Raven: Thank you for the nomination, but I must respectfully decline. I am actually in trial in real life and time is at a premium at the moment. Maybe next term around I will be able to participate more fully and could consider holding office then. Gaidynne

Raven: I am perplexed by your unwillingness to carry out the Court's duties. There have been at least two requests for Judicial Review, and I think possibly more exist but am too lazy at the moment to look for them. For both my Request and JoeHarker's, specific violations of Yasutan law...

DaveShack: You make a great point. I don't slavishly advocate that every gameplay session requires a novel for a summary. In fact, I want just enough to let me quickly figure out what has happened, so that I can know how it affects our game. A single turn session should probably have...

Raven: I understand your point about the impropriety of using a Judicial Review to address a class of conduct. I think you may overstate your point, as there are many possible examples of such conduct which I bet your Court would leap to stop. Nonetheless, your effort to avoid Judicial...

I wanted to echo the sentiment expressed by Methos and donsig Our Designated Players should endeavor to make their work readily available to Citizens. A reasonably detailed summary should take just a couple of minutes to read. It shouldn't require that a Citizen jump back and forth from the...

Lockes: I may be mistaken, but I believe it is the Judiciary's job to determine whether a Citizen or a Citizen's action has violated existing Yasutan law. I have posted a Request for Judicial Review. I have identified, specifically, the law at issue. I have asked whether that law has...

Having posted the Request for Judicial Review on this subject, I will admit that the subject is important to me. Before I post my opinions on the issue, let me take a second to state why I feel this matter is vital to our Democracy Game. We have many different types of Citizens in the DG...

Raven: First, let me thank you for acknowledging my request for Judicial Review. I posted it a few days ago and while Octavian mentioned it on April 3rd, I was beginning to worry because none of the Judiciary had actually done anything yet. I am aware that there is no strict timeline...

To All Members of the Court: I do hereby request a Judicial Review on the conduct (past and future) of the Designated Players for the Nation of Yasutan. Specifically, what is required of a Designated Player following a game play session and have those requirements been complied with in the...

General -- If possible could we get a summary of the turns you played. I know its more work for you, but sifting through the chatlog to glean the actual highlights of game play is very tedious. Thanks in advance for your efforts. Gaidynne

Skipper, I think you did a great job of laying out the issue for everyone to consider. However, I think that you are being a touch paternalistic. If a voter is so weak willed that they will make their vote simply to back a winner, they why do we need to protect them from themselves...

Ravensfire, I would hope that the member of the Judiciary invalidating a poll would explain why she/he took that action. By doing so, our Citizens could begin to learn what makes a poll improper. We would also develop a more substantial set of precedents for judging the validity of future...

Falcon, Nice work on the turn chat summary. Thanks for your efforts. Gaidynne

I was very impressed with the log that Methos the last time around. It concisely laid out the most important developments during his session of play. If you could replicate that, I would be appreciative. Thanks, Gaidynne

Chieftess -- Was the Chatlog you linked above the only one you prepared? If so, do you plan on preparing a more user friendly chatlog at some point in the very near future? Thanks in advance for your reply, Gaidynne
