Summoning all whom read this to rad it...

[Sir Shaun]

Hello,

I need for twelve of you to volunteer to serve as the jury in the trial of flannel.

If there are not twelve whom apply then I shall accept all whom apply assuming the prosecutor and defense counsel have no objections.

Your job will be to read the trial post and keep up to date but ignore any facts you see outside of the thread and then when I ask for you verdict you shall offer me one in a deliberation thread where you can talk to each other but no one else...

Then your forperson shall come into the court and give me the verdict.

Ok then so whom amongst you volunteers?

Signed,
Sir Shaun...

if you already have a job in the court you are not allowed to serve on the jury.

[Solja Slim]

I reckon the jolly Slim Solja named Ben might be able to do jury duty.

[crossrhythm]

I'm willing to serve, though I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to, seeing as how I am indirectly involved in this trial and may be called upon to testify or something. Let me know.

[crossrhythm]

Furthermore, if there's one thing that annoys me more than anything else in the entire world, it's creating a double post! All right, so maybe it's not that bad, but if I have to make a double post, I can at least try to make the second one interesting.

[faeroeisle]

i volunteer for jury duty.

[Ducky]

I hereby submit my availability as a law-abiding and concerned citizen.
*Ducky*

[butterfly]

Well, I would volunteer, but I'm afraid I might be biased so I'd better not.

[butterfly]

Oh, I was also wondering if anyone can be forced to testify or if that also will be done on a volunteer basis.

[Squeaky]

Quack!

(Translation supplied by Mr. X transmitted secretly from his hiding place: I will volunteer.)

Squeaky

[Affiliate 008]

I too will volunteer for the jury. And I promise I will not use this trial as a springboard to set up my organization's conquest of the boards.

[Orpheus42]

Two duckies on one jury? Is the world ready for this? :rofl:

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

What of the legality of multiple personalities on the same jury? Couldn't they be affected by their alter egos performing other duties??

[Orpheus42]

What multiple personalities? All my alter egos use the same username now.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Orpheus42]

I wouldst be willing to serve on thy jury. I have been an ally of Flannel in the past but I have also been involved with a duel involving him so I doth believe I couldst be trusted to give an impartial decision based solely on the evidence.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ from the Villa of Evans,

Orpheus

[Flannel Avenger]

There seems to be an awful lot of jurors from Evansville around here....

[Orpheus42]

I see two- Orpheus and the Affiliate. Heather and Sean haven't posted in this thread.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[bigkat]

oooo, I want to do it! I don't know what it is or what I'm supposed to do because I never understand what's going on, but I still want to do it!

[Flannel Avenger]

You quack me up.

[Sir Shaun]

ok so here then is the list of jurors at this point in time...

Solja
Crossrythm
Faeroeisle
Ducky
Squeaky
Affiliate 008
Orpheus42
Bigkat

Buttefly if you wish to join the jury you may.
Crossrythm If you are summoned to testify or anything you must do so. The only way you would be made to leave the jury is if one of the defense or prosecutors would object to your presence.
Also in the matter of multiple poster the IHCofC has rekognized the sovereign right of people to post as more than one person before and we will not ban that right now.

Your duties involve keeping up to date in reading the thread about a trial to ban flannel forever. You may not discuss the case untill I tell you it is time to deliberate. Also since you have all volunteered I am sure you have superior moral standards and will have no problem not reading about the trial in other threads but if you do just don't let what you here outside the courtroom bias your opinion based on the facts presented you.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[Flannel Avenger]

That's 8, we still need 4 more.

[bigkat]

Can I say guilty yet or do I have to wait til later?

[Flannel Avenger]

:mad:

[faeroeisle]

you will be telling us the exact name of the thread we are to read, i suppose? i want to make sure i don't accidentaly read the wrong one.

[crossrhythm]

It's called "Big huge trial.... could outlaw flannel forever...more inside....."

[faeroeisle]

thank you..... so that's the only one, right?

[crossrhythm]

So far as I know.

[Nicole]

I'll be on the silly jury - this means that i'm actually gonna have to read the trial though - oh well! ;) :D

[Flannel Avenger]

YAY!!

[butterfly]

Okay, I'll be on the jury too. That makes ten, you only need two more!

[crossrhythm]

Only one more, since Candice has since joined.

[Flannel Avenger]

You're assuming that all the jurors are acceptable to the prosecution and defense.

[bigkat]

If we make my vote count for 2 votes, then we're all set!

