Greeting ladies and gentlemen to this ground breaking first ever trial here in ET. When 3 or more people accuse another person for more then 3 days of being a troll or other mendacious behavior, the case is brought here⦠The Troll Court, under all rules and regulations of Macropus Court. Proceedings will start soon in the case of LongandStrong, aka Shlap, aka Trader28. The judge speaks in all caps⦠not that heâs yelling, just so he is distinguished from the lawyers and juryâ¦. Oh⦠its startingâ¦
âAll rise, for the honorable Judge lilduckling, first case, docket #0001TT. The people vs. longandstrong, aka, schlap, aka trader28, charged with 1 count of being a troll, and 3 counts of underhanded trickery.
Charges:
1. Being a troll
2. Editing a post in order to trick newbies
3. Editing a post to save face with peers.
4. Lying about making money on a trade made public.
THANK YOU BAILIFF, PLEASE BE SEATED EVERYONE. COUNCELLOR, YOU CLIENT IS PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO THESE CHARGES, IS THAT CORRECT?
Yes you honor. Your honor at this time the defense would like to file a motion to have this case dismissed.
IN WHAT GROUNDS COUNCILOR?
Contributory negligence in the part of the accusers. Your honor, their constant taunting and teasing is what led my client to be charged with counts #1 and #4. Furthermore, it was Spydertrader that produced the questionable evidence. My client is not responsible for trades made 30 minutes after his call. If the time frame donât fit, you must acquit . As of the sole evidence, the defense contends that it is not admissible due to mitigating factors in this case. If I may expand on that your honorâ¦..
IM GOING TO ALLOW IT, BUT IM WARNING YOU COUNCELOR, DO NOT TURN THESE PROCEEDINGS INTO A FARCE.
Thank you your honor. Your honor, it has been well established that Spydertrader is a subsidiary of Jack Hersey or Grob enterprises. It is also well known that Grob is a synonymous for âfogâ which is defined as follows:
1. thick mist: condensed water vapor in the air at or near ground level
2. cloud of something: a cloud of something such as smoke in the air that reduces visibility
3. hazy confusion: a state of confusion or lack of clarity
4. obscuring agent: something that serves to obscure or conceal a fog of excuses
5. photog blurred area: an area on a photograph that is unclear or obscured by stray light
6. chemistry suspended particles: a cloud or suspension of liquid particles
v (past and past participle fogged, present participle fog·ging, 3rd person present singular fogs)
1. vti make or become obscured: to cause condensation to form on a transparent surface, or become covered with condensation
2. vt make something unclear: to make something unclear or confused
3. vti photog expose film to light: to contaminate film or a developing image with light, usually accidentally, or undergo this process
Therefore you honor, itâ¦
THATâS ENOUGH. COUNCILOR I WILL NOT LET YOU MAKE A MOKERY OF THIS TRIAL! MR HERSEY IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE, YOUR CLIENT LONGANDSTRONG IS. HOWEVER I DO NOT FIND ANY CREDIBLE EVIDENCE FOR COUNT #2. I THEREFORE AM DISMISSING THE CHARGE OF EDITING A POST TO TRICK NEWBIES.
ARGUMENTS ARE NOW OVER. THE JURY IS TO DELIBERATE ON THE OTHER 4 CHARCES.
JURY FORE PERSON, FOR COUNT # 1, A FELONY, THERE MUST BE AN UNANIMOUS DECISION.
THIS COUNT IS NOW ADJURNED UNTIL JURY REACHES A VERDICT.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the judge has left the courtroom into his chamber and the 6 jury members are now exiting into the jury room. If found guilty on all counts, longandstrong could face extreme penalties, including having to re-read 20 past posts of jack heresyâ¦. Oh⦠the bailiff is indicating that the jury has already reached a verdict, that was fast. Judge should be arriving shortly also.
