one of the debate moderators pick a topic for you. The important thing is for the two of you to agree to debate and then contact either MemoryShock or Semperfortis to set it up for you.

Any one up for a debate, I'm good for any topic, U2U me the topic.

Current status of the "First ATS Debate Tournament Of 2009":



We're about to start round 3, folks. MemoryShock or Semperfortis will confirm the exact date that topics will be posted. Be sure to read any of the excellent round 1 and 2 match-ups that you may have missed!

And, to anyone and everyone: we're always looking for new fighters! If you're interested in debating and want a challenge match, or simply have questions about debates on ATS, just post here.

The way things are going, putting my name forward for round 4 might be premature. Just saying.

Ill debate. Im in this to win this. Just let me know.

It appears I have missed some drama. Thank goodness.

It also appears that we are getting to the final four

Congradulations Heike!

Should prove to be an exciting and informative part of the tourny. Good luck to everyone who has made it this far, you are all going to need it.

So if anyone is in need of a chalenge match partner, I am just a U2U away.

Round Three will be posted at sometime on April 18th...

Stay Tuned...

Late, but here nevertheless. I know this thread is for newcomers, but.....

I want to encourage any and all members to try debating out. You won't believe how much you can learn in five easy posts! (also, for those less humble, you won't believe how much you can teach in five easy posts! )

And, they are a lot of fun.

The debate forum is a great part of ATS and the fighters are some of the best folks on the board.

to bad i can.t star it
so just a virtual star for you


i only can second that

great fun
you learn a lot - not only how to structure your posts - you have to read a lot more than you need
and this knowledge is with your then
and you know that you are making your point, that somebody - your opponent - is dealing with it, but so many more people are interested.

i can only encourage you to join the debate forum.


even if you are a non-native speaker, don.t be shy
it is possible and you improve your english as well by this way!

So, now, has all the 'dust settled' around the FCP 'reclocation issues' ?

And is this the new location for 'hanging out' ?

Just checking.

I dunno, I thought I wasn't supposed to post here.... just newcomers... but it seems that the trend appears otherwise....

maybe I misunderstood.