[Flannel Avenger]

You'll have to discuss that with my attorney.

And Crystal has volunteered to be on the Jury, so we don't need you to cast 2 votes :D

[Solja Slim]

Question: if there is a point in the testimony or evidence which confuses me, as a juror can I ask a question to clarify?

[bigkat]

Do we get meals? How much do we get paid each day? Do we get paid milage? It's usually like $.29/mile isn't it? Someone let me know where this is taking place so that I can calculate my milage. And Mexican food is fine with me. Or barbecue, that'll work too.

[Pensee]

I would like to be a juror. :biggrin:

[Sir Shaun]

SIlince in the jury box.

The jury is now closed.
It is full.

The list of jurors is as follows:
Solja
Crossrythm
Faeroeisle
Ducky
Squeaky
Affiliate 008
Orpheus42
Bigkat
Heavenly Princess
Butterfly
Candice
Crystal19

Now then you are free to roam about durring the trial but when the time comes fro belidberation then I must ask that you all remain in the deliberation room untill such a time as you have reached your verdict. Also I would ask that at this time you all elect a foreperson to represent you in the court. Also if you have any questions or are completely confused is suppose you can ask questions. Meals will be provided curtosy of the refridgerator in your home. Also the International High Consolate will reimberse you for milleage traveled between posts. For this though you must submit a form A-9473-bac filled out in triplicate and filed with the IHCofC and also notarized by the court recorder.

That is all for now I belive.
When you all have decided on a foreperson please notify me.

Thanks,
Sir shaun

[Ducky]

Uh oh....
Sir Shaun I just realized I'll be gone for the holidays from the 22nd to the 30th... will this be a problem?
*Ducky* (:>( )<
AKA Sarah

[Sir Shaun]

No not at all...

You see one of the great things boutt he IHCofC is we have the policy of preannounced excused absences. Since you have notified us you will be gone in advance then it is fine.

Do not worry I am sure you won't miss mutch and if you do you can always read what you miss when you return.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[Ducky]

*PHEW!*
Thanks Your Honour
*Ducky* (:>( )<
AKA Sarah

[crossrhythm]

I will probably be gone from the 21st until about the 6th as well. I'll be going home, and though we have a computer, I may not have time to check back here. I will try, however, to check the boards from time to time during my absence, so if anything important happens, I should be able to respond.

[butterfly]

I would like to nominate bigkat as foreperson for the jury.

[Vinnie]

Excuse me but the Tyrant was sick and he now wants to be on the jury. We should have 13 as Flannel expected 12 and 13 throws it off so there is no tampering.

If I can't I wish to serve as a stand-bye juror in case the defense or prosecuters omit anyone.

[Flannel Avenger]

The Tyrant is already a part of the prosecution!

[Orpheus42]

No, Sir Vincent is the prosecutor. The Tyrant is a different person. Just as Orpheus and I are different persons.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

As it was the Tyrant who originally made the allegations being tried here, he has no place on the jury.

[faeroeisle]

i too will be absent. i will be gone from the 21st-28th.

[bigkat]

[Orpheus42]

I shalt secondeth that.

[Vinnie]

I the Tyrant third the vote and demand a spot on the jury!

Having orcs burst into the courtroom could be cause for some good amusement ;)

[crossrhythm]

I cast my vote in favor of bigkat.

[Flannel Avenger]

*thinks, maybe we should let the Tyrant in on the jury, if he calls his orks into the courtroom, Sir Shaun will surely hold him in contempt...*

[butterfly]

I don't think you can let the plaintiff be on the jury.

[Flannel Avenger]

I already said that, but the Tyrant keeps asking. But if he did summon his orcs into the courtroom, then it would greatly help my case...

[butterfly]

Well, unless Sir Vincent calls them to testify, then it would be perfectly legal.

[Flannel Avenger]

Yes, do that. I would like to see what the Scarecrow does to an Orc on cross examination

[butterfly]

Um, come to think of it, I'm not really allowed to be discussing the trial with you. I completely forgot I was on the jury. Oops. :blush:

[Flannel Avenger]

Well, technically, the trial hasn't started yet.

[butterfly]

Yes, but it would still be unethical. Sooo.....how's the weather in Raleigh?

[Flannel Avenger]

It's been cloudy, and humid, and rainy. And it was 70 degrees today. Very abnormal. It doesn't feel like Christmas time.

What is the weather like in Canada?

