Thank you Pevvania.

TTA, if you were going to admit guilt, why did you appeal?

Muh Roads wrote: TTA, if you were going to admit guilt, why did you appeal?

Because. I wasn't going to plead guilty.

Until he brought up my damned puppet fraud which in all honesty even I forgot about. When I saw the Puppets mentioned I sat down for a while and trying to think up a defense about that to give to Lack. I couldn't think of one.

Muh Roads wrote: TTA, if you were going to admit guilt, why did you appeal?

So originally I was going as Innocent and was going to fight down the Traitor thing. Or tell lack things to fight it down.

Ankha's decision is confusing. First he rejected the appeal, and then said he was open to accepting it if a vote said otherwise. Legal decisions are supposed to be binding. I can't think of any legal foundation for this.

Muh Roads wrote: TTA, if you were going to admit guilt, why did you appeal?

I was wondering the same thing. TTA, why didn't you just appeal on the grounds of good behaviour or something? That's how it usually works. We should probably restructure the Court of Appeal so it is a randomly selected tribunal making a decision based on the testimony of the appellant. I don't see why there should be any prosecution.

Appeal on grounds of Good behaviour? I can do that? F***

To be fair, it was already voted on, and an overwhelming majority wants to return his citizenship and such. At this point, what does it matter? He has been here for a very long time, and has behaved very well.

Pevvania wrote:Somebody tell me this: who made Ankha judge? Was he appointed by the Chairman of the Board - as required by law - or did he appoint himself? He has rejected TTA's appeal, but this may be invalid if Ankha was not appointed correctly.

Do you realize what has happened? As standard, after he pleaded guilty,he is therefore guilty. The board decided yhey wantee to make anexceptionthough. I like TTA. I shouldnt be the bad guy. [B]He pleaded guilty. He is therfore guilty. The board wanted to make anexcdption. Humph brought it to the table, TNUS seconded it.

Ha ha ha..... legal foundation.... ha ha ha You're hilarious Pevvie-poo. There was absolutely no legal foundation yesterday. I kept my mouth shut because this is Tatem not Murica, but that was no where near acceptable by American standards.

The Court of Appeals contained a prosecutor because according to APPEAL, once the court date was set, it proceeded as a normal trial as outlined in COURT.

You'll probably have to leave until he pardons

Albenia wrote:Well I was charged Guilty and have 24 hours to leave

Mostly because you plead guilty.

Which would've been avoided if I hadn't used those damn puppets. I had planned out a great defense over the "Traitor issue". I made sure to get my facts in order from Minerva.....then Humph reminded us of the Puppet fraud...

You could have still brought up innocent by good behavior; the trial wasn't about punishing you for past crimes, but about dropping all those past crimes and letting you back in.

Top quote irrelevant but I wanted to put it back up top.

Miencraft wrote:You could have still brought up innocent by good behavior; the trial wasn't about punishing you for past crimes, but about dropping all those past crimes and letting you back in.

I didn't know I could.

I was so focused on proving I was Innocent in the first place. I never even knew I could Appeal on good behavior.

Albenia wrote:I didn't know I could.

Well, it was kind of an appellate trial. Now you know that the point wasn't about proving your innocence; we had already proven otherwise. Point was more to say "hey, you know all that other stuff I did? I've changed, can you let me back?".

Is anybody interested in declaring themselves a member of the Libertatem Independence Caucus, which we discussed earlier? No need to leave your primary party.

Republic Of Minerva wrote:I do.

Yay! I'll add you to the roster, Mr. General.

The Libertatem Military General of Republic of Minerva is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Morris C Davis with an even hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.28 billion Minervans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Victoria. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing industries.

Mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a problem. Republic of Minerva's national animal is the Sandcrab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its currency is the Minerva Dollar.

Republic of Minerva is ranked 72nd in Libertatem and 79,370th in the world for Most Godforsaken, with 10 Dawkins.

Am I running my nation right?

I find this part to be unfair. Then again, all the definitions are biased towards the left.

Republic Of Minerva wrote:[B]Am I running my nation right?[/B]

Not at all. :P

... But I sure am.

"The Republic of The New United States is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Amerigo Rahn with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.221 billion Apostolakians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government concentrates mainly on Education, although Commerce and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Columbia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Information Technology.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, military funding has been stripped back, gun ownership is compulsory, and drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New United States's national animal is the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, its national religion is officially abolished, and its currency is the New United States Dollar."

I love the first Paragraph of Time Alliance's description

The Democratic Confederation of The Time Alliance is a massive, devout nation, ruled by The Conservative Front with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. The compassionate, intelligent population of 1.808 billion The Time Allianceans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
