Since Luke_Wolf suggested it: here's a thread dedicated to my endeavour to convert the whole Debian init discussion into a series of Ace Attorney (Phoenix Wright) "cases". I'm using Ace Attorney Online for all of them (started off in version 5, but now using the beta of version 6, hence midway through the cases you can notice the text starting to move faster and screen transitions appear ). They are largely non-interactive (you don't present anything, only the cross-examinations have "press" buttons, you continue by pressing the last statement in the cross-examination).
At the moment of writing I have four cases, of which the first two are finished, the third is nearly finished and the fourth is in development.
Case 1 (investigation): http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_T...trial_id=57684
Case 2 (opinion statements): http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_T...trial_id=57899
Case 3 (opinion statements and policy): http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_T...trial_id=58428
Case 4 (voting preparations, possibly voting itself): http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_T...trial_id=60363
In general this serves a dual purpose: infotainment and satire. The statements you see there are shortened versions of posts on this page, with as little reinterpretation as possible (some statements are direct quotes), aside from some occasional additions to make the discussion flow better in this format. Characters were chosen in a way that the left (defence) side is more pro-systemd, the right (prosecution) side is pro-Upstart, and the middle (witness) are more neutral or not part of the TC (while people with lower relevance are cat into "P. gallery"). Cross-examinations are used as a way to structurise the discussions that are otherwise known as "quote wars" (mostly used for opinion statements so far). The dates you see are somewhat approximate, due to some newer posts being attached to older ones to help flow (also due to timezone differences). I typically split cases after 500 tiles (but they build up a bit more due to new mailing list posts referencing old ones).
At the moment I got to the point where investigation and opinions are over and voting starts. Oh, and Keith Packard should be introduced in the very near future, in case 4. Exciting times! I also just recently added a lot more objections into the end of case 3.
I guess I'll also use this thread to post updates and links to new cases.
