Alright.. We’ve got war rooms.. we’ve got a battlefield.. we’ve got penguins, lemurs, spies and ambassadors.. now can you tell me how exactly is this war going to be decided? Yep.. that’s what I thought.. there’s never going to be any sort of decision on the arguments because neither side is willing to admit when the other side has scored a point…
The idea of forming war rooms and formalizing your arguments is good.. but you’re missing the final piece.. we need a formal committee to review the arguments of both sides and make a judgment call. We need an Avatar Supreme Court!
Official Rules -- as of 4/9/06
Rules
1. New rules, changes to existing rules should go through the eligible armies. Majority rules. I’ll step in as a tie-breaker if needed.
Eligible Armies
2. Any Army can participate in a given case. However they are not required to participate. The Armies who submit a case for the previous week are considered an eligible army for anything decided by equal representation.
Questions
3. We need a wide variety of questions. I recommend that we have “question categories” that will explain how the question should be interpreted.
The Chief Justice
4. This person should perform the following tasks:
Results
5. The Chief Justice should coordinate responses from the judges and post the results and comments
Issues and Concerns
6. If someone feels that something is not working the way they want it to for a specific case, they should contact the Chief Justice who is authorized to make decisions related to the specific case
7. If someone has a generic complaint about the process or behavior of the other Armies, they can PM Cami and I’ll work with everyone to get a solution.[/list]
Timelines
8. New cases will be posted over the weekend.
9. The Armies will have at least 2 days to work on their arguments.
10. The deadline for submission will be posted with the new case
If you would like to suggest a change to any of these rules, please PM me.

Questions
3. We need a wide variety of questions. I recommend that we have “question categories” that will explain how the question should be interpreted.
- Red – the question has to be answered exactly as phrased. Both armies should interpret the question in the same manner (ie focus on Aunt Wu’s prediction). The response should be serious and factual according to the show.
- Green: the question is open to interpretation. The responses can be fun and silly – best argument wins (ie Zuko is a powerful heart bender)
The Chief Justice
4. This person should perform the following tasks:
- Answer any questions related to the case (ie should Aunt Wu be included in the case?)
- Give instructions to the Armies (ie – change your case)
- Mediate deadline extensions
- Post the arguments submitted from each Army on the Supreme Court thread. In the future, each army should PM their argument directly to the Chief Justice and he/she should post them to the Supreme Court thread all at one time.
- Be a visible presence on the Avatar Supreme Court thread during the case to handle any confusion, problems, etc.
