To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Tarf] I recently sued TherAnger for luring algernon to the ocean. Ever since, he has been bk bombing me, and otherwise harrasing.
[Tarf] He has been seeking revenge unduly.
[Tarf] this culminated earlier wehen he used an announce token
[Tarf] "´ Ther' Anger has the following announcement: Tarf enjoys pleasuring any male dwarf NPCS..."
[Tarf] "He moans o0o0oh and belongs to the useless and newbie-filled DM clan."
[Tarf] "In the Spring of 534, on Sombdi he was voted most likely to be a town reject,..."
[Tarf] "largest piece of dung, AND most controversial beastiality practitioner...."
[Tarf] this was totally uncalled for
[Tarf] he then had this to say
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Tarf] You just received bad karma from Ther' Anger revenge is sweeeet =D
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Ther' Anger, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Ther' Anger] Karma bombing is not my style, its too easy and simple, it may have been one or two of my associates, but surely not me.
[Ther' Anger] And what is this "announcement to make"?
[Ther' Anger] How would I make such an announcement to the world?
[Ther' Anger] I wish I could.
[Ther' Anger] Obviously, I could have done none of these things
[Ther' Anger] there is insufficient physical evidence to convict me
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Ther' Anger] done , Haengemie
[Ther' Anger] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Ther' Anger
[Ther' Anger] &*@#^
[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Tarf] he denies the facts. I would not make such things up. Look at my karma to see that i have more bk than i would if not for him.
[Tarf] moreover, the whole world heard his announcement
[Tarf] which i feel must be repeated
[Tarf] "´ Ther' Anger has the following announcement: Tarf enjoys pleasuring any male dwarf NPCS..."
[Tarf] "He moans o0o0oh and belongs to the useless and newbie-filled DM clan."
[Tarf] "In the Spring of 534, on Sombdi he was voted most likely to be a town reject,..."
[Tarf] "largest piece of dung, AND most controversial beastiality practitioner...."
[Tarf] do we really want to condone such behavior?
[Tarf] and if he lies about his announcement, how can we know that he tells the truth about bk?
[Tarf] theranger is not known for his honesty
[Tarf] nor for his kindness
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Tarf] he deserves punishment for what he has done
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Ther' Anger, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Ther' Anger] Again Tarf brings up this announcement thing, but has not told us how we can make such a message!
[Ther' Anger] And about my karma, has there ever been a time when it was low?
[Ther' Anger] Obviously, now is no different than other times.
[Ther' Anger] and Tarf's karma is not a rare condition
[Ther' Anger] have you seen jackie's?
[Ther' Anger] its usually abotu the same level...
[Ther' Anger] its usually about the same level...
[Ther' Anger] So what is so extraoridinary about either of our karma numbers?
[Ther' Anger] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Ther' Anger
