Lawsuit: Dismissed RylandW v. Krix [2024] FCR 94

[itsBlazeX]

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION

RylandW (Prestige Law Representing)
Plaintiff

V.

Krix
Defendant


COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
On June 4th, 2024, Krix posted a forged screenshot attempting to make RylandW appear as if he was bribing voters. Because of this, RylandW’s reputation has been ruined! Not only did he forge a document to slander RylandW’s reputation, but he proceeded to act as though the image were real. Krix has a history of forging documents to ruin people’s reputation, and he must be punished for his outrageous actions.

I. PARTIES
1. RylandW (Plaintiff)
2. Krix (Defendant)


II. FACTS
1. On June 4th, 2024, Krix posted an falsified screenshot of a message with RylandW in #politics.
2. The image Krix posted contained slanderous material about RylandW, attempting to convince the public that RylandW bribes voters.
3. RylandW’s reputation has been damaged as a result of Krix’s actions.

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. According to the Defamation Act October 2020, Libel is defined as “a published false statement that is damaging to a person’s reputation.” The image Krix published can be considered libel, as it was a false document made public, and has damaged RylandW’s reputation.
2. According to the Legal Damages Act, punitive damages “are awarded against a person to punish them for their outrageous conduct and to deter them and others like them from similar conduct in the future.” The act of taking time to forge a document, and then convince the public that it is real to ruin the reputation of someone is certainly outrageous. Krix has already forged documents in the past, if punitive damages aren't awarded in this case, there is nothing stopping Krix from doing this again.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
1. $50,000 in Punitive Damages for committing an outrageous act.
2. $50,000 as punishment for slander, as stated in the Defamation Act October 2020.
3. $50,000 for the Loss of Enjoyment of Redmont. Politics was RylandW’s favorite thing about Redmont, but RylandW cannot participate in politics in the way he did before now that Krix has slandered RylandW’s reputation as a politician.
4. A public apology from Krix, as well as a public statement stating that Krix forged the image.
5. 30% of case value in legal fees.

V. EVIDENCE
P-001

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.

v.

Krix (Represented by Dragon Law Firm)
Defendant

MOTION TO DISMISS
Defendant move that the complaint in this case be dismissed, and in support thereof, respectfully alleges:
1. The defense moves to dismiss the case with prejudice under rule 2.2, a sua sponte dismissal. The plaintiff has not demonstrated any injury being done to the plaintiff by the defendant. The evidence only provides an allegedly forged photograph, not proof that Krix disseminated it nor displayed proof that the plaintiff was actually harmed by allegedly slanderous remarks / media.
2. The defense moves to dismiss the case with prejudice under rule 5.5, lack of claim. The plaintiff has shown no evidence of any cause of damages. This follows a similar line of reasoning to part one of this motion.
3. The defense moves to dismiss the case with prejudice under rule 5.5, lack of claim. The entire case rests on the claim that Krix doctored a photo and intentionally spread false information to defame the plaintiff. Even if Krix did disseminate a photo, there is no proof Krix doctored it or knew it was doctored, if it even was doctored.

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.

DATED: This 19th day of June, 2024.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ANSWER TO MOTION TO DISMISS
1) The defense claims this case can be dismissed under rule 2.2. Rule 2.2 states "Failure to meet all parts of Rule 2.1 can be grounds for a Sua Sponte dismissal." Rule 2.1 states, "
In order for a plaintiff to pursue a case, they must show the following to the court: 1. Suffered some injury caused by a clear second party; or is affected by an application of law. 2. The cause of injury was against the law.
3. Remedy is applicable under relevant law that can be granted by a favorable decision. In this case, RylandW's reputation was damaged because of the defendant's actions. Part 1 of the rule is met. Slander is against the law, this fulfills part 2. And lastly, many damages can apply to this case, so a remedy is definitely applicable. All 3 parts of this rule are met, and this is not valid reasoning to dismiss this case.

2) The defense states that the plaintiff has not demonstrated any injury being done to the plaintiff by the defendant. However, the messages in #politics (P-002) following Krix's posting, clearly demonstrate that the Plaintiff's reputation was damaged.

3) The defense claims there is no evidence that this photo is forged. However, at first glance of the photo, it is clear that it is doctored. The second message shown in the photo is sent at 3:45 PM. However, the third message is sent on the same day at 3:42 PM. This does not logically make any sense, and is clear evidence that the image was forged by the defendant.

