Abstract
In the previous chapter, we have carried out a comparative analysis of different argumentation strategies by simulatingdualistic (two-proponent) debates. As noted above, the results of these simulations may not be directly scaled up to debates with more than two proponents. This is the reason why we study, in this chapter, debates with six proponents who implement argumentation strategies which are derived from the basic rules previously introduced.
