I actually like the courtroom idea, complete w/ 12 newbies.

Think how much it might mean to them 10 years from now, I can see it in their sig's... "I was one of the Balrog 12!"

Maybe only 7 jurors due to JRRT's note in HoME X.

Actually it would be fun and would produce as definitive a result as one could hope for.

It could happen in 3 phases:
1>Each side presents arguments - jurors read and are allowed questions.
2>Each side presents final arguments/rebuttals/closing point - jurors read and
3> Jurors write the reason for their decision, what swayed them etc...

Of course we could make it way... more involved but that should do it. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
