Did we lose my opponent? Tomorrow's the deadline.
I've got my closing argument in mind either way.

Interesting, still no reply. Does he have all day today to make the reply before time is up?
Was finding the debate an interesting read. Ah well. :/

The deadlines are not that strict, though. It's just advised (or expected) that the debaters post within a particular time frame.
I'd like to allow some extra time if needed.

Judging by what he has written so far another 100 years wouldn't save his ass.

There's really nothing he can offer unless some archaeologist has in the last few days dug up some previously unknown evidence.
If he needs more time, fine but if he's abandoned the debate, I'd appreciate it if he'd say so. I'll wrap up my end with my closing arguments.

I've sent him a PM. We'll see if I hear anything back. Rayaan, we're on day six. How long should we wait?

He already sent me a PM (today), and told me that he will have his response up in the next couple of days. Didn't specify how many days.
He asked me if I could extend his response time. I said okay.
So, he'll probably tell you the same thing when he PMs you as well. If you're okay with that, then just tell him so.
