RULER: Peridot | EX-CONSORT: Carnelian -- NEW CONSORT: TURQUOISE

"As a ruler, I have many responsibilities, and one that I am -- at least, to the best of my knowledge -- relatively known for is my willingness to hear people's cases and provide some form of legal ruling on them. It has always been important to me to be fair, merciful, and kind. Of course, I need not do this all by myself.

In this game, I will present to you some suits and ask you to discuss between yourself and the team you are partnered with to rule on their situations and their requests."

Guinevere finishes speaking, and you find yourself in a tent with one other team.

RULER: PERIDOT
CONSORT: CARNELIAN

((OOC: For various reasons, I need to move along the teams reeeeelatively at the same pace at various points, so there may be occasional delays for some teams. I apologize in advance if this happens!))

Did he even consider putting himself in her shoes? I'm not even part of this situation and even I couldn't help but wonder if he was alive or not.

Exactly. So maybe a ruling like . . .

"The court finds that you're a jerk who can't expect people to assume you're doing fine when you decide to drop off the radar in the middle of a war. Instead you should extend your gratitude to us for not giving her full control of your estate and apologize for making her live in fear of your death and for neglecting to send her funds to support herself with."
