NRS - Second Task + Group Reshuffle. All Read

Postby The Host on Mon Apr 11, 2005 12:55 am

First of all we say goodbye to RuffRyder who was narrowly beaten by Dweaver in a surprising eviction loss.

PLEASE READ IN FULL

Alright first up, there's been a few people quitting lately and it's getting more difficult to get together enough 'replacements' for these people, so I've come up with the following solution...

Considering Sit and ONYX were the only remaining members of Team Retardo, I assigned them to different groups. I did this based on what I thought was a fair and reasonable way of thinking, and this is what I decided.

ONYX is now a member of Team Weis, the team looks like this:

Dweaver
qballer
The Answer
ONYX

Jona dropped out of the game so I made a straight swap. The reason I put ONYX here is because I think this is the group that'd be least likely to attempt to murder him before the week is up.

Sit has been moved to Team Darko. The reason behind this is that I think the team deserves an extra member who will be active, considering it was basically Riot and Gloveguy doing everything beforehand...

Gloveguy
Riot
Alcoholic
Null17
Sit

I realize they have 1 extra member, but I don't personally think it'll give them an advantage over anyone else. I'm trying to be fair about this and give everyone an even go, so don't get shitty with me.

One more matter of business, we have a new group...

TEAM ARTEST

Jowe
Cameron
wisdom_kid
Colin

I know they wanted Team Discover Channel, but they can change it if they win this task...

Now we move onto the task...

THE MASSDEBATE

Here's the idea behind the task... considering Team Retardo didn't think my first task was intellectual enough, this should more than make up for it....

Here are the rules, please read them as it's somewhat complicated...

:arrow: 2 teams will face off against each other on a debate about a random subject.

:arrow: The teams will not be able to choose whether they are for or against the subject. As with normal debates it will be assigned to them by a random selection process

:arrow: Each debate will have it's own thread, and only members from the two teams may post in that thread. By the end of the week I will make a new thread so people can vote on the results of the debate. I'll also find an independant adjudicator to oversee the voting.

:arrow: The way the task works, is that the debate will be fought out on the forums in public view... which means if you think you can contribute to your team with an argument, then post it. You don't necessarily have to consult your teammates on everything you do, because you're all arguing the same thing so feel free to post whenever you want as long as it's on the topic etc.

Here are the topics and the teams who will be battling it out. If you don't understand ANY of this please ask because it's important that you comprehend all of the task.

Here are the topics, who will argue them and what opinion that group will take...

Team Darko vs. Team Yinka

Topic: Abortion, should it be legal? Is it morally correct?

Team Darko will be the affirmative, Team Yinka will be the negative.

Team Artest vs. Team Weis

Topic: Media intrusion, do the paparazzi go too far?

Team Artest will be the affirmative, Team Weis will be the negative

Team Rodman vs. Team Kemp

Topic: Is there a gun problem in the USA? Should gun laws be changed?

Team Rodman will be the affirmative, Team Kemp will be the negative.




As I stated before, each 'battle' will have their own individual thread to use for this debate.

Can everyone post for me the following...

Team Name:
Team Leader:

Remember, the leader from last week cannot be the leader from this week.

Any questions please ask, and if you don't like the task feel free to suggest more. You can start the task as soon as you want, just make sure you let me know who the team leader is at some point, thanks.

By saying that we are arguing the negative, that means that gun laws are wrong, and that there should be minimal gun laws, correct?

:lol: good start... but yeah Gloveguy was leader last week so Riot goes this week. The task will go for 5 days btw.

Topic: Is there a gun problem in the USA? Should gun laws be changed?

Team Rodman will be the affirmative, Team Kemp will be the negative.


Negative to the question which is basically is there a gun problem and do the laws need to be changed accordingly, so you're arguing that there isn't a gun problem and the laws don't need to be changed.

No need, Null. I'll give (Pope) Riot the reigns this week, especially since I was the leader last mission.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but the team who ultimately wins this task outright (there will be 3 winners, but I mean the team with the most total votes) gets to change their name to whatever they want.
