There Should be a Greater Effort by the DDO Community to Vote on Finished Debates

Pro contradicts their own resolution in round 1 when they state that rather than greater effort, per person, they merely want greater number of people bearing the responsibility of putting in the same amount of effort as is currently being put in. All in all, the current amount of effort being put in should really be lowered to zero votes. I will now display to you a quote by the great Karl Marx about this very resolution: "Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you"re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through." [1] There is nothing more beautiful than a place where everyone around you just wants to make you happy, that is the beauty of a family and community as DDO should strive to have. A place where no one is a loser, where there is no number two to a number one. In the words of the great Chairman Mao Tse Tung (aka Mao Zedung) himself "War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes." This is a beautiful quote by a fantastic politician and political philosopher. Rather than solving disputes through the score of a vote, we should be putting our effort into arming ourselves to overcome the enemy. Debating should be used to recruit people to our armies, not just for the sake of some pointless score! As the great Gandhi once remarked "an eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind."[3] and as Karl Marx says, "Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity." so we must fight each other, eye for eye, to become so blind that we consciously can see only what is necessary! Why waste effort on voting when we can use debating to instigate war? Aside from the fact that voting is such a suboptimal alternative to the inevitable way that humanity always and and always will resolve conflict, the issue of 'greater effort' itself being put in is a big issue. If you try too hard at something it can over stress you, even get you anxious and depressed.[5] Who would want such suffering for DDO's already hard-working voting community with proponents such as Ragnar, Blade-of-Truth, Lannan13 and 9spaceking? DDO already has people putting their blood sweat and tears into the art of voting and you are so ungrateful, so impetuously vile a person that you demand more of them? There is something about people who are never satisfied that really disgusts me, and I'm sure the majority of humanity. DDO has been running since the summer of 2007[6] and all you can do is say that seven and a half years worth of blossoming and blooming are not enough to satisfy your selfish standard of what you consider sufficient voting quantity? You really debate for the size of a score? Are the scores on your debates not compensating enough for something else? Deary me, Pro, if you're that insecure about how hairy your armpits are just shave them! You say you think it will benefit everyone if we ensure more votes occur on finished debates. Are you mathematically challenged? If more people vote on a debate, the probability of it tying severely reduces, thus it follows that the resultant proportion of tied debate son this site will rapidly deplete. If the proportion of tied debates is depleting can guess what's increasing? The amount of losers on this website! Oh you didn't think of that did you? What about their poor Elo scores? On this website you get 2000 Elo after your first debate is fully completed (unless it didn't end in a tie). Losers will, over time, inevitably feel emotionally hurt and cry and that is so cruel. Winners will suffer from egomania and overdose on happiness and that is going to encourage mental illness on both ends of the spectrum. As I already said, we should be using our efforts to rally up troops and kill each other so that the losers do not suffer form their loss as they are too dead to care. I eagerly await your response, Pro, and wish you all the best in this debate. <3 Let's settle this by a gallant war unless you are willing to concede before the end.
