    Default Helios annnouncement: Opinionated debaters wanted.

    Greetings Mudpitters!
    Due to the expansion of the Helios, I am looking for intelligent members with well formed views who are able to express their views in a clear matter. I shall be needing members from both sides of a particular argument for each debate. I will give the pair a question, which they will answer in a clear and concise way. Their answers will be posted conjunctively in the Helios, where their views will be highlighted to the people of TWC.

    If it is not perhaps too much trouble, could a mod sticky this perhaps?

    Meh, I would apply if I wasn't too lazy to type up anything long and meaningful.

    I have over 900 posts, and none of them have been long and meaningful (except for 5-10 in Vestigia Vetustatis), so maybe its time I started to write something that is actually worth writing.





    Nah, I think I'll pass for now.

    If the powers that be will have me, I would like to sign up.
    Not quite sure where I'll be, if I have to fill out a 'where do you stand on the political spectrum' question, but hey, maybe this can be my chance to find out. :tooth:

    I'll consider reconsidering, but I would like to know generally what would we be debating about (I assume, it would be politically related, but I wan't a slightly more specific idea).

    I'd give it a go, depending on the subject of the debate obviously.
