This was an idea Wolf had, sparked off by the goings on in a DTT thread.
Here you can start a mock court case against another member or simply debate over common topics (in which case you need someone willing to argue each side of the debate).
If you are suing a member, it must not be hateful. As in, you must be sure that you're not going to upset the person you're suing.
The defendant and the prosecutor must then choose whether to defend themselves or choose another (willing) user to be their lawyer.
You may sue an ex-member and obviously a lawyer will have to volunteer without the defendants consent.
Lastly, the two debaters must agree on a judge, or if they cannot agree, I will be judge.
This doesn't mean you can't choose me as your judge normally.
The thread will then act out as a normal court case with the judge making sure everything stays under control, and then in the end deciding whether the defendant is innocnet or guilty, or whether it must be put to the jury (a poll).
If you wish to debate a topic, it will be very similar except there is no obvious defendant so you will have to wait for someone to step forward and play devil's advocate.
This is supposed to be fun, don't let it turn into a flamewar or a board for hate on other members.
