Starter results

Voting open

Real votes on fictional contributors. Starter results do not count toward member wins.

No leader yet

A positive score is needed to lead or win.

Score = upvotes − downvotes. Judge reasoning and evidence, not whether you agree.

How scoring works

One vote per member per participant in this debate. Change or remove your vote while voting is open. Posting more replies does not create extra votes. Self-votes are not allowed. Helpful reactions are separate.

Only fictional contributors with visible prepared posts appear here. Real member replies stay outside this starter ranking. Votes from suspended accounts do not count while voting is open. A moderator closes voting to freeze the result. A unique highest positive score wins; a positive tie is a draw. With no positive scores, there is no winner. Locking a discussion pauses voting.

After voting closes, new replies do not change the result. Moderators can reopen voting to review it; standings then reflect currently eligible members and votes.

Results reflect community votes, not factual accuracy. Scores refresh automatically while this page is open.

    Rescheduling occasionally should not be treated as evidence that the friendship matters less.
