🔮 What’s Next? (Pending Appeals & Future Features)

The court is chaotic—but justice never sleeps. Here’s what’s on the docket for future releases of MOD COURT:

📜 Procedural Enhancements (a.k.a. Actual Features We Might Build)

  • 📅 Scheduled Court Sessions Court is now in session—on a timer! Daily or weekly trials with countdowns and auto-start triggers for your Subreddit.

  • 🗂️ Custom Crime Packs Subreddit-specific “crime decks” so mods or users can create localized offenses (e.g., r/gaming crimes, r/aww violations, etc.).

  • 💥 Event Cards & Trial Modifiers Add “event cards” that randomly affect trials—like “Mistrial,” “Double Jeopardy,” “Everyone's Guilty Day,” or “Reverse Verdict.”

  • 🎭 Role Abilities & Power-Ups Special abilities per role (e.g., Judge can overrule votes once per session, Witnesses can submit secret testimony, Jurors can unlock hidden vote types).

  • ⚖️ Appeal Phase Allow users to appeal a verdict with a second trial, forcing the community to reconsider their chaotic decisions.

  • 📣 Public Execution (Just Kidding... Sort Of) Optional over-the-top punishment animations like dramatic gif modals, Reddit flair changes, or courtroom "ban hammer" emotes.

🧪 Experimental Nonsense (Pure Chaos R&D)

  • 🧍 Witness Protection Mode Allow witnesses to submit anonymous testimonies... at the risk of being randomly exposed.

  • 👑 Courtroom Takeover Events Mods can enable “Coup d'Cults” where the roles shuffle mid-trial or the Banished rise in rebellion.

  • 🎙️ Live Audio Trials (???) If Reddit ever adds audio, imagine live chaotic courtroom sessions like Reddit Radio Courtroom.
