It's a little annoying when you have to wait for another player to further the debate, and are unable to debate anyone else without cancelling your current debate and all your work. Sometimes you have to wait hours or even days for the other player to respond. Some players check the game more actively than others, and it's a shame that more active players can't debate less active players without it delaying their entire electoral effort.

That's my tuppence anyhow.
Yeah, but then you risk cancelling, starting over with a new person, and getting a slow wait all over again from the start.
I could only debate people I already know to be highly active, but that's a bummer. Seasonal events are a great time to meet new people, and it means ignoring most debate requests.
If you could have even 3 debate partners at a time, that would allow you to wait for a slow person or two, while still getting through several debates.

I personally do think you should be limited to one partner at a time, like the Moon League of Knife-and-Candles. It helps keep things tidy.
It is mostly problematic now because:
- You have a very short period of time for debates (one week)
- You need a lot of winnings to advance a level of influence, usually at least two victories for each level beyond Influence 10
- You get far too little for losing, even with two Campaigner boosting the rewards (150 in this case, so it takes 7 loss for a level)
- Agitators and Cheats only make it worse for everyone involved

I'm still at a measly 11 Influencing The Election. It just takes too long I guess.

I suspect that the reason you can only debate one person at once is mechanical limitations, not FBG wanting you to only debate one person at a time. .

The best victory (matching style, two campaigners boosting) gives you 1350 per win, but that might be a bit rare. Assuming you don't get the correct style, you get 900 instead.
The other problem is that you have nothing to do with extra winnings after you reach the top, so you have less active debaters around.
