Another activity planned for the convention is a series of great debates!
A wide range of Discworld topics are available, all for suggestions here!
For starters perhaps;
Ankh vs Morpork, which is the better side of town? - Ankh may have the UU, the Opera House and the majority of the Guild Houses, but Morpork has the Whore Pits!
Great Debate

Without sounding pedantic (even tho I am being) isn't UU in the Morpork side of town if I remember my streets of Ankh Morpork correctly?

I think you're right there.
Well that does it, Morpork wins anyway!
Any other suggestions?

That's a good one.
How about Patricians or Kings?
And who should rule Ankh-Morpork?
Vetinari? Carrot? Vimes? Rust? Nobby? Gaspode?

Democracy vs benign dictator
(but first, a definition of democracy)
10 reasons why a troll is better than a dwarf
(or a gollum than a zombie, or ....whatever)
Ankh-Morpork….had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.

I think I understand the topic... like a tv shown on a tv shown on a tv?
From where I'm sitting you'd have to have six sides at least - one for each of the worlds mentioned above and then one for all those who belive that they can all exist and one for everyone who believes that none of them exist... I personally would try to argue that the first writer was really justa story anyway, therefore everything else following is really just a part of the plot... :)
It sounds less like a debate than a rabble to me, but who knows? It could be fun...
