I should be the dictator of DDO

This debate is not about HOW I should take power. Its about IF I should take power. Well this is a point of disagreement then which I think is central to the debate. You are attempting to sidestep the most obvious problem with your resolution and ‘dictate’ how I argue against your position. Your debate resolution is, “I should be dictator of DDO.” Should indicates that you are obligated to perform an action and that the events are probable and desirable [5]. A probable plan of action is required. In your explanation you state that you are planning to overthrow the DDO gov’t and establish a dictatorship. You emphasize that my job is to convince you that you should not put your plan into action. Since you have no plan beyond, “overthrow DDO gov’t,” your plan is unlikely to succeed and you shouldn’t try it. With limited power and no plan you’d be crushed. You have not established that a dictator is necessary, likely or desirable. No one should feel obligated to do this. Pro trolls/spams Fair enough. I’ll concede for now that it is debatable whether you spam or troll yourself in a negative way. If you would like to clarify what you mean by spamming and trolling some definitions would help. Arguably you do engage in troll debates and post multiple similar debates. [7]. “One example of a president of DDO who was a bully and a troll is Imabench.” Imabench is not a president and you have not established that he is a bully or that trolling is always a bad thing. There are interesting trolls that entertain the site and there are annoying trolls that just waste your time. This debate is about IF I should seize power, not HOW I should seize power. So you say. If it is not possible or desirable for you to seize power then you shouldn’t attempt it, my points stand. “That forum you showed to support this is barely a page long.” Fair enough, and still his claim is more credibility than yours because of his DDO reputation and Emperor is comparable to dictator since both vie for absolute power over government. You concede you are inexperienced so why do you think you are a likely candidate for dictator. You have still not established that a dictator is even desirable or how you could accomplish anything. “Why are you so interested in my plan? What, so you can report my revolution before it even begins?” You clearly asked Con to advise if you should continue with your plan. Since you have no measurable power or leverage to overthrow the DDO government you should not continue with your plan. “I'm going to DDO.” Great, so explain what you mean and provide some evidence. Why do you think the current DDO president is a drunk and how is the current power structure cruel? “The point is that people believe that a dictator is more capable of solving DDO's problems than a president.” Ok, so you admit the poll was not a vote for you as you claimed round 1 speaking to your credibility as a potential dictator. You said, “Recent polls have shown that the vast majority of DDO citizens support my coming to power.” Your poll topic, “Which of the following Cold War/post-WWII leaders do you think would have had the best idea on how to deal with these vermin?” was flawed and biased. First, your poll makes two assumptions that force any voters to acknowledge that trolling/spamming is a real problem that must be dealt with and that a dictator is the solution. The poll itself assumes that your ‘point’ is true. Second, only 20 voters weighed in while there are ~112,000 DDO members [6]. You are completely inaccurate to suggest that 0.00017% represent a site majority to your biased poll. “Both of those votes are invalid.” The point is your first attempt to seize any kind of power was a debate topic aimed at banning a member you find to be an offensive ‘troll’ and ended in a failed debate. This speaks to the credibility of your bid for power. “Who decided that more than 10 debates is spamming? ….Why not 9 or 11?” I would guess this was a juggle or mod decision. Spamming 10 debates in 24 hours is ridiculous. If you would like to support a higher number go for it. Again you have no influence with Juggle or any Mods so how would you go about changing this anyways? Con largely exaggerated the number of people who hate me and consider my a troll. http://www.debate.org... The 55% majority rate you 4-6/10. I don’t see that this is a strong showing for a potential dictatorship and is probably related to your target interest group. Not everyone loves WWII discussions, which appears to be your main interest on this site [7]. “Stalinmobile was victorious in this race.” http://www.debate.org... I don’t see how this adds to your resolution “This last poll shows how much I care about the opinions of DDO users…. also care about the opinions of spammers and trolls.” http://www.debate.org... If this were true you would not forcibly overthrow a democratically elected government. “Con fails to realize that I only want to purge the spammers and trolls who can no longer be helped in any way.” First you say this immediately after saying that you care about Troll and Spammer opinions. This is also simply an assertion. The only thing we know for sure is that you want to seize absolute power over DDO. In that position you would not be held to any promises you make ahead of time. - Pro has tried to avoid the key issues of this debate. In order to evaluate whether he can seize power Pro needs to demonstrate that this is an obligation, probable and desirable first. Then he can establish that he is the man for the job, which he has not been able to do. [5] http://www.merriam-webster.com... [6] http://www.debate.org... [7] http://www.debate.org...
