[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Slim] Good evening
[Slim] I have not been in the lands long
[Slim] But I enjoy the Coliseum immensely
[Slim] Recently, in a bout *I did NOT bet on*
[Slim] Madcat simply went to sleep, rather than fight his opponent
[Slim] This is not a terrible crime
[Slim] But he deserves to be chastized for wasting all our time
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Slim] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Slim
[Haengemie] Madcat, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Madcat] i didn`t throw the fight
[Madcat] witness: yojimbo
[Madcat] witness: yojimbo
[Haengemie] Thank you, Madcat
[Haengemie] Yojimbo, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Yojimbo. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Yojimbo, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Yojimbo] My son, Madcat, was attempting to kill an Island panther in the Colisseum...
[Yojimbo] My son, Madcat, was attempting to kill an Island panther in the Colisseum...
[Yojimbo] he was attempting to show some style by trying to pose and (ooc) his system crashed.
[Yojimbo] He rebooted but too late to finish the fight. He's in the same room as I am and I helped him reboot the system
[Yojimbo] Bottom line: ya bets your money, ya takes your chances.
[Yojimbo] I lost $$$ and I'm not whining
[Yojimbo] and he lost 99 coins
[Yojimbo] nuf ced
[Yojimbo] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Yojimbo
[Haengemie] Slim, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Slim] An interesting argument, if true
[Slim] What *we* saw was this fellow walk to the center of the ring
[Slim] He laid down
[Slim] Went to sleep
[Slim] And let the cat chew on him
[Slim] This sort of grandstanding should not be encouraged.
[Slim] Once again, I feel he should be chastized
[Slim] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Slim
[Haengemie] Madcat, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Madcat] as you have seen from what yojimbo said i did not throw the fight and after that fight my machine froze again (ooc)
[Madcat] i think this happened because of our new cable modem ooc it has had problems
[Madcat] this case is frivoulous if u bet in coli eventually u will lose
[Madcat] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Madcat
