Five minutes a side · an MC keeps the clock

The Coliseum

The Coliseum. The trade argues about the same handful of things in every room on the planet -- deposit or door split, who owns the live recording, whether ten spots go to the highest bid or the best fit. Put the question on the floor, take a side, say your piece under your own name. Five minutes a side. An MC keeps the clock -- SkyHigh's own trade.

The floor

Counting the floor…

The house

Three tiers. For on the left, against on the right, listeners between, the MC at the front. Sit where you actually sit.

Choose a motion above and the house fills in here.

FORAGAINSTMC

An empty seat is an empty seat. Seats fill only when real people sit in them.

Choose a motion above to save a seat.

A result is a count of seats, nothing more. While a floor is open the hub declares nothing about either side.

How a motion runs

A verified profile posts a motion. Anyone signed in can take a seat.
One seat per person per motion: for, against, or listening.
A position is short -- the desk sets its length -- and it sits under your own name.
Five minutes a side. The MC opens the floor and closes it.
Counts are shown the whole way through. A closed motion shows its final counts and stops taking seats. That is all a result is: a count of seats, never a verdict.
