Would anyone be interested in this thing I call: The Great Debates.
2 parties will debate each other (relating to lore) and 3 unbiased "judges" will see who is the winner. I wouldn't say it is particularly directed at gods, but general lore like gnomes and stuff.

I would love that. I can be the judge or a part of the party :) And I know quite a few people who can be unbiased judges too.

It's better than flaming and such. And it covers numerous topics, unbiased judges, and of course... REWARDS!
Rewards would be like bonds or 10m I make videos.

You've sparked my interest.

throw in a black santa hat and you've got my soul in your pocket.

In all seriousness, that sounds like a great idea. I'd love to give it a shot. I'd recommend you include a clause for your judges to automatically disqualify anyone, who uses logical fallacies, such as ad hominem, and red herrings. "We call it being a hero"
"That's interesting, we call it utter stupidity"

No way, the judges wouldn't be mature enough to put pre-conceived biases aside, against certain factions like Saradominists.

Considering most forum users don't know the difference between supporting an argument with evidence and pure speculation or guessing, it really invalidates the purpose of a debate.

If the debate is solely for fun then that's fine, but then again it wouldn't be a true debate.

Hmm...
Let's start brainstorming ideas :D
1. Black vs White Knights
2. Zamorak's Theory of Chaos
3. Mobilizing Armies Conspiracy
4. Zarosian Society
5. Bandos vs Armadyl - Future of Lore
6. Bilrach - General or lapdog?
7. Zaros - Fertile Dragon Riders?
8. Saradomin - Wand of Resurrection
9. Zamorak - Dwarves
10. Tuska - Innocent or guilty?
11. Tuska - Mindless or sentient?
12. Penguins - Threat or not? I make videos.

Oh you pessimist.

The way you said it, it just sounds like you're afraid of more anti-Saradominist words out there. Even worse- anti-Saradominists thoughts in a respectable debate.

If anything, I would have expected to you to get ready to defend your god in the debate. Come on. You are the most vocal Saradominist on the forum. If you don't try to defend your god, who will?
