Greetings Tudorites,
Or more accurately.
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Yes, it is time for you all in this super-sized jury to discharge your civic duty by standing to judge the status of an array of individuals who currently languish in The Dungeon in Tudor Towers.
Your heroically humble narrator has been busy in the first half of December. He has, using his very special and esoteric skill-set purloined a number of Christmas characters who are now held captive in the numerous cells deep in the bowels of Tudor Towers. Their wails of anguish and forlorn plan for freedom drowned out by speakers playing Celine Dion over and over again.
Torture indeed.
Yes, HG has captured and imprisoned a series of characters associated with the season of joy and goodwill which calls into question the very fate of Christmas!
Yet, all I not lost, because YOU get to decide what they are and thus play a hand in determining their fate. You will be presented with a range of information about each captive to enable you to then to argue a case with your fellow Tudorite Jurors to ascertain whether each character is a narcissist, narcissistic, normal or an empath. This will then allow you to cast a vote and seek to persuade others to vote in a particular way, so that at the end of the process (Christmas Day) the voting process will end and a determination made. Will the captive be found to be a nasty narc or evangelical empath? A needy narcissistic type or a nose to the ground normal?
You decide.
Thereafter, His Excellency Lord Chief Ultra Justice On High Most Magnificent (Abridged Title) HG Tudor will pronounce sentence for each character based on the finding attributed to them by you all.
Thus, stand by to argue with passion but always logic, look to the evidence and seek to move the hearts and minds of your fellow readers. These wretches fates lie in your hands.
So, let us bring up from the cells into the Ultra High Court of Tudor our first captive.
