How to Play
Starting Point
- All players begin in Dimension 1. Topics must be debated in the relevant sections of the site forums; not here. This space is for polls and poll discussions. (This setup may change depending on feedback). When you decide to play this game, your challenge should be formatted as: "I challenge [Opponent] to a [Tier] tier debate on [Topic]. [Reference to the Debate Matrix]."
Dimensions and Tiers:
- Each Dimension has three tiers: Green (Basic), Blue (Intermediate), Red (Advanced).
- Players can choose any tier within their dimension, but progression to higher tiers within the same dimension offers more prestige.
Ascending Levels:
- Win a debate in any tier to advance to the next dimension.
- Winners from each previous dimension compete with each other in any tier to level up to dimension 8.
- In dimension 9, all winners from the previous dimension must compete in the advanced tier. Rankings are determined by vote counts.
Debate Challenges:
- Players can either challenge or be challenged.
- Debates occur within the same Tier and Dimension.
- Topics are chosen randomly or by choice.
Voting Mechanism:
- Everyone can vote on debates. For structured voting, out of 10 points: 4 for quality, 3 for sources, and 3 for presentation.
- Ties result in a rematch with a new topic.
Conduct Rules:
- Personal attacks result in downvoting and level freeze.
- Report harassment to moderators.
Hall of Fame:
- The first to reach the 10th Dimension is the ultimate winner, but there will also be recognition for the top 3 or top 5 participants. Another game will soon follow, giving other members a chance to win.
