Judicial Order

[JudgeYohance]

Synopsis

The Judges or the Judicial Order as it is called by its members, is either a relatively new organization or an exceptionally old one depending on ones view of the history books. While the current incarnation is only around 16 years old, the core pilots have traces dating back to the first days of contact between the original four great houses.

History

Pre-Judge Years

Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force (122 A.S. to 230 A.S.)

The earliest traces of the Judges can be dated back to 122 A.S. in what was slowly becoming the Liberty Republic. Originally a local planetary police force formed to deal with problems in orbit of planets and later to oversee the security of the Valhalla Research operations, the organization would slowly develop into the underlining, if only temporary, military arm of Liberty.

By 155 A.S. this military (Now officially named the Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force or L.I.D.F.) while officially was tasked with protecting the steadily increasing supply of pilots now moving between the worlds in their star systems, unofficially they were tasked with the protection of the recently implemented "Jump Innovative" being developed by the now renamed, Ageira Technologies.

Over the next 60 years, with the development of the first fully functional jumpgate, and the rapidly expanding contact between the four houses, the L.I.D.F. would begin to see an influx of members as the mandate was slowly changed from being a military arm for the house of Liberty, to a multi-house defense force. Their job was now to oversee the successful construction of jumpgates throughout the four houses. By 230 A.S. with the creation of the Liberty Navy, the L.I.D.F. would go from a government controlled military, to now a private defense contractor being funded directly through several corporations as well as the four house governments all wanting to see jumpgates built throughout their systems. No longer directly controlled by any one government they were now tasked with the protection of all ships working on jumpgate construction. Seeing themselves as the direct promoters of human progress, they renamed themselves the Civilian Progress Protectorate (C.P.P.).

Civilian Progress Protectorate (230 A.S. - 589 A.S.)

Until the early part of the 4th century, the C.P.P. would continue to see widespread growth and steadily become the recognized protectors of the jumpgates. As trade continued to expand, they began to operate as guards protecting the local traders when outside government controlled sectors. By 310 A.S. , the C.P.P. had become the single largest independent military contractor in all of Sirius. Instilling in its members a firm belief that they were the protectors of humanities best interests, they began the construction of a new base somewhere in independent space. The leader of the C.P.P. was quoted in stating,

"We have overseen the creation of the jumpgates reconnecting humanity! It was our ships, our people who created the links that have allowed for this golden age to be created! As such, the C.P.P. has begun development of a new facility. A facility dedicated to protecting the knowledge of humanity. The last stronghold for all knowledge to be stored for any and all who wish to study it. We, of the Civilian Progress Protectorate, introduce the construction of Tannhauser Gate!"

By 314 A.S. , with a fully staffed an exceptionally well funded facility at their disposal, the C.P.P. created a base that was not only grand in scale and facilities, but housed the largest library of information in all of Sirius. Modeled after the concept of ancient Earth's Library of Alexandria, the C.P.P had achieved its greatest accomplishment to date. In order to keep the base better protected however, the only way to find the base was for the C.P.P. to take you there themselves. Ensuring that no single government could attempt to take the base and the knowledge it contained by force.

Sadly, all good things must end and so it did. Beginning in 317 A.S. , Bertonia found itself embroiled in a civil war. Until now, the C.P.P. had never seen a full scale military conflict on this scale. With the BRF and BPN now embroiled in the first true war to ever be seen in the Sirius sector, the Bertonian branch of the C.P.P. found itself caught in the middle. While some of its members felt they should directly interfere with the war, the majority felt it best to simply get out of their way. As such, by 318 A.S. , the C.P.P. had completely pulled out of Bertonia. When the war ended the following year, the newly created commonwealth was not interested in an "uncontrolled outside military".

Problems did not end there. In 321 A.S. , a coup in Kusari would "remove" the Hideoyoshi dynasty from power. Until then, the C.P.P. had maintained a strong connection with the Royal Guard in protecting the local space. With the guard in exile and a new, more militaristic, KNF having been formed, Kusari threw the C.P.P. out of their space. Officially, this was because the C.P.P. "are too ill equipped to protect the nation that is Kusari from the kinds of enemies we now face" unofficially though, it is believed that the now dubbed Blood Dragons owed there escape in part to C.P.P. members who disagreed with the coup, causing specific jumpgates to "malfunction" at a critical moment during their escape.

