Submitted / Contested Docks
Michael --> JP:
Michael: At approximately 18:20 on November 24th, JP replied, "If you stopped sucking so much dick, you could sit cross legged," to my request for someone to write a manual for sitting cross-legged. I'm submitting this dock due to the fact that I view this as an inappropriate comment to make.
JP: No comment.
JP --> Michael:
JP: At 2:00 A.M. Michael stated that he had engaged in sexual acts with an inebriated Hannah and an unstated third party. This is a dock due to it's slanderous and offensive nature.
Michael: I did not state that I engaged in sexual acts. I only stated that Hannah was drunk and I was in the same bed as her. This was going off a theme of jokes established earlier in the night by Zack.
Please vote on each of the docks listed above in the comment section below. The format of the vote will be "Docker / Dock recipient: YES / NO." You may provide an explanation for your votes in order to help everyone get a general idea of what a dockable offence is.
Rules Changes:
1) To take affect retroactively: Level 1 dock penalties will no longer be assigned to eligible dockers that have not issued a dock for the week. However, as the dock master, I encourage the use of docks for the purposes of increasing participation and making these dockuments more interesting.
2) The current rule states that a dock must be observed in order to be docked. I'm modifying "observation" to include the witness of the affects of a dockable offence. If you witness a dockable offence but do not know who is responsible, you may still dock an individual, but it is unlikely that the dock will pass a vote.
3) The house dock. As a method for introducing more docks into the system, I'm outlining a new way to dock. Designated house events or house responsibilities may result in someone being docked if they fail to attend the event, or fail to fulfill their responsibility. For example, missing a basketball game could result in a house dock, but wouldn't be subject to the normal dock. These would be separate docks, and would be in addition to the normal docks. Please comment or make suggestions below.
4) Future rule changes will be posted on the blog as a separate post or as part of the Dockument and will initiate a vote. The rule passes with 4 votes (including the dock master). Any potential rule changes may be brought to the attention of the dock master by an eligible docker.
Rule clarification: Penalty escalation occurs when a dock penalty has not been fulfilled by the end of the following dock week. The result of the penalty escalation is the assignment of an additional dock penalty from the next level of dock penalties. Example: If you fail to complete a level 1 dock penalty, you must complete a level 1 dock penalty and level 2 dock penalty by the end of the next week, otherwise the penalty escalation continues. Example 2: If you fail to complete a level 4 dock penalty, then you are assigned an additional level 5 dock penalty. The only exception to this rule is for level 6 docks penalties. When a level 6 dock penalty is escalated, the dock recipient must complete a dock penalty for all 6 levels.

Voting yes on the first dock because JP didn't offer any defense. I consider the second dock to be more offensive than the first and worthy of a dock.
Yes/Yes
ReplyDeletenice work
DeleteMichael/JP: Yes (Fails the basic test for harassment, "would a reasonable person be offended.")
ReplyDeleteJP/Michael: No (Insinuation provides protection under the letter of the law.)
But now you're assuming that JP is lying and Michael is telling the truth.
DeleteYeah, but that "his word against mine" nonsense is almost always thrown out in court, and the parties end up in mediation. Unless either paty wants to introduce character evidence, I'm always inclined to put the onus on the P.
DeleteMichael/JP: yes
ReplyDeleteJP/Michael: no
JP did not provide enough reasonable evidence showing that amount of dick sucked is correlated with flexibility in the hips. If an ANOVA or sort of graph is shown proving contrary I am willing to modify my vote. Without data, I am forced to conclude that the statement was slander.
Second dock sounds like it was Zack's fault for allowing an environment in which jokes of such a nature are acceptable.
Amanda should top this weeks power rankings simply based on her above comment.
ReplyDeletePunish! Punish! Punish! I suggest that all dockees' faces be superimposed onto medieval stocks and other anachronistic punishments and posted on a blog slideshow.
