You're Less Important then NPCs - The Senate

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm not a fan of ultimate punishments and permanent ban of voting and holding office is almost an ultimate punishment in this game, with the only exception one can always be pardoned. Therefore I consider current provisions more like "a lifetime banishment" than "death". Still, I'm not comfortable with such definitive sanctions. This is still a goddamn game.

I guess we can all agree that SirNick was nothing short of a malicious douche and him ever going back to this game wouldn't be OK. So right, let's keep a "lifetime ban" provision for the most severe cases like his. But I really don't think using a very broad definition of "treason" or "terrorism" is good or fair. Atlasia had experienced many uprisings and a number of us did participate in these rebelions, myself including. But only Snowstalker, of all people, was permanently banned from this game. That was extremely severe, given his "rebelion" wasn't much worse than, let's say, some of Al's adventures, as well as extremely arbitrary, since nothing happened to the others. Now, both Turkisblau and Ebowed are possibly facing a life ban from voting and holding office if convicted for treason. Do we really think they deserve an ultimate punishment in what's just a damn game?

Sure some have committed what is considered treason in Atlasia, or have had sock accounts, but Napoleon and SirNick have as well in the past made valuable and worthwhile contributions to this game, and deserve a second chance.

Napoleon ain't coming back because he was a sock of a banned poster. SirNick, well, committed something what could be considered the closest equivalent of terrorism as far as the game is concerned. Those two are extreme cases. Snowstalker, for example, was far from such an extreme cases, and neither are Turkisblau and Ebowed.
