Well then, I thought I'd just open this up for discussion.
As we all know, the forum does seem somewhat inactive.
I doubt there are actually much of any people who actually know of this, although we have loads of posts in the GameFAQs topic. I think this might possibly be due to the name of the topic, how about creating a topic for recruitment into this? Although that might be somewhat offtopic on GameFAQs.
I think we might also want to involve more people. Each case basically has like only 2 people doing something most of the time, the prosecutor and the defense attorney. Either we involve more people in 1 case, although I not sure how this could be done effectively as I would still see that the lawyers on each side would get most of the screen time.
I would think that the people on a case could be:
- Plaintiff/Complainant
- Defendant
- Prosecuting attorney & co-council (2 people)
- Defense attorney & co-council (2 people)
- Judge (an actual person unrelated be the Judge, I believe Dypo actually suggested this before)
- Alternatively, Jury
(we have more than 1 person making the judgment and they can discuss and give us their reason for the verdict as well, which may or may not be challenged; depending on circumstances. We would still have a Judge, but he would be more of like the current Judge we have now where he simply handles the court proceedings and is controlled by everyone.)
[/list]
Not including the Judge, that's 6 people at max. And 4 lawyers. Still, The Plaintiff and defendant is not going to be able to do much. So it's basically 4 people arguing against each other...
Alternatively, we have more cases or even multiple cases occurring at the same time. Of course, this would mean we need to find more things to argue about.
Does anybody have any ideas to improve the activity and/or publicity?