Having lost it's influence in both Bertonia and Kusari, there presence and frankly, their necessity, was questioned further by the remaining houses. As house militaries grew in size and scope, the C.P.P. found itself growing weaker as further restrictions were being placed on what they could or could not do. By the mid 6th century, the C.P.P. were becoming complacent and when the Eighty years war began in Rhineland in 589 A.S., the C.P.P. withdrew completely from most of Sirius to the protection of Tannhauser gate. No longer attempting to protect the civilian population, but still finding a large number of people flocking to them for knowledge, they would take on a new name better suited to their new task of determining who should gain access to their information and who should not. These would become, the Judges.

The first Judge Era (590 A.S.- 720 A.S.)

(The following information comes from only recently rebuilt records and is not entirely intact as a result. )

Over the next century, the Judges would become a highly trained, yet very limited organization operating exclusively out of their hidden base. They maintained a high level of research and had access throughout the academic world of all the houses but no longer the military or political power they once held. The organization enacted a limited recruitment policy of only accepting the best pilots or smartest scientists they could find. They brought people to the library and labs to study if they deemed the student as worthy and kept ears open throughout Sirius for any new developments.

While it is unknown exactly when ( believed to be sometime between 695 A.S. and 710 A.S.) certain artifacts had been uncovered and brought in by Judicial cadets operating out of Rhineland space. Extensive study showed the artifacts to belong to a unknown alien race ( believed to be Daam K'Vosh) which the organization had not seen since it's original work with Valhalla Research.

Whether or not this technology was of value or not is unknown (the surviving records only have given the name "Project Leviathan" with almost no reference to what it was) but sometime in 720 A.S. , the Judges were attacked by a massive military force (No information has survived indicating who it was) which resulted in the destruction of both the great starbase, and most of the Judges. While there were some survivors and several important data archives were rescued, this would effectively end the organization with very few knowing what happened.

By this point, the organization had become so withdrawn from the other houses, their destruction was not even really noticed, and their name became something more of a legend then a history account.

The second Judge Era (803 A.S. to present day)

In the aftermath of the first Nomad war the Sirius cluster had become Balkanized worse than it ever had before. Instead of one great power fighting the Nomad incursion, or even the four great houses standing together, now there were dozens of tiny states fighting each other, the Nomads, the four houses, and anything and everyone. The economy sank as inter-space transports and traders were routinely attacked, captured or destroyed by tiny powers seeking to increase their resources. Only strongly escorted convoys could get through, robbing military resources needed for Cluster defense. Wars erupted between the great houses showing no end in sight as their fleets battle year after year, and the people die. Many leaders of the major and minor powers would not risk cooperate and potential losing face. Even those wishing for peace could dare not seek it to prevent appearing weak or vulnerable to attack.

It was evident that something was needed to be done.

While now operating in secret, the remaining members of the Judges (Mostly comprised of the great grand children of the survivors) began to reassemble themselves into a small organization based out of Liberty. Using money coming from private financers (some being corporations) and the remaining records from the original library, they struck out to find their lost heritage in hopes that perhaps, they could bring back some of the peace their ancestors once saw.

By 809 A.S. they had succeeded in their goal and located the remnants of Tannhauser gate, left untouched from the battle almost 90 years ago. Over the next decade, using the surviving information from the base, and the connections they have maintained throughout Sirius, they have rebuilt themselves into a small yet cohesive military force with influence spanning both corporate and military assets.

With Bertonia in near ruins, Liberty and Rhineland locked in a war with no end in site, Kusari locked in a desperate struggle to hold its power base, piracy running at its highest level in Sirian history and now a new house called Gallia with it's massive fleet making a play to conquer all in their path. The Judges are now given the near impossible task of trying to restore even a small amount of order in a galaxy on the verge of collapse.

Judicial Mission Statement (primary goals)

• To bring order back to a chaotic universe

• To stem the tide of piracy against the civilian population

• To rebuild Tannhauser Gate and the great library of human history it once held

• To reunite the original four house in peace as our predecessors had seen

Judicial Mission Statement (secondary goal)

• Determine what Project Leviathan was and if it can be of any value

Code of Conduct

• Judges seek to bring Justice to all the worlds of Sirius through respect for local laws and respect of Sirius cluster long held believes in the ancient laws of man.

