Bail format
Search Warrants
Format:
3+ hits with a fist/item (not weapon) is assault. 1+ hits with a weapon/an item that has a weapon enchant is also assault. Bail $250
If you assault a police officer, an additional $250 will be added.
NOTE: Eggs, snowballs, and fishing rod use is not jailable unless the person is using them a lot to annoy other players! You must actually be combat tagged by the snowballs, or fishing rods to be counted as assault (Assault charge).
*Self defense (hitting but not killing another player) is still considered assault when witnessed by police.
Murder
The bail price for murder depends on the number of murders (check this with /incidents [player]).
Bail:
- $1,000: 1-10 players murdered by suspect/criminal
- $2,000: 10+ players murdered by suspect/criminal
- If a police officer is murdered, add $1,000 to the bail price.
NOTE: If someone got murdered because he/she tried to escape combat, you may NOT jail the murderer. (It means that the player disconnected while being in combat and died because of that).
Friendly Fights
A person has to state that it is friendly, and with who they are fighting before a murder takes place if it is a friendly PVP altercation, otherwise cops have a right to jail the player who murdered.
NOTE: If a message appears in chat that shows a player's death with common environment-related incidences (such as burning to death or falling) and it was the result of a fight, you can only jail for murder if "/incidents" confirms the death was caused by the player. If someone got murdered because he/she tried to escape combat, you may NOT jail the murderer. (It means that the player disconnected while being in combat and died because of that).
Trespassing
You must ask whoever is trespassing to leave the property once before jailing. This is the only time you can teleport to a player because you are asking them to leave and giving them a chance to get away.
If the incident escalates please report the incident to a Sr.Mod+. Escalation includes the trespasser setting a home inside the region they are trespassing on and player harassment (refusing to leave the general area etc).
