"I am still the judge, and there will be no popcorn loudly eaten in my court, thank you very much."

[Gwolfski]

'As you wish, Justice.'

*silently eats popcorn*

[IcyTea31]

"My apologies, your Honour, but Section F5.2 of the Code of the Court explicitly allows 'crunchy snacks, including but not limited to popcorn, potato chips and cheese sticks' to be 'consumed during, but not before or after' a time the Court can reasonably be said to be 'in a state of disarray, disorder, and/or confusion'."

[Gwolfski]

'Would you like some popcorn too? I got plenty.'

[TheBiggerFish]

"Part the first: The Court is not in disorder, disarray, or confusion.

Part the second: There is no such document.

Part the third: https://www.federalrulesofcriminalprocedure.org

It does not contain such a rule."

[Tawa]

"Try again.  I was the last person to sue anyone, and have generally been away since.  Besides, I seem recall the last time we faced off, you wound up going missing for quite some time in order to avoid punishment for an Inverse Chewbacca Offense.  Speaking of, should I send a memo to the Legal League of Attorneys that you are here so they could finish that up?"

"I'll have you know that was my father who fled in the DeLorean and died."

"That said... I suppose that my sources for that indictment are not legal evidence... yet. That trial's time will come."

"There is no such crime.  I move that the indictment be dismissed under Rule for Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3)(B)(iii) and (v) - lack of specificity and failure to state an offense."

"'Failure to state an offense'? Is 'corrupting this court' not an offence? In any case, the defendants are specifically charged with unlawfullly tampering with the goings-on in the courtroom in the interests of a third party, rather than in the interest of justice."

"And as for your evidence... have a look at this!"

The Basics of the Case

Exhibit A

"First, it can be seen that the defendant is a huge fan of '[dubious - discuss]'. This is an extremely weak Wikipedia footnote and using it in this manner is punishable by law."

Exhibit B

"The defendant has failed to engage in adequate legal action when the opportunity presented itself. Suing the GM for inactivity would not only have provided an incentive to keep the thread moving, but also to make an actual case instead of goofy original shenanigans."

Exhibit C

"Additionally, the defendant has not only slacked off and read Sherlock Holmes stories in the middle of a trial, but also edits his own posts without marking what has been edited! Who knows what mischief could be behind that metaphorical wall?"

Exhibit D

"Finally, the defendant has tried to apply real-world law to a courtroom where film characters are tried for violating the laws of physics. Another instance of his dreaded editing can also be observed here."


"These charges are more than adequate to bring the case to trial!"

"As for the other defendant, BadLemonsXI, the charges are much more clear-cut."

Exhibit D

"The defendant is believed to possess an unlawful space fleet and waging unlawful multiversal warfare. They will therefore be tried for this charge under the Generic Conventions."

Exhibit E

"The defendant is also seen to be capable of popping up wherever they wish in the courthouse. This is clear evidence that they possess some unlawful power over the court."

Exhibit F

"Finally, the defendant can be seen to dislike the creation of order in a court of law. This is despite his status as a judge! The implications of this are numerous."

"In conclusion, the prosecution feels that there is more than adequate suspicion that the defendants have engaged in unlawful practices here. The prosecution seeks to expose this and amend the Constitution of the Thread in order to more properly represent the interests of the Court and the People."

"Should the prosecution win in this case, the prosecution requests a sanctioned edit of the Original Post, so that the Constitution of the Thread may be amended such that the ridiculous shenanigans that have taken place in this court for far too long may come to an end. Subsequently, the court will be for the explicit purpose of litigation between forum members in the 'r/KarmaCourt' model, but while maintaining our own personal flair and the extensive use of image editing."

"I'm also willing to participate...if i can find where to access the images of me...Tawa you got a link? I lost mine."
"Or perhaps you would like to see a different form?"

"Would you consider yourself impartial on the matter that is currently being tried?"

[BadLemonsXI]

"Well shit."

(would do more but got work and a thing to go to after. So im out for the day. Nice to see this getting back to its roots.)

[TheBiggerFish]

"Even were I to not contest the charges, even were those charges to have merit, that's not how the Constitution works.

Oh, and you're cramming unrelated defendants on unrelated charges into the same case."

[Gwolfski]

*Mutters* 'Well I guess no one wants popcorn'

[Tawa]

"That is not how the Constitution works?"

Exhibit G

"The inanity of the current Constitution contains two clear lines that mean my charges do have merit."

1. All lawsuits filed must be lighthearted or in jest.
[...]
6. Depending on the circumstances, the trial may be based on actual logic, insane troll logic, or various courtroom antics.

"I could charge you with being a colorless green idea who sleeps furiously, and this case would still be brought to trial!"

"Furthermore, you could stand to not be so dead serious all the time. I mean, this thread isn't a madhouse, but it is, for once, supposed to be all fun and games."

"Moreover, the prosecution believes that the defendants are working together in a secret plot. By inviting two judges to the same plot, the plotter was able to increase the plot power to over 200% and easily corrupt the court. The plot is so secret that the defendants do not even realize that they are working together!"


"The prosecution would also not object to popcorn."

[endlessblaze]

"Maybe on my impartiality? I certainly don't want the court corrupted"

[Tawa]

"Wanting to root out corruption is certainly not a sign of side-taking. It is a sign of humanity."

"Does the defense find endlessblaze to be an acceptable judge?"

Edited for typo

[endlessblaze]

"ahhhh refreshing, thank you. before I am chosen I would like to point out I have also been involved in the original plot cases. I trust the court does not find this grounds to exclude me from acting within this trial?"

[Tawa]

"Seeing as the prosecution, defense, and defendants have all partaken in them, the prosecution has no objections."

[endlessblaze]

"shall I take on the role of the defense attorney"
