Authorisation of Conduct Given Here By

*hopes she doesn't get her head shot off*
OOC:
I think it was unproductive of Shakkles to slate you with a one liner. However you will need to get other RPers on your side if you want your idea to come to life.
Running a Court System will require a lot of OOC discussion and trust so that people whose characters are being tried know they will get a good RP experience that satisfies their needs as a ‘bad guy’.
Perhaps some disposable NPC alts would need less care, but even then the RP guilds and groups running complex stories for themselves have to feel they can come to a Court/Judicial organisation OOC and get a service that suits their needs.
Who would your main customers be? General RP guilds who want to have a trial for one of the bad guys in one of their plots, or Police guilds who want a trial for one of the bad guys in one of their plots, assuming they don’t already RP that they get their warrants and trials from some other source.
I think that for this to be a living and breathing service it needs to have symbiotic relationship with a number of other RP guilds. I would have thought the best way to establish such a court system would to have been to approach the guild leaders of RP guilds who might use a Court system present your ideas as they stand, and then ask them what they would want and need from a Court in order to use its services.
Then it would be a process of negotiation to find a set of rules guidelines and procedures that would work for your Court System and their RP Guild.
Once this worked with a small number of established RP guilds, and there were various story write ups more people would hear about it and perhaps decide to accept your Court Service as a true in-game force for them, rather than some one they talk politely to but otherwise ignore.
This isn’t a flame, this is a piece of well intentioned advice, so I hope you take it well.
I wish all RPers who bravely turn to face into the wind with a new idea the best of luck in achieving their goals.
I think watching meant seeing how well something goes and deciding whether or not to add that RP venture to their version of the world. I think it was intended to be complimentary as being watched implies you have an audience, and are therefore more real to more people than you would otherwise be.
Good luck Tikon.
