From the eCanada Criminal Code, Section III:

12. The President may pardon a individual who has been charged with an offence, issuing an executive order.


After speaking with my Minister of Justice Ayeshan Dakseus, I have seen fit to issue a Presidential Pardon for TemujinBC. Though his fee of 4000 CAD has yet to be received, his payment on the battlefield has far exceeded this number.

With this pardon I hope to accomplish a few things:

1) To show that, despite past transgressions, massive contributions to eCanada on the battlefield will not go unnoticed.

2) To bring closure to something that, while not miniscule by any means, has been taken out of proportion.

3) To take the pressure off Kronos Q and other admins who are simply doing their jobs. We should be grateful that we have admins who follows rules, regulations and orders to the detriment of their own popularity.

TemujinBC has not repaid the fine as intended, and a creative interpretation of the wording of the sentence does not change this. He has, however, dutifully done his time and has spent that time putting huge damage numbers up in battle after battle. I challenge any eCanadian to say they've invested as much time and money as TemBC in contributions to war as a single soldier. Were this country made up of 6000 TemBC's, we could take PENIX on by ourselves.

Since the beginning of my first term I had made it a personal priority to figure out a solution to the TemujinBC case. I was on IRC when he ran circles around the rusted out 1ronman, and for me this was the final straw pointing to a pardon. I am not one to cave in to movements in the media; as such the forum petition and article comments have not factored in to my decision. Yet in this case it would be foolish for me to ignore the contributions of TemBC despite the mistake he made in the past.

It's time to free TemujinBC.

Sincerely,
