The player known as MG, having admitted an infamous theft, was banned from irc and the forums excepting an in court mask. The president should appoint someone to prosecute.

Dominik regained forum access. The process of discussion and a general procedure for future use was developed by Judge Plugson.

Rolo had been given an opportunity to elect a sentence which avoided a permanent ban. Having failed to make an election in the time permitted, his permanent ban has now become… permanent.

I have communicated my resignation as Chief Justice to the president, effective whenever he wishes to accept it. I was nominated and confirmed almost two months ago, and I haven't wanted to rely on the new "life tenure" enjoyed by our judges. So, the president can replace me when he wishes.

There are some "on the horizon" matters which will likely be discussed and determined by the court in the next while including the place and expectations of lawyers/councel/representatives. The overlapping jurisdictions and functions of the admins/court is also something which deserves a principled elaboration.

I choose not to accept it 😉

😁 *dramatic music* 😁

Resignation did not get the Presidential seal of approval?
Turns out "life tenure" on the bench has become a "life sentence" - ironic, considering one of the updates above.

Good to see you back and posting, Oliver.

ball tournaments getting in the way. Will do better.

I believe he is attempting to say he has put in his resignation now that it has been two months as only a form of protest against the idea of life time appointment, meaning that should the situation become desired, any Prime Minister may remove him from the position, thereby removing as best he can the concept of life time appointment for himself.

😁
you are right. Except for the protest part. Life tenure makes some sense. It would be best, however, to dispel the impression that I "snuck in" and refuse to leave 🙂

Plugson Day 1,227, 20:59

Good point, Etemenanki. I would do the same but fear a different result.

To clarify: the court case with Dominik did not dismiss the ban. This was a decision the Admins reached on their own since there was no Constitutional/criminal issue involved yet. Dominik basically served out the length of his ban. The appeal process is, as of yet, still untested.
