| Our first installment of this event a few months ago went quite well and was enjoyed by many! We're planning another of these soon, so keep a look out here and if you wish to participate either as staff or contestant, please drop a note in this thread!  | |

- Can you elaborate?
Yes, I had planned to. Alright, so the idea is a tournament of sorts with set up duels in a single elimination form until we have two people square off in a final. The duels will be in form of debates, where the contestants are given a secret topic to discuss - one of them pro, the other against. Duels will be timed, and rules will be in place to give each contestant a chance to retort. We then have a number of judges (last time we had three) who will mumble among themselves and vote on their favourite. Whoever gets the most judge votes advances to the next round, until we have a final winner. Last time Azuan was eventually crowned Queen of Debates, and the competition was held outside the library, on the stairs, in Old Tarantia. Templari provide the guard force, and last time we also provided a tournament host (Aerika, who did an excellent job!) and Leoric as one of the judges, together with two other non Templari judges. Basicly, we need Templari for guards, host and competitors, and non Templari for judges and competitors. | |

| And prepare to defend (or attack) all sorts of topics. Ah, the good old stealthy little giant killer scorpions..... :') The 1st installment of the debating competition is archived in the little bit of grey mass I still have as one of top AoC moments.  | |

| Yes, topics can range from anything between the serious, the philosophical, to the downright crude and silly! | |
