The users known as Ragnar_Rahl, PoeJoe, beem0r and s0m31john ought to play the next mafia game

Gladly. =========================================================================== #1. Leethal ought to play because he has claimed he wishes to play ============================================================================ First, in regards to leethal, we must note that he has already suggested the game sounds fun and that he wishes to be counted in . . . as we can see in the comment section(1). Thus, I argue that he ought to play based on the value of hedonism (though not to be taken heavily) He ought to do anything that enables him to pursue self-pleasure while using this website. ============================================================================ #2. None of the aforementioned users have participated in a debate.com mafia game, thus should give it try ============================================================================ To quote a famous line from an equally famous individual, "You never know until you try." Although it's arguable that these users may have been able to observe the three games which have already taken place on this website, none of them have actually ever participated. Through participating in the game, they'd have a better idea of whether or not it was something which could entertain them. The best part about this line of thought is that there is nothing to lose. If any one of them didn't like the game as they were playing it, they could simply drop and allow other members who may be interested to take their places. Granted that other members often appear midgames interested in playing, they would easily be replaced even if all five of them wished to quit. ============================================================================ #3. Mafia helps increase website activity, hence serves to benefit debate.orgs welfare ============================================================================ If we are to take note of the Miscellaneous forum on this website, we should note that there have been 7309 posts contributed in the section. Of these post, 2,858 are solely made up on the three mafia games which have taken place on this site (the first one being relatively short due to being a newbie version and the third one with a large amount of the players being killed of quickly due to the style the game was set up in). If we crunch the numbers, that's 40% of the miscellaneous forum right there. To add, if we consider all of the posts on the forum, mafia makes up 12% of the posts made(2,858/22,266). All of this from merely 3 games. We must note that this doesn't even take into consideration the amount of website hits produced, but they are surely far greater than the amount of posts. Now, I've pointed out this statistic for one very good reason: Debate.com is a rut at the moment. The site's own webmaster has confirmed that he shall not be able to do much about the many website problems, until there are more users. For you see, the more users, the more website participation. The more website participation . . . the more hits produced. And the more hits produced, the higher website ad revenue is. The webmaster's claims can be confirmed below .(2) Moderator: "You guys and your conspiracy theories crack me up...LOL. Here's the reason for the change. This website doesn't make any money...maybe about $5/day. Yeehah! As such, it doesn't make good business sense to keep paying big bucks every month to lease the domain Debate.com. Instead, we purchased Debate.org, and now this site can stay up forever. You still won't get better customer support (sorry), but at least this site will still be up and running." If we are to take into account that it is easy to conclude that Ragnar_Rahl, PoeJoe, beem0r and s0m31john are highly interested in this website as evident by their high account activity which can be confirmed by their number of debates and/or forum posts (especially PoeJoe, my very opponent, considering that he created a website devoted this one[3]), then we can reasonable conclude that they are interested in this website's welfare. Seeing as how mafia is empirically proven as being beneficial to debate.com's welfare, it would only make sense that the following users lend a helping hand. And once again, they would be lending a helping hand to their own convenience and entertainment. To add: I'd like to point out that each of these users could be recognized as debate.org top dogs due to their activity. Essentially, they could be considered celebrities here. What better way to get more people to participate in mafia games (hence benefit debate.org's welfare) than for this site's very celebrities to be playing as well? ============================================================================ Conclusion ============================================================================ For a brief overview of this round, the resolution ought to be affirmed based on the fact that leethal himself has admitted interest in the game, that the users mentioned in the resolution would have allow themselves an engaging opportunity at which they have nothing to lose and plenty to gain and that participating in a mafia game which contribute to debate.org's welfare (which all of them are evidently shown to be interested in. And that'll do ii for now. SOURCES: (1): http://www.debate.org... (2): http://www.debate.org... (3): http://debatefans.com...
