Kody's proposal: Chiron debating teams
I was sent this PM by Kody. Reactions? (Read the quoted part first, as that's the original message)
***
I suggested it when we were discussing possible topics, and was told a firm no. 
I figured we'll come up with 1 artsy topic, 1 serious topic, and one wacked topic. Then we run a poll in the public forum on which topic will be used for the debate.
With the serious topic we'll avoid religion and anything that would envoke too strong an opinion. The three judges will make the final decision on who argued the point best (not who is right).
Just ask the people in your forum if there would be at least 2 people that would be willing form a debating team.
Decided not to actually post the idea to the main forum until I first rustled up some support. Otherwise it would turn into just another spam thread.

I hope you will avoid the topic Free Market <-> Planned.

The Hive is running out of ideas for scandals to liven up the ACDG forum, so a few Hive members are considering starting a debating competition between the 5 factions. Be warned if there aren't enough participants the Hive spamming of the public forum will continue and we will also post nude pictures of Claire to the public forums making it a hardcore pornography site. If that fails to make you submit to the will of the Hive then we will be forced to unleash the Tassadar!
Would a few members of your team be interested in joining?
I'm considering inviting a few forum posters that are interested in SMAC, but aren't involved in the ACDG to act as judges. Also I'm hoping to convince the Hive to set aside a few ECs as a prize for the winner.
PS: This message as been carbon copied to each of the other factions.
