The Guardian leaders' debate game
Thursday night is debate night (again). We know you can barely contain your excitement, so this time we are devising a game to play. (Obviously you will have plenty of time to squeeze this in, while watching the debate live on the Guardian website , reading Andrew Sparrow's live blog , Tweeting and commenting.) The theme of this week's debate is foreign affairs – so our game is People and Places . We will be awarding points to the party leaders every time they mention a sovereign state or world leader. The more obscure the state, the more points. And if they claim to have visited the country, even better. We'll be tracking the remarks with a live map, to give a visual representation of the debate. I should point out that we are yet to rule upon whether Kosovo is a country, or whether Monaco counts only as a principality. Doubtless you will have views. Here's our draft scoring system, but again have no doubt that it can be improved upon, and we invite your suggestions – comments will close at 5pm on Wednesday. A final scoring scheme, plus a printable scorecard, will be published on Thusrday. Basic scores 1 point An EU country 2 points A European country outside the EU 2 points Referring to either Africa, Asia or the Middle East 10 points Referring to named countries in Africa, Asia or the Middle East 5 points Countries in the Americas and Australasia Bonus points + 1 point Knowing a fact about that country / region + 2 points Having been there + 5 points Naming the relevant head of state or government +20 points Meeting a "real person" from that country and having an anecdote about them + 50 points Bringing in a personal anecdote involving, in some way, Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela or the Dalai Lama Over to you.
