Our very own EoFF trial

Alright, Jebus and I are planning to do a trial here on EoFF. However, we haven't decided whether it should be done on the forums or in chat. Anyway, we both need some help so we can pull this off. As for now, we don't have a crime to make a case on if we're going to do a trial, so we need to make it EoFF related.

So far, Jebus and I are committed, where I will be the defense attorney, and Jeebs will be the prosecuter. What we need are the following:

A judge
A defendant
A victim (Will likely be dead for the case)
Several witnesses
The real suspect
A detective
A bailiff
A jury of twelve. (Probable, unless we are going to stick with the PW game and use the Judge's verdict)

If you would like to help, please inform us the best time for us to do this if we're going to do this in #eoff if you have access to chat.

Post it on the forums and put me on the jury.

May I be the judge?

i wanna be victim!

I wanna be an eye witness!!!

I would also like to contend for the judges spot.

I totally called bailiff the other night!

(but I'm going for it again!)

I want to be a witness, damn victim is taken.

If there's competition (not just "who asks first"), I'll try out and own you all for the judges spot.

Victim! n.n

I think we'd all rather see you be brutally murdered actually, Raisin.

Contempt of court! *bans Dan*

Judges don't ban people for contempt of court.

I'll be one of the jury peoples. I'll be the insanely unjustified, and cruel racist dude, like jurors 3/10 from Twelve Angry Men. Or the cool one from the ghetto who has found his way out from the hood, like juror 5.

No, they throw them in jail. Which is a bit difficult for a forum, so I improvised. :p

Judges don't throw anybody in jail, you silly. And if you are charged with contempt of court, your trial would not even be with the same judge whose court you were in contempt of.

There, the obvious choice, Raistlin, has no knowledge of the legal system, so now there will be a public outcry if he is chosen. Proto is dismayed, as now he has to choose someone unpredictable. WHAT WILL HE DO?

Dan is obviously Bailiff material. xD

We're not talking about defendents being held in contempt. And yes, people held in contempt of court can (and often are) put in jail. :p Unless your freaky British legal system is totally whacked out.

I wanna be on the jury, btw, please. :)

Every good jury needs attractive eye candy.

Defendants, grammar boy.

Contempt of court is an offence. What happens in between someone committing an offence and them being thrown in jail? They go on trial. This makes them a defendant. Of course they're put in jail. The judge doesn't throw them in there though. The police officers in attendance do that. :strut:

We should choose the judge how judges are really chosen, ie we get the Queen to choose. Now, I don't mean to brag, but my personal relationship with Her Majesty (I met her once!) means I am head and shoulders above you riff-raff.

You bastard and your semantics. Okay, the judge tells the police officers to throw him in jail.

And since Proto and Jebus are both (I think) American, we should go with someone who knows the much more sane, much better American legal system. :p

Too bad our system is based on the English legal system...
Of course, ours is obviously much better.

It's fortunate that I studied both legal systems in what us quaint folk from over-the-pond call "college" then, isn't it?

We call it "college" too, you know. I guess someone didn't pass the English 101 course.

British college is from 16-18, instead of the last 2 years of high school that we take. Then they go to Uni which is our college. British college is more of specific studies, like University/American College, except it's not University.

I think you're all missing the most important point, which is that I chose the caviar lunch box.

That's got to be the wierdest thing I've ever heard of.
In which case, I retract my original statement.

Unless "remedial" is a new word over in Europe, like boot is to trunk, or flat to apartment.

It's nothing like the last two years of American high school though, in that it's much more specialised and doesn't have people running around calling themselves "seniors". And it's optional.

I wanna be a juror, but if you decide to not do jurors I wanna be a detective! ;D

Yay, three women and one guy. Things can't possibly get any better.

Epiphany is a manly man, what're you talking about?

Who said I was male?

Raistlin told me. I think this is proof enough that his judgement is faulty. :holmes:

>:O

See look, angry face. That's good for a prosecutor!

I told you no such thing, you lying bastard. >=o

Judge's don't swear, you fail.

Judges swear all the time. Just not while court is in session. :p

Nice going, Raistlin. I tried to defend you and you fail me once again. UR FIRA-ED.

The cast so far.
Judge(s): Psychotic, Kyono, or Raistlin
Defendant: Spiffing Cheese, or Bert
Victim: Denmark (oh noes), Bladen, or Ramza Beoulve
Witnesses (5 max): Black Angel, Bladen, SammieBabe, Burtsplurt, Shiny_Griever, edczxcvbnm
Detective: themagicroundabout
Bailiff: rubah
Jury of twelve: Ballistix Man, Tavrobel, Rye, Faris, Epiphany, Lost Number, Shauna, project X, DarkLadyNyara, Bad Karma, Jess, Tama2

NOTE: Once the twelve jurors and five witnesses' spots have been filled, both will be closed for casting. The rest can have several candidates, but overall, Jebus and I will decide on who gets the role.

I call the Pauly Shore-esque role of the jury!
We get paid 5$ a day, right?

If this is going to be in chat why is it being posted about in the forums?

It may not be a chat thing, however, the likelyhood that it will be a chat thing is diminishing since no one posted anything about what time they would be available for chat. :/

Because chat sucks and nobody intelligent goes there, so they have to advertise here.

EDIT: Or that.

Oh, for available times, weekends are bad for me, as I'm usually gone for almost all of every weekend.
During the week I'm pretty much good for anytime.

Jury please, if there is any places left. Almost all times, 6-9pm GMT mostly.

Could I be the detective? Please? :excited:

i would love to be a part of this, sadly, i haven't the time to dedicate to it.

Can I be the defendant? :cool:

Hmm, Jury please! :cool:

Oh great.

Could I be on the jury? :greenie:

I obviously have to be the defendant.

Can I be on the jury? :D

Ill be a Juror. As for chat or forums, I prefer forum... but if it's chat... today... or.. uhh sometime next thursday...? ><

Can I be the candle stick?

I'll be on the Jury If needed

EDIT: Actually I'll help in any role so you can choose :)

Heh. I can see where Proto's life is going. He'll become a defense attorney because of how much he enjoyed Phoenix Wright! :D

I want to be the guy who paints pictures of trials for no obvious reason.

We could use some more witnesses. That's the fun part!

I'm in. A witness sounds cool. However my chat availability is pretty bad. :( But I would be willing to submit a sworn deposition as my testimony...:)

I'll be a witness.

"It was Raistlin." Easy.

Well, I wanted to be a detective but I guess I'll opt for a witness if you need more.

Can I be a witness, or a jury? :O

I will be a witness! WAAAAAH HA HA HA HA! This should be good. PM me the details...if this is going to be a chat thing they screw it. I don't have time for that.

And one more for the jury, and we should have all spots filled. With that taken care of, Jebus and I should decide who take the roles of the Judge, defendant, and victim

I'll do it!
