If I had known there were role-playing elements to debate, me and my twelfth level fighter/mage would have checked out debate club back when I was in school. Looking at some of the other comments here, it looks like debate must have the rules complexity to be a proper RPG.

The part tabletop RPGs it models really well is where the players and GM spend three hours arguing about the rules applicable to a single sword swing.

Us debaters are jealous of your nicely-defined rulebooks.