• Judges show integrity as a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes.

• Judges are men and women of high honor showing strong moral character and adherence to ethical principles. They can and have been invited to pass Judgment on systems local affairs with the certain knowledge that they will judge on the evidence and merits of the case. They do this only with permission of local authorities

• Lady Justice is depicted with a set of scales typically suspended from her right hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition. She carries a double-edged sword in her left hand, symbolizing the power of Reason and Justice, which may be wielded either for or against any party. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness; blind justice and impartial. The Judicial Order serve Lady Justice. We are the sword of her strong right arm and our ultimate goal is to have her stand on every world ensuring pauper and king will be treated fairly at all times and in all things……We are the Judges.

Let this code be your life. Violation of our codes will result in suspension and possible ejection.

[Govedo13]

How exactly you intent to fulfill your goals using FL ID?
FL Id does not allow you to hut pirates without and bring order valid bounty. If you join a various of bounty boards in order to do so is then your roleplay any different then the various merc/bounty hunter groups?
According to your description the independent pirates are neutral to you as well, would you hunt indie pirates or you are hostile with rogues only? What about Outcasts and Lane Hackers since they are Rogue allies?
What you understand under civilian population? Corporations or freelancers and independent pilots?

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

[Pancakes]

All I see you doing all day long is camping newark. Am I just badly timed or that's simply what you truly do all the time?

[EisenSeele]

Apparently you guys are hostile to the Rheinland Lawfuls. You should edit your page to reflect this.

You should also find yourself a reason to shoot at Rheinland Lawfuls that is permissible by the server rules. As far as I can see, you have not joined any relevant bounty boards, nor have you been seen being hired to do so.

FEEDBACK

[Reid]

Your leader should also look up the laws on re-engagement. That means don't dock under fire, then accompany a group of 6 bombers against who you docked from.

Also, don't bring 6 bombers for 1 gunboat. It's bad form, even if your members can't kill it.

[Echo 7-7]

There is so much wrong* with the faction history I could start a whole new thread about it.

I will eventually get to a line-by-line analysis of it.

*wrong whereby it is incongruous with established Freelancer and Discovery lore.

There was a sig here, once.

[SummerMcLovin]

I'll second Max's comment about the history, far too over-reaching to me and likely many others.
The relations do seem strange to me as well, I'm not sure how adherent to your old "uphold the law everywhere" clause but nobody likes pirates.

You have signed up on some bounty boards though, which at least lets you do more than train and camp Newark. Other than the following example, I believe the above two activities are still the majority of your activity.

When someone bumped the CR| chat with "Loads of Judges in Cornado" I thought you might have been making that out-of-nowhere Judge shipyard or whatever your last request included. However, I found a few of you fighting a Brigand Eclipse, and obviously being a little confused was looking for an explanation. With a particularly impressive "Pirate shooting me for no reason", I decided to jump in anyway as the Brigand wasn't following my orders. When we eventually destroyed him in California, I asked again for any explanation but everyone ran off to Newark once again. Eventually I got a PM from a Senior Judge saying it was a training exercise where they had to travel from O-99 to New York, didn't really help much.

So a rather confusing encounter for me, but at least you are getting around even if just to promote the Cadets.

I have nothing against it. but if you see this:
Judge- 15.11:21:09 on the Faction Activity tracer. they are around alot.. but then i ask myself how much idle time is it? I guess something like half of it is. I appreciate they make a faction and try to make their own thing on disco. Try to adjust it a little and let your members interact more. Not only the lead of a faction is to RP on this server.


I couldn't find a feedback topic? isn't there one?

Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force (122 A.S. to 230 A.S.)[/align][/color]

The earliest traces of the Judges can be dated back to 122 A.S. in what was slowly becoming the Liberty Republic. Originally a local planetary police force formed to deal with problems in orbit of planets and later to oversee the security of the Valhalla Research operations, the organization would slowly develop into the underlining, if only temporary, military arm of Liberty.

