Why would the old school leaders want to congratulate Gassel? They may respect him, but they'd want nothing more than to put him in a box and annex his land and his population. Gassel's loss is their gain, after all.

If he is put on trial, it shouldn't be done as a farce. And I believe it would be if done in the way you suggest.

I say original characters. Now one just has to decide nationalities of said characters.

Because I'm going for a Nuremberg feel for the trial, not a trial by peers.

Also having those characters could prove more disruptive than it would be useful to have them at the trial.

Ah... that would be bureaucratic and dry imo... Just sayin.

Ulgania- you raise a good point :lol:

I realize that, but I intend for there to be excitement. Won't go into it at this juncture of course.

I've been through enough in the real world butting egos via parliamentary procedure to know that it's a bad plan, and I get the impression people will be more than willing to RP it as disruptively as they are allowed to :rolleyes:

I'd be willing to put a character forward for the sake of Africa, and my Declaration of African Colonialism document. Some legal ramifications could be worked with there.

I think you are both righ Kas and Ulgania. Never mind what I said. A Nuremberg style tribunal should be quite fun.

Trust me, there is a method to my madness in going Nuremberg on him. There will be some fun disruption...

EDIT-

Oh indeed.... :gnarkgnark:

I did name a lot of nations, and most likely not everyone will have the time to sign on to the panel because of RL reasons, so perhaps we can consolidate nations into categories (maybe by region?) and pick two or three from each.

I like the idea of doing in Genesis City... and Nag may contradict me but it was my understanding that the Caesar was not the same as the Pope-Emperors since traditionally they were of the royal blood and Antonio was not. However, even if he does claim the title, I know that Neither New Harumf nor the Cardinal currently in Northern Georgia recognize him as such and are still of the opinion that the royal blood should be restore. On that note I know I for one have two royals waiting to return to power. But that's for a different discussion at a different place.

I like the regional judges idea. The Dominion's activities would be better addressed that way.

That goes along with my above post nicely. Also since yah structured the Dominion's stance differently for every region, it makes sense.

I'm curious about how the Americas would be handled

It's a multi-person trial, yes? What of the rebellion? The Nuremberg trial - some say - should have had Americans on board as they were responsible for the unnecessary annihilation of Dresden, and other things of the sort. Just wondering how Veicht would be treated, or anyone else for that matter.

Same goes for former Dominion higher-ups.

Everyone of the 52 VIPs will be going on trial, and then some.

Whether or not each trial is RP'd out is up to others, though Gassel and other top leaders will go last, so that they can get everyone else out of the way before dealing with the big fish.

As for others being put on trial, who is there?

Wait, all 52? I was under the assumption at least a handful would get away.....I mean who else would there be left to hunt?

Some will obviously have to be tried in absentia. :lol:

Did Himmler or Goebbels get that treatment even though they were dead? Because some of those guys are gonna be dead by the end of the war...

Hmm regarding the Nazis I don't think there were trials in absentia for those who were absent from this mortal existence. As much as I think that that totally should've been done. (I'm consistently for the over the top drama and unnecessary symbolism as you can tell)

Do we have a 100% nuteral country anywhere? Otherwise, I would like to see a Neurenburg type trial done by the combined military of the major countries, in a city within the Dominion, perhaps Zapht itself. No pirates, no Amish, no Nagians, no Assassins, etc. regardless of their help in the final defeat of the Dominion - they were allies at one time. There were no Italians judging at Neurenburg. Or French. Or Austrians. Or Russians.

That is a good point and would make sense. The more I think about it it seems more likely that the judges of the panel would come from anywhere but the Middle East and Asia as they were the heaviest in aiding support to the Dominion and the longest under their control. Certainly there are those that disliked the Dominion, but I mean there has to be a bigger piece of the population (perhaps especially among the youth as seen in Germany) that will still have sympathy towards the Dominion guard when they go to trial.

I think a panel from the Americas, Africa, and Europe seems more appropriate since I image they'll be the heaviest involved in the war to bring down the Dominion.

Agreed, though where would Kasnyians fit in that? I understand perfectly if it would seem inappropriate for the Kasnyians to sit on the judges panel, but I have to ask if that is actually the case.

There were two judges for each of the four occupying powers of Germany, according to wikipedia. One normal judge and one alternate.
