Verdict: JUSTICE and LAW

[Reenk Roink]

I can tell you that twenty-five people have voted thus far (I haven't, heh), and that the results are very close.

You are abusing your executive powers and making a mockery of the LAW. I am the jury foreman, as well as judge, plaintiff, and defendant of this particular case.

Now, GO TINCOW GO!

[Hamata]

I voted for tincow

[Reenk Roink]

This is what showed me TinCow's obvious legal and chromatic superiority over Andres:

Let's say, for hypothetical purposes only, that I am a complete imbecile and need to be reminded of my own words because I am too stupid to be able to remember what I have said and too inept to be able to use my own scroll wheel to re-read the thread. Given this hypothetical situation, what previous statement of mine would you quote as evidence to support your argument?

[TinCow]

TinCow, there is a problem in your methods: if everyone who votes for Andres has their name turned pink, we will have a visual confirmation of just how many voted for Andres despite any monkeying around with the poll numbers you may do. This flaw shows inferior critical thinking so important to a lawyer. Andres is shown superior to you by default...though how he fairs against "Gah!" is uncertain.

I do not 'monkey' with poll numbers. I fix bugs. That's my job. Nowhere in my job description does it say "Tech Admins may abuse the absolutely unlimited power they have to influence the fates of each and every person on the Org." Not even in the super-secret invisible fine print that only Tech Admins can so. No, not even there. That text says something quite different.

[TinCow]

I'll have my trial tomorrow at 1:00, and I plead GUILTY.

You will have your trial when it pleases the court and you will be grateful when it happens! Your plea is invalid, as this is not an arraignment. Your arraignment also has not been scheduled yet. Clearly you are incapable of self-representation due to ineptitude. I suggest you seek outside legal counsel. Here is a list of all attorneys licensed to practice before the Org Bar:

Who will be the judge?

[TinCow]

Who will be the judge?

For reasons of impartiality, the judge will be randomly selected from amongst all the current members of the Org Bar.

[Secura]

You are abusing your executive powers and making a mockery of the LAW.

Hahaha, I think you'll find the new poll does that just fine; a shame that you had to call my impartiality into question! :P

[Andres]

Now, GO TINCOW GO!

A system where one of the parties is able to change the jury votes as he pleases, is a mockery and a disgrace.

[TinCow]

Hahaha, I think you'll find the new poll does that just fine; a shame that you had to call my impartiality into question! :P

Your blatant disregard for the law and falsification of the poll results has failed due to your insignificant powers. Your puny efforts to change GAH into SECURA and add several thousand votes to that category do not register as individual votes by individual forum members. Only I can see precisely who has voted in each category, and it is beyond your powers to falsify that list.

You see, forum members?! This is the abuse of power that I protect you against! The rule of tyrants and oligarchs! Those who laud their powers over you and use them to cause travesties of justice! Support me and we shall lead this forum to a new era of equality and fairness, without subjection to the repressive powers of the hereditary elite who are unaccountable to anyone but themselves!

[Secura]

Only I can see precisely who has voted in each category, and it is beyond your powers to falsify that list.

This raises an interesting question though; the poll creation/editing process states that I (and indeed, any moderators for this subforum) will be able to see the results and voters even if it's made private by the creator, but that's not the case. Sort it out. :P

Why, so that you can abuse your power in a manner that is harder to detect?

O tempora o mores!

[Andres]

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?

Only I can see precisely who has voted in each category, and it is beyond your powers to falsify that list.

This is a lie.

Ser Clegane, Sigurd and therother can see that too.

[Kralizec]

Let's say, for hypothetical purposes only, that I am a complete imbecile and need to be reminded of my own words because I am too stupid to be able to remember what I have said and too inept to be able to use my own scroll wheel to re-read the thread.

If only I did not cower in fear of the staff (who are cruel, and barely just), this would have been worthy to include in my signature...

[TinCow]

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?

No, Secura removed her fabrications shortly after I pointed out her abuse of power. It is unimportant to me to present such evidence though, as I have already succeeded in protecting the people of The Org from her cruel oppression. She will receive her comeuppance in good time. Such malfeasors always do. It is enough for me to have upheld the cause of truth and justice for this day.

This is a lie.

Ser Clegane, Sigurd and therother can see that too.

True, but where are these esteemed men? They do not appear to have any interest in these proceedings.

[Andres]

No

Then why would we have to believe your accusations?

True, but where are these esteemed men? They do not appear to have any interest in these proceedings.

They are probably facing piles of complaints about abuse of power by their colleague TinCow...

[TinCow]

Then why would we have to believe your accusations?

I do not care whether you believe them or not. My only concern is the protection of the humble members from abuse by power-hungry staff members like you and Secura. I have won a great victory for them today, and am content with that knowledge. Your acknowledgment of that victory is meaningless.

[Secura]

the protection of the humble members from abuse by power-hungry staff members like you and Secura.

Let them eat cake.

What abuse by me?

[TinCow]

What abuse by me?

Your shameful actions and groundless badgering of me in the other thread with a similar title to this one. As I am the defender of the rights of the people, your attacks on me are also attacks on them.

[Andres]

My actions were not shameful and my badgering of you was not at all groundless.

Also, tell me what "powers" did I "abuse" while rightfully pointing out that you made an error?

Too bad I missed this. You have much to learn from SECURA.

[TinCow]

My actions were not shameful and my badgering of you was not at all groundless.

We shall have to agree to disagree on this point, though I doubt you'll agree to that. In any case, I believe the good forum members will provide a verdict on this issue in the near future.

Also, tell me what "powers" did I "abuse" while rightfully pointing out that you made an error?

Perhaps I was a bit too harsh in equating your misunderstanding of words and inability to use logic to an abuse of power. Secura's blatant abuse of her position so inflamed my passions that I felt compelled to strike back against the totalitarian oligarchy which runs the Org. To the extent that I have accused you of abuses on her scale, I apologize. You are guilty only of being unbelievably wrong, not unbelievably corrupt.

[Andres]

Too bad I missed this. You have much to learn from SECURA.

You didn't miss it. It never happened.

[TinCow]

You didn't miss it. It never happened.

More proof of your own poor logic and debating skills, as Secura admitted that she had edited the poll:

Hahaha, I think you'll find the new poll does that just fine; a shame that you had to call my impartiality into question! :P

[Moros]

Let them eat cake.

Why eat cake? There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth as that prince of foods, the pie!

[Andres]

More proof of your own poor logic and debating skills, as Secura admitted that she had edited the poll:

Nowhere in those quoted posts is Secura explicitly stating that she has edited the poll.

[rajpoot]

All right so what's at stake here. What does the winner (assuming gah does not win) get aside from satisfaction?

[Major Robert Dump]

a NEW FACEBOOK GROUP

[TinCow]

Nowhere in those quoted posts is Secura explicitly stating that she has edited the poll.

Secura referred to a "new poll" which accomplished "just fine" the task of "abusing [her] executive powers and making a mockery of the LAW." She then specifically stated that she had been looking at the poll editing features of the forum. Why are you so insistent on ignoring her blatant abuse of power? You, sir, are dangerously close to being an accessory after the fact to her crime.
