Region: Libertatem
We are shooting for 5PM EST.
Y'know, I'm gonna go poke CI's main account.
Well I'm ready whenever Ankha is. I will be on tomorrow till 6:00 so my bad on the dates. I thought I'd be doing stuff all day tomorrow.
Well we are still scheduled for 5PM EST Today.
All you'll need to do is give your defense the information he needs; non-citizens are apparently not allowed to defend themselves.
We need to make that a law if we're going to be using that in actual cases.
Hey, Humph, I can privately chat with you now. I'll send you a link.
Is it just me or has CI gone inactive on all of his accounts?
I have one recommendation. Mien, hurry up.
Okey dokey.
He's on vacation. I think he'll be back next week.

Oh.
I'll go pull another guy then.
Thats a little late..Mien, *morgan freeman voice* "Handle.....it.."
Great.
Well, there's only one name left in this list.
RRRG, YOU'RE A JUROR NOW CONGRATULATIONS YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF REFUSAL ANYMORE WE'RE LITERALLY TOTALLY OUT OF JURORS.
Nice. Really.
Lack there of has been unanimously appointed Defense Attorney for the defendant.
These trials would be so much easier to plan if only we had more people active.
I mnos, really...
That's neat and all, but when is this scheduled
O-O
Didn't you have a list of 16?
Nice.
Anytime. I don't see why we can't do it now and give the jury a 12 hour voting period.
We have 114 nations.
Of those, we have 26 citizens.
Of those, only 10 are active.
You'd think we'd have all our citizens plus at least 20 more non-citizens active right about now. It's summer.
I removed 6 names due to them being jurors, and then I eliminated 1 because of refusal, then another because of inability to respond in time, then cut out some more because those names turned into the prosecution and those otherwise incapable of being on the jury, and in the end I finally managed to trim it down to exactly one person because the other names were too inactive.
Because I have to leave soon for a guitar thingy and Ill get back around4, so why not 5ish?
You don't have to be here. It's four posts from me and Lack. Mien asks a question, we answer. We're done.
You just have to start it. Pev, as President, can close it.
I am working till 10 so my ability to focus on this after 3 is going to be minimal
So, let's just get started and get this done with.
Ok, what do you guys wanna do? (Also, the jurors arent all here, they will be at 5.plus,Id liie to be there.
Well, I think I'm going to go get lunch, and if we've already started then I'll just read up, ask a random question, and then wait for the jury to come along and vote.
Or, y'know, if the jury has a question I'll ask that.
I'm actually cleaning out a turkey pen right now, so give me a bit to finish up/clean up. Damn filthy animals
I suddenly have a craving for turkey.
I'm going to track your IP, walk down there, and take a turkey home with me and be back in time for Thanksgiving.
That's why we give a twelve hour voting period. Lack being here is more important than you being here at this point.
Same here. Thaat is whatt local 7-111 iss for riightt? Ha.
Thats not weird. [/saarcasm] cleaning a turkey pen and being on MS at once.
Nice. Real nice.
Though that may be true, the cold and dismiissive is not appreciated.i
Logical honesty is not cold and dismissive. The AG does not have to be present for the trial, but there would not be a trial without the defense. If we'r doing that would you like me to list everything you've done in the past 72 hours that I don't appreciate?
Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
Well, I'm off to get food now, so I'll be back eventually.
Hopefully the trial will have been mostly over by then.
The sooner we get this over with the better.
Seconded.
Agreed
Now the defense is here. Whatever, what do I do to start it?
Hear ye, hear ye! The court of Libertatem is now in session. This is the case of TTA APPEAL to Libertatem. I am presiding. Prosecution: You may begin your opening statements. (Im done now?)
*pssst* you forgot to say "all rise"
Reminder: Please refrain from any RMB chatter until the trial is concluded. TTA, if you don't like something I say, tell Lack, don't post it.
Is that nessecary? Anyway, Silence, please. (Except the prosecution, then the defense, and the chairman whereever.
Citizens of Libertatem, Mr. Foreman, Mr. Attorney General, welcome.
