Just dont do it.... Simple really. Whats the worst they can do to you? A fine? Worth it just to give the system the middle finger IMO :thumbsdown:

Maybe you should just relax and enjoy it?

I mean...the game comes out on a weekend, giving you 3 days of playing uninterrupted. If you get picked to be on jury, you're going to be 9-5 every day, with a set time leaving every day. No overtime, no "can you stay late at the office". I'm sure this is probably BETTER than your regular work/commute schedule in some way, yes?

Plus you can participate in giving justice to someone. I always find it sad that the smart people find a way out of jury duty, leaving the morons to make decisions that affect people for the rest of their lives.

If you were ever in front of a jury, wouldn't you want someone like you listening to your case?

I just throw those away and pretend I never got em. Nothin bad has happened yet lol.

:foodndrink:

Not if the only thing he can think about each second is getting back home as fast as he can to play Skyrim

And discharged from jail in time too! But I have to admit that made me LOL.

Would YOU want someone who clearly doesnt want to be there, or has little to zero interest in participating to be the judge with the potential to affect someones entire life from that point forward?

Not everyone thinks so highly of the justice system that they would want to support it, or "relax and enjoy" something of this nature. I am one such person.

you have responsibilities now. you shouldnt be worrying about games. just get over it. I had two weeks off, visiting my parents for the first week and the second week free. Yeah my work informed me I have to work now, its just the way it is.

I really hope you're joking.

Anyway, release weekend is pretty busy for me, so I'll probably end up waiting until the weekend after before I start playing it.

How about going to jail for a little while for contempt of court should the judge choose to go beyond a fine? They'd probably still fine you too. That'd also put a crimp in the whole play Skyrim thing.

You never know, it could be a really interesting trial.

The law = good, people who don't like the law are unproductive citizens and should look to my sig.

And one of the great things about that law is that you can get out of jury duty by pretending to be a terrible person!

It really depends on where you live, but in my experience, there is only a 25% chance of being seated as a jury when called. Therefore, you might even get home on the afternoon of the first day...thus saluaging your playtime.

The Law = Government/patriotic ideology
Government = Corrupt and flawed in every way.

Conclusion- Patriots and law mongering zealotry are the true scum of the earth.
For further instructions, refer to my sig.

That statment is wrong on so many levels :facepalm:

Ive fought and had my friends die in the name of my country. People like you who squander people's sacrifices are the true scum if the earth.

Don't blame you and your friends poor life decisions on others. Its irresponsible, juvenile, and only proves my point further.

Seems like I'm always getting summoned... sigh. If I'd known, I never would've registered to vote and took my chances driving without a license, as that's 2 main sources for their jury pool names.

Take heart, most times it's a standby phone-in gig for a week. If you're called to appear, it's usually a one or two day civil trial, no biggie. And afterwards, you'll have a 2year(?) pass on being summoned.

Last time I got called, unfortunately, I got drafted for a criminal trial, a 2-weeker. Awful. Even pre-trial at the sorting stage, one of the scu... defendants was making a gun out of his fist and pointing it at us potential jurors. *Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!* No doubt that this was some perverted revenge as I'd asked for, and recieved, a delay on a summons about 4 months earlier. Hubby was scheduled for major back surgery & needed my assistance post-op.

On the bright side, I've now got a 6year(?) pass on being summoned again. Of course, that pass only applies to local courts, not State/Fed. With my luck? -it's in the mail already. :banghead:

What a stupid reason. Civil duties should an an honor. Glad I dont live in your country.

People like you don't deserve freedom. And don't. Don't even [censored] talk about my friends who died.

The big brain am winning again!

They will review you as a juror before the trial starts. All you have to tell them is this:

"Whoever it is, whatever they are accused of, they are guilty. They wouldn't be here if they weren't guilty. So regardless of what happens, I'm voting guilty."

They will deem you not competent to act in a fair jury and release you.

Chances are you'll hear a case earlier in the week and be done before the game is released. I really wouldn't worry.

What a curiously idiotic thing to say... If you didn't want me to comment on you and your friends, you shouldn't have brought them into this. Your the only one here sullying their name by using them as a debating crutch to support your poorly thought out argumentative fallacy.

Ohhhh, I see now. You mentioned them to put a stopper on any kind of response to your idiotic prattling. And then got all 'offended' when I dared to respond. Haha, I get it now. Kind of like why most hecklers are women, because they lean heavily on physical immunity, they believe they can say whatever tripe pops into their little heads with little to no repercussion.

People like you dont deserve the time of the day. Don't you think its about time you grew up and stopped blaming others for your failings in life, and instead reflect on the true nature of what causes your obvious suffering?

If all you can do is argue "war is good, my mates died for you" dont bother responding. Its a heavily flawed argument at best, and doesnt hold up at all.
