Your Honor,

On February 1st, 2018 the Legislator Committee carried out a revocation of my legislator status and cited the use of multiple accounts as the reasoning for the revocation. The removal of my legislator status by the Legislative Committee in and of itself is legal, but the law does not clarify what constitutes bad behavior. Bad behavior is the only reason a legislator status can be removed from an individual, other than standard eligibility requirements, as per section 3 of the Legislator Committee Act. Also, in my opinion, the Legislator Committee did not properly investigate this before coming to a conclusion.

I want to clear a few things up as well:

1. I was notified of an impending investigation but was not formally questioned by anyone.
2. No member of the Legislator Committee ever contacted me for testimony or explanation.
3. The person behind the Lavoret account was my girlfriend, and I introduced her to NationStates. This included registering and posting on the forums under my IP. This was a "mutual activity" that we did together.
4. I do realize that founding a second account, even if it wasn't mine, is against forum rules, but was unaware of this at the time of creation.
5. Why would I create a new account two years into my NationStates career and then make it very similar to my original, to then have it go inactive only a few months later? Also, why would I make the account so similar to the original if I intended to be able to vote extra times?
6. This is the only region I have, and will ever belong to. Why would I try to break the rules, and potentially threaten regional security in the process?

If the court deems that there is sufficient evidence of bad behavior to warrant the revocation of my legislator status; I formally ask this honorable Court that they review the removal of my legislator status.

I thank the court for its time, and I hope this can be resolved in a speedy manner.
