The Phoenix Wright Courtroom

THE PHOENIX WRIGHT COURTROOM​

Since I recently got addicted to the brilliant Phoenix Wright series, I've decided to make a competition based around it. I will be the judge to determine who among two groups (each group composing of 1 or 2 people) the prosecution and the defense, can argue a point better on a certain topic. I guess this is kind of like the Debate Corner, but the topic doesn't have to be intelligent or real. Your arguments, however do have to be intelligent.

There is also a reward for winning: I will rep all members of the winning side.

Rules:

1) Both sides must agree on a topic to debate, and on which side of the debate they will be supporting. If the two sides can't come to an agreement, I will chose a topic and/or the sides the two groups will be supporting depending upon what is necessary.

2) Whether you are the prosecution or the defense, it doesn't matter. It's simply a name to address your side by.

3) A team can be composed of 1 or two people, and you can have a 2 on 1 match.

4) The case is played in turns. After both sides give their (optional) opening statements, I randomly choose who goes first. Either side can choose to call a witness (a user who is not on the prosecution or defense side) or explain their point themselves during their turn. An explanation cannot be more than 300 words in a single turn.

5) Each side has 5 exclamation points. When a side loses all their exclamation points, the opposing side wins the case. Also, if a side doesn't complete their turn within 3 days, the opposing side wins the case.

6) You can object to the opposing side's argument/witness if you find it unintelligent, irrelevant or just incorrect by posting "Objection!" or using the "Objection!" screen image below. If I agree and allow the objection, your opponent loses that turn and it is your turn. Your opponent will also lose an exclamation point. However, if I overrule your objection, your side will lose an exclamation point, and the opposing side/witness may revise their testimony if they wish while keeping the same idea of their previous argument.

7) You can ask a witness to explain their point further by posting "Hold it!" or using the "Hold it!" screen image below, and quoting them in one sentence. The witness then has to explain their point pertaining to the portion of their testimony. This can be done up to three during the opposing side's turn. If a significant flaw is pointed out, the witness must revise their testimony.

8) If both sides lose all five exclamation points within the same turn, I will determine a ruling in favor of the side I feel had the better argument overall.

Judge advent_of_apocalypse residing. Ready for anyone who has a case. I can also make a suggestion for a case if you want to play and don't have an idea. First come first serve for prosecution and defense!

 

I'd like to either be prosecution or defense, it doesn't matter. Btw, how does someone lose or gain an exclamation point?

 

If he's following the game, whenever you say something stupid, you lose an exclamation point.

 

Oh, I thought it was when you couldn't respond with enough to defend your statement.

 

Sure. I'll make you prosecution. Ryuuga, would you care to join? Also, if you don't have a topic, I have an idea for one.

Also, can this trial wait until around noon tomorrow? I have SAT2's tomorrow.

That also. If it is either an incomplete counter argument or if it's completely stupid then you lose an exclamtion point.

 

Well, I was hoping that we'd start today and continue tomorrow, if we could and let me hear your idea.

 

Umm, sure we can begin for a while now. I figured for a topic, unless you guys had another idea, we would do something everyone has heard about and most people have somewhat knowledge of: stem cell research. Is it something that countries should invest in? Prosecution and defense can decide on which side they want to take. If you are tossed on who should argue what, I'll decide. If you guys have other ideas, feel free to post them. If not, unless someone has an objection to this argument, then we'll begin with this.

 

Umm, how about something simpler?

 

LOL ok, umm... should Square Enix make a Final Fantasy VII remake on PS3, or continue to new, more original projects?

EDIT: I'll come back on at some point tomorrow.

 

That I can deal with. ^^ And I'll see you at noon, then.

 

Sorry guys. My internet was down all day. We had to call a guy from Optimum and everything. There was this problem with the outside wiring and all that nonsense, but I'm here now. Anyway, we can begin if anyone's still here >_>...

 

Me! Me! Me! I wanna join!

Can I be defense?
Stem cell research??? ...
In other words, new argument PLEZ!

 

Hehe, yea sure you can be the defense. The new argument is do you think Square Enix should make the FFVII remake for PS3 or continue to other projects.

Also, sorry I haven't been able to be on again. My internet screwed up once again but some guy fixed it. He said that it may go down again though, so just be aware.

 

It's okay dude. My wireless mouse haven't been working, but now it's fixed. Now, when shall we start?

 

Sure, we can begin once the defense gets here. You can choose which side you want to support since you were the first to join and you can make an opening statement as well if you want.

 

Aww come on. The defense is a noob and probably isn't ever gonna come back on. >_<

 

ROFL you have a good point... See if you can find any one who wants to participate. If you can't, I'll find someone, or just force one of my IRL friends to join >_>...

 

It's your contest. You should find someone. Someone who's not noobish. >>

 

Alright then... let's see...

 

As I said earlier Advent, I'd join. But uhhh, as much as I love FF7 and would love a remake with voice acting, it just wouldnt be the same... You can decide where I go.
