Tolkien Balloon Debate Discussion.

I apologise if this is not the right place to start this thread; but as I foresee it as a blend of Tolkien and the Barrow-Downs itself I thought it best go here. I hope my reasoning is sound. (All complaints to Boromir88 if I am wrong )

I have noticed many fine quizzes and games but I've not seen a sign of a "Balloon Debate", (I may not have looked deep enough) so I wanted to start this thread and guage the interest of the members.

Would you like to take part in a Balloon Debate?

Now what is a "Balloon Debate" for those a little unfamiliar with the term. Well it is simple, a number of participants for example six (this figure is usually a managable number for the moderator and participants and time length desired), speaks on behalf of themselves, or a character or race, (however my intention is for this to change to accomodate different challenges) to win over the audience.

That is to say that the balloon in which they are in, is sinking, one person must be thrown out at the end of each round (the voting is made by the non-participants) until there is one "Champion" left.
