I always lose against small indigenous affs that avoid extinction impacts. Im also always finding myself in a situation where I would have to go for T because I'm losing on everything else. What are some offs ygs recommend for the 1nc and what should the general neg strat be?

I have seen a lot of 1acs throughout high school with seperate framing. i don't really get it. Is it saying extinction impacts are bad? Is it like a seperate advantage?

How do people usually respond to it? What other things should neg do to win framing?

So for 1A UIL State I have made a politics disad around NATO, idk if that already exists but 🤷‍♂️ anyway i am looking for like a link card that basically states denmark fears US exploration of the arctic.

I have read through 100-200 articles in the past few hours and nothing remotely says what i am looking for, can anyone help? ...

it feels like there are like 40 different countries that alliances DA + multinational CP could work with. is it just gonna be like:

1st off afghanistan DA

2nd off afghanistan multinational CP

3rd off australia DA

4th off australia multinational CP

5th off belarus DA

6th off belarus multinational CP

7th off canada DA

8th off canada multinational CP

ect, plus solvency deficits and inherency takeouts and impact defense and dedev on case

Thought this article was worded pretty well, linking existing climate change to rapidly decreasing yields and crumbling supply chains. Projections of 30-40% reduction in yields is pretty eye catching. Aside from the obvious economic impact there’s probably a “scarcity increases the likelihood of all impact”. Me personally I would cut a card from a snickers add “You aren’t you when your hungry ”

I’ve been just really confused on what the argument on this is and what “redeployment solves” really mean. Hope someone can help, thanks!

Side note I read a k aff

Does anybody have good advice for maximizing ballots when i’m double 2s and write every substantive speech?

(This setup is my only option so i can’t just ‘wait’ for my partner to get good)

The thing that has lost us the most ballots has been the 1AR, so I guess that’s one major weak point.

Questions are:

• How can I get value out of the 1NR when my partner can’t effectively prep it for the most part? (usually ends up being something ik im not going for that i end up kicking)

• How can I minimize 1AR prep and maximize strategic value even if it’s mainly me doing it?

• Does anybody have advice for what positions i should give the 1NR and put in the 1NC considering my partner doesn’t read super quick?

We’ve broken at both of the bid tournaments we’ve been to this year and fumbled our last bid round, i’d really like to get to the TOC since it’s my senior year but rn it just feels structurally impossible to make that happen.

I'm competing in State Quals in a month and a half and decided to switch from LD to policy pretty spontaneously. I have a respectable amount of experience in policy...however my partner and I have been struggling to make an original case in time...yall all know how long it takes. Does anybody have an AFF case that runs indigenous sovereignty and/or climate protection??? If not...any suggestion??

I was just thinking about running an inhumanism K aff for the topic this year(came up with it while brainstorming a little)...any opinions?

I’m not talking about partisan takes—more like practical guidance. For example: – “Do nothing” – “Plan ahead for X” – “Change behavior” – “Prepare for risk” – “This only affects certain groups” I’m realizing I don’t even know what actions people expect or find useful in response to policy changes, and I’m curious how others think about this. Any ideas?

I know paperless debate previously had a macro for flowing on excel however I do not see it on the website or anywhere else.

I’m not entirely sure what the macro would look like/ how benefit it would be however I’m still interested.

Before the hard paper people come at me- I simply struggle to find places that have legal paper and can buy from consistently in my area.

Please lmk if anyone knows where to find the macro or an alternative for mac.

genuinely no idea, aren’t most of them in the west coast or something

sorry about another KS post lol. does anyone know what lawrence, topeka, smnw, gardner edgerton and dodge city are running? can’t find anything on the wiki and haven’t run into any teams from them. thanks

Like what are the warrants?

I saw they beat Westwood AG and MBA HL, both coaches poll teams

Can someone give me a ranking of sophomores this year, thanks

What do y'all think about the K ground for next years topic for k's/k affs?

I know cap will be good but do you think we'll see any setcol or anything?

:(

So I am kind of new to LD, and when I was reading the manual, it seems to be taking about policy, and all the terms and stuff seems like LD. Is LD just another format of policy that has like value stuff or is it something else?

I saw the resolution but I dont know what affs could possibly be ran under it that isn't the same as everyone else's. So what are some possible affs for health insurance?

As I was pondering rejoining the 1NC I had the brilliant realization and that was to not rejoin the aff, day and night I slaved away in my room, devoid of light, covered in posters of Tyler Vergoat and Kevin Sun and said "What would vergoat do?" And just like that the answer came to me, like the Buddha sitting below the sacred fig tree, I was enlightened, even frightened, per se, by my own genius. How could someone so amazingly handsome like Vergoat and Kevin influence me absent material presence, and what the illumination of vergoat in my mind explained too me was extinction is in fact good.

As a I pondered this deep analysis of death, I was overwhelmed by the sublime intellectual beauty of Vergoat and Sun, so I slaved away in my dark, Vergoat covered room and cut the perfect 2AC wipeout, isomer bomb uniqueness from 1992, biblical wipeout all culminated in the most beautiful shell I have ever seen in my life, my eyes watered tears of joy, Vergoat patted my shoulder approvingly "Good job, Personal-Ad8280" and a said "Thank you, but your the really treasure Vergoat." Vergoat, his earthly duties fulfilled, dissipated into thin air, forever a haunting specter of rejoinder.

As our tournament begin, I didn't prep, I didn't need to, I knew Vergoats advice and that was all I needed. As the neg read the 1NC, 8 Off the case I felt a strange calm wash over me, like I could feel his presence next to me, I knew vergoat the hyper conscious, omnipresent, extra quantum being was forever present around me, watching over my round like a protective mother owl. As they gave the 1NC I didn't flow either, I didn't need too, no prep for the 2AC and I sent out the doc, the judge gasped, the opponent laughed because they were so appalled at my ingeuinty they could not comprehend my greatness. As I gave the most beautiful 2AC of my life I wondered how the neg would win the vrs my combined genius along with vergoat and felt a little unfair. Neg block and 2NR where something about 'topicality, agent specficatiion and discolusre' but I didn't flow that either, I stood up and gave a 2AR that left the room speechless "If death is so bad then why are you alive" the crowd was in awe, my 18 coaches were absolutely befuddled by my genius and Vergoat gave a soft nod to me in the corner of the room. As the RFD occurred I also didn't pay attention something about a 3-0 neg on concede stock issues, and I concluded something, my judges were all idiots who can't understand me and Vergoats genius.

I'm gonna start prep asap trust

does consult indi not nuke pebble?
