My Application Form is good enough to make me pass the test to join IDS.

Dear Acetraveler, Below please find our organization's final review of your qualifications: 1.Examples of experience in real time debate using verbal exchanges: 0 a.Your voice messages provided to us are only line by line recitations of your previous submissions. b.Although you *attended* the World Civic Youth Forum for 2009, you admitted that you did not participate. While this speaks well of your commitment, it says little for your capabilities. Competence, not commitment, was the focus of my last reply to you. c.Text communications are not the same as real-time verbal exchanges that take place in ordinary debates. Real time debates require a substantial amount of fluency in the language with which you wish to debate. There is no such thing as the "Backspace" key when you are speaking. 2.Completed forms: 0 (I told you to fill this in with place-holder information!) a.In round two I suggested that you should fill in your application with a recognizable alias (for example, your username) to identify the application. b.You did not do this. c.As you are seeking to prove your qualifications to me, especially your qualifications in understanding English, you really should have corrected this. We want a team player, and team players have to listen when the coach, or in this case, the president, speaks. d.Admittedly, I did not demand it of you. I only said it was what you should have done. However, when seeking to impress a third party, it is important to listen to and respond positively to that party's actions. You are selling yourself to IDS so remember the first rule of salesmanship: know your audience. 3.[OOC] Missing additional information: Lots a."I don't have to emphasize my refutation related to (1), (3), (4), (6) because my 'cross-examination' by using 'member comments' was able to express my points." b.Incorrect. At the beginning of the debate you stated that you wanted help with your application and interview process. c.Therefore, I took the role of IDS president, and treated the first round as submission of your application to me, using the same arguments, less one, that IDS used against you. d.Nowhere did you state that you would allow posting responses in the comment section. e.Moreover, as this debate is essentially a mock admissions process, you should have presented any and all arguments to me in the debate proper. You did not. Therefore, I have treated it as though I never received your full response. f.You essentially agreed to this format with your performance, where you greeted me as IDS president. As you said: "If you are a president of IDS, and you don't like this application form, what makes bother you? You can tell me 'the bothers'." You made this comment to me before the debate started, and I played along. You did not. 4.(OOC) Conduct a.I agreed to help someone with his English language debating skills while online. That can only be good conduct. :) b.I adopted the persona of the IDS president throughout this debate, making him as nasty as possible to test acetraveler's ability to interview well. c.At various times, acetraveler basically told me he knew more than me, in my persona as President, without qualifying it to make it acceptable for interview purposes. d.Therefore, even though I was admittedly an awful human being in this debate, the nature of the debate demanded that I use my position to challenge acetraveler's temper while he used his to subdue mine. I have met my burden. ;) 5.Friends is still unacceptable a.Also, please note that I have delivered some videos to you illustrating the manner in which the characters on Friends speak. Please compare these videos to those demonstrating professional English language acquisition programs. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... b.After watching the videos, please explain why you did not use such videos as your learning tools when such videos would clearly be better than "Friends" when seeking to learn proper English. In conclusion, I will keep your application on record. Perhaps, pending a future review, it will be acceptable to us. Sincerely, Lexicaholic, IDS President [In short: treating the debate like an interview and application process, determine whether or not I, being the interviewer, would be likely to accept acetraveler at the end of the debate.]
