Alright, there's no easy way to say this, especially since I transferred from DebateArt after it was taken down... but I kind of wanted to reveal it one way or another.


...I am the user "Undefeatable". It started off as an experiment, a way to see how much I could really do. I wanted to see how many debates I could win by careful research and almost always instigating the debate, rather than noob-sniping. A reverse Oromagi or Ragnar, if you will. It was pretty nice getting to know each side of a topic and carefully writing out the rounds using strong expert topic. I also had the rule that I was not allowed to concede a debate - some forfeits were due to bad timing, but otherwise I couldn't back off on any topic.


After the "Systemic Racism" debates, I realized I still didn't quite understand the rhetorical nitpicks or the semantic arguments. Also, it didn't matter that my username was 'Undefeatable', I still struggled in the entertainment and more niche topics, not to mention losing to rational madman in Comp Sci, my expertise.


Overall, I'm a little embarrassed I still lost a significant amount of debates, but I'm happy to have a majority win record account instead of a majority loss. (Fun Fact: My main account gugigor has a 35% win rate, which is actually Undefeatable's loss rate, so I basically inverted my win/loss ratio) I found it funny in the video chat that Mister Chris was asking Whiteflame what he thought of "Undefeatable" while I was sitting right there trying to keep a poker face. It was a good run yall.


I might continue Undefeatable-style debates here and there with this account, since it's a fresh start, just to keep everyone off their toes. So, what did you guys think? Was "Undefeatable" a significantly stronger debater than me? Or was it kind of obvious if you read over the research and the arguments?

The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.

It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

I would suggest that some debates must clearly be won and some debates must clearly be lost, and in between there are a raft of debates that are whimsically decided...Whimsically decided for a variety of reasons, including favouritism, subject bias, and political and religious motivation.


Notwithstanding that moderators are easily swayed and also prone to their own whimsical decisions.


None of this is intended to be critical, but is merely an observational conclusion that in my opinion reflects the inevitable nature of the exercise and it's participants.

@9spaceking

you probably put a lot more effort into “undefeatable” than “gugigor”


38-18 isn’t bad
