Mongol Trials Reflection

I thought the Mongol Trials were surprisingly fun.  They also turned out to be much more challenging than I had expected.  I was the cross examiner for the Mongol defense.  I thought I did pretty well as I got my point across and seemed to make the other side question some of their points.  I think I should have questioned more prosecuting witnesses to reinforce what I was saying.  I also wish I had made objections when I thought necessary.  I don't think I did because of how much it bugged me that the other side was confidently repeating their points over and over again.  The points weren't all strong but sounded intimidating because of the confidence.  My team as a whole needed to work on confidence, force in their speech, and not passively agreeing with the other side (specifically Futaba).  About the verdict? I think the prosecution should have won kidnapping and terrorism, yet terrorism was close.  Genocide seemed to be helping the defense and going along with what we said.  As for the real Mongols?  I think they were talented fighters and executed conquest better than anyone in history.  I think they were a little bit crazy and killed a few too many people, but overall overcame a great feat of conquering pretty much everyone they could reach.
