Saul is the 2n >.>

Last year tho

I honestly wouldn't advise it, IMO, framework, while not dead, is getting pretty antiquated. I'd advise that you get good at a few general turns for recurring K affs and go from there(i.e. If you were going to hit a lot of Race/gender affs, get good at some form of "X binary bad" or "viewing X oppression through X lens, it's rooted in the same episteme as whoever you're critiquing", etc) 

 

If you do decide to go w/ framework, i'd advise practicing it against A.) Team members who are good at whatever you'd read framework against or B.) Bad (or at best decent) teams on your circuit, you don't want your first framework 2NR against a team good enough to get a bid.

Naman Gupta where are you

The Polar Oceans Fleet Aff released by HSS has a bioprospecting advantage--Could be useful

Dear Snarkosaurus,

 

I will never feel ashamed. I'll take my pride over any politics disad. And I'll take my lack of deficit spending over any "democrats" that will may come my wai.

Falcon Lord is that you?

Why'd I get kicked from the dropbox?

My team plans on doing the same, when does it normally come out?

On Thursdays

Is it encouraged/frowned upon to read new external impacts in the block for a disad read in the 1NC?

Slow debate puts me to sleep

Xylum is working on a Pirates aff--I don't know whether they'll put it out on openev. I don't know how to attach it to a reply so just PM me if you want it.

If they call for a RoB, PIK out of it bc RoB's are fascist 

Neg isn't that hard in arkansas, payton. But he is right when he says reading a small aff is very advantagous. Only Greg Warren votes on T :/. We ended up going for some counterplans near the end of the year. They worked out pretty well. Generic DA's were honestly the way to go the majority of the time. They were simple that most judges could grasp. Dip Cap was like our shit novice year.

What's the problem with notes on a laptop?

No idea. I have a friend at the 6 week UTNIF and she said to bring both, so I would just to be safe

Don't forget to bring paper to take notes on--lab leaders may/may not let you take notes on your laptop so it'd be best to bring paper just in case

Thanks to everyone above! So in the case of normalize trade relations, it would be legit to just lift the embargo and then use multilat as an adv. but what of there is no X group says they'll cooperate post-plan, just influence will be boosted

The way Madi and Ragul framed that argument in our semis round was that doing the aff boosted US influence in existing multilateral organizations (UN). The aff itself didn't have any evidence saying country X would offer co-op, but rather US would be perceived in a better light allowing for more effective multilateral cooperation. 

So I've been watching and (trying) flowing college rounds and I'm having a hard time flowing theory. I can get tags and stuff down without a problem, but when they get to Condo my flow just disappears. I usually can't get all of the standards down and I don't know where to put the theory on the flow, whether it be on the CP, K flow or on a separate piece of paper. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'll be there!

Fairness isn't arbitrary? The judge has the ability to set a precedence as to what is/isn't fair and establish a bright line. The other team saying that fairness is arbitrary is the impact of the judge not setting a precedent.

1NC should take all off and most of case. The neg block should be compromised of extrapolation of the 1NC's arguments. (2N can have new case arguments)

Is it fiated? Are they actually opening it or just breaking down the border in the mind?

They're actually opening it

It is really contingent on the aff- can you give a more specific basis?

 

Here are some common options

1) framework- want them to defend a policy not an advocacy

 

2) t- maybe their kritik of tje topicnis not in tje least big pertinent to the rez

 

3) kritik it

A) cap k- popular- plan helps cap/ affects capital and that is bad

B] schmitt k- a team on my circuit likes to run this- the aff solves enmity and enmity is good

- the more specific to the aff the better

 

 

The best option is to either go hard right or hard left

I think a couple of teams on the circuit are running K affs with the opening of US/Mexico border. The advantages are probably relating to race/gender

What are some effective neg strats against K affs? I don't really know how to answer them. Thanks!

Can someone explain the gist of the Capitalism Kritik/How to run it as neg? Thanks!
