Your EvC Debate Dream Team - Fantasy Debating

I seem to be a bit behind in responding to the original idea of this thread, but I'm going to do it anyway.My Dream Team would include Bluejay, Bluejay, Bluejay and Bluejay (since, apparently, nobody else wants me on their team).

Hi, CS. Thanks!----- The way I see it, the team should include a few types of people:

1. Clever, tenacious, brief posters who keep the discussion going, make it fun and have a knack for getting at the core issues of the debate (Dr Adequate, Ringo, Wounded King, you, etc.). These posters seem to be getting most of the nominations on this thread.
   ​
2. Patient people who are good at understanding the opposition and adapting their explanations to the opposition as best as possible (e.g. Percy, Modulous, Stile, etc.).
   ​
3. At least one thorough, detail-oriented poster who responds to a lot of the opposition's side points, tries to clarify and spends a lot of time on background reading and exposition (e.g., RAZD, Aaron, me).
   ​
4. Somebody who puts in an occasional, well thought-out, mid-length post (somewhere between 1 and 3, like Phage or Rahvin).

Hi, Straggler. In middle school (~12 years old), I made the D-team in basketball (seriously), but I actually scored my only two points of the season while filling in on an ad hoc C-team when we played a school without a D-team.----- Praise the Lord for affirmative action, I guess. Now to go gloat at Ringo via PM*. *This is a joke: I am not actually going to do this.
