Additional remarks:

My full paradigm is listed on Tabroom already. Be excellent to each other. I'll intervene if you're just being insufferable in a round.

My NFA-LD paradigm and Policy paradigm do not have major differences since its basically the same activity with more speeches. I'm very experienced in judging and coaching both.
