Argumentation games have been proved to be a robust and flexible tool to resolveconflicts among agents. An agent can propose its explanation and its goal known as a claim, which can be refuted by other agents. The situation is more complicated when there are morethan two agents playing the game. We propose a weighting mechanism for competing premises to tackle with conflicts from multipleagents in an n-person game. An agent can defend its proposal by giving a counter-argument to change the "opinion" of the majority of opposing agents. Furthermore, using the extendeddefeasible reasoning an agent can exploit the knowledge ...
