Just a few questions.

What, do you feel, qualifies you for the job?

How do you feel about the status of the wiki? Will you diligently update the Senate Statute to include recent laws past, and links?

Will you prosecute violators of Atlasian law to the fullest extent?

Thank you for the questions, Senator.

Regarding the status of our wiki I must say, with the great sadness, that it's quite horrible. Just take a look some random articles, and you'll see that most of them are out of the date, incomplete, without recent informations.

It is particularly painfull when it comes to Atlasian law. We should have it all right in the place, so everyone can check when needed.

I'll be honest with you. I think my prime quality for the job is that I'm lifeless bastard, who can devote him time and energy to finally update law data on Atlasia wiki. Thus, for most of the time as AG, if confirmed, I'll be some kind of bureaucrat general, record updater and keeper.

When it comes to the second aspect of the job, namely prosecuting, I do sincerely hope these cases would be as rarest as possible, only when I'll have solid evidences in my hands. However, you all, I'm sure, know my stance on things like sock voting, dual accounts etc.

I hope to work closely with Moderator General to monitore if we're experiencing such pathologies, which are seriously threatening the game, and if I'll have any solid evidences, none of such offender can except leniency from me.

I have no doubt you'll do a fine job with the Wiki, but I have no knowledge of you ability to prosecute anyone. That said, since the main function of the job is to Wiki, you'll be just fine.

Keep in mind that the Attorney General has the ability to appoint a special prosecutor for any given case rather than argue directly. Kal's lack of experience in court shouldn't be an issue because he always has that option if he needs it. That said, I'll be voting for this nominee and I think he'll do a great job.

Kal:

Describe what kind of working relationship you envision with MG Gustaf if both of you are confirmed. Do you have a plan for what evidence is necessary to successfully prosecute sock voter cases and how you and Gustaf can constitutionally obtain such evidence?

No Attorney General could possibly succesfully presecute any sock voter case without an effective help provided my Moderator General. That's why we both, if confirmed, will have to be in constant contact. MG is acting kind like a police investigators, who provides the evidence, so the presecution may take the case before the court.

Basically, the only evidence that can be used against a sock voter can be obtained by a moderator only, who have an access to IP adresses. MG post was created to monitor things like that, so I believe it's all perfectly legal.

Mr. President, I'd like to adress one matter. Starting Monday, I'll be out of the internet access for 2 to 3 days, due to already planned trip.

I hope the Senators will understand that these plans were made well before I've been asked by the President to serve as Attorney General and I can't cancell them to remain online.

And I hope that's not going to disturb the process.

Did you really think mechanical failure in my computer would spare you my tough questions? Evil

What kind of relationship do you plan to have, or currently have with the members of the Supreme Court in general (not anyone specific member) and as an institution? What is your opinion of the court?

We have had people answer the wiki question in a similar way to what you have just said with regards to how you will improve it. Yet it is still like it is despite the work of other "lifeless bastards" to use your phrase. How does your level of LB (lifeless bastard) compare to theirs? If it is the same or lower, how do you plan to avoid the pitfalls they fell into?

That is all, FOR NOW!!! BWAHAHAH!!!!! Tongue

I'm still here so you can torture me, Demon.

I did not have any kind of "relationship" with any of the current judges. However, from what I saw, I approve the current Court works and I'm confident they have as anti-sock, anti-Kyle Mercado drones stance as me, and that's good enough.

Regarding LB question I'm proud to present...

Total Time Spent Online: 110 days, 8 hours and 34 minutes.

Now, who's going to beat this?
