.:j:. Junker Congress Faction Feedback

[Sarawr!?]

Why should the trial be supervised by admins? Since when the admins need to supervise continuation of roleplay done by two factions?

And yes, a shoot-out as result of drug bust is roleplaying. I hardly get why the admins need to interfere there. The thread should be kept simple - Only 2 people may post - the LibGov account and one Junker that stands as a Junker representative. The rest could be called in specifically by either party by "I summon blahlbah to give testimony" and after it give the ooRP username of the guy.

It can't be that Admin intervention in something like this seems ridiculous only for me, is it?

There shouldn't be a need for Admin involvement, nor should Admins want to intervene in the RP of others. Only intervention that is necessary is in cases of rule violations, such as powergaming, metagaming and the like.

I find myself agreeing very strongly with these two posts.

@WildBill - Have you ever BEEN to a Courthouse in America? Like even a tiny little district court in a town of 20,000? Because I have, and the PANTS I was wearing set off their security systems, and I pretty much got thrown against the wall, frisked, and searched more thoroughly until they were absolutely certain I had no weapons, and I was only there for a school project!

So honestly I find your claim that "Weapons are smuggled into courtrooms across America daily" to be quuuuuite a bit farfetched, now I'm sure it happens in some places, but that was a drastic overstatement of the facts, and even then....

A robot bigger than a man, with built in handcannons =/= a single smuggled firearm. And I'm willing to bet that a FEDERAL COURT, FROM THE FUTURE, has much much much better security, than a dingy little district court in smalltown America, anyway. Just saying.

I have put many criminals behind bars during my career. I have and currently do use some of the most sophisticated screening equipment available. Yes, this does happen, and yes, it does happen on a daily basis. I have testified in large city courts as well as small town courts. The fact is, guns do get smuggled in daily. They are made of high strength plastics. This is my profession, I know what I am talking about. The point of my post was not to argue any of the points raised, but to draw everyone attention to the fact that we will continue to behave in game and on the forums in a fashion that is enjoyable to us. We are not here to be picked on and we are not here to conform to how others view what our RP should be.

I'm not picking on you, although I do agree this thread has gotten quite a bit aggressive.

Naturally you can RP how you will RP, but you shouldn't expect NOT to have consequences to your actions.

Although I feel like I shouldn't need to point this out if what you say is true, I'm going to anyway -- high strength plastics and guns made of composite materials are NOT impervious to some of the better security systems that exist and are commonly in use today.

EDIT: You know, I'd actually like to know what statistics you have that show that weapons being smuggled into courtrooms are a big problem across the US; I'm acutely aware that it's a huge security threat, but I'm not aware of very many instances where weapons have been SUCCESSFULLY smuggled in and used for their purpose, within the past ten years.

If we're talking inmates being brought from jail to trial; they're CERTAINLY not bringing in firearms, maybe a makeshift shank or shiv at the most, if they're LUCKY.


BUT ANYWAY BACK TO THE WORLD OF DISCOVERY FREELANCER PLEASE;

I'm willing to give you this; the Junker Congress reps came in of their own volition, that much is true, they weren't likely brought in under guard or in restraints, so MAYBE they'd be able to smuggle in some stealthed firearms, but the big handcannon robot threateneing bailiffs (and even making it into the courthouse? that's still a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge "WTF?").
