Everyone needs to calm down. I am having a blast with the Trial RP going on right now. We do take the trial seriously. Several threats have been made and misinformation has been spread between the players involved. The trial RP is starting to take shape. JT had to try to find a way out of the courtroom due to (siege) threats. These threats were found to be false, however, the need to gather forces to defend Puerto Rico takes priority over any trial being held. From an actual law enforcement point of view, yes, firearms and other "undetectable" weapons are smuggled into courtrooms every day across America. The screening methods are consistently circumvented by both criminals and *gasp* lawful entities. John and I have talked extensively about the misinformation and this problem has been addressed. A hidden firearm was brought in to the courtroom. It was not flaunted, only barely mentioned. Calm down, it's fun RP. It seems to me that any time we (Congress) develops anything that might be considered fun RP, we are hammered with negative feedback. This is how we play the game, this is how our diplomacy works. I for one am sick and tired of catering to everyone else play/RP styles. Seems that everyone believes we are required to play/RP within their predetermined limits. This is not the case. If you want us to RP to your style, if you want us to play the game the way you think it should be played, tough.
