Makes sense. Withdraw the judge. |

While Nag Ehgoeg is far from eligible to send a judge... I could certainly provide either a Solomon like unbiased person beyond reproach... or a raving madman who wants to see Gassel dead. I have no great desire to be involved, and I'm aware it might be unfair to have a Nagian judge, but if we're short on numbers I don't mind stepping up. Don't mind leading the charge, sitting back and watching or providing some (dark) comic relief. But I certainly don't want to force out an eligible judge "just to take part". Just here if you want me. |

I hate to volunteer, but it makes sense. After the withdrawal from Syria, Ireland takes up a neutral stance in the war. A judge is supposed to be neutral, so Eire is at the justice system's service if need be. |

NEW IDEA Five judges/jury members as mentioned, but then a second group. A body of various people representing various countries around the world, Dominion or not, that just sit there. While the five judges have full control over the proceedings, the other body could use parliamentary procedure to make statements/ask for a certain direction by the judges to take the discussion. If the judges can agree that the crowd's questions/statements/requests are too disruptive, they can boot whoever they want. Plus there would be a general agreement for the crowd to remain quiet and civil (IC and OOC). It could be one way for people who represent other countries (either the state, officially, or the peolpe unofficially) to be able to convene without preexisting politics forcing them to be at odds with one another. Just kicking it around though |

If the others agree, I say go for it. Remember guys, Gassel isn't going to be the only one on trial. And an Irish Judge sounds good, to be coupled with either the Yvenlais judge or the Russian judge... Edited by Kasnyia, Jul 2 2009, 02:11 PM.

You mean 5 judges and then a couple of onlookers? Would they be like a jury with their vote affecting the judges decision, or nothing more than observers? |

Yeah, they don't have any technical power, but can add to a discussion |

If were still going by the rules of a military Tribunal (even though there will be 5 judges) then onlookers will be encouraged to come. An International assembly of people, whether they be civilian or military, probably should be allowed in bulk. I also beleive they should be given rotten tomato's, for throwing at Gassel of course. :P |

Um....considering that Sao Tome Prison will be under the control of a relatively rogue state, post-Dominion, where could I imprision Gassel...and all the other prisoners for that matter. Should I RP the construction of a new prison? |

With the new Kybelis maps, I was thinking of expanding and taking a few very isolated islands. I could easily volunteer one of those islands. Or we could send him to St. Helena :P |

The Knights of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem, although absorbed into New Harumf, do still operate their prison in Antarctica. |

I may take you up on that offer (Sorry Porcu, but I don't think anyone IC can trust your nation to keep him) if I don't get more offers. |

Anyone have or could build an Oubliette specifically for Gassel. Since he's going to prison, it should be in style... |

Don't really know where else to stick this thought I just had but here. Is anyone else mildly concerned about the level of xenophobia and rabid nationalism that's starting to be RPed since the post-Dominion world has been pieced together? Just wondering how it'll effect post-post-Dominion RP. |

Do you mean concerned OOC or concerned IC? I think its understandeable that after a world empire like the Dominion, nations may be somewhat xenophobic as they prefer to look inward than outward, or alternatively, as wartime alliances of disparate powers start breaking. Out of curiosity, what are some of the examples that concern you? |

IC isolationism. I saw Quaon's new topic, and I was thinking of Porcu, Imperial Kasniya, and Marslava. It just seems like there's going to be a lot of IC action devoted to many countries not having any relations. Maybe I'm just hallucinating again. But, this is why I've been RPing countries having international goals in the post-Dominion world, in order to keep the post-post-Dominion world alive. |

I see. Well, personally, I have an active and robust post-Dominion foreign policy. The empire is determined to maintain a strong web of alliances and allegiances to make sure it never again suffers the humiliation of being conquered. |

"Post-Dominion" Nag Ehgoeg will be very active. Post Dominion. Seeing as the future history for Post Dominion Nag Ehgoeg hinges on several pivotal plotlines that have yet to be RPed. |

Kasnyia will go into xenophobia for IC reasons that are obvious, but OOC its just so that I can take a break since college starts in a week for me. |
