admin: 8el won't be able to compete.

Dassault Papillon: Get him to tell me that

admin: He turned out to be Rational Madman.

See?

Dassault Papillon: Well get him to tell me that. Since he isn't telling me, I'm inclined to give his opponent a free win, but so far I've just got it on hearsay from you so I won't take action yet.

@That1User alerted me to a very important point: the emails sent neglected to make mention of the SIDE. I'm so sorry about that.

admin: I even posted a freakin' link...

Dassault Papillon: ... to the DDO forum. The place on the internet where the most shit is talked. Probably.

None of the topics are clear to me. Was there more description in the emails, because I can't access them at the moment

admin: The guy admitted it himself in that thread which I posted a link to, and as a result his account has been deactivated for perhaps two days.

NVM, I guess I'll just put my vote in for the last topic if zaradi agrees. It is the only one that makes sense to me.

admin: Either way, he cannot debate because he is banned from DDO

Dassault Papillon: Then I suppose he won't be able to post his selection. No harm done.

Blackflag: You need the email to post your selection.

admin: Shh, now people are going to try and infiltrate my email and sabotage the competition

Blackflag: Lol.

If you would put a description on the second and third topic than that would be helpful.

RXR.: I think all three topics are clear enough. If people need to do research to understand the topics I can sympathize, and otherwise they can just vote for the topic they understand best.

It's interesting - I personally would not have expected the first one to be the easiest. Originally we were going to word the first one as "net neutrality" but changed it for various reasons. It's a very complicated issue.

admin: I never recieved the email for this.
