Gamemaster's Game Advisory for Tuesday, February 20
We will finish the penalty phase for the trial of Socratic Katie for violating the Reconciliation Agreement. The prosecutor (Radical democrat Christine) will propose a penalty. The assembly decreed a penalty, a fine of 200 drachma or labor on the Long Walls; if the prosecutor suggests a different penalty, the prosecutor should explain why that penalty is in order. The convicted, Socratic Katie, will respond, and may argue against the penalty, accept the penalty, or propose another penalty. Only the prosecutor and the convicted will speak; there will be no questions or discussion. After the two speeches, the jurors will vote on the penalty.
As you consider your vote in the penalty phase, remember that you may need Socratic Katie's vote in the remainder of the game.
We will then proceed to the trial of Socrates. Archon (and Radical democrat) Christine will preside over the trial; she will not have a vote, nor will the accuser (Radical democrat Thrasybulus) nor will the principal defender of Socrates (we will identify that person at the beginning of the trial). The accuser will speak first and may have up to three supporting prosecutors; then the principal defender of Socrates will speak, and the principal defender may have up to three supporting defenders. (In a departure from Athenian practice, supporting prosecutors and defenders will retain their votes as jurors-- otherwise, the jury pool will be too small.) Again, there will be no questions or discussion.
After the speeches, we will move to a vote on guilt or innocence, if time allows; and if time allows, we will move on to the penalty phase. In that phase, the accuser will propose a penalty; the principal defender will respond. Again, no questions or discussion; a vote on a penalty will follow the speeches.
Those of you who are neither Radical democrats nor Socratics should consider whether you want to lend your aid to the prosecution or defense of Socrates. If you want to aid the prosecution, offer your services to Radical democrats Thrasybulus/Melissa, Christine, and Kainien; if you want to aid the defense, contact Socratics Brandon and Katie.
And please consult the "Metroon"
(http://www.classics.uga.edu/courses/clas2110/game_info/Metroon.pdf ); some laws still don't bear the names of their proposers. You don't get credit for a law if your name isn't on it.
