An appeal must be made within 24 hours of notice of a suspension and any submissions must be posted in the Penalty Box within 48 hours of the notice. If 24 hours passes without an appeal, the Member will begin serving his/her suspension. All Members of CB may be involved in the appeal process. The Supreme Adjudicator will render a final decision which may include: a) upholding the original suspension; b) amending the suspension period (either higher or lower); nullifying the suspension. 12. Any Member may ask for a vote to impeach the Supreme Adjudicator. In 30 days, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Supreme Adjudicator should stay in his/her role. During the intermediary period, a thread will be created in Board Announcements, wherein the members of CB may debate the motion to impeach. If the vote is unanimous, the Supreme Adjudicator will be removed immediately and the Member who launched the impeachment motion will be installed as the Interim Supreme Adjudicator. Members including the deposed Supreme Adjudicator will have 14 days to declare their candidacy for Supreme Adjudicator in Board Announcements. 30 days after the deadline for announcement of candidacy, an election will be held. If only one member declares his/her candidacy, he/she will automatically become Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days. If no member declares his/her candidacy, the Interim Supreme Adjudicator will assume the position of Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days after the deadline for candidacy. He/she will be Supreme Adjudicator for a term of one year. If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator. Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty. 16. No member may change his/her Member Name more than ONE time per year up to a maximum of THREE name changes. Name changes will be approved or denied by the discretion of the Supreme Adjudicator or Interim Supreme Adjudicator if applicable. 17. No member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video or audio recording of any other mmber or guest of Chatterb0x without that Member or Guest's expressed written permission. Furthermore, no member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video, or audio recording of any mmber or gest's family members, friends, acquaintances, or colleagues without the expressed written permission of that member or guest. Any violation will lead to an automatic 100 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A subsequent violation will result in a 1,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A third violation will result in a 10,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A fourth violation will result in a 25,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. 18. Under exceptional times of threats (internal and/or external), and backed by a simple majority vote of Members, the Supreme Adjudicator may declare martial law whereby all rules will be immediately suspended. The Supreme Adjudicator will have then been granted full authority for a period of up to 30 days to carry out whatever action(s) he/she deems necessary to protect and preserve the wellbeing of Chatterb0x and its Members. 19. Chatterb0x Election Day will be September 7 of every year. All Active Members as of 9:00 AM Atlantic Time on August 31 will be listed as candidates; at which time the poll will open. Members serving suspensions will not be eligible. The poll will close at 9:00 PM Atlantic Time on September 7. The winner will become Supreme Adjudicator of Chatterb0x at 12:00 AM Atlantic Time on September 8. 20. In the event of a Supreme Adjudicator's resignation, death, or physical/mental incapacity to fulfill the role, the Member with the second amount of votes in the previous Chatterb0x election will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. If there was no sole second place finisher, the previous Supreme Adjudicator will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. The successor will retain his/her Interim Supreme Adjudicator position unless altered via Rules 12, 19, or this Rule. 21. Any member who suggests or actively tries to split up the Slammy Gang will be charged with treason and if convicted by a simple majority vote, be banned from Chatterb0x for life. 22. The threshold for conviction for violations of Rules 3, 5, and 17 is beyond a reasonable doubt. 23. The Supreme Adjudicator has full discretion to edit or delete any posts he/she believes could, did, or are causing instability to Chatterb0x. 24. The Supreme Adjudicator may suspend a member he/she suspects of treasonous or pernicious activity for up to SEVEN days without a formal charge. 25.

Zorba the Greek, a movie released in 1964. This is the last scene of the movie, in which Antony Quinn and Alan Bates dance togheter on the beach. ![]() I watched that movie a couple times some years ago. |

Unfortunately my attempt to re-create the scene looks rather different than the original piece. Edited by Xingador, May 3 2016, 12:42 AM.

The movie should have ended like the book -- with the telegram about the green stone, which symbolized the carefree and impulsive lifestyle championed by Zorba. |

“Look, one day I had gone to a little village. An old grandfather of ninety was busy planting an almond tree. ‘What, grandfather!’ I exclaimed. ‘Planting an almond tree?’ And he, bent as he was, turned around and said: ‘My son, I carry on as if I should never die.’ I replied: ‘And I carry on as if I was going to die any minute.’ Which of us was right, boss?” ― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek |

I like everything Greek. The Greeks have built a successful civilization that has influenced the rest of the world forever, so I think their culture and their religion (either the Dodecatheist Hellenic and the Orthodox Christian ones) were on the right way and are worth our interest. |
