guess that depends on your interpretation of when the trial actually started. Previously it was agreed that the prosecution would present their case in three days, then the defense would get their chance to do so in three days. You asked for an extra day, and both the prosecution and defense have been granted a fourth day. By my interpretation of things, the trial began on the 12th when you present your opening statement. It is now the 18th. By the original time line we all agreed on, we still have two days including today.
So please, don't accuse us of time-stalling. We haven't done anything to stall the proceeding of the trial.
I would ask the defense-team to please re-do their maths.
Correction: We wonder why Gov was banned a whole month after TAO came to Limitless Events to say that he had been copying info. We already know why there was no trial until Gov appealed the ban, as Ithania clearly pointed out the reason for that.
I would ask the defense-team to please re-check their calendar and the actual flow of events. We kindly inform the defense team that THERE CAN BE NO TRIAL until the one in case appeals the ban (I do believe you insisted we call it a "forum restriction" but we will try to be flexible).
Perhaps you could clarify just how one would try and access a forum one cannot even see on the forum?
It is the same way that somebody can log-in using subversive methods although being banned. Forums can be broken into, and some boards can (or better to say could) be seen but not accessed without a password.
What does this matter? She clearly stated that most of her activity is at TWP. Ithania is a citizen in TWP and currently holds a leadership position. Limitless Event's UN nation isn't in Taijitu, should that make his testimony doubtful?
It matters because you have tried to boost what the witness said by presenting her as something she is not. You have brought a TWPer with foreign origins and invented diverse official capacities for her *she corrected you herself, look at your own interview* in order to match a statement given by the out most TWP authority.
What Meridianland's statement is concerned, please look at the relevant bits. I have bolded them, but will repost it just for your eyes, colored to match the festive season we are in:
< 13meri > I asked him if he was working for Taijitu, he said no, he was working for another region. I told him I could not trust his motives in the region, then.
Isn't harassment one of the charges placed on Gov here? And yet, you have no problem committing the same crime... Double standards for the win.
Oh, I thank his Honor TGR for clearing that up.
Your Honors, I am ready to make my closing statement. The defense has been able to do nothing except stall, fabricate witnesses and statements and hasn't even had the ability to hide those short-comings. The defendant has offered them but limp witnesses, and they were not even aware of the fact that those witnesses were in fact of another caliber for this trial than they had expected them to be. The ultimate proof - they have brought a player from the Equilism to testify before us on the defendant's character (!!!). If technical proof be required about the defendant sharing information and giving away logs without expressed permission of the involved, it shall be provided. Now please, let us end this masquerade before Christmas.
I am sorry if I have went over the line but 1) as the defense was complaining about the lack of body-language in this game we have tried to compensate and sometimes smile, laugh or shake our head. No contempt before the Court there. What the sarcasm is concerned, I apologize for saying this, but a somewhat witty spirit cannot help but use *what I hope has been* refined sarcasm and irony before such actions and attempts at patching up a boat with holes in it the size of a cannon-ball. I consider those means to be at my disposal and never once have I used such means of expressions with the Court, but was clearly aimed at the defense's statements and attempts, and the defendant's complete lack of understanding for the trial procedures and utter lack of respect for anyone involved. A trial is a messy business for all involved, and if the defense was expecting me to bring them flowers and take them out for lunch...well, had I done that, I believe that the Taijituan Government would have been rather displeased with my methods.
Let us not forget that this was an administrative action of the region, performed by one of the two forum owners, supported by the sitting delegate, seconded by the other owner and founding father of Taijitu, and cheered by all founders and the overwhelming majority of members of this region. You may hang on technicalities, try to resort to reading strange things into weak statements, but what this player has done to our region is the worst we have had since Taijitu was founded.
To end with,
just allow me to remind us all of the rather amusing situation that has caused this trial to extend up to now: at first the defendant claimed he had no Internet access - he was spotted countless times on-line - he re-iterated, saying he had no access to IRC - again he chatted for hours in other channels and was spotted - then he needed time to look for a counsel - found none - and asked more time to look for TWO counselors, then for THREE!!! He finally settled for two. Snow and blizzards have affected them. I am sorry but this is beginning to sound like "Ten Little Indians" and yet the Court indulges that kind of tactics. And in all this time, the defendant is crying out that he is opressed, misunderstood, they all hate him over in Taijitu, he has no rights etc etc. All together they form a defense team of three players, who are now seeking to gain some more time, as they have not managed to produce anything worth looking at.
Please note that I do not intend to waste my only peaceful time of year arguing over facts we all know. I am willing to make my closing statement at latest the 21st of December, the Friday before Christmas. I hope I will also have the time to join you all *perhaps with a minor exception* for a glass, before going home for the holidays.
Thank You.
