Nonegfiat 640 Report post Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) hey friends. i wanna have a good time. post your shittiest theory shells here!! I'll start: Interpretation: Going overtime is a voting issue Violation- they didnt stop at (8/5) minutes Fairness- they skew time because the argument they made in that extra time is one we can't reciprocate Education- justifies infinite speeches which kills clash and deliberation Edited September 8, 2017 by Nonegfiat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nonegfiat 640 Report post Posted September 8, 2017 Here's one we had read against us: (im summarizing the arg because we never got a speech doc for this)Interp: Reading theory is a reverse voting issue -Takes away from substantive discussion -Encourages teams to read 8 minutes of theory -Unpredictable because they can make a violation out of literally anything 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmeryang00 134 Report post Posted September 8, 2017 I don't have the shell since I wasn't in the round but Lindale DW won on the Speed Theory K against Greenhill's E team while spreading. It was all analytics so I classify it as a theory shell. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonegfiat 640 Report post Posted September 8, 2017 Status of the aff? Status of the disadvantage? Status of the T violation? (this is apparently a popular one on cross x) Status of the condo bad shell? A is the interpretation: conditional condo bad shells are a voting issue B is the violation they kicked out of condo bad Thats a voter for education, they just perfconned themselves. Makes them bad advocates Drop the team to encourage them not to read theory as a timesuck because it trivializes in round abuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lmao I love MO debate lmao "you couldve just run a DA" ok sure just like your aff is unfair because you could have just got up and read timecube but instead you read a decent aff. how dare someone read an argument i dont want to have to answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"You could have read politics, federalism, spending, or states..." Yeah and you could've read the resolution before writing your plan-text. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
