Archer he/him Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Quote This has the feel of having been orchestrated in advance. Either that, or Mac realized he couldn't win and just gave up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacThorstenson he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Quote I’m at the Celtics right now, keeping up with the thread is difficult, but I like how no one is saying I can’t be unbiased any more for a new character, or suggesting that unbiased actually say oaths instead of it just happening. I never actually broke any rules, I never agreed to any contract or said any oaths, I just called myself unbiased and y’all went along with it. Also, I pride myself on the fact that I never once lied during my time as a unbiased. (Actually wait, maybe once) Let’s be careful of (a) giving someone this much power, and (b) takes my what they say at face value.

You have broken the social contract and we (at least I) entered once again into the war of all against all. Yay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay Quote I suppose then that stems from a difference in where the power of an unbiased comes from. I think the power shouldn’t come from the people, because then it could be taken away by the people. What then happens if they have to make an unpopular decision, that the people hate? They need to be able to make that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistspren she/her Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) "Gancho Libre, having accepted Kidpen's terms, I sentence you to death by aluminum armed firing squad. Furthermore, no future incarnations of MacThorstenson cannot be murdered or in any other way killed by the Ghostbloods without fair reason, including contract and provocation. Any other reasons for death can be manipulated or controlled by the Ghostbloods. If the Ghostbloods break this resolution, another trial or equivalent impartial hearing must occur. The minimum punishment for such an act is death, and the maximum charge death and removal of license to kill in the Alleyverse. The case is closed." I say, standing after I finish to walk out of the room. That had gone by incredibly quickly.

Mistspren she/her Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Quote That can either be debated in another trial, or a council of guild members as you suggested. I would define provocation as MacThorstenson attacking one of your members or attempting to kill someone in the GBs. It is essentially a self defense clause, saying you can kill him if he attacks you, so he does not abuse his powers. If another client, with a legitimate reason to kill Mac hires you, other than because of any material this trial settled, then you can also kill him, as stipulated by Kidpen, but that will take more serious review to determine what constructs a legitimate reason, and how separate that is from this trial. Remember, if you break these rules, we can decide upon a punishment ranging from death to death and revocation of all right to kill in the alleyverse for all characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) I'm going to interpret provocation as an intentional act of aggression or betray against my guild. Edit: when you say 'no future incarnations of MacThorstenson cannot be murdered or in any other way killed by the Ghostbloods without fair reason' the double negative means you have to kill him... @Mistspren Edited April 29, 2018 by Archer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I protest, what if the GBs want to kill him to further their own agenda? No one else is immune from us, why should a criminal like Mac get special treatment? Also why dose @Mistspren (a biased member of TUBA) get to make lasting judgements. What gives this court power? Have delgets from all the guilds agreed on rules and regulations like what we did with the rules of war? Btw, I know this point is moot because the GBs were disbanded, I am arguing this point because as the first legal case we are making history, we need to make sure that we are setting a good precedent (witch we are not) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistspren she/her Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Sorry, I fixed that. That was a mistake. I really messed up that trial a lot.

Archer he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) I'll reiterate that mistspren was agreed upon (as judge) by both sides including the gb representative, thus giving him authority over this trial. Unless you have proof he colluded with a party, or evidence of bias, then you have no reason to dispute his authority @The Forgetful Archivist.

MacThorstenson was killed, but other characters by him are free from unnecessary or vengeance based murders. The GBs could still be hired to kill him, if it was for a sufficient reason, and you can still kill him out of self defence/provocation. TL;DR blame the lawyers for these terms, they wrote them and agreed upon them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am disputing his authority because he claimed to have the power to "revoke of all right to kill in the alleyverse for all characters." But he was never given his power by the guilds of the alleyverse just a few sharders trying to create a legal battle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) He was given the power by the gb lawyers. So it at least has authority over Gbs and Mac. I suppose if you wanted to formally dispute his authority over other guilds, you could try breaking the rules of the ruling and see how the trial goes for you... The results would be hard to predict. You have a bit of a case. I don't know if it would be enough though. He did mention appeals to a higher court. That's another approach, appealing this ruling to the next level Edited April 29, 2018 by Archer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Forgetful Archivist he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I move that this be categorized as a mistrial until we can meet as delgets and create actual legal codes. The fact that we had a trial implies we want order, so I find the idea of a chaotic trial loosely and unofficially based around American courts systems completely irrational. This isn't order its ill-disguised chaos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer he/him Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 You know what, I second the motion to appeal the ruling. On the grounds of overstepping the court's authority leading to an illegal ruling (the basis of the argument being the judge was not approved by, say, tuba. Therefore, the ruling shouldn't effect tuba.) to be clear, I thought mistspren did a great job, but there was a lot of confusion about what happened so the wrong call was made then relayed. Not necessarily his fault. A death row pardon two minutes too late... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
