Majority

Once again this so called court abandons me to dispense justice alone while Dan never appeared. Alex has bravely alleged that Dan believes in aliens, which under my landmark ruling in Couch vs Ottoman clearly entitles him to fifty thousand dollars. According to a 2024 study in the Vermont Journal of Interstellar Etiquette, 91.6 percent of alien believers are legally aliens themselves. History will vindicate me when Mars sues for defamation.

Concurrence

Alex stands alone with his claim that Dan believes in aliens. Dan brings zero souls to my arena and hides like a frightened senator. I count one for Alex and none for Dan, so the crowd roars for Alex. I decree ninety nine days of games with only paperwork lions to honor this glorious default.

Concurrence

Alex wants fifty thousand dollars because Dan believes in aliens. Dan never appeared, which proves his couch owns him completely. I grant Alex the money to liberate Dan from his little green comfort blanket. Signed, Chester the Banquet Waiter.
