9013 Liars Panel

The Liar’s Panel has been a Balticon tradition for many years. The Balticon Guest of Honor is almost always one of the panelists.
Moderator: Mark Van Name;
Panelists: George R. R. Martin, Joe Haldeman, Jody Lynn Nye, Connie Willis
Each panelist, including the moderator, answers all the questions. All answers must be the truth, except three. No one other than the answering panelist knows if the answers are true or lies. After each one, anyone in the audience can challenge the answering panelist.
Multiple people can challenge; the more, the better. After there are no more challengers, the panelist tells whether the answer was truth or a lie. If it was true, every challenger puts a dollar in a bucket that runners pass. If it was a lie, the panelist puts $10 in the bucket. All proceeds go to support the literacy program, BSFS Books for Kids.
