Jeabus Mahogany, I have seen you refuse to surrender in the face of adversity and put up with a tremendous amount of horseshit. I therefore ask you to be my defense counsel

100Yrs has been picked as Jury Foreman.

Please make your selection of GUILTY or NOT GUILTY for peramene. You may do so in private via PM or in public.

You must also choose today's Judge.

The Jury may still deliberate in the meantime.

LADIES. GENTLEMEN. OTHER LADIES. OTHER GENTLEMEN.

This day sees us all here to determine the veracity of our very souls in this, the noble court of law. The Gods have seen fit to decree that my honorable client, peramene, be the first to have their heart weighed upon the scales of justice. But I have vowed to defend my client's prestige, and I say WE NEED NO SCALES. My client's innocence is most surely self-evident. Lay your cases before me, and I, Defense Lawyer Jeabus Mahogany, shall knock them all down.

As for my guess, and note it's a guess, I think peramene will be found Guilty. You seem like a blood-thirsty lot.

I stress it's a guess, because as always I wish to remain purely objective in the following proceedings. It's just the rabble I think we oughta fear.

And lastly, how can you, pera, so quickly declare your innocence? I want proof that you're a law-abiding citizen that no one has to fear.

To the others, pera seems to value hard-headed tenacity. Is fighting-like-a-caged-rat indicative of anything? Why would an innocent player not feel confident in putting their fate in the hands of the reliable state apparatus?

My husband does the beating, he broke a loving riding crop across my back once. It was hot af tbh.

also idk but were you trying to make the "do you still beat your wife" joke??

With respect to the Foreman, I've seen the nittiest and the grittiest of life and let me tell you: my record isn't spotless. I have done bad things to good people. But I have turned over a new leaf, I did my time, and now I intend to contribute to society in meaningful ways. But my past haunts me and our esteemed jury is quick to judge, especially upon the first day of proceedings - which means I need tenacious counsel.

I'd like to enter a plea of not guilty and, if convicted anyway, request a lesser sentence, such that I might have time to prove myself.

guilty with a lesser sentence sounds good to me. I'm always in favor of the allowing the accused the opportunity to defend themselves, especially this early in the game.

though, tbh, it might be better to kill someone else and have me use the cop on them instead? I assume I'll be protected by the doc tonight if that happens, so we can have the investigation results without needing the flip

The onus is on the accuser to present the first evidence. Until that happens, I see no reason for my client to address this statement.

The fact that she has done so regardless is evidence that her soul bears no tarnish!

Growing increasingly uncomfortable with the half-jokey drive against the defendant, especially as people start voting.


Also, what is stopping the town from systematically declaring people guilty and having the judge order a search on them?

No, we vote for someone as normal. If Pera is dunked, she's found guilty and I get to take one of these actions.

quote:

5. The Judge renders his verdict. If the Defendant is ruled GUILTY by the Jury, the Judge must use one of his [SENTENCE] actions. [SENTENCE] actions include:
    Death (x∞) - Convicted player dies.
    Probation (x1) - Convicted player is jailed for the night.
    Community Service (x1) - Convicted player switches affiliation.
    Retrial (x1) - D.A. picks another defendant and the day begins again.
    Recess (x1) - Go directly to night phase. The Convicted player is the Defendant again tomorrow.
    Acquital (x1) - The Convicted player is ruled Not Guilty.
    Class Action (x1) - Convicted player dies. The day continues as LIGHTS OUT for 24 hours and all voted players immediately die.

If someone other than Pera is dunked, Pera is death proof for a day, and I get to take one of these actions on the player who gets the most votes.


quote:

If the Defendant is ruled NOT GUILTY by the Jury (due to another player receiving the most votes), the Judge must use one of his [INDICTMENT] actions. [INDICTMENT] actions include:
    Death (x3) - Convicted player dies. Please make note that this is only three-shot.
    Trial (x∞) - Convicted player becomes one of two Defendants for the next day.
    Search (x∞) - Convicted player's alignment is revealed to the Judge alone.
    Seizure (x1) - Convicted player becomes a stump. They do not flip or die, but lose affiliation, powers, and win condition.

I think nothing, and that it's the correct play. In the absence of a result fingering someone as scum, put up a townie player as defendant, have someone else be the plurality vote, and have the judge investigate them
