Con 1. For debate.com to make him win every debate. 2. For debate.com to overturn every loss already. 3. For debate.com to make each debate (even the ones he's not in) a win for himself. 4. For debate.com to give exactly 237 losses for every other member. This would be a bad plan. First, there won't even be a shot for someone to win in a debate against him. Thus, no one will debate him, but he will still get wins. He won't have fun or learn anything, nor can anyone else learn from him. Second, it is unfair that everyone recieve 237 losses on their record. Everyone will have a winning percentage of less than 10%, and Win/Loss records will be pointless. People also aren't attracted to the color red, and all win/loss records would be red. Third, it doesn't promote democracy. The idea of democracy on this site, where everyone votes, will be lost. Fourth, it will lead to hostility. People will be mad at Pluto because he would be so much more elite than the others. Also, people would get mad at the people that made debate.com for putting such an unfair plan in place. It would not promote the friendliness that this site has right now. I now eagarly await my opponent's response. Pro |

Con He also does not make any arguments, he just says Pluto's plan is great. I already responded as to why it isn't great. Thus, I have built up my offense as well as effectivly defended myself. At this point, I see nothing but a CON vote. Pro |

Also, you made that Pluto obviously set me up so that he could win with his "plan", no? And don't say I shouldn't of debated without seeing a plan because then you could also say he shouldn't have debated hecause he knew I could give my best argument in round 3 when he can't argue against it.
Don't get me wrong. Bringing up great arguments should be encouraged, but did you really need to say that in your FINAL round, reveleader5? Why not bring this up in round 2 so that it could actually be debated on? I'm not attacking the notion of coming up with great ideas. Rather, I'm simply attacking the notion that concerns refusal to actually debate.
Now if your goal is simply to exchange ideas rather than win debates, then power to you, but if you intend to actually win the debate, you'd at least better provide your opposition the chance to debate you.
Basically, a contender bringing up new arguments on his/her final round is in contempt of the debate itself.

Then again, how do we know you're Pluto2493? For all we know, I could be Pluto2493
Where's your plan?