[butterfly]

Well, we had a huge windstorm last night that knocked out all the power and a whole bunch of trees. It was soooooo cool! It's still pretty blustery right now though it died down a bit in the afternoon. And it's cold! We've had snow twice but both times it rained the next day and turned it all to slush....ick. Most of the time it's pouring rain and freezing cold, though not quite cold enough to turn it to snow, except on the mountains of course. They're having an excellent ski season apparently. I'm not much of a skier though so if I get a chance to go up there during the holidays, I'll probably just go toboganning. :biggrin: That's the one thing I miss about the east coast, we always had snow there. *sigh* :(

[Ducky]

Hey Butterfly - I'm going to my aunt & uncles in Fairmont - I finally get a White Christmas!!! Never spent Christmas away from the coast before... though sometimes it's white, but not usually... we're supposed to get snow tomorrow eh?
*Ducky* (:>( )<
AKA Sarah
PS - Isn't the wind crazy?

[Vinnie]

I demand to be on the jury.

*puts orcs and trolls on standbye*

[Flannel Avenger]

Oh no, whatever you do don't anger Sir Shaun and the IHCofC against you, o powerful tyrant...

[butterfly]

Ya, we're supposed to get 2-4 cm tonight, big whoop. I want at least a foot darnit! Didn't we have a white Christmas a few years back? I can't remember which year it was but I remember there being tons of snow, even for eastern standards. It shut down the whole city. Of course, you may not have gotten as much on the island. Yes that wind was crazy! Apparently there were still some areas without power today and a bunch of streets downtown were closed because of fallen trees. It was so neat though cause we rarely ever get interesting weather like that. It's always cloudy with showers, cloudy with rain cloudy with, well, you get the drift!

[Vinnie]

Statistically I think my region has a 25% chance each year for a white Christmas. I think that comes from archived climatological data or sumthin ;)

[Ducky]

Butterfly: Personally I don't think it's gonna happen, at least not in Vic. I was actually in the Lower Mainland a few years ago (3 I think) the few days before Christmas when we got the snowstorm - Didn't know if I'd be able to catch the ferry home! We were driving on that main road by Metrotown (forget the name). It was CRAZY!!! But NOTHING like the blizzard of '96! 'Course that was in Jan or Feb but THAT was somethin' else. I lived in a little town up island so of course we were like the LAST people to get power back!!! But we had a wood stove so it didn't really matter that much, except that we had to provide water for my aunt & uncle who had a well... We tend to get less rain (and snow) in Vic than anywhere else in the province... even 45 mins away gets a lot more than here! It's always pretty windy here though, so this wind isn't that unusual for us... funny how the weather can vary so much over a small area.... (Is it true that people in the Lower Mainland don't tan, just rust???) :) Kidding!
*Ducky* (:>( )<
AKA Sarah

[butterfly]

LOL, I'd say that rust is a fairly accurate description. Yes, the weather varies a lot. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to school which is just at the bottom of the hill. We'd had snow the night before. When I left it was hailing at my house, snowing at the train station and raining at my school. What's weird is that they take the weather measurements for our city at the airport which is the driest spot in all of the Lower Mainland, so we only rank about 5th in the country for rain. If they took the measurements closer to the coast we'd probably come first, well, we might come behind Tofino, that place is crazy for rain. You've been to Metrotown? Ick, I hate metrotown! It's always so crowded. I stay clear of there as much as possible.

[Orpheus42]

The Tyrant is not the prosecution or the plaintiff. This trial is being administered by the IHCofC, Sir Vincent is the prosecutor. The Tyrant has no role in this trial whatsoever. The only way he could is if Sir Shaun allows the jury to be expanded to include him. Further slander by the Flannel one against our noble Sir Vincent will surely warrant disciplinary action by the Console.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

I said nothing of Sir Vincent.

And by the Tyrant's own testimony, he was the first to make the allegations against me.

[Vinnie]

The Tyrant fears no one!

[Flannel Avenger]

What of God?

[Orpheus42]

You have in the past accused Sir Vincent of being a puppet for the Tyrant, and your current allegations regarding the Tyrant being the plaintiff/prosecutor/whatever echo that allegation strongly. The Tyrant legally has no place in the trial, so even bringing up any past allegations he may have made have no place with regards to the trial. Because the jury is full, it matters not unless Sir Shaun makes a decree. However, if the Tyrant would be on the jury, you would have no room to complain. And I dare say, this court will be much more fair than your previous court in which you tried the Tyrant.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

Scripture is ****ogical and anthropomorphic. Divine "babytalk" ;)

[Flannel Avenger]

The Tyrant is biased. That is enough to keep him off the jury.

