Master Debater is a video debate platform. Argue your case on camera, and the crowd decides who won.
Every day there's one prompt. Pick a side, FOR or AGAINST, and record your take on camera. Takes are ranked within each side by the votes they get, and the day closes at midnight Eastern.
Debate one person, turn by turn, at your own pace. Each debate has three phases: Opening, Rebuttal and Closing. Neither of you can see the other's turn until both are in, so nobody gets to answer first.
Post a live challenge and debate face to face when someone takes it. It's a direct video call between the two of you, and nobody else watches while it happens. You each record your own side, and the recordings go up for the crowd afterwards.
When both sides are in, voting opens for 48 hours. Voters score each debater from 1 to 10 on Logic, Evidence, Delivery and Rebuttal, and pick a winner.
Everything you do earns points: debating, voting and posting takes. The leaderboard ranks everyone by points.
What earns points, and how many.
1V1 DEBATES
โฐ๏ธ THE DAILY MOUNTAIN
Losing still earns points, and so does showing up. A debate with fewer than 3 votes, or a tie, isn't scored: no win or loss, and +10 to each side. A quiet day on the mountain (fewer than 3 votes in total) isn't ranked, and everyone who posted gets the +3 instead.
Keep it competitive. Keep it clean.
