The Court: Chambers

- Groucho - · October 30, 2002, 13:12

This thread is for the court to send non-confidential messages to each other.

If you check out the Court reporting thread, you'll see that we've received a case. I distributed the complaint to all the other justices by PM but the PM system is not suited to this stuff (any idea how to send PMs to multiple recipients?)

Please send me your email addresses by PM and I will distribute them to each of us so we can more efficiently communicate.

The first order of business is determining a panel for our first case. Please respond soonest.

Three things.

1. my email is ambivalenthysteria@iprimus.com.au
2. If the case is still going on Monday, I'll serve on the case...otherwise I'll have to be absent, as I'll be out of town.
3. read the new base naming poll...some issues came up there which could affect the outcome of the case

(i pmed you about that, but just in case the other justices didn't get that)

Pandemoniak · October 30, 2002, 18:53

I wont be able to serve on the Base Naming case, but I'll prosecute Lemmy.

- Groucho - · October 30, 2002, 19:04

Pande: pm me your email so I can set up a list.

As for the the Base Naming case, Mr. President and Tassadar5000, are you out there? It seems like the three of us are the panel. Unless you guys aren't around either, in which case I may be forced to run with this myself.

Darkness' Edge · October 30, 2002, 19:25

The constitution demands that three justices be used.

If Mr. President and Tassadar don't turn up by Monday, you'll have another justice in me, but we may have trouble finding a third one.

Drogue · October 30, 2002, 19:37

Who actually are the judges. And just outta interest, how were they chosen?

Method · October 30, 2002, 19:40

tassadar5000, darknees' edge, groucho, pandemoniak and mr president. they're elected like any other position, except their terms are 2 months, instead of 1 like other positions

Guess I shoulda read that part again, huh?

Mr. President · October 31, 2002, 03:05

I'm doing Lemmy's trial, so I might not be able to hear the other complaint for a while. (Plus I have exams in real life.

)

DeathByTheSword · October 31, 2002, 07:14

i lemmy trail isnt 'real'....this one is 'real'....

Lemmy · October 31, 2002, 12:03

What constitutes a "real" trial anyway?
Can the court only be used for constitutional issues (only things related to the game itself and how it's played), or also for roleplaying issues (my trial)?

DeathByTheSword · October 31, 2002, 12:32

i think constitutional issues have preferance above rp trials....so i think it wrong to divert rescources from 'real' cases to rp cases.....

Hmm? We have a case....? And why was I not informed!

- Groucho - · November 2, 2002, 01:35

My first reaction: you weren't informed because you didn't read the three threads where it was mentioned.

However, I thought I PMd you when I PMd everyone else. Unfortunately, when you forward a PM it doesn't keep a copy in your sent items as proof. I'll send you the stuff again.

Darkness' Edge · November 3, 2002, 22:47

A few things.
I haven't checked my email yet, so I don't know if there's anything there yet.

With the roleplay trials - I'm not keen for us to have anything to do with them. If it's a roleplay case, I don't see why we can't find a few civilians to hear the case. If it's a case to do with the game itself, that's where we should come in - especially at times like now, where we already have another case to deal with. "Real" cases should definitely take precedence.

Anyway, I'm back.

If Mr. Pres can get away from the RP case, we should have enough justices to make a decision.

Darkness' Edge · November 3, 2002, 22:58

Alright...I've just been talking to Tass on MSN.

We have three justices.

I must request that Pande and Mr. Pres make this case their first priority. I'm sure Lemmy's trial can wait a couple of days.

Who's going to be the Senior Justice?

Mr. President · November 4, 2002, 02:42

I'd be glad to think about this, but I didn't really understand the problem. What does it involve again?

Darkness' Edge · November 4, 2002, 04:11

In short: whether the naming of Pandemonium was legal. Fairly average case.

Lemmy · November 4, 2002, 05:41

Can pande be in this case? Since it was his basename suggestion, isn't he too much involved?

Darkness' Edge · November 4, 2002, 07:38

I don't think it's very relevant. As it is, he mightn't even be serving...we only have three confirmed justices to hear the case (Groucho, Tass and myself).

DeathByTheSword · November 4, 2002, 11:28

then when will the case begin?

Darkness' Edge · November 5, 2002, 01:35

can you two pm me your email addresses?

- Groucho - · November 5, 2002, 23:51

Sorry for the couple day absence - work has been a *****. I'll send my email now.

Darkness' Edge · November 6, 2002, 00:11

Great. Now we can actually get started.
