Alright; so we were goofing around in the Skype chat when I came up with this game! :3
I, Melody, will be your judge. So let me lay down some rules of decorum for my courtroom! :3
Rules:
So basically you must have two players to bring someone to trial: but for the sake of simplicity we will provide a prosecutor who is open for taking cases
Trial posts which do not follow this format should not be processed
To submit a trial post:
Your Username (will be entered as the Plaintiff)
Defendant:
Crime:
Evidence:
Prosecutor: Optional, if you want to suggest someone, they must post and accept this
Pleas:
Guilty - You admit to the crime. You may additionally waive your right to a trial here and we will "sentence" you appropriately
Not Guilty - You protest the accusation. A trial will be held. Failure to submit the right paperwork will result in a default 'Guilty' verdict
No Contest - You do not dispute the accusation AND you waive your right to trial. You consent to be "sentenced", though you may have a hearing to reduce your sentence down...
Insanity/Incapable - You are insane and are therefore "Not Guilty, by reason of insanity". This is a plea used to argue you're incapable of committing the "Crime"
Under Protest - You do not choose to enter a plea; you are questioning the legality of the accusation itself, and a separate hearing is held to determine the validity of the accusation.
Opt-Out - You want nothing to do with this game. You may provide a reason.
To submit a plea post:
Username:
Crime accused of:
Plaintiff:
Your Plea: (May be Guilty, Not Guilty, No Contest, Insanity/Incapable, Under Protest or Opt-Out.)
Reason:
Lawyers may post in this thread to volunteer to be a lawyer for upcoming cases. Plaintiffs may choose you or you may be assigned a case to speed things along. You will receive a PM in this case from the judge Melody
I, Melody, will be your judge. So let me lay down some rules of decorum for my courtroom! :3
Rules:
- Each Trial takes place in the order they are submitted.
- Each Trial must name 1 (One) Defendant who is being tried for their "Crime"
- "Crimes" submitted must be Silly!. If you have a beef with someone or think they broke a rule somewhere this is not the place for it! Crimes must take place via some form of communication medium where evidence can be collected easily! (Public posts on forum, public/open skype chats, or other chatrooms, ect.) The medium must be PUBLIC unless the defendant consents. Private Messages of any type cannot be submitted as evidence of the "Crime"
- "Crimes" must be uniquely "Criminal" enough for the person in question; you wouldn't put someone on trial for being themselves!
- An accusation must not be crafted in a malicious manner, this is a light hearted game!
- A judge, jury, and prosecutor will be supplied. The Defendant may name a Defense Lawyer if they wish in their Acceptance Post
- A Judge will make the final decision based on the input of the Jury.
- Defendant Winners will be forgiven, and cannot be tried again for the same or similar "crime" again.
- Plaintiffs who win, may immediately try another person. Plaintiffs who lose cannot try the same person again, and must not try someone else for the same kind of crime again
- Defendants MUST make a Plea Post before a trial can begin. (So you can't rope someone unwilling into this)
