1 ASPEC 1NC
Failure of the 1AC plan text to specify its agent kills negative ground and debateability 1. Makes the plan conditional They can change their plan after hearing our strategy. Aff conditionality is uniquely bad because the plan is the focus of debate. 2. Kills 1NC Strategy Who does the plan determines all of our arguments we cant talk about military intricacies without knowing whether the plan is legislative or an executive order; we cant talk about implementation without knowing if it is judicial or not. Our DAs, Kritiks, case arguments are all based off of the agent. CP competition in particular is based off of the TEXT of the plan Its not what they do, but what they justify. Even if you think there is no in round abuse, they justify worse debates. However, there is in round abuse because we couldnt read our sweet agent counterplans and agent based DAs since the aff had the possibility of no-linking out of them.

1 2NC Overview
Not specifying the agent in the plan text destroys competitive equity a. Makes the plan conditional the affs ability to specify the agent in the 2AC or 1AR after hearing our strategy devastates negative ground and is uniquely abuse because the plan is the focus of debate. b. Having the agent in the plan is key to 1NC strategy choices, who does the plan is key to politics, Kritiks, and CPs. Vote neg to preserve competitive equity. In round abuse is irrelevant because the theory of the plan destroys fair debate.

b. If Normal means does exist, than the aff should do the research and ut that agent in their plan proving there is no reason for them to not specify.

1 AT CX checks
1. still kills CP competition Judges decide based of of what is written in the texts. 2. Infinitelly regressive this justifies the aff just saying Plan ask us about it in cross-x 3. Kills cross-ex time were forced to waste time on the agent instead of using it effectively to ask about their shady 1AC internal links 4. Destroys 1NC and pre round prep waiting until cross-ex forces us to make strategic decisions based on an aff cross-ex whim, making neg debate impossible.

1. Proves our plan conditionality they specified after hearing our strategy which proves the plan is conditional. This is an indepdent VI 2. 1NC strategy still destroyed we cant redo the 1NC and our strategic decisions have already been compromised.

1 AT: No Abuse
1. Irrelevant - ,evaluate this like a limits topicality argument they have to justify the practice of not specifying their agent. 2. Arbitrary they force judge intervention to decide what is enough abuse is enough, making debates about a particular judge and not our arguments. 3. skews the 1nc we shouldnt have to give up 1NC time to read DAs and solvency arguments they are going to no link out of 4. Counterplan competition they ignore our CP competiton argument from above 5. Plan still conditional they still have the possibility of changing the plan hurting neg strategy.