[Orpheus42]

That is a decision that is not yours to make.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

I, and my council, are allowed to object to potential jurors. Read the rules. Good grief, you accuse me of being tyrantlike...

[Vinnie]

The Tyrant will force his way onto the jury if need be!

[Orpheus42]

Not being tyrantlike. Do not put words in my mouth. I accused you of sticking your foot where there is not a foothold reserved for you. You have no authority in this decision, that is the decision over the process of selecting jurors. Anything you therefore say trying to influence that will be annoying and likely cause people to be less sympathetic to your cause. Luckily for you, we at the Console are generally able to overlook such things. However, your repeated attempts to undermine our authority will most likely only be seen as evidence against you in the trial.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

I do have a say. I shall consult with counsel and the Tyrant shall NEVER be allowed on a jury.

[Sir Shaun]

Hear then the words of the SUpreme Chancellor.

The Jury has been closed for many days.
Tyrant if you proceed with these demands of being allowed on the jury then I shall allow charges of jury tamperingt o be brought against you. I asked for volunteers for the jury and you had yyour chance just like everyone else did but you waited to long to speek up. I am sorry but your request for a thirteenth position is denied. You may however seek to aid the prosecutor as a deputy prosecutor or something... possibly a character witness but you will not be allowed on the jury. I am sorry for any problems this may cause with your plans of destroying the flannel clad one.

*orcs pillage through the flannel headquarted and steal all the work the scarecrow has done thus far concerning the case*

I the Tyrant, will impede this trial until allowed on the jury.

Tyranny Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!! :redhotmad

[Flannel Avenger]

You dare flaunt the words of the Supreme Chancellor?? I think we can all clearly see who it is that wants to destroy the IHCofC now!

[Vinnie]

Unlike you I do not deny my thoughts. Long ago would I have easily destroyed the IHCofC and the SSIRA but it is more fun to have them around ;)

I will destroy all who oppose Tyranny!!!!

Tyranny Lives!!!!

[Flannel Avenger]

Big words from a little tyrant

I would not further provoke the Tyrant if I were you! :redhotmad :somad: :p

[Flannel Avenger]

:yawn: :yawn:

[Orpheus42]

See, Flannel? When you let the due process run its course, you will find that the IHCofC does indeed act in a noble and upright manner. I trust that you will now stop your troublesome meddling and let the process of justice take place.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Sir Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

I hope that you do not expect me to turn my back on the Tyrant, or turn a blind eye to his treacherous dealings. However, I have a backup plan that doesn't involve the IHCofC...

[Orpheus42]

Paranoia is a way of life for you, isn't it?

[Breni Sue]

He has a right to be. Have you ever seen the size of those Orcs?? :eek:

[Nicole]

is this the thread where we post our leave of abscense from the jury?


oh well..it is now!


I'll be gone till Sunday afternoon!

I would like to be a witness in the case to help out the Flannel one, if only I knew what the tiral was about?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Goes off to read more threads. Leaving and then coming back weeks later is not a god idea....

[Flannel Avenger]

It's about the Tyrant accusing me of trying to overthrow the SSIRA and IHCofC and become Tyrant in his place. However, the accusations are baseless and I will win the trial easily.

[Katie_543]

Yes, I just finished reading the trial thread. When you are brought up to testify you shall easily win. I have confidence in you. :biggrin:

[Flannel Avenger]

Thank you :)

[The Scarecrow]

coughbumpcough...

just bumping this up as there has been arequest filed and we may need the jury later...

Not that I am saying we do cause we may not...
This is a matter for the consolate to decide and Sir Shaun is taking it to the Global version and not just here as it was a most serious request filed indeed...

Anyway I can not say what it was or who filed it but it is big and big indeed it is...

What's going on, Scarecrow?.......

I know what's going on but I can't say yet as the time has not yet come... We're waiting for the apropriate time for the truth to be unleashed and the request has yet to be voted on... The time will come though and all will be made known.

that does not sound good...

[Flannel Avenger]

*coughMcCarthycough*

[The Scarecrow]

you know the truth of why this was brought back will be made known. it could be something as simple as a change of juror status or possibly any number of other things... or maybe there is something muy importante locked away deep in one of the posts in this thread that someone needs to see. Patience is a virute and virtue is grace and when you put the two together you get a smile upon your face. SO just be patient and keep smiling and all will be made known soon....
