(OK I am one of those geeks that still plays D&D - I've been playing it since 1982 and don't intend to quit now.) Guess that makes me both a geek and an adict....sigh. Oh well - I enjoy it. And it wont kill you as fast as smoking.

I've been playing awhile now, but you've been playing since before I was born. What a nerd! Just joking ... its fun, sad that its been stereotyped as it has been. Though Its been awhile since I've played pen&paper, mostly play video games now cause I can't ever get my friends together. Damn our busy lives....

The ones the President appoints must stick around 3 months
the Vp chooses 1 person for a 2 month term
two minister (i never remember which exactly) elect two 1 month termers.

So, if anyone was to nominate Trip, it wouldnt be me Im guessing (cuz of Trip leaving before 3 months are up)

Well, I'm good for one month. I guess I'll have to depend on the good graces of our Ministerial body.

No wait, heres a 25 sided dice, let me roll it. Oh look, what do you know ... It says I should be a judge, well how do you like that

You roll either a 100 sided die (they do make them) or %dice. Divide by 4. Count down that many slots. Example 88 would yield the 22nd person down the list.

Do they seriously make 100 sided dice? Those succers gatta be the size of tennis balls. I would just use %dice.

Yes, Lou Zocchi made one several years back. It looks like a small tennis ball. It looks round, but it has 100 flat surfaces, really small surfaces. I will see if I can find one.

The elusive 100-sided die, perfect for percentage rolls. Includes more than 350 uses and a history of the die. Random colors.

Hopefully that worked. Lou Zocchi used to own Gamescience in south Mississippi. There is a picture on the site.

I have played pen and paper since the mid 70's myself, from Melee and Wizard to D&D/AD&D/C&S/ICE RM.

Anyway, BOT, sorry for OT, I don't envy Ninot and co. their choices.

[Kramerman]

Thanks Kring, you definately didn't need to go through all that trouble, I appreciate it. I'll check out those links tomarrow afternoon when I wake up. Im tired ...*mumble*... and desire ... *mumble*... sleee....

Aggie, i completely agree with your suggestions

I know that Trip would be an amazing guy to hold down the job, but he can't stay 3 months.....

Captain, on the other hand, I dont see any downside to. He would just be amazing

why thank you, Ninot!

and to all other Judicial candidates, no bribery was involved! You may, of course, feel free to investigate but I assure you, you will find nothing. And even if you found any evidence of wrongdoing, no laws exist concerning bribery!

seriously, I am honoured and I think I do have a good sense of the law (since I've been very involved in most of the discussions) and a balanced view, but on the downside, I cannot guarantee to be here 24/7. Occasionally I will be away for 1-2 days, or sometimes even longer. But I suppose that's why we have 5 Judges...

whatever happens, I have faith that our leaders will make good choices.

[Captain]

the list has been updated
sorry for the delay or whatever weirdness just happened...I got some strange Apoly technical error messages when trying to edit it just a few minutes ago.

[kring]

Not to complain, Captain, but my name is on there twice. Since I would suppose the people picking would know that there is only one of me, I thought it was only fair to point that out. About 14th down, and then near the bottom. Or, maybe I get two chances to get picked.

With that many names, it would be easy to miss.

Why I should be a Justice For the Civ 3 Demo Game's High Court

With the Ratification of the Apolyton Court a sure thing on this 23rd of July, I would like to explain to you why I should be nominated as one of the justices.

1. I am a independent, therefor not biased to wither the UFC nor the DIA. However i am not against party politics like some of the other would-be justices. I beleive a anti-party court and party-ful goverment would be detrimental to Apolytonia. A court that works with the current constitution, Code of Laws, and Goverment would be successful in solving our nations problems.

2. Each Ruling would be followed by a brief, clearly explaining my ruling and why i ruled that way. I would push for this to be the standard for each justice

3. I would be rarely unavailable for rulings. At most i am away from my computer for a day.

4. I would read the various documents of law litteraly. I would not "read into" the documents and try to claim that they imply something. If it does not clearly state it; it is not there.

5. I would not "legislate from the bench", meaning, I would not interject my personal political beleifs into my rulings. The law is the law and is not a elected position.

6. In the event that neither of our document of law make statements on a particular issue, I will try my very best to make a ruling based on the will of the people. Not on my political beleifs.

7. I would devote my Apolytonian life to this court. With the sacrifice of my hard work.

Thank you for your consideration of my nomination;

Kman - I do have one of those 100 d. It is huge relative to the rest of the ones I have. And I dont think I ever used it. (2d10 works fine for me).

I don't think I will campain for the position. I would like it, and I would do a good job. But so many people up for it. Ouch - tough decision for all those involved. Good luck one and all.

[Captain]

kring, fixed. sorry, would've done it sooner, but apoly was laggy at lunch...or maybe it was just the network.

btw, 1 or 2 syllables? is it pronounced "kay-ring" or "kring"?

[kring]

One syllable; it's German, my grandfather's last name, rhymes with ring, so kring.

And that's okay, I just happened to notice it when I was looking at the list. I thought it was probably unintentional. It didn't seem fair to have it there twice.

[Jon Shafer]

My congratulations to all the other judicial nominees, and my condolences to those who were not picked. There are people here at Apolytonia who could have filled the job well. Do not be sour, comrades, there is always another month, another term...

'Til then...
