Jacob Nion Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) After many delicate diplomatic complications, the trial in the case Corrington vs. Carno finally begins. Corringtons course will be represented by colonel Frederik Brunswick, while Captain Whoknowswho made the decision to speak for himself… The trial may now begin. The honorable judge Durpin presiding. Sit down. The jury is constituted of seven indipendent and trustworthy jurors. A simple majority suffices for a capable verdict. We shall now hear the representative of Corrington. Col. Grunzwick. Brunswick, your honour. In my explanation I will begin with a detailed report of the events leading to the illegal capture of the HMS Bullshark, followed by a short but also detailed sketch of the common history of Carno and Corrington, a comparison of Corlandish and Carnorian naval law... *yawn* Alright, alright, we understood. Would you please begin now? Oh- of course, as you wish. I will begin with an analysis of the.... Objection! His stick is too short! What?! Sustained. What's the point of that?! The point is your pointer, Colonel. The statutes of evidence and documentation from the court protocol of 528, section XXI clearly state that every tool of demonstration utilized as a pointer must at least have a length of 13 inches. Your pointer is hardly 8 inches long. But if you wish, the court usher will measure it and compare it's length to an average gauged Carnonian pointer. That...won't be necessary. I can do the presentation without pointer. Objection! Sustained. The submission of graphic evidences without gauged pointer is invalid, as stated in the statutes about proper submission of evidences from 598, section... This is ridiculous! Order! Colonel Gousewick, I do not know what manners are common in Corlandish court rooms, but in Carno we learn and follow the laws of other nations, if we intend to accuse them. I was...I am sorry, your honour. I lost my temper for a moment. You better find it again! We will now hear the pleading of Captain Christian Whoknowswho. Your honour! I humbly thank you. Jurymen and -women! Good people of Carno! You all know me, I am a simple man, loyal to our beloved fatherly king, who gave me...the letter of marque! Ah yes, I see. This seems to be accurate. Does the jury need any more evidences? No, your honour. Every child in Carno knows about the honesty of Captain Whoknowswho. Objection! He did not explain anything! What's going on here? Overruled! You are losing your temper again, Corporal Bouncewick. Colonel! Colonel Bouncewick! And it's Brunswick! I demand an explanation of the reason for this illegitimate attack on our fleet! *sigh* fine. Captain Whoknowswho, we all know how short your time is, defending our proud nation. Would you please tell us more details about your heroic adventures? I will, your honour. I will tell you about a great injustice. The unjust fate of a loving heart! The heart of our king! Broken by Queen Annetta of Corrington. What are you talking about?? Sshhhhhhh! I love that story! As you all know, our dear king heard rumours of the fabulous beauty of this queen. And it made his heart bleeding. He was in such desire to finally find his luck he was searching for so long now. It made him sick. My poor king! The man who was like a father to me! How sad! Poor man. Tis the only evidence that matters. Please read the engraving. "Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough to keep me from getting to you, babe" Ha, I love that chanty. How cute our king is! And captain Whoknowswho. Good people, you know our king. His lack of higher parlance he offsets with his wide heart. Simple but honest, a good man, our king. What does this all have to do with attacking our ship? You stole directly from our royal fleet, and therefore from the Queen herself! Like your queen stole the love of our king, only to break his poor heart... I am not sure if he will ever recover from this tragedy... I - don't - care! Give us our ship back! How stonehearted you are! What is a stupid ship against true love? But how should one rough man like you know about? And his moustache is hideous! Sustained. ...Objection? Overruled! Court Usher, quote the statement about Colonel Prutzwitz' moustache. I may will prepare a group action against it. Aye, your honour. That's enough! Stop it! Fiddlesticks! This whole trial is a farce. I demand a serious explanation for your action, you inflated baboon! You don't have an reasonable evidence to justify your piracy! Colonel! That's enough. Your harassments have last long enough now. I impose a fine of 50 doubloons against you. Captain Whoknowswho, you were interrupted. Any more evidences, even if they are unnecessary now? Only one, your honour. Please look at this scar that I took from the battle. It may will distort my mortal hull for the rest of my life, but I do not regret fighting for my heart broken king! Impressive! How brave you are! Wonderful! Aaaaah! You wanna see scars? I've been in battles since age of thirteen! That goofy chimp wasn't even born then. Oh yeah, you like that?! Look closer! That's a man fighting his age! Disgusting! Inappropriate! Sad angry old man. Corporal Bulkwing! I demand you! Redeem us from this disgraceful sight, will you! The jury will now withdraw and consult. Court Usher! Help the colonel back in his uniform, for our own sake! The jury adjudges Queen Annetta, Colonel Brunswick, and every Corlander, but particularly Colonel Brunswick guilty of being stone hearted, insensitive and mean. Captain Whoknowswho shall keep that boat. But we demand to have it renamed. "Bullshark", urgh, how rough and ugly. What about HMS "Eternal Love"? You've got me. I'm ready to cry. Objection! Sustained. Colonel, take care of your temper! Edited June 6, 2016 by Jacob Nion Quote

soccerkid6 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Oh my, what a story Very well detailed courtroom scene, the slightly recessed 1x8 tiles, window, SNOT 1x4 tiles, judge's stand, and statues all come together nicely Quote

Jacob Nion Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 Thank you all very much. As I always mention, I find it hard to find the right humour in such entries. But this one was just flowing when writing. Big thanks to KaiNRG, who proved with her entry for the last build off that trials don't have to be all serious and boring. That really opened my mind for ridiculous court scenes. :pir-laugh: :pir-laugh: well worth waiting for - great build, cracking humour, Brunswick getting his shirt off and the faces in the jury changing was the highlight for me though. Thank you. After reading it again I was satisfied that I myself found it funny. Probably my favourite moment too. Hahahahaha this was such a great laugh Once back to normal, I found the time to admire so many amazing details!!! Excellent job Jacob! So glad you are on my team Thanks! It was fun building in this team. Oh my, what a story :pir-laugh: Very well detailed courtroom scene, the slightly recessed 1x8 tiles, window, SNOT 1x4 tiles, judge's stand, and statues all come together nicely Thank you very much. For a one day build I'm pleased by how it turned out. So your build is great, but that story is fantastic! Love the wood paneling on the back! The statues are great as well. Pretty funny story too! that's the best read I had in a while! Aside from that, I also admire the many details in your awesome build Thank you all very much, mates. Quote
Mpyromaxos Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Great build and interion design of the court! Amzanig and hilarius story!!! hahahaha!!! Loved the judge!! Quote
Bregir Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 The build is great, Jacob, and I will defintely be looking at stealing some of the techniques! It is nice to see that you can actually build walls with flat surfaces! The different panelling is very innovative, and I really like the statues over the judge. And the judge's stand is great too. As to the story, it is very amusing. However, as a means to convince Corrington that the capture of the Bullshark was justified, I fear this farce of proceedings is hardly sufficient! Personally, I prefer the more serious approach, but this is all in all a very well-built, very amusing, and well told story, and a worthy contestant. Well done! Quote
Dzoni90 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Such a beautiful courtroom, some very nice techniques and details. Quote
Captain Dee Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Beautiful courtroom. The mininal use of color turned out really well and the big window, wall techniques and statue decorations all look great. It looks very much like a historic courtroom and the nice collection of minifigs (and their innovative seated poses) adds much to the scene. But the proceedings, while humorous to some, sounds just like a bunch of Carnie propaganda to me!! Excellent build Quote
Elostirion Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 The build is insanely well executed as we can expect from you. A great court room. But the amount of effort you put into storytelling is just amazing. Thank you for that masterpiece! Quote
