Noob questions

So I've decided to sample debating here (if I particularly like it, I'll ensure I lose early on to avoid a certain problem I had elsewhere).

As it progresses I will probably have more questions, but first of all what does No reply speeches mean?

Ragnar: Reply Speeches are a summary and conclusion round with half the characters and the order reversed

The other predominant feature here is cross examination, but you also have that turned off on your debate.

@admin - you think we could add more special rounds like Cx and Reply Speeches? They make debates a lot more inter.esting. I know we discussed the idea of a Public Forum variant transformed into a round, and I also brought up the idea of a in-debate coach feedback round.

Blackflag: Leave it for the feature request tracker.

Ragnar: As @Stag said, a reply speech comes after your main round and has a few unique features based on many RL formats such as World Schools.

admin: Sounds like an awesome feature. If I start any debates here, I will be very likely to use it (the one I'm in was randomly generated).