Nope. Security was handled solely by top Government forces. Liberty’s military forces, while they have undergone structural and organisational changes over the years, are essentially the same body ever since the SS Liberty landed on Planet New York. Private military forces don’t come into the equation here, and in the very early years anyway, there was no need for them.

By 155 A.S. this military (Now officially named the Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force or L.I.D.F.) while officially was tasked with protecting the steadily increasing supply of pilots now moving between the worlds in their star systems, unofficially they were tasked with the protection of the recently implemented "Jump Innovative" being developed by the now renamed, Ageira Technologies.

This was a top-secret project and security was not handled by a PMC.

Over the next 60 years, with the development of the first fully functional jumpgate, and the rapidly expanding contact between the four houses, the L.I.D.F. would begin to see an influx of members as the mandate was slowly changed from being a military arm for the house of Liberty, to a multi-house defense force. Their job was now to oversee the successful construction of jumpgates throughout the four houses. By 230 A.S. with the creation of the Liberty Navy, the L.I.D.F. would go from a government controlled military, to now a private defense contractor being funded directly through several corporations as well as the four house governments all wanting to see jumpgates built throughout their systems. No longer directly controlled by any one government they were now tasked with the protection of all ships working on jumpgate construction. Seeing themselves as the direct promoters of human progress, they renamed themselves the Civilian Progress Protectorate (C.P.P.).

There has never been any “multi-house defense force”. The Houses have always been too fractious and distant (initially) for such trust and organisation to be successfully executed.

Once again, local house government military forces oversee Jump Gate construction as they are all government purchases (not private). It would be a waste of money, and a potential breach in confidentiality, to hire external security on a construction site already being run externally.

Civilian Progress Protectorate (230 A.S. - 589 A.S.)

Until the early part of the 4th century, the C.P.P. would continue to see widespread growth and steadily become the recognized protectors of the jumpgates.

Lolno. See the part where I’ve said the existence of your fictitious, miraculous justice-league PMC could not have formed given Sirius’ geopolitical history since colonisation.

As trade continued to expand, they began to operate as guards protecting the local traders when outside government controlled sectors. By 310 A.S. , the C.P.P. had become the single largest independent military contractor in all of Sirius.

Not likely. The current Bounty Hunters Guild is the single largest private combat enterprise in Sirius, so it’s highly unlikely that you could be anywhere close to their size, particularly so early in Sirius’ history.

Instilling in its members a firm belief that they were the protectors of humanities best interests, they began the construction of a new base somewhere in independent space. The leader of the C.P.P. was quoted in stating,

"We have overseen the creation of the jumpgates reconnecting humanity! It was our ships, our people who created the links that have allowed for this golden age to be created!

No it wasn’t. In your own words, you did jack all except for protect construction sites, which as I said before, probably couldn’t have happened.

As such, the C.P.P. has begun development of a new facility. A facility dedicated to protecting the knowledge of humanity. The last stronghold for all knowledge to be stored for any and all who wish to study it. We, of the Civilian Progress Protectorate, introduce the construction of Tannhauser Gate!"

A Blade Runner reference? Unoriginal.

Also, no, this is not possible. Only Ageira Technologies had the means to construct a Jump Gate – and they still do.

By 314 A.S. , with a fully staffed an exceptionally well funded facility at their disposal, the C.P.P. created a base that was not only grand in scale and facilities, but housed the largest library of information in all of Sirius. Modeled after the concept of ancient Earth's Library of Alexandria, the C.P.P had achieved its greatest accomplishment to date. In order to keep the base better protected however, the only way to find the base was for the C.P.P. to take you there themselves. Ensuring that no single government could attempt to take the base and the knowledge it contained by force.

Highly unlikely. Each of the House Governments keeps their own secrets hidden away so it’s impossible for some PMC to have access to that kind of information. To this day, in fact, there are still certain historical documents that can only be found in only one House library.

The base’s secrecy is irrelevant when it contains nothing of value.

Sadly, all good things must end and so it did. Beginning in 317 A.S. , Bertonia found itself embroiled in a civil war. Until now, the C.P.P. had never seen a full scale military conflict on this scale. With the BRF and BPN now embroiled in the first true war to ever be seen in the Sirius sector, the Bertonian branch of the C.P.P. found itself caught in the middle. While some of its members felt they should directly interfere with the war, the majority felt it best to simply get out of their way. As such, by 318 A.S. , the C.P.P. had completely pulled out of Bertonia. When the war ended the following year, the newly created commonwealth was not interested in an "uncontrolled outside military".

