Worth an OOC ban?

[Bael]

Deport him, just out of spite.

Sounds good! Send him back to where he came from

[fodder]

can't you like chop a leg off before you deport?

[Shenron]

Heh.  The guy's now claiming that he's been trying to get himself executed for a while (and evidently been frustrated that everyone keeps deporting him).  So, basically, suicide by Judge, and he'd gotten wind that Arcaea did not at all mind executing people.

If could be reverse psychology, he may actually be convincing you not to kill him

Apparently the Judge agreed with that assessment, and had him executed.

[Geronus]

Too bad, because this would have been much funnier if he wasn't lying.

[Gloria]

Did you torture him beforehand?  Please tell me you did.

[Bedwyr]

If he did, he was very quiet about it.

[De-Legro]

Unlike our northern neighbors, Arcaea does not resort to torture for any reason. If our Judge was found to be committing such acts I fear we would have to dispose of her.

[Gloria]

So you'd rather OOC ban someone than actually play it out IC and torture the fool? 

[Bedwyr]

We did play it out IC.  I said (and still think) that it's tacky, but no OOC actions were taken and he was executed.  End of story.

[Heq]

Deposing judges, or even getting them to obey, is actually harder then you might think.

Maybe that's just us.  I'd say something, but as the route from disobedient judge to despot is a well travelled one in Arcachon I'll instead wipe a proud tear knowing that when Ciann gets offed or deposed whomever takes her place (if there's still an Arcachon) is probably going to be a lunatic.  A different kind of lunatic, but still down with the madness and the fear and the torture.

[Bedwyr]

Getting rid of a Judge is not done lightly, but if the Judge tortured someone in Arcaea (and this was given as opposed to disputed) then the Judge would be out very, very quickly.  Jenred would call for protests and the realm would do it, and one of the infiltrators would take them down if they didn't go quietly.

[Heq]

Well, Jenred has control of his realm.  To my count that makes him the only Northern ruler who can make that claim.

James, Jospeh, and Ciann have lots of theoretical power (oaky, Joseph doesn't even have theoretical power) but actually wielding it is problematic.  To steal the line from yes Prime Minister "I fought my whole life to have the power of the Prime Minister only to discover that once I'm the Prime Minister I don't have any power!"

Republics suck.

Indeed.
 
You bet Ortisia is going to torture and execute whoever tried to assassin her dear Ciann. The interesting part is that Ciann is sort of replacing the figure of Hei Bakos in Ortisia's life story.   So I'm kind of hoping that Ryuutarou Bakos attempts to kill Ciann, as I'm still unsure as how Ortisia's loyalties will play in that case. 

Yay for lunacy! But even as a realm of lunatics we are more functional than Ohnar West. 

And we've got so off-topic this probably needs to be split into a new thread...