I ask you, why are we here? We have gathered to consider the annulment of the banishment upon The Time Alliance. Convicted traitor. He was banished from this region after the event of the raid on Communist Beach. While he may argue that he only did what he thought was right, this is irrelevant. We are not here to argue morals as morals are subjective and no basis for an argument. We are here to discuss his actions. He blatantly conspired and fought against citizens of this region while still a citizen himself. He fought with the communists and strategized against this region.
Following his legal banishment, a majority vote of the Board of Libertatem, he twice sent puppets here disguised as a new nation. Voting with one. This in itself is two charges of puppet fraud, punishable by banishment in itself. We have three counts of banishment in one nation? Why would this glorious region let this man vote, hold office, or fight for it's military again? The idea that this man could have anything but the most grim intentions for his citizenship is absurd. I implore the jury, and the region, not to forget this man's past. Do not make the same mistake again. The Prosecution rests.
(remember lack, no rebuttal, just opening.)
And the defense, your opening statement?
He's cleaning the turkey pen, and it takes awhile to write a statement. Give him time.
I was only prompting it. Order!
You can shove that gavel up.......... no, you're better than this, Hump. The prosecution apologizes.
The prosecution needs to be silent. The court understand, and forgives.
Hmm, you do the trial for TTA as soon as I leave. Nice.
Excuse the newcomer,but The Court must ask that you be silent during the trial. The defense is currently preparing opening statements. If youd please refrain from posting until the conclusion of the trial.
But, the court understands and forgives. (If you need something, or have a question, or anything like that, just TG me.)
If I may, could I re-open to back my argument with evidence?
That is not nessecarily proper, but the court obliges and grants you permission to do so.
These are all either lies to the region from The Time Alliance, or admittance of a plot from The Time Alliance to force this region into fascism after traveling to enemy regions in an attempt soil our name. And now we debate his citizenship. Close.
Noted. Prosecution: You may be seated.
Now, we will wait for the defense (Lack there of) who is cleaning a turkey pen.
Humpheria, Albenia has Telegrammed me involving the fact that he believes some of the things you have just presented for evidence are not factual. Please look over them again just to ve sure. Also, your under oath.
The events in questions occurred 83 days ago on the Regional Message Board of the Region of Libertatem. They are public records. You can see these events transpire starting on page 717 on Forum View of the RMB.
pppfft you were already fascist.
I ask the Court to disregard this outburst and for this post to be stricken from record.
*loudly eats popcorn*
Actually. I don't have time for a trial or time for two regions.
I told my defense Im pleading guilty since I'm very guilty of the puppet fraud (Though I don't know anything about using one to vote or anything about GWC) and now I'm leaving. I'll miss all of you. Bye buds.
Ban me whenever as I have no more use for this nation.
The Prosecution thanks the defendant for his honesty and wishes to close with one statement.
Through all of the horrid acts The Time Alliance, has committed, one factor remains. He continues to care about this region. Maybe not the ideologies, but the region still. He is an active nation and we are a bit lacking in that field. I, as the Vice President, motion to the Board and Citizens, a vote to lift the ban and issue a regional pardon.
Prosecution rests.

Post self-deleted by Lack There Of.
well there went twenty minutes i'll never get back
For curiosity's sake. What was your argument based on?
Whose puppet are you?
I'm just ignoring him. I imagine it is probably Mr. T.
I assumed the same.
the raid not being sanctioned by the region
I was preparing for that. Shame, it would have been quite fun.
Even if we got that as a win (Raid). We'd still have the puppet thing to worry about which we can't really defend.
Even if we got that as a win (Raid). We'd still have the puppet thing to worry about which we can't really defend effectively.
If I may distract for a moment, I find it interesting that Mr. T is still trying to get our enemies to attack us. He's gone and posted on the International's RMB about it now.
Because obviously going to the UCR the same way worked out great.
I still think we should put a pardon up for a vote. People make mistakes, but we need able bodies. And no one got anywhere being bitter.
He's rather stupid.
Lovely.
I believe a vote would be appropriate.
Mien, can you bring a pardon up to vote in the Board?
I am 25th only because I only annex small nations at a time.
This will be arranged.
Thank you.
Tta you better love me for this.
Well I never disliked you...
