Info slide: Your name is David, and you live on a space shuttle. To cope with the extended nature (no end date given) of your mission, you utilize advanced technology that enables your consciousness to be transmitted back to Earth, where you experience life through a lifelike android avatar. Your avatar is a perfect replica of your human body. Your avatar becomes faulty and breaks, meaning you cannot return to the real world. You are stuck in space, with no one to talk to but your space partner, Cliff. Cliff’s avatar works perfectly. You know that Cliff is a morally corrupt person, bad father and terrible husband. The only way for you to return to earth is to eject Cliff’s physical body into space in a capsule and use his avatar. Cliff would then be floating in space in a capsule. You would then be transported to Cliff’s house, life and family. Cliff’s family would not know initially that the person in the Avatar was you (David) and not Cliff. Motion: This house, as David, would eject Cliff into space. |

Info slide: Parasocial relationships are one-sided connections where an individual forms a strong emotional attachment to a public figure, such as a celebrity, without the other person being aware of their existence. These bonds are typically developed through media consumption, such as watching television shows or following social media accounts. Motion: This house supports parasocial relationships between high schoolers and celebrities. |

That we should ban zoos. |
^ GPS Round 2 motions. Some absolutely great motions. Apparently some people are upset about the lack of advance notice re different motion types - probably a fair criticism IMO, but given they continue to pop up across competitions any school which hasn't gotten the message after tonight only has themselves to blame going forward.
Reportedly Joeys beat Grammar in a very close one, and Shore against View in a similarly close debate. Glad to see the competition isn't boring this year. Shore on 2, Grammar and Joeys on 1, Scots and High presumably on 2 - things still remain very, very live.
