I think we 100% need a debate thread lol, regarding what the both of you have said about the threads, I highly agree that opinions on specific moves and such should be sectioned and organized optimally.
However I consider the concept of a 100% open discussion to be necessary aswell. You can't really talk about the overall balance of all aspects of pk in the thread of a single move. Just doesn't make sense. White and I have a doc for concepts, we have TONS of material. We wouldn't have that if we didnt have a conglomerative idea board. Debate is similar to brainstorming in that, a multitude of concepts/ideas are thrown together, the difference being the elimination process which is what makes debate superior. The bad ideas are improved or scrapped, the good ones are further improved or just pushed forward in concept. But yeah I say this sort of thing is necessary for proper development
