Do you mean have debate thread thing and have set teams for and against something and they have to argue it out formally, with evidence and persuasive language and all those wonderful things we get shoved down our throat at school?
haha sure i reckon that would be awesome. With someone/people who then decide who wins, they get points for good use of grammar and well written arguments and such, points taken away for spelling/grammar/ramblings/etc. and these points, combined with the points earned from having the best arguments go towards a final amount of points for their house. could have it like the quidditch cup, but have it go over a term or semmester and which ever team has the most points at the end gets the 'trophy' and house points.
just a thought.
which grew scary fast. O.o

There's past Debate precident we can work from. And I think that would work.
Every House gets a team (Obviously we'll have to wait a little longer until more members come), and there are three judges - usually myself and the deputy and someone, but we may delegate it this time. I just was wondering what people thought.
Good idea, or nay?

Debate sounds fun. I love debates, though I am not sure if I will be able to participate being head of house...
I think the fanfic thing will be covered when we start up competitions, right Elle?

About that, go check out discussion in the Prefects Bathroom. I've started with competitions there. We should probably throw around a bit about debate too. It depends on how many staff members are willing to help out too.
Maybe I should make a poll and ask people if they want debate?

I'm guessing I need a password for that, which I don't have, hehe.

I, and I know others, would really love a suggestion board where we can reccommend other Fanfics we like. I think Mollie already made this suggestion, but I thought I would just put in my say too, since I really would love to see something like this come about.

You can do that in the Library. But would you rather a sub-board of it to do that?

Yeah, a sub-board would be good. Just to keep it more formal and not so cluttery, if you know what I mean.

Can't we have a third faction in the Light-Dark section called the Grey Side/Order/Faction? You know, for those of us too Dark to be Light wizards, and too Light to be Dark wizards, or just plain neutral?

I love the idea of starting up a debate team. I would have joined one at school, except mine was too small to bother with a debate team.
Marquis: What exactly would be the function of the middle section, though? The point of the light side is to "battle" evil, and the dark side is to... well, take over, I guess. It just seems like a third faction would pretty much consist of everyone else, and they wouldn't have much to do.

A debate team does sound nice. Heck, I live for it IRL. As for the Grey faction seeming useless, I concede it may look that way. But heck, I'm far too Dark to be acceptable to the Light, and far too Light to ever be a Dark Wizard. And frankly, I don't like either Viva la Grey Revolution!

No Grey, this was a big thing on the last sight. You are either Dark, Light or Neutral. Thems the brakes, babe. Sorry.
