No, I haven't read the court procedures. I have a lawyer. It's his job to do that.
I would recommend that, except that the anonymous citizen has instead requested for me to be officially declared incompetant. Normally if something like this happens I ask for it to be fixed in the instructions or if the players even care. And if I didn't notice, I have a thread where such complaints can be filed. No action was taken until now, and there still isn't actually any effort being made to take action. Basically, the situation is fine, but the plaintiff wishes for me to be punished anyway.
Article N also says citizens have to rights to anything not forbidden by forum rules or the constitution. Nowhere in the constitution says citizens can't name a city each.
On that basis we all have right to free pie. Where's my pie?
The right to a city name is not guaranteed in the consitution, and thus it can't exactly hold up in court. Besides, both players got their city names as requested. So its a mute point.
So you are basically saying you made another "mistake"?
If you look in the CNO thread, this is definetly not the first time you have made a so called "mistake"
Those mistakes were all caught at the time (unlike this), and all fixed (which is not being asked here). They were all on purpose, and obviously so (I don't think I ever said "oops" when I tried to get more Japanese and geographical names). Here its perfectly obvious what happened was a clear mistake, especially since the name was itself Japanese, unlike the one it was swiched with. I've explained how the mistake was made.
And this does cause harm, as you can see in the CNO thread, you claimed no one cares about city names, but many people countered that and said they did, so it does matter to those people.
Yes, and in all those cases someone complained before they were even acted on and insisted they were fixed. In this case the citizen complained months later, and didn't even ask for it to be fixed. Usually when something causes harm you don't sit on it for months. You try to fix it immediately, which what all the victims of the intentional changes did.
To sum up the comparison: Those cases were intentional, public, obvious, non-malicious (if you look I did them to make the names fit the civilization and geography), noticed immediately, and fixed. This case was unintnetional, not announced, barely noticable, clearly accidental (I explained how I made the mistake, what more do you want?), not noticed until months later, and, by all accounts, just fine.
However I believe that if Epimethius posts in the TCIT, then he must follow the WOTP, which he did not.
I didn't? Where didn't I? I assigned names according to what I assumed was chronological order. The People never told me to do it that way. The people never requested what city they should get. I made a mistake that had about as much to do with the Will of the People as this case has to do with the constitution: none what so ever.
As an unelected, extraconstitutional, organizational official, my instructions have no power at all, and, logically, nor do the people over me (though I did actually have some polls, anyway). I cannot be blamed for this mistake constitutionally, because I have no real power.
However I believe that if Epimethius posts in the TCIT, then he must follow the WOTP, which he did not.
I suggest you consult with your client, since all he/she wants is "to have Epimethius proven for obvious misconduct in handling the simplest of the simplest tasks, either to extreme incompetence, or by motivated intent to harm a political rival." He/She never said anything about wanting me thrown out (not that I'd mind, I'm trying to leave the game) or fixing the city names.
he has too much unchecked power, all that someone can do if they believe he is wrong is to CC him, which was done
I don't have any power. I have no constitutional power. My instructions have no power. I haven't used any power for ages. When I did it didn't change anything important anyway. And when I abused it, things were set right quickly. That statement was laughable.
As I see it, if the plaintiff doesn't even consider the issue serious enough to want it fixed, why should I receive any punishment for it whatsoever?
