Guys, chill with the name guessing.
Why?
Cause Zoat has asked us to.
There really isn't any significant difference between them. Where do you feel lost? It might be easier to just ask some questions about stuff you're a bit vague on, because it might just be that WTR is freaking huge.I've been scouring the wiki and the threads for some sort of explanation of the difference between revised or original, or a sort of tl;dr of the changes, but I haven't found anything and I really don't want to have to re-read the the first like 12 threads worth of stuff. Any of you guys got help/advice? (please @me if you do so I see it)
Ok, you are officially a liar and an idiot.Cause Zoat has asked us to.
You're trying to guess his RL name.
Serious question, by who? I mean moderators on a different website decide hunting an easter egg Zoat himself placed in the story is 'exposing personal informationwithout permission' (SV doesn't care if permission is given or not), so that means speculating on the brand new site is a no-no? When he disagreed with so much with the old site he left? Really, that is your takeaway here?
...
So, with a new thread on a new forum, I think it would be a good time to have you give your current stance on posters wanting to take a try at guessing your last name.
Go right ahead. I mean, if you just know it then it would be boring to ruin everyone else's fun, but I don't really care.
I don't actually care that much about finding his name, but Zoat's last name is a legitimate mystery in the story.Ehhhhhhh.... It seems like a stupid idea. What does knowing it gain anybody? And privacy concerns on the internet are... better to be safe rather than sorry.
It is unlikely that this case will go to court. so probably not.What I really want to know is : will Paul wear one of the British law wig ?
Let's assume that they're a little further on with the uploading in US 16.A funny thing about the Law is that a significant portion of the case history needed isn't digitized.
So Paul's ring probably has some rather hilarious holes in it's knowledge.
Depends exactly what you mean. The Red Lantern ones people were talking about are in the episode Fool's Canon. Some of the others are linked to in the contents post.
It's not happening.I smile politely, then open the door to the interview room where Mr Hamill is sitting… Pacing in a state of agitation.

But, one of the ways this 'universal jurisdiction' manifests is that they consider themselves authorised to practice law anywhere.

Generally they're prepared to overlook minor offences when something sufficiently weird is going on, but I would encourage you to tell me now if you hit anyone else, or… Did anything else that might constitute a criminal offence."

Thank you, corrected.I shrug. "I know I look good. I'd find being whistled at.. a bit odd, but if it was just a one off thing I think I'd smile, and.. maybe pose a little.

You were attacked and acted in self defence. You did take the money, but there were extenuating circumstances and it's going to be returned.

What is this 'ball park' of which you speak? Is it some strange colonial leisure space?Ok, so I checked SB and SV, and I don't see it. So, Zoat: officially putting forward McCandless as a guess.
Am I in the ballpark?
It's basically just spelling that changed.Hey, made a bit of a noob mistake and read the entirety of the original WTR story instead of the revised WTR story. I tried to pick up around where the original ends in the revised version but it seemed like enough small things had changed that I couldn't just go from one to the other.

It's basically me, a Conservative Counsellor and a Canadian sound and lighting engineer.I don't actually care that much about finding his name, but Zoat's last name is a legitimate mystery in the story.
In-universe it's so hard to guess that they were quickly able to pick out Paul as his first name within days of his arrival, but are still unable to get his last name despite it being over a year now.
I was basing my response on previous posts in this thread. Being wrong isn't quite the same as being a liar.
So, which one is your father, the Conservative Councillor or the Canadian sound and lighting engineer? And the other one is your mother?It's basically me, a Conservative Counsellor and a Canadian sound and lighting engineer.
But he never said that in this thread in any of the previous posts. Quite the opposite.I was basing my response on previous posts in this thread. Being wrong isn't quite the same as being a liar.
Warnings apply to everyone. I said to drop that topic or take it elsewhere.And there's the rub, isn't it? And the literal definition of hypocrisy.
Because the irony here is your opinion is banned here, and I am ok with that because I believe you are in the wrong.
I mean advocating incivility over a reasoned debate makes me think whatever your viewpoint is, isn't actually something defensible, since you don't want to have to actually bother to defend it, just berate and bully the other side until they cave.
You do know you are coming off sounding like a creepy cultist right now, Ok?
Fortunately there is an established procedure for representing a client when your authorization to practice law comes from somewhere else. I have only ever used it once (representing a litigant in EDTX).
You're misunderstanding the reasoning.Let's assume that they're a little further on with the uploading in US 16.
I'm going to say that some time in the seventies there was an AI or a Mad Lawyer or something that just did it.You're misunderstanding the reasoning.
It's not "there's a bunch of stuff and it takes a long time to upload it" so much as "we got laws passed that make it illegal to upload X stuff because it sets a monetary bar for successfully suing/defending and would put a significant portion of the law industry out of a job". (Seriously, like 70% of an associates job can be summed up as manually searching through prior case history.)
Gosh, no. My parents are more active on social media that I am. But neither of them share my first and last name.So, which one is your father, the Conservative Councillor or the Canadian sound and lighting engineer? And the other one is your mother?
(Or do your parents not count on account of being old fundies and thus Invisible on the Internet?)
Is it to the point that they're able to count how many laws they've got? Because that would actually be hugely significant.Let's assume that they're a little further on with the uploading in US 16.
You mean you don't come from a long line of Pauls on both sides?!?
That runs into the same problem of "having to go to most law firms and court houses in the country and manually scan the books" that Orange Lantern has, only with the addition of whoever or whatever it was having to do so with 70s technology.I'm going to say that some time in the seventies there was an AI or a Mad Lawyer or something that just did it.

It would also just switch the problem from "books" to "magnetic tape reels".
And of course it would mean Paul would have a 46 year case history gap.
Honestly, it would probably have made more sense story and character wise for Paul to just throw money at a high priced New York law firm.
Some is some isn't.?
I feel like I missing something. US Laws is not digitalized? As I understand it, better leave any thought on the matter because politics and subsequent incivility, but infodump is OK here.
And even if not, is it not in free libraries? Power ring should read from paper. Yes, new LexPaper is protected, but anything printed years prior should not.

Yes, but data volume for data volume books are more time consuming.I'm only barely paying attention to this particular point, but uh.....couldn't a Power Ring just scan the books in addition to the internet?
Heck, there are some places that won't even give full copies of their yearly law book to anyone.
You had established that he could scan superman's body from several continents away, and could do "magical hacking" via scanning servers and then creating their virtual representations on a molecular level. At this point, not scanning books is better explained by someone creating magic preventing law books from being scanned or something. Possibly an extension of bureaucracy-erasing ritual Constantine uses? Something that would prevent laws from being literally erased from the books (or altered in them)?Yes, but data volume for data volume books are more time consuming.
The scan of Kal-El's ear actually covered only a relatively small area of his body and was done while the SI was consumed by a desire to reduce his own guilt. The law stuff is toned down by both the vast volumes of dead tree, fuzzy definition and his assumption that he's not actually going to need it.You had established that he could scan superman's body from several continents away, and could do "magical hacking" via scanning servers and then creating their virtual representations on a molecular level.

My name is not 'McCandle'. Though the Scotts are a fine people -when sober- I am not to be counted amongst them.Oh, right: forgot who I was speaking to for a minute.
Indeed, sadly we Yankees only play a bastardized form of cricket. Maybe I should have said "within the pitch"?
