Tech>>>>>>truth
I like good spreading and if you can do it, please do
I went to aberdeen central high school and had four wonderful years there. I did everything from interp to policy to extemp to oratory to inform to pufo, I can keep up. I know a lot about all of those listed above and will be able to judge to the best of my ability. I am a Three time NSDA National Qualifier, and TOC qualifer.
I am pretty well educated on most subjects and it will be hard to sneak one past me, but it also makes life easier when it comes to names, stats, etc. I can probably see right through your cap since I have probably pulled the same thing. That being said, I will not intervene on you capping unless your opponent tells me that you are, you should be telling me how to write my ballet.
I know all debate jargon, go wild.
Be funny, tell jokes, use analogies, make me laugh and you will automatically get a bump in speaks. Debate is supposed to be fun, make it that way.
Items that make me laugh include - Lakers, Warriors, Astros, Vikings, 49ers, Saints, and Bruins Slander, mentioning the rapper Future, and making fun of public fourm.
I will not or ever vote on... RVIs, Condo/Dispo, and Abuse. Be abusive as you want, thats debate, it is your opponents job to argue it. You bring 17 arguments to the flow I expect them to be answered by your opponent but you also need to extend and properly handle them.
Do not saying anything out the pocket, homophobic, trans-phobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic or anything of the sorts. I grew up in south dakota, it is not fun for what some people have to go through, and if you are like that to your opponent or partner, you will be down voted instantly.
Policy -
I am a 10 on speed, signpost and you will be just fine, if you do not sign post. I will be slightly annoyed and make faces to show as a such. As someone who practiced their speed and mastered it, I like seeing those who mastered it aswell, that being said, if you cannot clearly spread, don't, I will not dock you if you do not talk fast enough, but I will dock you for talking too fast.
I will vote anything that is not stupid. Arguments I find stupid - Condo/Dispo, some inround discourse Ks, Meme arguments, and Actor CPs.
I flow CX and think it is important for argument developing and using it as a tool in your arsenal to clown your opponents.
I tend to lean on a good CP with a mutual exclusivity NB with a sick DA, T, GOOD discourse Ks (IE - Security), Stock issues, politics DAs. I want offense, offense, offense, i want you to make your opponent pay for waking up and having to debate you with the offense you put on the flow.
Notions I carry with me into the round -
Presumption = Neg. Trying to change of this idea is an uphill battle and you will have an easier time trying to convince me that JR Smith is the greatest basketball player of all time. Do not waste your time on trying to dispute this.
Go wild, I wanna see wacky DAs and CPs, and PLEASE PLEASE run circumvention neg.
Public Fourm
Flow judge
I want offense offense offense, that's how you win with me as a judge in the back, I want to see offense or you will not get my ballot.
Do not waste your time with framework unless its good.
PET PEEVES -
Do not ask if you can have first question, if you spoke first just start CX.
Do not say, "off the clock roadmap", just give me an order.
Just say, "Everyone Ready" instead of asking each person in the round.
LD
I know very little about Traditional LD, but Circuit LD is what I know best, I am well versed in it, and philosophy as a whole.
Unlike Policy, if you can convince me death good, that is not a total uphill battle.
Ill be able to keep up with pretty much everything, I lean HEAVILY more on tech as stated above but Framework debate is not for me, I will be looking more on the basis of the contention level.
If you want to CPs, DAs, Theory Shells, Ks, I am your judge, I will be able to buy any scenario you give me as long as you can explain it lol.
I would prefer you email me if you spread due to my lesser knowledge of LD.
IEs
Be the best speaker whether it be a performance piece, information or whatever, just be the best. Talk pretty and do not be dumb lol
I am most familiar with Extemp, IX is my category of choice so I will be able to keep up very well, that being said i will see through any lies, just be smart about them. I want content content content.
tldr - do not suck, lol.
