    Uh, anyone know what they want for "examples of writing" witty social commentary? My history papers? My senior thesis?

    @Smeagol92055: R.O.A.C.H.: I was thinking about that. Google has more people quoting it as "on 12 systems". I defer to the will of the masses.


    My bigger concern is having system wide courts handing out death sentences. I cant imagine the logistics of that. Do you actually think you could get justice in a system like that? I really think the old and new republic are terribly organized governments.

    @OW-Holmes:R.O.A.C.H reject: I've been to those 12 systems and there are good reasons behind those death sentences. May involve vampire-sparkle-motion and really really long acceptance speeches, some convicted never get executed because their last words just don't stop. But the executions are worth visiting for. Death never ending roller coaster rides. Death by walking dogs. Death by reality show over dose. Death by talking to old deft ladies. Death by CrashedPC association.

    For some reason a lot of guys go to the system with Death by Snu Snu.

    @tawm: Do you really think the Empire changed the court structure on the outer rim? Look at Tattooine during the republic: slavery, run by gangsters, and connection to centralized currency.


    Now look at it during the empire: run by gangsters, very poor (moisture farming?), and no sign of slavery. There doesn't seem to be any real change in the local government.

    Do you have certain requirements as to the hours one needs to be available? Basically I'm asking if a 9-to-5 person can work at night or if this is more of a day job.

    I was going to apply for this last year, but didn't have the time to get the writing samples together. Now I have them. Yay.


    Not that it affects my application, but is the position paid in more than experience?
