So the other day I saw a few bloggers on here have a minor conversation about what the best franchise of the seventh generation was, and it got me thinking: why don't we really debate it? So I decided to come up with a feature to do just that.
We'll have one debate per month, with no limit on how long it really perpetuates itself outside of a monthly confine. At the start of the month, I'll take signups and present the topic. Then as people sign up, we'll have them go into teams. We'll also take signups for three judges. The judges will be there to observe and comment on the debate as it happens, and at the end of the month each judge will make their case for which side won the debate and why. Whichever side the judges give the most votes to will have won the debate, and the winners will be kept track of in a section of each month's post.
Since this is a gaming blog, the vast majority of the questions we'll have will be gaming related. We definitely will try to keep up with gaming news and be relevant as possible. The format of these blogs is a bit scattered because of the nature of blogs. Each side will need to make a post to present their own position, and drum up whatever support they can. Once each side has posted their point, a host blog will be put up linking both stances, and direct debate will be engaged in the comments section. Anyone is allowed to enter the direct debate, but only those signed up will count as winners when it comes to it. The judges will be the ones with the final say of who wins it, so it may not necessarily be the most popular opinion that wins. It certainly wouldn't hurt to be popular, but it won't seal the deal is all.
The first topic that I have in mind will be: Can Ouya and/or SteamBox really enter the console game successfully in the 8th generation? With five consoles on the market this time around, which one do you think will have the best rookie cycle?
If you'd like to sign up, just comment below saying so and which side you'd like to be arguing for. There are three to choose from, listed below. As people sign up, I'll put up their names with their side so people can see what's still available. I will only allow 1-2 people per side, and we must have 2 judges besides me.