What’s “Bertonia”?

And of course Bretonia was not interested in an outside military force. None of the houses would have liked it. Including Liberty.

Problems did not end there. In 321 A.S. , a coup in Kusari would "remove" the Hideoyoshi dynasty from power. Until then, the C.P.P. had maintained a strong connection with the Royal Guard in protecting the local space.

That’s a hilarious joke. Everyone knows that the Kusarians are extremely distrustful of outsiders and ban all non-Kusari PMCs from operating in their House.

With the guard in exile and a new, more militaristic, KNF having been formed, Kusari threw the C.P.P. out of their space. Officially, this was because the C.P.P. "are too ill equipped to protect the nation that is Kusari from the kinds of enemies we now face" unofficially though, it is believed that the now dubbed Blood Dragons owed there escape in part to C.P.P. members who disagreed with the coup, causing specific jumpgates to "malfunction" at a critical moment during their escape.

Once again, you are not the secret-awesome-protectors of Jump Gate technology and thus do not have the ability to make them “malfunction” at will.

Having lost it's influence in both Bertonia and Kusari, there presence and frankly, their necessity, was questioned further by the remaining houses.

It’d be about damn time.

As house militaries grew in size and scope, the C.P.P. found itself growing weaker as further restrictions were being placed on what they could or could not do. By the mid 6th century, the C.P.P. were becoming complacent and when the Eighty years war began in Rhineland in 589 A.S., the C.P.P. withdrew completely from most of Sirius to the protection of Tannhauser gate.

Irrelevant as this mysterious Gate doesn’t exist.

No longer attempting to protect the civilian population, but still finding a large number of people flocking to them for knowledge, they would take on a new name better suited to their new task of determining who should gain access to their information and who should not. These would become, the Judges.

Flocking to a PMC for knowledge. Riiiiiight…

Should have called your faction The Librarians – it would be more appropriate.

The first Judge Era (590 A.S.- 720 A.S.)

(The following information comes from only recently rebuilt records and is not entirely intact as a result. )

Over the next century, the Judges would become a highly trained, yet very limited organization operating exclusively out of their hidden base. They maintained a high level of research and had access throughout the academic world of all the houses but no longer the military or political power they once held. The organization enacted a limited recruitment policy of only accepting the best pilots or smartest scientists they could find. They brought people to the library and labs to study if they deemed the student as worthy and kept ears open throughout Sirius for any new developments.

While it is unknown exactly when ( believed to be sometime between 695 A.S. and 710 A.S.) certain artifacts had been uncovered and brought in by Judicial cadets operating out of Rhineland space. Extensive study showed the artifacts to belong to a unknown alien race ( believed to be Daam K'Vosh) which the organization had not seen since it's original work with Valhalla Research.

Well, you never actually worked on the Valhalla Project.
Also, if you’re referring to the incident at the start of the vanilla Freelancer campaign – your date is about 100 years too early.

Whether or not this technology was of value or not is unknown (the surviving records only have given the name "Project Leviathan" with almost no reference to what it was) but sometime in 720 A.S. , the Judges were attacked by a massive military force (No information has survived indicating who it was) which resulted in the destruction of both the great starbase, and most of the Judges. While there were some survivors and several important data archives were rescued, this would effectively end the organization with very few knowing what happened.

By this point, the organization had become so withdrawn from the other houses, their destruction was not even really noticed, and their name became something more of a legend then a history account.

Woohoo!

Right, back to the critique…

The second Judge Era (803 A.S. to present day)

In the aftermath of the first Nomad war the Sirius cluster had become Balkanized worse than it ever had before. Instead of one great power fighting the Nomad incursion, or even the four great houses standing together, now there were dozens of tiny states fighting each other, the Nomads, the four houses, and anything and everyone.

The period between the end of the first Nomad war (depicted in the vanilla Freelancer campaign) and present-day Sirius is considered to be entirely documented by Discovery mod lore. Anything fictional you create here is not just inconceivable – it may be entirely impossible and never happened.

