In this paper we propose an approach to resolve the conflicts in which more thantwo parties are allowable. It is a refinement and extension of Lootsma's pairwise comparison method for resolution of conflicts. The trade-offs of benefits and costs are judged in verbalterms which are subsequently converted into numerical values on a discrete geometric scale. Three schemes are suggested for supporting a mediator to recommend an appropriate dealto all the parties. We also present a procedure to estimate the trade-offs of the composite deals. The approach is illustrated via the example of a market scramble.
