The position of justice has become a poisoned chalice. experienced TNPers have been unable to cope with the pressures of the office. The system itself is broken- and attempts to reform it are thwarted at every turn. The last time this was attempted, this is what happened:

So a new approach is needed.

Let's face it, nobody much notices whether the system is operational or not, so why not have fun with it?

If elected, I will take to heart the wishes of the Regional Assembly who a few weeks ago decided against standardizing the language used in TNP affairs. this was a courageous move.

Therefore if elected:

1. All rulings and judgements delivered by me will be delivered in the form of interpretative dance, thus greater enfranchising those who favour the right hand side of their brain.

To give a worked example, this would have been my ruling in the recent Request for Review which led to Grosse's resignation. the pertinent section is at around the 53 second mark:

2. All private postings will be made in a Vigenère cypher. Justices have had it to easy for too long. make the buggers work for a living.

3. The exception to the above will be when I am inevitably recalled for Grosse misconduct. Then I will declare such a move unconstitutional in plain English.

5. I will number everything sequentially. Except when I don't. This will improve the efficiency of the court. Except when it doesn't. Or vice versa.

6 and a half. I will work on my length. I have looked with envy on the length some other justices enjoy. While mine is generally shorter, I will do my best to extend it as often as I can. Past example has shown us that Justices cannot have one that is too long. I mean posting style, of course.

So... Vote for me. It is a no-brainer. What fun we shall have.
 
I think I could be convinced to support this platform.
 
At present there is proposed legislation before the Assembly that would enable a transition from an adversarial to a non-adversarial justice system.

1. As you understand it, what is the distinction between an adversarial and a non-adversarial justice system?
2. Of the two systems, which do you think is better suited for TNP?
 
Most of our justices have tended to look at this issue from a purely functional point of view. I think you need to look at this from a wider perspective of Jurisprudence. The nineteenth century poet and philosopher Robert Hearick wrote this in his magnum opus "Hesperides":

Tumble me down and I will sit
Upon my ruins, smiling yet;
Tear me to tatters, yet I'll be
Patient to my necessity:
Laugh at my scraps of clothes, and shun
My as a fear'd infection;
Yet scare-crow like I'll walk, as one
Neglecting thy derision.

That pretty much sums up my position.
 
You have my support. If you can fix TNP's courts, we should think about having you run for RL office. :)
 
I have come to the conclusion that the system cannot be fixed. the reason is that solutions can only be found when solutions are desired.

And there are too many people who enjoy the asshattery.
 
The Vigenère cypher is almost childishly simple to break, even if you don't know the word(s)/random character key that was used for the encryption.

Given that fact, would you consider using Demotic script or perhaps speaking in tongues when delivering rulings?
 
This is interesting, Flem.

Wouldn't it be redundant to elect you as justice, because as God you already a judge over everyone? :P

The idea is to make the court put in some effort, not to make my words totally impossible to read.

I know. I was being sarcastic. (as usual). :P ;)

If anyone can give the Court system a royal kick in the arse and reform it, you are the person for the job. You have my support.

Interesting. I am currently tied for third place in a ballot that looks set to return a relatively inexperienced bench of justices. TNP laws are complex and tortuous. I can without undue modesty claim to have far more experience than any of the other candidates in this election (in fact, probably more than all of them combined). I have served as a justice on and off for more than ten years in TNP, and while there is a need for new blood I believe we also need some experience – and I can offer that.
