[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7187308, member: 6803337"] Modifications of the 'lawyerly evasions' idea: - "Your Honor, I don't want to talk about that." - "I'm offended that you don't believe what I said in the first place." - "Umm ... well, as I recall it ... hmmm ..." <continue for another 9 min 45 sec> - Talk about previous interactions between you and the other fellow; "Stop interrupting me with all these other questions, counsel, I'm on a time limit!" - Engage in a discourse to provide all necessary information (emphasis on 'all', not 'necessary') about the case. - Claim to have an allergic reaction to magic, just before [I]ZoT[/I] is cast. - Challenge the caster and the counsel and the judge to a duel - they have besmirched your honor by implying you are a liar. - Talk about probably-illegal stuff that was done to you as the Court prepared the case. "I was subjected to torture last night, threatening me that I must say lies to this Court." - "I challenge the integrity and honesty of the plaintiff's counsel." - Do a riff off Jim Carey's character in [I]Liar Liar[/I]. (He is enspelled (behind his back) in the middle of a trial and discovers he cannot represent his client any more because "I CAN'T LIE !!!") Emphasize how you feel compelled to tell the truth ... but don't actually answer the questions asked. The justice system will likely use [I]ZoT[/I] much like the real world used fingerprints: it is a really good indicator, but it needs to be buttressed with some other information. [/QUOTE]
