Not only, it appears, do we not have a defence attorney, we don't have prosecuting attorney.Trial will be adjourned for a further 48-60 hours. I hope Kass is not going down with Ade's...........complaint

The situation to date is a trial with, in all likelihhod Lemmy going down for 15 -20 years.

Frankychan · October 20, 2002, 21:39

*runs back inside*

Ok I'm back to start my takeover of TBIBTU and UN Pizza Delivery....seeing as how only TKG and I live in UNPD.

Kassiopeia · October 20, 2002, 21:40

Nah, Ade's madness is of a bit different variety.

Hercules · October 20, 2002, 21:57

Trial opens at 18.00 hours GMT. Rover parking at zone lemmy16. Pre-trial cocktails at 17.30-17.55 GMT.

Hercules · October 20, 2002, 22:09

*Hercules with begruding regard, leaves Kass ( a solicitor) a few moments to himself*.
To contemplate on recent events.
Life goes on

crap, that wasn't supposed to happen....hey Kass, once i get convicted, you interested in filing an appeal to get me out sooner?

I think we can skip opening statements and just go straight to presenting the evidence.

GeneralTacticus · October 21, 2002, 04:47

What evidence?

Lemmy · October 21, 2002, 04:50

My confession, the stolen credits, witnesses, the evidence planted by me and so on...

My confession,

Your confession could be discounted if it can be proven that you were deranged/threatened/lying at the time(s) you made it (them).

What stolen credits?

Quote:

witnesses,

Who are they?

Quote:

the evidence planted by me

If it's been planted, it's not valid.

FlameFlash · October 21, 2002, 09:04

Ah... and another busy weekend at the RecCommons...

"Now now, don't make silly jokes like that. What will our customers think?"

/me gives a big apoligetic grin to the customers, who are looking suspiciously to the kitchen door.

Method · October 21, 2002, 17:02

i'll think twice about ordering food from here now

Kassiopeia · October 21, 2002, 17:35

Gross.

I'm a bit more stable today. So, Lemmy, now you think you'd have use for my legal advice, but only after you've been convicted? Er, why get convicted in the first place?

Frankychan · October 21, 2002, 23:14

Kass-

After the political takeover by Pro-Hive sympathizers, we will see great changes in the regulation of eating conditions here at this facility.

Firaxis est une compagnie que j'ai fondée avec quelques amis.
L'idée était de revenir à quelque chose de petit. Lorsque Microprose
a démarré, c'était une petite compagnie, et c'était très amusant. En
dix ou douze ans, elle a pris de plus en plus d'importance et à
partir d'un certain moment, il devenait temps de revenir à un environnement
beaucoup plus petit, sans les pressions et les problèmes financiers
d'une grosse compagnie. En gros, le moment était idéal pour créer une
petite société et pour ne plus s'occuper que de jeux.

/me yawns.

I found that the day I bought the game. Shall I add unobservant to your list of titles?

Look at "Brian" also.

FlameFlash · October 22, 2002, 09:51

Grrr...

Anyway... any interesting debates going on anywhere outside of the NGOs?

Pandemoniak · October 22, 2002, 09:54

Shall we send Archaic to exile ?
Shall we declare xenobrew a free right accessible to any citizen aged 12 or more, without any mikrocre' to spend ?
Shall we ask Maniac to at least clean the toilets of the Rec Commons ?

etc...

Kassiopeia · October 22, 2002, 10:55

Maniac should really do something about the restroom. I think the green thing growing behind the urinals that I saw three weeks ago is going to reach sentience and try to overthrow Mankind soon.

Lemmy · October 22, 2002, 12:26

You mean this green thing ->

?

Kassiopeia · October 22, 2002, 12:32

Er, good call, but the green thing has probably grown teeth and tentacles by now. Many tentacles. Though I wonder why, since the local population of Japanese schoolgirls is... well, nonexistant.

FlameFlash · October 22, 2002, 14:44

They're attacking!

Run for your lives!

And the band plays on...

But seriously, are there any social situations going on right now we should be aware of and complain about?

Also, where in the world is the Rec Commons located in the faction? New Apolyton? UN Pizza Delivery? Where?

Kassiopeia · October 22, 2002, 15:57

The RecCommons are hopefully in NeoApolyton since I live there.

Wouldn't mind moving to Zanarkand Gate or ThisBaseIsbElongToUs, though.
