This is going to be hilarious, looking forward to it!

How is power being measured here? In terms of global influence?

From what I've seen so far, it probably won't matter

This has got to be the first non-religious debate in months.

Their entries don't seem to be too large, a sentence or two and that's it. At least the fellow representing America used a graph and some stats.

I like this debate lol

**empr guy** · July 17, 2011, 03:13 PM

Is this serious? The debate seems to be pharaoh making completly made up claims, okmin debunks his claims, and then pharoah just puts out more unfounded claims. And that last post didn't even make sense.

so you think I'm going lose eh? well wait untile you see me in the curia that will prove my claims

**Akar** · July 17, 2011, 05:12 PM

Oh goodness, I'm shaking in fear.

**Lord Rahl** · July 17, 2011, 05:35 PM

What the hell does the CVRIA have to do with this? The only answer I can think of is...nothing.

**LuckyLewis** · July 17, 2011, 05:47 PM

Is this for real? China having the World's largest country? China having the most oil reserves? I mean, seriously?

**Akar** · July 17, 2011, 05:54 PM

This is hilarious.

**DAVIDE** · July 17, 2011, 05:57 PM

It's pretty stupid making a competition just reporting military numbers about the most powerful countries or things like these, without mentioning the present situation for both economies like the fact that China owns American debt for example, the consequences of this choice in the present and in the long-term future, reading the hypothesis made by famous international analysts about Chinese economy to grow up the 7,5% per year instead of the present 10%, while the US economy at least the 2,5% and the Chinese GDP overtaking the American one around the quota of 20 trillion dollars in 2019, or in 2022 in case of Americans growing up the 5% instead of 2,5%.

For now the debate level is pretty low

Pharoah grab your guards and sound your magicians!

**Jingo Eugene** · July 17, 2011, 08:45 PM

Okay. How many claims will Pharoh make without using

1. Sources
2. Common sense
3. Respect?

In 3 posts so far... We have 3 that match all of these categories.

What? Do you mean the mudpit? You don't even have permision to post in the curia, do you? And why would you need to go to a different place to prove something, why not just post something in the debat thread that actually has a source or has some common sense?