The economy sank as inter-space transports and traders were routinely attacked, captured or destroyed by tiny powers seeking to increase their resources. Only strongly escorted convoys could get through, robbing military resources needed for Cluster defense. Wars erupted between the great houses showing no end in sight as their fleets battle year after year, and the people die. Many leaders of the major and minor powers would not risk cooperate and potential losing face. Even those wishing for peace could dare not seek it to prevent appearing weak or vulnerable to attack.

Last time I checked, the major wars were Liberty-Rheinland and Bretonia-Kusari prior to the Gallic invasion. No others of such scale occurred.

It was evident that something was needed to be done.

While now operating in secret, the remaining members of the Judges (Mostly comprised of the great grand children of the survivors) began to reassemble themselves into a small organization based out of Liberty. Using money coming from private financers (some being corporations) and the remaining records from the original library, they struck out to find their lost heritage in hopes that perhaps, they could bring back some of the peace their ancestors once saw.

By 809 A.S. they had succeeded in their goal and located the remnants of Tannhauser gate, left untouched from the battle almost 90 years ago. Over the next decade, using the surviving information from the base, and the connections they have maintained throughout Sirius, they have rebuilt themselves into a small yet cohesive military force with influence spanning both corporate and military assets.

“… influence spanning both corporate and military assets.”
That last sentence doesn’t even make contextual sense. What are you trying to say? You had friends in the military and in corporations? That might be possible, but you wouldn’t actually own any assets in either camp, as you state that you are distinctly not one of either.

With Bertonia in near ruins, Liberty and Rhineland locked in a war with no end in site, Kusari locked in a desperate struggle to hold its power base, piracy running at its highest level in Sirian history and now a new house called Gallia with it's massive fleet making a play to conquer all in their path. The Judges are now given the near impossible task of trying to restore even a small amount of order in a galaxy on the verge of collapse.

That’s a charming notion. Whose order are you trying to restore? There is no one single unifying objective of peace that is achievable in the Sirius sector – it is in constant flux politically and economically. There is no black and white.

Judicial Mission Statement (primary goals)

• To bring order back to a chaotic universe

• To stem the tide of piracy against the civilian population

• To rebuild Tannhauser Gate and the great library of human history it once held

• To reunite the original four house in peace as our predecessors had seen

The Houses have never been truly united. The single most “unifying” moment was the day the Sleeper Ships left a certain moon of Jupiter. Your unification is a novel idea and likely impossible to reach. Some might call it noble.

Judicial Mission Statement (secondary goal)

• Determine what Project Leviathan was and if it can be of any value

Code of Conduct

• Judges seek to bring Justice to all the worlds of Sirius through respect for local laws and respect of Sirius cluster long held believes in the ancient laws of man.

You could start by abiding the Laws of Liberty at all times. Your faction doesn’t have a good record.

• Judges show integrity as a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes.

• Judges are men and women of high honor showing strong moral character and adherence to ethical principles. They can and have been invited to pass Judgment on systems local affairs with the certain knowledge that they will judge on the evidence and merits of the case. They do this only with permission of local authorities

Allow me to make this clear: the “Judges” have not ever been part of Liberty’s military or judicial system, and given everything that’s been seen of you, you never will be in the future either. If you intend to make that change, then you should start roleplaying properly, change your IDs to something more appropriate, and fall in line.

• Lady Justice is depicted with a set of scales typically suspended from her right hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition. She carries a double-edged sword in her left hand, symbolizing the power of Reason and Justice, which may be wielded either for or against any party. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness; blind justice and impartial. The Judicial Order serve Lady Justice. We are the sword of her strong right arm and our ultimate goal is to have her stand on every world ensuring pauper and king will be treated fairly at all times and in all things……We are the Judges.

Let this code be your life. Violation of our codes will result in suspension and possible ejection.

Friendly relationships with Gaians and Xenos? Whoops, looks like you were lying about being lawfully inclined. This is further evidence that you’re just using the Freelancer ID to have a convenient reputation. So much for the claims of “integrity” each Judge is supposed to uphold.


Addendum: The best part of all this? You're not really even a PMC in Liberty because you didn't qualify for Bounty Board registration.
