That is a good question since some of the juries here are actually playable. We don't even know the racial statistics with any clarity since the population is influx and some people are inactive, you would never get an accurate read.

You can guess overwhelmingly white, male and 18-26 (Call it a hunch), but that is rather thin basis and considering the population limits, it could make bgwah and the boy's job a real bitch getting a jury together for anything.

What if one of the jury member is not a white man then?

Well the language is "equal representation for all racial minorities", so I don't think that would matter.

But would it count as "reasonably proportional"?

As I said in the budget thread, we need to divide the government simulation side of things with the game mechanics side of things. Basically a bill which is government simulation should not interfere with the game mechanics side, and vice versa. So I don't see the problem here.

Your wording implies that we aren't currently though. Doesn't that mean that unless stated so in this text, it could be a problem?

Yes, you and I agree, but as we have seen taking the common sense approach for granted because it is the present "consensus" can lead to trouble. Your leaving now, I am leaving either now or in July. The next group of people may not be so common sense oriented, or seek to utilize the seeming contradiction to cause problems in a future case.

That is why you shouldn't leave the Senate. As I recall something like this happened in 2011 as well. Tongue
