What is moggle

Ranked debate,
decided in minutes

moggle is a ranked 1v1 debate arena. You're matched with an opponent, handed a motion and a side, and given a few minutes to argue it on camera. An AI judge scores the exchange argument-by-argument and moves your rank. No panels, no waiting, and a result you can actually read.

The idea

Argument as a sport

Most places you argue online reward volume and heat. moggle rewards the argument. Two debaters get the same motion and opposite sides, speak in a fixed format, and a judge decides who made the stronger case, then says exactly why.

You don't pick the easy side. Sides are assigned, so winning is about how well you build a case on demand, not which opinion you already hold.

One motion. Two debaters. Six speeches. One winner, and a scorecard that shows exactly where every point came from.

The loop

A match, end to end

1
Match & set up
Queue up and get paired by rating. The motion and sides are locked in. Sides are assigned, not chosen.
2
Prep
A short, timed window to plan your case before the clock starts running.
3
Six speeches
Three rounds (opening, rebuttal, closing), alternating between you and your opponent. While you speak, their mic is muted so nothing steps on your time.
4
Judging
When the last speech ends, the AI judge reads the whole exchange once and builds the result.
5
Verdict
A 0 to 100 scoreline, why the winner won, one thing to fix next time, and your rating change.

The format

Every match is the same shape

A match is six fixed slots. The structure never changes, so the only variable is how well you argue.

Slot	Phase	Side
1	Opening	FOR
2	Opening	AGAINST
3	Rebuttal	FOR
4	Rebuttal	AGAINST
5	Closing	AGAINST
6	Closing	FOR

Assigned sides

You argue the side you're given

When the match starts you might be defending a position you'd normally argue against. That's the point. The skill moggle measures is building the strongest honest version of a case under time pressure. Steelmanning, not cherry-picking.

It also keeps things fair: because neither side chose their position, the win comes down to argument quality, and the judge never sees who's who.

The verdict

You get more than a number

Every match ends with a full breakdown, not just a scoreline:

The scoreline

Each side's share of total impact, normalized to 100, like 75-25.

Why you won or lost

Plain-language reasoning from the judge on what carried the debate.

Next time

One concrete thing to fix: feedback you can take into your next match.

The impact ledger

Every point traced back to a specific argument, plus a momentum chart of how the debate moved.
