The debate shall be ON for 30 minutes.

We will select a debate master from among the members or some special guest to co-ordinate the entire debate event.

Prize: The winner shall be announced by the co-ordinator and shall receive Rs. 500 Gift Voucher.

😁 What do you think about that?

Would it be in CE Chat as before or forum threads?

I think we will go with the threads i.e. normal discussions. Let us see how it turns out this weekend. And then we will think of other options.

Will the chat application be brought back for that? Or shall threads be the battling grounds?

Edit: Oops! My broswer didn't update the thread! 😁

#-Link-Snipped-# Please re-consider to bring back real time chat for debates, threads are nice but not suitable for online debates

Just a suggestion

I seriously suggest it to keep after 3 PM, may be between 4 PM to 5 PM, that would be the best suited for most of us I guess.

I will be in.

Just my two cents...Rather then debate, should we term it as Group Discussion (GD)?

So it's been 3 busy weeks, but we are now all used to the redesign and June is here! So, let's start again with the competition.

I am tagging #-Link-Snipped-# to volunteer in co-ordinating the competition.
I'll discuss with her about a suitable topic and she will be responsible for conducting the debate contest on 15th of June.

I am thinking we will extend the time of debate from 1 hour to - 2 or 3 hours. This gives the participants more space to come up with good counter points.

We shall disclose the timings in the notice soon.

As asked by many of the CEan's, this Sunday we are going to have the debate for prolonged session... for 90 minute.

I am sure that your participation is going to make this an awesome debate session.

Stay Tuned...

#-Link-Snipped-# Should we go for 2 hours slot? 7:00 TO 9:00 PM.

I think that will help us get more people on board.

#-Link-Snipped-# Please put up a notice for the same.
Rajni Jain

@rajni-E46Rlm • Jul 1, 2014

We can certainly do that!
What about taking a poll opinion for the preferred time slot and duration?

There's a mixed bag of opinions. Anyhow, when it comes to timing, a clear consensus is rarely achieved.

Let us go with 7 - 9 pm slot for this time and figure out as we go ahead.

Like the last time #-Link-Snipped-# will be the co-ordinator of the competition.
Let's have a very fiery debate this time! 😀
Rajni Jain

@rajni-E46Rlm • Jul 26, 2014

Last two debates seen a little less participation, probably we all were busy in enjoying the relaxed dinner on Sunday evening. This time we will be moving the debate to Weekday. What about having Debate on Wednesday @ 8:00 PM ???

Let us know what do you think about it day and time;

Believe me, the next planned debate would be super Awesome and be ensured, that everyone gonna enjoy that a lot !!

I think time and day is affecting participant too much so I suggest we also need to get suggestion from CEans and then we will choose the best suitable time. Or let us pick up 4-5 slots and then we make some poll and let CEans choose the best one.

I think SATURDAY Eve,(6:00 PM Onwards) would be the suitable time for everyone.
