Members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood -
The Chamber of Justice has convened in seven matters, having brought charges against members and completed the process of adjudication for each case. The Chamber has issued detailed verdicts and Justicar Opinions for each case which can be found in the PDF files linked below. The primary opinion, which was incorporated by reference into other opinions due to overlapping issues, is the DB v. Delak Krennel opinion. I direct you attention to that opinion first. Please note that the written opinion is generally found on the second page of the following documents, after announcement of the verdict.
The cases and verdicts are summarized as follows:
Case # 46 - DB v. Shorurra - Opinion PDF
- Count 1 - Falsifying Matches - GUILTY through Trial by Justicar. No plea entered.
- Punishment - LoR, Strict Probation w/Gaming Ban
Justicar's Opinion
Facts:
Between December 19th and December 21 st , 2014, the Defendant participated in
a scheme to earn as many Clusters of Fire (CFs) utilizing Diablo 3 as
possible. The scheme involved a loophole within the game itself, allowing
one member to host their game as a Level 1 character, yet playing the game
itself on the highest difficulty. As punishment for exploiting the loophole
in the game, and violating the spirit of competition, the Defendant was
punished by the Fist of the Brotherhood, Valhavoc.
However, it was also revealed that those who had participated in the above
took turns in being the Level 1 character. For the most part this character
did not participate in the actual game, but instead stayed in camp, which
is a safe zone where one can rest and not be an active participant in the
game without formally leaving the game itself. During the time in which a
player stayed at camp, that player did not participate in the activity that
was reported. Allowing gaming activity to be approved in which one or more
members did not fully participate is in violation of the Rites of Combat,
specifically Falsifying Matches.
Opinion:
As to the general principles of Covenant interpretation and Chamber
policies, the Opinion set forth in DB vs. Delak Krennel, Case #0042, is
incorporated by reference. In addition to those opinions, the Chamber notes
that this is a case in which the Defendant failed to enter a plea. That
resulted in a Trial by Justicar in which the Defendant was not able to
enter evidence on his own behalf. As a result, I immediately reviewed the
evidence, and in this case the evidence is clear and impossible to
controvert.
While the punishment is justified and necessary, the Chamber asks that the
Defendant’s peers join me in forgiving him for the violations of the
Covenant and seek to bring him further into the fold of active membership.
Signed and sealed in Justice,
Jac Ae-Sequiera Cotelin
Justicar and High Protector of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood
