Case Filing

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION

Plaintiff

v.

.BlazingFoxKit
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:

On the 28th of November at 23:00 EST, the Defendant broke into the employee-only room on 6th floor of C601. They blatantly disregarded the signs warning for trespassers to be prosecuted(P-07) and somehow opened the door. In this employee-only room there was a chestshop selling copper drills for 0 dollars(P-08). This was used so Bluesteelind employees could rent out these copper drills and pay the rental fees later according to the chestshop log timestamps(P-06). The Defendant then proceeded to use this employee-only chestshop to “buy” the copper drill for 0 dollars, stealing it (P-13). The Defendant does not deny taking the drill according to P-03 until P-05. According to these messages they “dropped it outside of the building” and upon request were unable to find it back. Staff logs show that the Defendant dropped the drill and nobody picked it up(P-09). It is assumed to have been despawned. Staff subsequently replaced the drill at 6:09 PM EST (P-10).

The financial loss for my client is big. A drill rental agreement with RaiTheGuy was signed on the 28th of november at 8:57 EST, mere hours before the drill would be stolen. Since the company was in its startup stages it did not have another drill on hand. This caused the plaintiff to miss out on rental fees of $300/hour (P-06, P-01) from the 28th of November at 23:00 EST until the 4th of december 6:09 PM EST (P-10). Rounded down this is 139 hours of rental fees lost, resulting in a $41,700 loss.

The defendant's claim of “I thought it was just a chest” does not hold water. The item name on the chestshop sign contained a hashtag(#) and an item code. The defendant has more than 17 hours of playtime (P-02) and should definitely know that this is not “just a chest”. Even after the defendant “bought” the drill from the chestshop, it should become immediately clear this is not an ordinary chest from the item name. The plaintiff believes that the drill was destroyed on purpose since the item was dropped in the middle of the road (P-11, P-12, the bread shows where the drill would have been dropped).

Your Honor,
I would like to inform you that this Player doesn't have a discord or Forums Account. I am very sorry for Speaking out without the Privileges in the Federal Court of Redmont. I have offered to represent the Defendant and wrote to him Via Mail on MC.

 

[Jakovus]

I must warn you not to speak out of turn again.

I understand your concerns, and the Federal Court issued summons in-game and here on forums. This Court is acquainted with the Defendant's circumstances, and did everything to make sure they receive the summons in time. Unfortunately, I cannot allow you represent them unless they authorise you to.

If the Plaintiff agrees, I can extend summons deadline for an extra 24 hours.

 

[Superbiebel]

Seeing the circumstances and as a show of good faith, the plaintiff will agree. After the deadline we would like to automatically motion for summary judgement.

 

[Jakovus]

Current deadline extended by 24 hours.

ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

Plaintiff

v.

.BlazingFoxKit (Represented by a Public Defender)
Defendant

I. ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
1. The defense disputes that the defendant entered the room
2. The defense affirms that the defendant took the drill, but disputes that he intentionally stole it
3. The defense affirms that the drill was dropped near c601
4. The defense affirms that staff retrieved the drill
5. The defense affirms that the drill was unavailable and a drill rental agreement was violated, and this resulted in financial loss

II. DEFENCES
1.
On the 28th of November at 23:00 EST, the Defendant broke into the employee-only room on 6th floor of C601.

There is little to no evidence that the defendant broke into the room where the drill was stored. The door to the room could have been left open on accident. Another player with access could have opened it for him. There are several ways that he could have entered without breaking in.

The defendant's claim of “I thought it was just a chest” does not hold water. The item name on the chestshop sign contained a hashtag(#) and an item code. The defendant has more than 17 hours of playtime (P-02) and should definitely know that this is not “just a chest”.

Server playtime is irrelevant to a player's knowledge of the server. While you would expect someone with that amount of playtime to know things, sometimes you can't. I have more than three days of playtime, and there are still some basic things that I don't know about the server or have recently learned. You cannot expect everyone to know everything, no matter how much playtime they have played

By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.

Motion

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO END DISCOVERY EARLY
