Yeah, I've found that if my leader gets captured, every other liberal goes into hiding.  Once he gets executed, they never have the conviction to lead.  Do they need a leadership skill or is it just juice that determines if they can take over?

They need juice. Leadership helps but is not essential.

Note they also need to be reporting directly to the founder (second level of the organization) at the time of the founder's death. Arrest will just cause 'temporary' lost contact. Thus, currently, long prison terms can be much more devastating to the LCS than martyrdom for your founder. Note also that when people are losing contact, if someone in the chain of command permanently leaves the LCS when they lose contact (rather than going into hiding until their contact is available again), then everyone under them is lost as well -- thus, it's not good to have valuable, high juice liberals reporting to nobodies that are likely to abandon the LCS if they lose contact, since the subordinate's juice may not ever be an issue.

Huh.  They all have 1000 juice and are all in the same squad as my leader so I'd assume they had pretty close ties with him.  Maybe since they all go into hiding for whatever reason after my leader gets arrested.

Which is why in a smart system they never execute the leaders of a plot. Pretty realistic if you ask me.

I had the homeless shelter get raided, and one of my sweat shop workers was there hanging out, and gets busted. So, I give him up to the police (A sweatshop worker), and he goes and gets a trail.

The charge: Resisting arrest.

Defended himself.

The Verdict: GUILTY!!!!

The Sentence: DEATH!!!

It was so full of phail I had to let him die.

It is probably a form of class warfare

Living in the fancy appartments probably should help you in the law department despite making no practical sense it is unfortunately true.

Just look at the times people tried to make being homeless illegal (or effectively being homeless means you go to jail)

Well, a lot of effort in big affairs like this is put towards making sure the ones you have in custody don't become martyrs, which would just fill your enemies with conviction. It's a smart political move.

So I just accidentally pushed g instead of f when the police sieged my main fortress which was going great. 86 people in jail having survived about 50 + sieges and have been hacking for years. A couple newer people ratted me out but still there are still about 80 people about to stand trial. I'll report any good sentences here.

Edit: About halfway through and the judge is starting to get mad. Person with 711 murders only got 1 life sentence while most of the people now with only 100 felony assualt charges are getting death.

Edit2: A former judge defended himself against 100 murders just got 29857 life sentences even with a secret hand sign from the jury.

I thought sweatshop workers got deported before trial, due to being illegal citizens and all.  Perhaps not all sweatshop workers are illegal citizens now.

Is there any reason why, in an L+ society, people still hire Ace Liberal Attorneys? Since you're going to get Life anyway, regardless of how you defend, isn't it better to keep your 5K, and instead focus on breaking said founder out?