1. The counterplaintiff's reasoning for filing this counterclaim is that they believe the plaintiff's case to be frivolous. As shown in the answer to motion to dismiss, this is not a frivolous case by any means, and has valid reasoning to be heard in Court.
2. In almost every case, the client is required to pay their counsel. There is no reason the counterdefendant should be ordered to pay the counterplaintiff's legal fees. By hiring an attorney, you are required to pay them. It is ridiculous that my client should be ordered to pay the the counterplaintiff's legal fees. If the counterplaintiff can't pay it himself, then he should have requested a public defender. But the counterplaintiff chose private legal counsel, and it is now his responsibility to pay their counsel, not my client.

DATED: This 19th day of June, 2024.

The Motion to Dismiss is denied. The original complaint meets the requirements of a basic lawsuit and therefore will not be subject to a Sua Sponte Dismissal. Regarding the claim of lack of grounds, the claims and facts listed in the complaint are sufficient to establish grounds for a claim. This case will proceed to discovery to allow for the submission of additional evidence. Lastly, the argument that there is no proof that Krix doctored the photo he disseminated is flawed. If Krix received a doctored image of messages allegedly between himself and another party, it stands to reason he would know if he had sent those messages or not. This decision does not prevent the defendant from submitting another motion to dismiss after the discovery phase.

We will now move into a 7 Day Discovery period. Should both sides agree, discovery can be ended early.

During this time any evidence or witnesses need to be asked/submitted. We will not be allowing new evidence or witnesses to be submitted during the course of the trial.

I would like to note that the counterclaim has been acknowledged and will be reviewed when this case proceeds to verdict.

Motion to Reconsider
Your honor, there is no proof that Krix even disseminated a photo in the first place. Therefore there is lack of evidence for a claim. I tirelessly poured through #politics and did not find any message where Krix posted said photograph.

 

[Unseatedduke1]

Denied. While I believe all available evidence should be submitted in the original complaint, both sides could still use discovery to bring more evidence to light. You may motion to reconsider again after discovery if you like.

 

[Alexander P. Love]

Your honor, I tender the defendant Krix as a witness in this case. I will be adding more in the next few days.

[Unseatedduke1]

Plaintiff has 24 hours to respond

 

[itsBlazeX]

Your honor, while this witness may not be an active DC player, he still observed Krix’s actions firsthand, and allowed them to change his opinion of the Plaintiff. This witness is highly relevant to this case.

Overruled. We will hear from the witness.

Your honor, Towloo has had access to Krix’s side of the case the whole time. To force Towloo to testify against Krix would lead to a breach of attorney client privilege as well as a conflict of interest. I motion that Towloo be stricken from the witness list.

[Unseatedduke1]

Given Discovery is now over, we will be moving onto Opening Statements.
The Plaintiff has 72 hours to provide their Opening Statement.

 

[itsBlazeX]

Your honor, this is a very simple case. The defendant has slandered and ruined my client's reputation. On June 4th, 2024, Krix posted a photoshopped image of what appeared to be client bribing Krix for his vote. This was posted in a public channel in the DemocracyCraft Discord, for over 4,000 people to see. Because of this, my client's reputation has been damaged, and compensation is in order.

Let's start off with the defense's claim that the image in question wasn't forged. Let's take a look a the timestamps. The first message from Krix came at 3:42 PM. The next message appeared to come from RylandW at 3:45 PM. And then, things start to get fishy. The next message was from Krix at 3:42 PM. So Krix responded to the Plaintiff's message before the Plaintiff even sent it? This image is clearly fake, and was used with the intent of harming my client's reputation.

The defense also claim's there is no proof of that image being posted. However, the image is still available in #politics for everyone to see. There is plenty of proof of this image, as it was seen by all witnesses, and is available to anyone if they would like to see it in #politics.

Lastly, the defense claims there is no proof of any injury to my client. As seen by messages shown in #politics following Krix posting the image, many individuals believed that the contents of Krix's forged image were true, and led them to no longer trust the Plaintiff.

This case is absolute hypocrisy. Krix authored the Defamation Act October 2020, and set the outline for what punishment for slander should look like. Krix posted a slanderous image, and my client's reputation was harmed. This case is as simple as that. My client deserves compensation for the defendant's outrageous actions.

Thank you.
