What about stuff like the people of Lornius, and the culture? Are we free to take liberties there too? If I remember correctly, Lornius is a formal penal colony of Corone, or did I just make that up?
Who's going to be judging this mess? It seems all the previous tournament judges are participating themselves and I don't have access to a current list of moderators to check. So, yeah. What's the deal with that?

And sometimes, when you fall, you fly." -Neil Gaiman
Most of the judges seem to be competing in the tournament, so that's a good question.
I would assume that Dirks and any other tournament judges will judge threads that they aren't in, though I can see how that can be the cause of some concern. Perhaps Dirks will judge all of the threads except for his, which someone else'll take care of?
Hmm.

Wasn't there a Lornius of the past that was handled the same way?Originally Posted by Cyrus the virus

This last Serenti was handled that way. I did a little judging for it despite the fact I was still in.
Are you questioning our integrity?

Yes! I know how badly you want to win, you cheater.
Aww, I kid. I was just trying to say that if we did that, I could understand why some people would be uncomfortable with it. Thassall.

Yea, they will be uncomfortable now, after you bring it up.
Way to go.

Actually, I was rather uncomfortable with this for a while, but it's not like we have other options.
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
William Butler Yeats - The Second Coming
The players have one definite protectionary measure and that is to take a disputed judgment to Santhalas for review. However, recently I have been asking for a second moderator's opinion on close battles anyway. Twice during Serenti I had to ask Ashiakin to judge battles again to make sure we came up with the same results. I assume more of this will happen in the LCC.
