Two minutes. One bold idea. Make us believe.
Is a good EPal someone who can adapt to any topic?
We do not know, and honestly, it does not really matter.
Hear Me Out is a fun speaking event where participating EPals defend a topic using confidence, creativity, convincing arguments and possibly complete nonsense.
Your topic can be logical, controversial, ridiculous, or completely absurd. You may use real facts, invent evidence, exaggerate shamelessly or rely entirely on your performance.
Your goal is simple: make the audience believe you or make them burst out laughing.
đ Event Details
When: Sunday, August 9, 2026 â 2:00 PM EDT
Where: UrNewAddictionâs Arcade Room
đ How It Works
Each participant will have 3 minutes in total:
1 minute to introduce themselves, their topic, and their reward
2 minutes to present and defend their idea.
To apply, choose one of the suggested topics below or submit an original topic of your own.
đ Mic Drop Gift
Each participant will choose one Mic Drop Gift and connect it to a custom reward.
Every time someone sends that gift, they earn the announced reward once. Rewards can stack without a limit.
Example:
Mic Drop Gift: Dancing Ryan
Reward: 10 minutes of voice call
Sending three Dancing Ryan gifts would unlock 30 minutes of voice call.
For every 5 Buff gifted to a participant during their turn, the gifter will also have 25 I Appreciate U free gifts added to their backpack.
đ Top Gifter Bonus
The supporter who gifts the highest total Buff value to a participant during their turn will receive double everything they earned from that participant, including the custom reward and I Appreciate U free gifts. And a special reward: ''100 Golden Bell'' free gifts for only top gifters of each participant
For example, someone who earned 30 minutes of voice call and 50 free gifts would receive 60 minutes of voice call and 100 free gifts as that participantâs Top Gifter.
