This would be.. interesting. If the prosecution is required to pay for the trial, it might cut down on the idiots wasting our time. Something along the lines of 3-5 diamonds should suffice. What we'll do with this diamond is anyones guess...

Exactly my line of thought.

Could you bring something up if this scenario happens , someone moves into your city and you want them to get out and they wont?

In order to have a valid court case, the case must fall under one of two categories:

Civil Suit: These are cases that address grievances against a player. Both players are required to provide their own representation. They may represent themselves. If the case involves any profanities (that are not a direct quote from evidence), poor demonstration of grammar or class, the case may be disregarded. The result of the proceedings cannot involve any monetary gain by either the prosecutor or the defendant (other than any court fees).

Deciding a Civil Suit: Players will be convicted if at least 3/4 of the Justices agree that he/she should be. Otherwise, the charges are dropped.

Conceptual Suit: These are cases that address apparent fallacies in existing rules, or lack of rules in a particular situation. These behave more as "Amendment" requests rather than cases. The player that represents Minerealm in a Conceptual Suit is Intelli, unless he chooses to surrender the case to a Mod or Admin. The result of a Conceptual Suit will either result in the changing of current rules, addition of new ones, or nothing at all. In order to succeed in a Conceptual Suit, the prosecution must hold at least 3/4 of the Justices' votes and in most cases, the approval of Intelli.


Justices: Justices are those players who judge both Civil and Conceptual Suit cases. The current assembly:
Panthers17nfl - Justice
Rokkrwolf312 - Justice
s292r - Justice
Twisted_100 - Justice
Cogohst - Justice
Intelli - Chief Justice & Defendant of MineRealm in any case

This sets the bar kinda high for minor tweaks to the way the rules are phrased to clean up loopholes and fix other errors.

I think we should have a jury of random players. They would be put in a list and picked 5 at a time for a case. If they can't make it someone takes their place and they go next time. After skipping more then twice you get fined/can't do a suit and get pulled from the list.

We don't have enough people on the server to have an unbiased jury. The core player base (Veterans, people often on, etc.) will be the ones suing/defending most of the time. These are well-known players, and jury members will already have made assumptions beforehand. This would cloud judgment and ruin the system. Staff members make up almost the entire panel (myself being the only normal member) and you can assume they'll give everyone a proper chance to present their case.

I would actually enjoy being on a jury. I would do pretty well on being unbiased and am good at reading the facts and making a decision.
